    Back again this year. Park was still well kept and discovered a few additions: new foods, and a…read morefamily bathroom that is large enough to include a stroller. This is terrific - and saves moms from wrestling it in cramped quarters or leaving it outside while they take care of everything. Parking is good, and they let us drop off the two members of our party on crutches close to the front desk. Saved them both a lot of walking, which was very appreciated.

    Wonderful baseball! Outstanding atmosphere!…read more As a former broadcaster, I've been to a lot of stadiums between New York and Texas over the past 30-some-odd years. While I've never had a bad experience at a baseball game, Forefront and the Crushers are among the standouts. The Crushers are a Frontier League team. It's independent, which means many of the players here have either never made it to the MILB, or they did and it didn't work out like they wanted. In other words, they are playing their butts off to make it to the next level. Whether it's baseball, hoops, hockey or football, players at this level tend to warm my heart and feed my appetite for excellent competition. Besides, lower level baseball is just flat-out fun. Though I always root for the home team, it was a little different this time around, as the family of Evansville's starting pitcher was sitting right next to me. His name was Ben, and I found myself cheering for him as well. He was small by MLB standards, and his pitching was a mixed bag. Still, like everyone else on the field, he was living a dream. I was certainly honored to see it. As for Forefront Field, it's small with nary a bad seat in the house. The beer selection is as good as any ballpark, and the hot dogs were divine. The mascot here, Stomper, is a real trooper. The poor dude had to be sweating his rear end off, but he still played along with the crowd. If I lived in these neck of the woods, I'd be a season ticket holder. This is wonderful family entertainment, and the baseball playing is clutch.

    After reading some reviews on facebook, I wasn't sure what to expect, but I was pleasantly…read moresurprised! I went a few days before Christmas and it was not very crowded at all (however, it was quite chilly, which may have kept some folks from coming out). The prices started out at 35 for the all-inclusive ticket (includes slide and mini golf) and 20 for a regular entry ticket, plus 5 bucks for parking. But the management seems to be open to feedback, as they reduced those prices to 25 for all-inclusive, 15 for regular admission, and free parking. There are some kinks to work out, indeed, but I think they can do it for next season! For instance, the signage is not great. There are just one or two small signs that point you to the slide with no further instructions. No one tells you that if you purchased the all-inclusive ticket that you have to seek out a waiver to sign and then go get your own tube on the field-level to bring with you to the top of the slide. So I walked up there and they sent me back down with my tail between my legs. The workers agreed that it wasn't well marked, so I likely was not the first one to do this. I also saw a family headed up behind me without their tubes, so they turned around to find them as well after I advised them of my experience. Also, found it mildly confusing where to exit the Christmas Around the World tent, and some of the passport stamps were hard to find. I was still not clear about what the prize was for completing all the stamps. But it was still really fun to wander through each country. The backdrops were artsy and beautifully illustrated. I think that some of the country displays needed a little more substance though. Parts of that tent felt forlorn and empty. Maybe more fun samples in each country's section, kind of like the gluhwein sample in Germany, or some other clever little give-aways, international cookie samples, or even some merch for sale. The food trucks were fine, but I don't know if I would necessarily describe it as an international array of food offerings per-se. Not a bad selection, just not exactly unique- they are all found pretty universally, at least in this part of Ohio year-round. Only one set of restrooms were open in the ballpark and unless you stumbled upon the ones that were NOT open, you would not know this. Something that some minor signage or even a map could really help with. They did publish a map on social media, but it didn't have specifics. There was merch available, but you cannot buy a gluhwein mug unless you purchase it with a drink. For $12 I found this to be a little steep, as you can get the mug and the gluhwein in European Christmas markets for 4 Euro or less! The merch vendor here did sell some cute sweatshirts and the make-your-own cotton candy machine was really cool in the candy tent. The bars were plentiful throughout the event, and their omnipresence suggests that their goal is to make a large profit off alcohol sales. In fact, the only obvious signage pointed guests to the bar areas. However, there were lots of children there, so I am not sure if beverages sales were as lucrative as they expected. Other signs were not as direct or not present at all. In fact, I don't think I saw any signs for mini golf whatsoever. The glockenspiel was beautiful and there were some dancers over in that area, which was a cool concept. Maybe some more things like this would enhance the event too. Or maybe move the passport area inside the ballpark to make it seem less spread out and simpler to enjoy? There is so much potential here! I had fun and enjoyed myself. With a few alterations, this could be an outstanding Christmas attraction in northeast Ohio. Right now it's not on par with Castle Noel, The Christmas Story House, The Ohio Christmas Factory, or even Stan Hywett (which is probably in another category, but still a holiday attraction).....however, with a little TLC and feedback after this initial year, I'll bet they can make it into something really wonderful.

    We rented a spot for a birthday party. They have rooms upstairs that are all decorated with…read moretablecloths, usually it is very nice. Without warning they must have overbooked because when we got there they put us in the snack bar area, it was blocked off for us. We had about 6 small tables with no decorations and no warning that we would have needed them. Being downstairs wasn't bad but it was not decorated nice like the party room. Would have been nice to know a head of time. My son was certainly charged full price though. We've had about 5 parties there, that was our last. We got one pizza with our party and ordered 3 on the side. The pizza was cold and pretty chewy

However, some of the skates are worn and could used a deep clean or replacement. The snack bar have decent options with reasonable price. Lockers are available for $0.50 rental. Con: skate-mate trainers aren't free. I wish it was free with admission and skate rental! An additional $4 rental for the traine is a bit steep. The ladies' restroom is in need of a makeover. There's only one working sink and 2 usable stalls. The water temp is not controllable. It was super cold then got so hot that a toddler cannot wash his/her hands. Pro: good music and variety of games for everyone to participate. Overall, we had a great time and will be back!
