The main attraction (and well worth the trip on its own) is called Fort Ballocity. It's a "three-story, interactive, soft foam ball play arena and indoor playground featuring thousands of foam balls. Kids (and adults) become "action champions", cooperating as a team to move the foam balls through the system." Whatever...remember the show Double Dare? If you took away the horrible mess, this is it! There's an open area where you load balls into machines that blow them to the upper levels where people can load and fire them from simple air cannons. There are big foam rollers to squeeze through, tube slides, twisty stairways, tunnels of swinging punching bags, and on and on and on!

There are tons of other 'a la carte' activities like the Spider Zone, laser tag, rock climbing, Jump-Shot (trampoline + basketball), and a typical tokens for tickets arcade. They have a separate Toddler Zone for kids under age 4, but the 1-year-old got really bored and wanted to join the 3-year-old. Fine with me...can't be in two places at once anyway. When I went to the desk 'upgrade' his admission, the staff waived the difference!

We went during a weekday and almost had the place to ourselves so the kids had a blast. But, I imagine it gets pretty crazy when schools are out and they'd tend to get overrun.

Unfortunately, they don't allow outside food. They do have a fairly reasonable snack bar... burgers, hot dogs, soup, mozzarella sticks, etc.
