On the rails
Sarah M.

What a desert gem! Friendly treasure hiding in the west valley. It's hard to describe, but I'll try! Maricopa live steamers has so much desert land! It's got an old west town vibe Then several freighters full of train parts and gadgets. Run by volunteers, collecting donations, you can get in line to tour the tracks on one of the engines. The engines go around the desert dust with small little surprises built along the way. My sons were thrilled with this more slow train, as it didn't have scary steam or move overly fast. Everyone was very friendly- we got there close to closing and so we didn't get to explore more, but will be back in the fall. I also see so much potential out here! There's no food or drink on site that I could see, but I could see crowds flocking for fun and food trucks!

This train park is incredible. Non profit, donation based, with a love to share the world about the history of all things trains- building, maintaining, educating, you name it. Thank you Hank and team for a train trip unforgettable! Not to mention your passion and love for railroad cars. Our little conductor in the making is "all aboard" the Maricopa Live Steamers! We will absolutely be back and cannot wait; especially for the Christmas tree special. Thank you again!

Slick City Action Park - Under 3 slides.  She loved the bouncy animals provided.

Slick City on Thunderbird Rd in Glendale is now one of my favorite places to show off to friends…read moreand visitors. Among all the different slides there is something for everyone from 6 (my grandkid) to 76 (me)! Although they are all fun, my favorite slide is the Python, followed by the Royal Flush. But I recommend you try all the slides! This is a great place for birthday parties, there's a cafe and lots of tables overlooking the playing floor. There is also a special area with toddler-size activities. One thing I especially like about Slick City is that through the adventure of slides, it teaches children self confidence and helps give them the courage to overcome fear in a healthy environment. Granddaughter (7 yrs) climbed up to the top of one of the tallest slides, only to start crying from fear and then she'd climb back down. 15 minutes later she'd go up again, only to come down, defeated by her fear. She kept it up (learning determination) until she finally found the courage to slide down from the top. The smile on her now self-confident face was priceless. She had conquered her fear! She went back and rode that slide again at least 10 times. The place is pricey but well worth it. Note: you must purchase a pair of their special traction socks in the slide areas. They do not allow any other brand, so save yours for subsequent trips.

I took my three-year-old to the Thunderbird location today, and unfortunately, we didn't have a…read moregood experience. This location has been about a mile from our house for a while, but I never took her because I didn't realize they had a separate area for children five and under. The five-and-under area was much smaller and less fun than the one in Scottsdale. Even though admission for that area is cheaper than regular admission, it still came to about $19 after tax for 90 minutes. I realize that's pretty comparable to other children's play places, but at that price, I still expect my toddler to have a good time. Instead, I had to keep persuading her to stay and play because she was bored and wanted to go into the larger kids' section, which isn't safe for her age. There also isn't a gate to keep younger kids inside the little-kid area. At the Scottsdale location, we stayed for almost three hours, and I never had to persuade her to keep playing. The "arcade," if you can even call it that, was also really disappointing. I bought a $10 game card, but there were only a few games, and some weren't working. The claw machines had cheap-looking prizes, while most of the other working games seemed better suited for older kids or teenagers. The whole area looked dumpy and thrown together, like they didn't put much thought or effort into it. I also think it's ridiculous that a waiver signed at one Slick City location doesn't carry over to another. I had already completed one for Scottsdale but had to fill out another one here. They really should have a company-wide system. I was happy to learn that the Thunderbird location had a five-and-under area because it's so close to us, but after this experience, I would still rather drive 32 miles to Scottsdale. Thunderbird really needs to improve and expand the younger-kids' area so it's actually worth the price. They also need to make the arcade bigger, fix the broken machines, and make it feel like a real arcade. If they don't plan to put more effort into it, they would honestly be better off removing it. What they have now just feels like a cheap attempt at an arcade. I hate writing 1 star reviews, but when I do, it's because I hope that the business owners can take note and make improvements. I would love to come back to this location if changes are made.

My first ever visit was over the weekend but both of my kids have visited here fairly regularly for…read moreschool field trips over the years. My youngest child's friend had his birthday party here and we had a great time. Our party host was perfect. He was very friendly and social, had a great attitude, and made sure we were having a good experience. The overwhelming amount of negative reviews for this location has ensured that I will never visit on my own. I noticed that the vast majority of the staff are very young - like teens and 20-somethings. That does explain a lot of the customer service issues but does not excuse it. Our party host was the clear exception to this. I want to give a special shout out to him - Thank you River!! Some tips: If you want a quiet time with the place to yourself - visit during the week (Monday through Thursday). This will be especially true during the evenings and during the school year.

I went to Urban Air yesterday, and honestly, my experience was more unpleasant than enjoyable…read more Almost every employee we interacted with was rude, demanding, or seemed like they didn't want to be there. When we went on the go-karts, we only got about two rounds before we were immediately stopped, which was disappointing. Another issue happened while we were waiting in line for laser tag. We were standing there talking normally when a group of little kids behind us started screaming. An employee wearing a black uniform came over to us and told us that we needed to stop screaming, even though we weren't the ones making the noise. The employee then demanded that we get into a single-file line, which felt unnecessary and was handled in a very rude and demanding way. Overall, the experience felt frustrating because we were treated like we were doing something wrong when we weren't. I understand that employees have rules they need to enforce, but there is a big difference between enforcing rules and being rude or accusing customers of things they didn't do. I hope the staff can improve their attitude and communication because the park itself has a lot of potential.
