    Out of Order
    Sandra F.

    I took my 9th grader and their friend to The Cave in Bethel on a Thursday afternoon. We arrived approximately at 2:15. The traffic in Bethel as we approached this establishment was insane. I felt as if I were driving in the middle of rush hour in NY city. So maneuvering lanes both on and off the highway was very challenging. There is plenty of parking at The Cave but be sure to park in the back as the entrance is also located in the back of the building. There was a rather long line to pay, get your wristband and arcade card. As one other viewer mentioned many of the arcade games were out of order and the same was true for the VR attractions. The interior is dark as to feature all of the glow-in-the-dark decor which is cool to experience. There is plenty of lightening to see everything. We will not be returning to this establishment as it is not worth the stressful driving conditions or the amount of money you have to pay for each attraction especially when many of them aren't operational.

    Fun place for guests of all ages, with something fun to do for everyone. Mini golf, arcade games, bumper cars, rope course, laser tag, bowling-you name it they have it. Several arcade games were out of order and a few attractions weren't open due to limited staff. If your traveling far, I would call to make sure the attraction you want is open. The arcade games are very inexpensive and $20 does stretch far compared to other places we've been. Staff was incredibly friendly and very helpful when we had questions. Con: It is dark & very noisy/loud. For most kids/adults this won't be a problem but for some children it can be very overwhelming. Great place that you can spend a few hours having a fun time!

    Mini golf was a lot of fun here. Laser tag looks very cool here, trying that out next weekend (update to come.) the bumper cars is a bit small for adults and teens, but young kids under 12 would probably enjoy it. The VR machines/games look very funny and everyone that tried them sounded like they had a blast. The arcade area is a bit disappointing, but has a few great games. Biggest downside was the air hockey table eating the puck and not giving it back repeatedly. 3 of the games weren't functioning properly. Overall, this is a fun places to spend the afternoon or evening and I'm excited to go back and try laser tag.

    Came here for mini golf. The place seems reasonable priced and great vibes. Love The atmosphere we had a lot of fun and it wasn't busy at all for a Saturday night.

    Came here one afternoon where they had a special for $28 that included a $7 game card and 4 attractions. We chose the mini golf, mini bowling, lazer tag and VR. We were there for close to 3 hours and had a great time. Everyone enjoyed themselves and the staff was very pleasant. I'd recommend !

    Had a great time at the cave. Glow in the dark miniature golf, air hockey and arcades. This was a perfect getaway for some easy cheap fun.

