Fun event for our Young Adult Ministry We had reservations for two spins on the tracks with the…read moresecond one being the final race. We were a group of nine racing and myself as a spectator. We ordered pizzas, wings, sodas, and I added some tots. After the races, the food was set up in one of their rooms. The food was good bar food. We played some games. We shot pool. Overall fun experience and it went smoothly and the staff were very nice and accommodating. I did like having a break between the two spins around the track. It gave an opportunity for everyone to regroup and check how they did.

This was our first time coming here with my husband and our kids, and overall it was a really fun…read moreexperience. We originally wanted to all drive together, but were told that adults and kids can't drive at the same time since the cars are different sizes and it's for safety reasons--which is completely understandable. Because of that, my kids were the only ones who rode this time. It's also important to know that it's not based on age, but on height when determining who can drive, which I thought was helpful. The staff did a great job explaining everything, especially the flags and what they mean, which made us feel comfortable right away. We went during the week, and it wasn't crowded at all, so my kids actually had the track to themselves, which made it even more special. One thing we really loved was that they received a printout of their lap times. It made the experience feel more personal and something they could take pride in. They also got to choose a head wrap in their favorite color and keep it, which was a nice touch. The only downside is that you have to purchase a membership in addition to paying for the laps. However, the membership is valid for a year and can be used at this location or other locations, which helps justify the cost. Overall, it was a great experience, and my kids had a blast!

The staff was pleasant and patient with my choppy Spanish. The only problem that we had was that they have a hodge-podge of different bowling shoes and none of them are in very good shape. I ended up with a pair that the Velcro straps would not at all stay closed which put me at an obvious disadvantage. All 7 members of my party were given completely different shoes all of which were in pretty bad shape. Overall, this is a great hangout spot for people of all ages with plenty to do.

The rule here is that you have to buy a beer, then you can play all you want. They have all sorts of retro video games like Street Fighter II, Super Smash Bros., TMNT, etc. They look like arcade machines, but they're the smaller tabletop style. Some people really get into it and will get the tables shaking quite a bit. They also have drink holders for your beers, but still expect some sloshing from all the table movement.

We went in 2 days prior as our plan had got rained out and he was so flexible and understanding. We had a large group and they did everything to make us comfortable and well taken care of. Our party host was named Steven and he was phenomenal. He was so great with the kids, organized, got everything we needed and made sure we were up to date with the plan of the evening. It was amazing! We had been to portals about 6 months prior just as a fun family date of laser tag and mini golf and we had the best time. I would definitely recommend it and we plan to continue to make future trips.

The course itself was clean and interesting; however, the courses were very easy and not very challenging. As a result of the easy courses, my husband and I got through them really fast. I was a bit annoyed because there was another group playing, and they were running all over the place. They were stepping on the props and going out of order. The parents weren't paying attention, and I just wish there had been some intervention from staff, unless they don't have cameras in the room to see this type of behavior going on. I think the mini golf is more for little kids. I've been to other mini golf locations, and have always found them to be fun and challenging. I just feel like I didn't get my money's worth. I think the price should be lower than what it is. Overall, the place was clean, restrooms clean, and the staff were nice and helpful.
