My Hubby stumbled upon an ad for this place, while grabbing a bite to eat at a downtown restaurant…read more On a whim, we decided to check it out for a date night. We called ahead and reserved 2 spots. Upon arriving and understanding the set up, I would strongly encourage reservations. There are a limited number of stations, 1 person per station, and the average person rents a station for a hour. This is a virtual reality arcade. Meaning you put on virtual reality goggles, hold special controllers and play different types of video games. As it was our first visit, we were given a full tutorial on the rules and how to operate the equipment. Once geared up, we were put into a tutorial and then guided on how to play some fun, easy games to get a feel for the equipment. The employees were also able to talk to us through a headset and tell us how to navigate and troubleshoot when we got stuck. I have to say, I was blown away by the whole experience. It's like you are literally in the game. Like you got teleported into another reality. After we played for awhile, we were shown how to pair up and play together in a game. Next thing I know, we are working together to take out cyborgs. I could physically see my husband's character and we could talk to each other on our headsets. Soooooo cool! I was ducking down behind barriers, shooting from a kneeling position, jumping, you name it and my character would mimic the behavior. It's actually quite the workout, if you really get into it. We loved it so much, we brought family visiting to give it a go. They too thought it was mind blowing. They charge per hour, per booth. So you could share a booth with someone and switch off if you want. Personally, I think a hour goes by in a flash. Some people do experience some level of motion sickness. I was worried I might, but didn't have any issues. It's just quite a trip for your eyes and brain to process, which can lead to feeling queasy. I did feel a little disoriented for about an hour afterwards. But nothing too bothersome. They do have an age limit of 7, which is actually lower than other arcades, I am told (12 is the norm). It has to do mainly with height. The equipment is programmed at a height requirement. If you are under the minimum it can't pick up your moves properly. I would also say, the controls are a bit bulky and have multiple buttons to operate. A younger person may have some frustration trying to operate these fluently. Totally worth the experience! Give it a go!

Every year in April, my family and I participate in the MS Walk at Kliener Park. The MS Society…read morehas been hosting the walk at this park for several years now. It's the perfect venue for the walk. There are some walkers who have Multiple sclerosis so the fact that the paths are so easy for their walkers, mobility carts and wheelchairs help them out a lot. Having a nicely paved path for them is so important. I appreciate that there's so many things to do and see at the park. The walking trail of course. The big playground for the kiddos. The big water fountain to sit and chill by. The wildlife having babies and seeing them hanging out at the park. It's hard not to get sidetracked during the walk to look at all the ducklings. Kliener Park is so beautiful and clean. There's always a grip of people here all the time. It's great! People are out, enjoying the sun and getting in some physical activity. I wish I lived closer to this park. I would love to ride my bike down here just to get some fresh air and sun. I do look forward to coming back soon. Hopefully before next year's walk.

I scored a good deal on Groupon, picked up a bottle of wine, and we headed to the studio on a Friday night. We got to use the airbrush and even spray paint on our master pieces this time. And, as always, Alex made the night fun, engaging, and creative, and we all ended up with a great painting of happy little trees to take home and brag about. Now, can I remember everything we did? Paint, scavenger hunt, paint, view a couple short videos of Alex's work (amazing), paint, roof view of Boise and foothills, paint, and adding a layer to the splatter paint room. Bring plenty of wine because it's going to be a long, fun evening.

Though my husband had a bit of painting experience, my daughter & I hadn't ever done a painting. We were so surprised that we could end up with a real painting that we liked enough to display!
