Her kindness, professionalism, and genuine enthusiasm stood out and made the celebra...

Always good for a fun time and to kill an hour (and some money) between things. Friendly staff, really busy and bustling atmosphere, love all the lights and colour's. Plenty of seating areas for those not playing. Awesome that it also has ten pin bowling and bumper cars!! A Shame im not lucky and didn't win big but maybe next time!!

We usually come here to play games and earn tickets, but today we tried the glow in the dark 9 hole mini golf for $12pp. It's pretty cool! It's short, but the holes are fun, and the theme as well as the glow in the dark features makes it a unique experience.