    Thrillz High Flying Adventure Park

    I saw Thrillz Atlanta advertised on social media and was genuinely excited to bring my son there…read morefor his birthday with some of our family and friends. Unfortunately, after our experience, I feel like there are several operational and safety issues that need to be addressed. About a week before our visit, I started seeing posts on social media showing extremely long lines. I initially considered booking a birthday party, but since I didn't have 10 kids, I felt like paying for a full party package would be a waste of money. Instead, a few days before our visit, I went online and made a prepaid reservation for 12:00 p.m, including spectator passes. We arrived around 11:40 a.m., which was 20 minutes before our reservation. Despite having a reservation, we did not make it to the check-in counter until approximately 12:35 p.m. What really bothered me was that when we finally checked in, our time was started based on our original 12:00 reservation time. We had paid for 120 minutes, yet through no fault of our own, we had already lost a significant portion of that time standing in their check-in line. I felt cheated out of something I had already paid for. I do want to make it clear that the employee who checked us in was nice, efficient, and patient with everyone. I had absolutely no complaint about her. In fact, throughout our visit, most of the employees we encountered were pleasant. My issue is with the overall operation, organization, and setup of the facility. The parking situation was the first indication of the problems. The parking lot does not appear large enough to accommodate the number of people this facility attracts, especially when other functions are taking place in the area. It was extremely congested just trying to get into the parking lot. The reservation system also did not make sense to me. According to the website, a reservation was required, yet when we arrived there were two lines--one for reservations and another for walk-ins. Even the reservation line was extremely long. If customers have prepaid reservations for specific times, there should be a more efficient process to get those customers checked in so they are not losing time they have already paid for. The stickers were another issue. The stickers placed on us came off extremely easily. I repeatedly had to pick them up from the floor and make sure the children still had theirs on. I repeatedly had to pick them up from the floor and make sure the children still had theirs on. The raffle-style tickets being used for laser tag also need to be reconsidered. Those tickets are flimsy, easy to lose, and are the same type of tickets that can easily be purchased online. How are children expected to keep up with a small paper ticket while they are jumping, playing, going down slides, and getting on rides? We were also given cards that were supposed to be stamped for each ride. However, the facility was so busy and the staff appeared so overwhelmed that our cards were not stamped most of the time. If the card is being used to control or track ride access, there needs to be a better system and enough employees to consistently enforce it. One situation in particular really bothered me. I was standing in line with the children in my group waiting for a ride when a staff member brought two people to the front and allowed them to go ahead of everyone who had been waiting. One of the children with me was even asked to get off because the seat was needed for someone else on the Grave Digger ride. When I asked what was going on, I was told they had paid for a party and had "paid a lot of money." I responded that I had spent a lot of money too. My group consisted of 8 adults, 7 children, and 2 babies under the age of 2, and by that point I had spent well over $1,000 on this birthday outing. I ultimately had my group get off the ride because I wanted them to be able to ride together. That made the situation even more disorganized because the employee then had to get my people back off, allow several other people in line to ride, and then put my group back on so they could ride together. It held everything up unnecessarily. he food and dining area were another issue. The food line seemed to be going in every direction, and there was no organized waiting area. After ordering, it took approximately 25 minutes to receive our food. At one point, the register system went down, so employees had to begin emailing receipts. People were everywhere in the dining area, and the entire setup felt chaotic and overcrowded.

    This place is great! Our first time here, my grandkids loved it. We had amazing encounters with all…read moreemployees accept for ONE. The Hispanic male at the food court was rude, but we didn't let it stop us from having a blast. The guys and girls who monitor the kids were incredible, interacting and playing with, every group of kids. Worth the money 100% I would absolutely recommend!

    Better version of Chuck E Cheese…read more The best part of the trip to Xtreme Play was the strapped in aerial obstacle course. Geared towards the younger crowd, adults can partake in the play which was pretty cool. There was enough excitement from the various obstacles to provide a thrill, old and young alike. This was definitely the highlight of the entertainment center. Safety wasn't an issue and there was enough supervision even with the additional risks. There are many arcade games but 1/3 of the games seemed to be out of order for my trip. Not sure if that is because of the package my group paid for. Honestly most of the games were stale. The bumper cars were of the kiddie variety and used levers for movement instead of a steering wheel so it was a little less bump which takes away some of the fun. The overall drive space was smaller so the bumps were more like nudges. The scary 3D movie experience also didn't provide the thrill I was expecting. The aroma of buttery popcorn is very prevalent everywhere in the center, so much so that I swear it's on purpose to make you buy popcorn. The pizza was not impressive but I suppose standard for the course. During my visit the wait for the concession lines were really long. The floors were well cleaned and maintained which is a nice change from the normal food stained floors of most kiddie entertainment centers.

    This is the perfect place for kids! So many activities and games to play! We got the Level Up…read morepackage, which is 3 hours of unlimited attractions and $50 in credits for arcade games for $60. Considering the fact that 3 hours of unlimited attractions is $43 on its own, the Level Up package is a deal! Plus, I don't have to limit my kids' activities so everyone is happy. My boys loved the Dark Ride, which is an interactive ride with shooting elements, and the bumper cars. There was also a ropes course, rock wall, ninja warrior course, and a ballocity play area. The only bummer was that the mini bowling was out of order, and I know my sons would have loved that.
