This was... interesting. I had no idea what Pachinko was all about but after reading the entry on…read moreAtlas Obscura https://www.atlasobscura.com/places/pachinko-world, I had to stop by. I spent about 15 minutes learning how pachinko works and then playing through $10 worth of pachinko balls. The object is to shoot the balls (basically ball bearings) so that they land in the right spot to win prizes. The moving parts are all behind glass so there's no danger but there are lots of flashing lights, ringing bells and interesting animations to keep you hooked. This was definitely unusual and I'm glad I made the stop at the only pachinko parlor in North America. [Review 18874 overall - 3359 in North Carolina - 2397 of 2022.]

Luckily went on a non-weekend night and early enough that it wouldn't be packed (would drive by at…read morenight and see how packed it potentially could get). For the most part, I was set on the go karts and only the go karts. The track is fairly small and the go karts are SLOW, at least to my standards (and potentially other adults). Overall this place is more for kids, even though that's kind of obvious. Inside was bigger than I expected. Plenty of various and new games, which was a plus to see. A lot of ticket games and prizes. The back area towards the bathrooms gave off a bit of an eerie abandoned park vibe - mainly because it was only a couple of games that were on and mostly looked like spots to put their "junk" per se (that wasn't in use). Prices weren't bad, the staff that I came across were fairly nice. Would recommend for families opposed to an adult game night.

We saw our waitress a total of three times. When we sat down, forty minutes later for a refill, & another twenty minutes later when she brought our food out to us. The best thing about our wait was the bartenders singing voice. P.S. check your shrimp quesadilla for the tails.

Bowling review: I like the scoring system (you can pick a fun theme background for behind the score…read moregrid) and it was cool to play team vs team (3 on 3) where the system rotated everyone between two lanes and showed team scores as well as individual scores. We played two games and it even showed the total team scores for both games. We had a problem with one lane being extremely slow to return balls (they would bounce around behind the pins) sometimes taking three or four player turns for a ball to come back. Those of us using house balls had to have a second ball instead of waiting. I also liked that they have house bowling shoes that Velcro on. I've always hated bowling shoe laces that cut into my hand. I also like the colorful bowling theme backgrounds above the lanes and they must look awesome on Friday and Saturday nights for cosmic black light bowling. If you need the pro shop, the pro shop guy also works the lanes front desk, so check for him there if the pro shop is closed. My friends got some of their balls redrilled quickly and easily.

This was an afternoon filled with tons of fun!…read more We were in the area for vacation and OIB has the usually beachy entertainment options. This one was a refreshing break from mini golf and arcades and fun for both kids and adults. We had a pretty large group and some did the zip line course and some braved the adventure park (aka ropes course). We had lots and lots of fun, overcame some anxiety, and had a few sore muscles to show off our achievements. I also owe a big shout out to George, who was amazingly patient with my crew and helped coordinate the outing so that we all started/finished around the same times. I also heard from the kids that their guides were fantastic. They were especially impressed that they remembered every single person's name for an event that lasts only a few hours.

For the Zipline tour, we had Jesse, Margaret, and Lacey as our guides and all of them were great! Jesse is very fun and funny, Margaret is super sweet, and Lacey had amazing knowledge on fun facts throughout the tour! The zip lines were very fun, and all three guides took every measure to ensure our safety, creating a good sense of trust. We all felt like a group of friends by the end of our tour. They also take photos at the beginning, middle, and end of the tour with specific spots for photo ops which I truly appreciate! (You do have to pay for the photos.) I will absolutely recommend The Swamp Park to friends and family! We plan to come back and try the ATV tour next!
