I've been coming to this establishment on and off for 20+ years. Sometimes I honestly forget about…read moreit, especially since I don't have kids, but I remember the first time I came here--it was basically a little rundown arcade with go-karts, and if you asked me back then, I would've said this place desperately needed a renovation.
Fast-forward all these years later, and they've definitely made some upgrades! My nephew, who I've been bringing here over the years and is now 16, and I decided to come hang out for a couple of hours before his flight back to Texas.
The place looks SO much nicer when you walk up. There's now a QR code you can scan with your phone to sign your waiver before going in, which makes things super convenient. As soon as you walk in, there's also a nice bar area to your left, and they did a great job with it. The welcome desk is right there up front, and the staff helps you set up your packages and add money to your game cards.
We decided to each get a go-kart pass and then put some additional money on a game card so we could play afterward.
Now, the go-karts... I feel like these definitely still need an upgrade--or at least some fixing. I am a PUT-MY-FOOT-ALL-THE-WAY-DOWN-ON-THE-GAS kind of girl, so I took off pretty quickly and was one of the first people to start. Somehow, I was almost one of the last people to finish because my go-kart--and my husband's--was SO slow!
I've done indoor go-karting before, and this definitely felt like the PG version. So, if you're looking for a fast, adrenaline-pumping go-kart experience , fingers crossed you don't get the slow go kart. That was honestly my biggest disappointment.
We also spent about $65 playing games and, of course, ended up cashing in our tickets for our dollar-store-quality prizes. But hey, it's all part of the experience!
We're always big fans of the basketball games, and there were definitely a few machines that were broken, but overall, we had a good time. It gave us something fun to do for a couple of hours before heading to the airport, and we enjoyed hanging out together.
Overall, I'm glad to see how much this place has improved over the years. It's definitely much nicer than I remember, even though I think the go-karts could still use some work. For a casual afternoon of arcade games, basketball, and some family fun, it did the job!
