There was country music playing, and I loved the set up with tables and chairs at each lane. The two gentlemen that helped us get set up with shoes and a lane were very nice and patient with us. They also have a great arcade area with a variety of games. It was easy to purchase a game card and my kids loved playing skee ball and a Wizard of Oz game. Back to the bowling, they were great about getting the kids setup with bumpers and brought over lighter balls for us to use. Also, all the balls are styled after pool table balls, making them fun and colorful. We went right when they opened on a weekday over summer and were the only ones there for about 2 hours. I will definitely be back and won't be intimidated to take my kids bowling in the future.

In the past years, we've come here on New Year's Eve and did the nighttime bowling, which was a lot of fun but on this visit we just went with our friends to get out of the cold and just bowl a couple games.

One of the more popular features is a miniature Trader Joe's store with shelves stocked with goods. There are shopping baskets to fill, and when they are through shopping, there's a checkout spot.

Almost as much fun for a two year old as Disneyland, and for a whole lot less money, and no long lines.

Claw machines line cute, faux alleyways reminiscent of Japan. In the center of all the lights and sound effects are gashapon machines. For coins you purchase from a machine, you get to choose between adorable and creative mini figurines. Hard part is knowing when to stop! I don't know as much about food offerings but have heard instant ramen is on offer. They run theme days which can score you a free coin or two. And there appears to be event space as well. The owners of Isekai have made their mark with active participation in cons around the state. Now their brick and mortar offers a sweet spot to be a kid again. Check it out!

If you like claw machines, you'll love Isekai! This fun arcade just opened, and my sister and I had…read morea blast when we stopped in. Here's how it works: first, you'll grab some tokens. You can get them yourself at the kiosk or purchase them at the prize counter. Tokens will run you $3 for 1, which sounds steep, but don't worry -- most of the machines give you 3 plays per token, so it works out to be about $1 per game, which is pretty standard for arcade games. There are dozens of claw machines with all different types of prizes ranging from tiny keychains to desk toys to bigger plushes. Pop in a token and try to win some. We ended up accumulating an arm load of prizes by the end of our visit, so they're definitely winnable with a little skill and some patience! If you end up with a lot of plushes from the claw machines, you can take them up to the prize counter to exchange for bigger prizes. Or you can simply keep your winnings. There are also gum ball-machine style prize machines -- pop in your token, and see which prize pops out. Again, they just opened, but it sounds like they've got plans for even more fun. Eventually, they'll be serving up Japanese snacks and drinks as well as hosting events like karaoke nights and cosplay events. Seems like a fun activity for anyone. We saw a few couples on dates. My sister and I had a super fun girls night. And it would definitely be great for kids too. All around very worth checking out!

General admission is CHEAP, but the seats are in the sun the majority of the game. And are bleacher seats. Walk around the entire stadium to check out all of the food options.

My wife and I have only been in the Treasure Valley for a little over a year. Our neighbor and…read morefriend invited us to a Hawk game and now we've been to two with them. PROS: It's a small, I believe 3500 seat stadium, so you're up close and personal to the players and game. Only seats down first and third, and behind the plate. Concessions are nice, with places to get food, apparel, and beer. I'm partial to IPA beer, so I go to the artificial grassy area near right field, where the bartenders always seem nice. Prices are reasonable. The seats are reasonably comfortable. Tickets are very affordable. Family oriented, and we've seen little league teams and young folks having a good time. Parking is free. CONS: The parking lot is not paved or marked. I highly advise you to park far enough away from the park so as not to have your car damaged by a foul ball. Pavement inside the park is uneven. Restrooms are not nice or particularly clean. In summary, I've enjoyed my time at Memorial Stadium for the two Hawk games I've attended.

Their stations are set up throughout the property and are fun, challenging and entertaining. Mostly a place for sporting clays, some skeet and trap. From the moment you walk in you are greeted by a friendly staff and fellow shooters. Prices are fair for what you pay at other ranges. Neat clubhouse with snacks and drinks to relax your feet and shoulders after a full round of shooting. Will definitely be coming back. Worth a mention, you would think a shooting range would be marking up their prices on shotgun shells but their pricing was very competitive to large stores and I actually think they had them beat. That was a great addition and I appreciate that.
