We brought my then 2 year old there last summer and he had a blast. I crawled around in the tubes…read morewith him and it was a lot of fun. Not sure what they other reviewer meant but everything seemed really clean to me. I wasn't a huge fan of the food, but the kids seemed to love it too. They have a pretty good sized game room and the main play area is really huge. It's three levels up with slides and lots of things to climb. We're from down in the Iowa City area and we keep meaning to go back. I highly recommend it. Really cheap too. Not like going to a movie to just have your kid veg out. Just remember socks for the kids. We had to buy a pair, but I think it was only $2 or something like that. And I heard afterward they have kneepads I could have used. not sure if that is true or not, but that would have been nice. Everything is cushioned, but my knees aren't really built for climbing and crawling anymore.

Fun in theory, but the execution and staff, need improvement…read more I came to this trampoline and activity center hoping for an easygoing day with the kids, and while we made the best of it, the experience left a lot to be desired. From the moment we checked in, the energy was off. The front desk staff member who greeted us (blonde hair, long fake nails) didn't make eye contact, barely acknowledged us, and came across as unfriendly and disengaged. In a place designed for kids and families, this kind of first impression matters, and unfortunately, it set the tone. The facility includes a climbing zone, a small café, an arcade, and open space for kids to play. Marlee, who was working at the prize area, was the absolute HIGHLIGHT of our visit. She was warm, upbeat, and engaging with every child who approached her. She truly brought the kind of energy this place should be known for: fun, respectful, and interactive. If every staff member had her approach, this would be a five-star review. She deserves a promotion or at the very least, recognition. That said, the rest of the staff seemed either disinterested or unprepared to manage the space. Kids were sprinting around recklessly, bumping into others and causing minor chaos with no supervision or redirection. Staff members were either too young, too inexperienced, or simply unwilling to intervene. Several arcade machines were broken, without signage, and remained so even after it was brought to staff's attention. Kids were losing tokens repeatedly and having to return to the counter to ask for help, which became frustrating and took away from the fun. This center has potential, but what it really needs is not just updated attractions, but a serious upgrade in staff training, supervision, and customer engagement. A fun place should feel fun, safe, and welcoming--and right now, it's missing the mark.

Love a good arcade bar. The pizza isn't my favorite, but it's decent for the price and The Quarter…read moreBarrels ambiance and vibe is what people come there for. I didn't get a chance to try out their signature brews but the menu was extensive and varied, so I'm excited to come back. Located conveniently on 2nd Ave, its a great place to let your kids roam while you enjoy the local beer and vibe. The games are fun for adults too, and are one of the only things left that haven't been impacted by inflation. Old school pinball machines and a variety of other games to choose from in between your drinks or even as you eat. Loved the corned beef pizza - a st. pattys day special

I've enjoyed this place the 4-5 times I've been here for some beers. Today I brought the family and…read morethe food was good, the service was awful. Showed up with the family, waited to be seated, not greeted given a "Imma putcha here" and slaps the table. Waitress seemed annoyed we were there, was on her phone most of the time, dropped the food off and that was the last we saw her until we felt very much pushed out the door. I had a pocket full of quarters left for my kids to play before close, all while my wife has a moral dilemma of what to tip this person because it's their livelihood despite the awful job. I like this place, but I'm done eating and going to places where employees can sit on their phones and ignore people. There's plenty of places that don't allow it.

After our visit to Sky Zone, our number of visits to trampoline parks stands at one. It was quite a…read morenice time and a good way to tire out a three year old....and a thirty three year old, in a half an hour! Housed in a warehouse in cedar rapids, this is like your neighbors backyard, meets an arcade. Nice digs, with a number of different areas for trampoline related activities - dodgeball, basketball and a giant jumping pit. We went with our three year old and despite it being an anyone can jump time, our a little dude there was just fine. Rule #1 is that everyone has be jump on their own trampoline. This includes you, if you're with your kiddo, but it makes for good safe fun. The trampoline walls are surprisingly hard to jump into and land on your feet, but it's fun to try! The observation area upstairs has massage chairs - legit - and plenty of seating for family to chill out while everyone else gets their jump on! Well worth checking out and a great place to burn off some energy for anyone who's got some extra!

Everything is about the same as SkyZone, but doesn't seem to be getting maintained at all…read more Climbing wall has a lot of loose, spinny holds which is dangerous, the swinging arm and platform jump you need an employee to operate, but the employees are just sitting on their phones and don't give a shit. Why employers allow employees to be on their phones is mind boggling to me. I guess the only help you can find for cheap is zombies now. I had to hunt them down to ask them for the kids each time and they were bickering over who should have to do it, then they gave them only a few jumps before shutting it down. The dodgeball area has a couple of deflated volleyballs and 3 dodgeballs, as if you could play a game with that amount. The arcade games have all been jacked up to ridiculous prices. Who is going to pay $1 to play Galaga? Get real. I didn't get any food, but I already can tell you it's going to suck. The reason they don't get 1 star is because the cashiers were nice and the ninja course is still fun, but I won't be back.

Cute, clean store. It's nice to find a place to purchase a used book with little wear. I found the…read moreemployees to be very helpful and kind. Keeping in mind it is a used store so the selection can be limited, I thought they had many books and authors to choose from. They also carry games, puzzles, CDs and records.

My review is as a Seller but as you have to wait while they make you and offer, I've browsed the…read moreinventory and seen the prices. All in all it is the same problem that has ruined "thrifting." Cheaper than new - obviously. But a new book at $12.99 is selling for like $8.99. Better to shop goodwill bins as books are some of the last affordable things at thrift stores. As a seller I took $70 for a collection of about 200 quality dvds. sold individually on eBay or Amazon if I had the time probably $500-1000. Same with the books. I have gotten $50 for a case of 100/150 best selling hardbacks. You never know as one time I brought in quality mint condition coffee table books - my offer for the lot of 50... $2. So I don't know what the deal is but the worst thing is they don't return your books. Some they take and will throw away or donate because the don't want to offend. I wish I had the option to take the books they knew they were gonna trash. All in all, they are only game in town u nless you want to do this full time. And I see them taking advantage. But that's our America. Read they are private family owned. Interesting.
