    The general manager is very rude! My grandbaby left crying after being approached with a snarky attitude.

    Came here for a celebration and truly enjoyed our time! The experience is so incredible, being able…read moreto safely interact with safari animals. The speed limit is 5mph, essential to follow because animals come very close to the cars and sometimes put their heads inside vehicles. We only ordered one bag of food per person in our squad (this was definitely not enough, I would've ordered a half bag or another bag more per person). The food is what keeps the animals engaged and attracted to you - so if this is the experience you're looking for make sure you keep this in mind. Being able to pet wild animals and feed them was so fun! Few things to note: you can rent a car ($30+) or use your own. Also, there are interactive experiences in the walk around area of the zoo I would recommend participating in if you are an animal lover and if so make sure you do reservations in ADVANCE. These are typically sold out. In summary, although the location is a little out the way, I'd definitely come back for the uniqueness of the experience.

Although there's not a large variety of exotics, there are enough very large heads coming at you to make it exciting! We laughed and squealed the entire time! Don't look away from your open window though, you'll end up with an animal head nudging you over!! We got the big giant reusable bag of food and so glad we did, we were able to feed animals all the way to the very end! We took our own car through and although a little anxious about it, the animals never touched it, just stuck their heads in the window and moved along when we started moving. Highly recommend for the entire family!!

    Since moving to the area, I have visited Stars and Strikes four times, and each experience has been…read moreenjoyable. As someone who loves entertainment-packed venues, this place has quickly become one of my go-to spots for a fun night out. There are a few drawbacks, but overall, it offers a great experience for families, kids, and adults alike. One of my favorite features is the Spark VIP bowling lane, which adds a unique twist to traditional bowling. The cool virtual effects you can select make the experience more immersive and visually appealing. If you're looking for something beyond a standard bowling game, I highly recommend opting for this lane--it's worth it! One of the biggest highlights of Stars and Strikes is the sheer variety of entertainment options in one location. Aside from bowling, you can enjoy arcade games, play pool, watch TV, and just relax. It's the kind of place where you can easily spend hours without getting bored. The ambiance is lively and loud, which is expected in a setting like this, and they always play great music that adds to the fun atmosphere. However, I do have a couple of minor complaints. The drinks are expensive, which is a little disappointing given the casual, arcade-like setting. It would be great if they had better drink specials to make it more affordable. Additionally, the service can be a little slow, especially during peak hours. That said, I've noticed they are often extremely busy, so I now try to visit later in the evening when things are slightly less hectic. As for the food, I haven't personally tried it yet, but from what I've seen, it appears to be standard bar-style food, similar to what you'd find at other arcade and bowling venues. If you're looking for gourmet dining, this probably isn't the place, but for quick bites while having fun, it seems to fit the bill. One of the best aspects of this location is that parking is easy, which is always a plus when visiting an entertainment venue. The convenience of not having to circle around looking for a spot makes arriving stress-free. Considering that Columbus, GA doesn't have a ton of entertainment options, Stars and Strikes is definitely a solid choice for a night out. Despite the minor drawbacks, I'll continue to come back because it's one of the few places in town that offers a well-rounded entertainment experience. Whether you're with family, friends, or even on a date night, this place provides a fun, energetic atmosphere that keeps you entertained. If you haven't checked it out yet, it's definitely worth a visit!

If anything needed attention, she addressed it quickly either herself or made sure staff addressed it. Food: We got cheese pizza, pepperoni pizza, and the cookie. Everything was really good and we had enough to take home. Entertainment: The games don't give a ton of tickets per play, but they also don't use a ton of points (or you can get a card for a certain number of minutes - which is the BEST deal!). Several games have been updated, but they are definitely still geared mostly towards kids (though adults can have fun with them as well). They have a new trampoline thing, which is priced separately than the arcade stuff. It's nice for little kids, the only drawback is if bigger kids jump with toddlers OR sick kids jumping and running into other kids (the sick kids are playing games too, but this is person to person contact versus touching a game then another touches the game after). Chuck E. Cheese came out to do the dance and take pictures. Whomever was playing him did a great job, walked around to see any kids at tables or playing games. Prizes: The prizes are kid friendly, and I don't think they're outrageously priced. They do allow you to buy tickets to get to another level, which is a nice option. Cleanliness: The tables and trash areas were clean. The only place I think could use some TOC is the drink area (specifically where you get straws. I would definitely prefer to see individually wrapped straws and hand sanitizer stations (especially at the salad bar, trampoline area, and drink station).

Teenagers (employees and guests) overran the place, pushing small children down, attempting to tear up the blow up slides, climbing onto the blow up dinosaurs to try to tear them down, bouncing small children off of the slide, and screaming profanity at any parent who asked them to stop sitting on the toddler gym blocking them from playing. There is no ice available for birthday parties, though they did drop stale popcorn in tiny paper bags and warm Capri Suns in our room, but the employee didn't say a word, or even smile, when she came in and I said thank you. The equipment is disgusting - no way it's cleaned daily, or even weekly. None of the bumper cars worked, the ball pit has no balls in it, the bounce houses have no lighting over them, making it so dark inside that children were banging into each other in the dark. "Children" larger than adults were freely playing on equipment clearly made for toddlers. Staff did nothing, despite our repeatedly complaining that the toddlers at our party were being hurt. The entire building seems old, dirty, and not at all taken care of. Would NEVER recommend this place to anyone, especially when paying so much for a birthday party. For a little more, Monkey Joe's would been light years better for our little ones, in safety, amenities for birthday parties, fun experiences, and cleanliness.

They are affordable and do not impress upon you the need to spend money at a mind-numbing arcade section. I can see my kids play from one spot, and they LOVE the huge jungle gym! They are always changing things up as well. It's excellent. Also, if you have parties on Friday is cheaper and less crowded. I've never actually even felt like it was ever crowded but there are busier times than others. Overall, I will drive from Bonaire every time To come here! Also, it's clean and there is not staff to "monitor" your children, but I consider myself perfectly equipped to monitor my own children and do not require this service from a bouncy house business. That's what babysitters are for.
