I wish I had found this place earlier. Not only did I and my date have a blast (we were there over 4 hours and contemplated staying longer!), but literally everyone else I saw there was too, from the littlest kid to the biggest kid. On top of good prices (for what it is--midways and arcades arent ever cheap), great service, and amazing selection of fun things, they take their "dont be a little turd" policy seriously--nothing ruins everyone elses fun faster than a poor sport. Especially when that poor sport is a child whose parents are either oblivious to their childs behavior or too self entitled to admit with their child is out of line. While we were there, an older child was completely misusing the go-kart track and was crashing into everyone (not safe--they are not bumper cars) to the point they were getting stuck (the go-karts were actually jumping the curb). He was given one warning, then after crashing (purposely) again, he was directed to drive into the service area (off the track) and told to leave (and wasnt able to finish the race). When the kid then tried to get in line to go again, he was told to leave, that he may no longer be part of the go-kart races. He and his (friend? brother?) got their undies in a wad and left the park. I say this not to rant at a couple of kids, but to illustrate that they take the safety of their park and the enjoyment of all their customers as more important than avoiding pissing on one or two disrespectful individuals. And I have RESPECT for any establishment that does this! Their rules and regulations are there for a reason, and if you cant respect that, you cant participate. Because they arent afraid to shoo-off disrespectful individuals, everyone there (both employees and customers) are always having a blast. In fact, that same visit my date and I were playing a zombie-shooter in the arcade, and a girl about 5 or 6 years old made her mom stop so she could watch us--she became our own personal cheerleader ("OH! YOU GOT EM!" "OH NO! WATCH OUT FOR THE SPIDER MONSTER!!) and congratulated us (complete with fist bumps) when we beat the game. When everyone there is having such unabashed joy and fun even when they are simply watching OTHER people play, you know youre in a place of high spirits. :)

I go to Scandia the day before my birthday. I give my card to the lady who has trouble with her machine charging it. I look on my statement just because I didnt trust what she was just doing. Scanning my card once and then again and then again and yup she charged it three times for a single transitions. I just love disputing incorrect charges on my birthday. Thanks Scandia. We go to use the photo both and our pictures come out black. She calls maintenance to fix the Photo Booth and she refunds our money for that. Then we walk around and played a few games and a few arcade machines arent working or severely worn. Get your stuff in order Scandia. Its time to invest back into your business after making profits all these years. Take out the machines that dont work, fix your POS system, upgrade your facilities. If youre going to charge so much you need to at least make sure you equipment works either that or lower your prices to reflect inferior quality.

Great miniature golf courses. Depending on how fast you play, youll get at least a few hours worth of fun for your $$, cant beat that. The arcade was pretty dated but still fun, the tokens seemed to stretch a long ways. I got a $100 card for my 4 kids and we went home with almost a third of the card unspent. The laser tag had a long wait so we skipped that. The facility was cleaner than expected, but also very loud. I recommend going at night during the summer, the daytime heat was brutal on the golf course. We brought bottled water from home and no one complained. The fries

We enjoy this place because of the play area, 6$ for all day play is great but it is kind of dirty and my son fractured his tibia in two spots in their bigger ball pit. It does touch the floor when you jump in so it should be regulated no jumping but that is up to the parents and my son knows better now. I also wish that all of their arcade games didnt cost more than 5 credits so earning tickets was more enjoyable. Their ticket prizes are pretty cool though, better than say Chuck E Cheese. So we still go there, we just proceed with more caution.

First time here... excited kids! Bought tickets to water boats.. playhouse and lazer tag. First stop was labor tag but very disappointing to see my twins were the only ones there and would only be the two of them playing against each other. We skipped that and came to the playhouse. Very frustrating because I had to not only wear socks but I had to buy them although I didnt want to go into the playhouse area. Next is the motorboat and Im very hopeful that goes ok and will make up for the rest of the disappointment we are experiencing.

Many activities for teens, young children, young adults, and families to do here. Each activity costs money individually and doesnt take much time to finish. While it is a lot of fun, it can QUICKLY add up to quite a fortune. Look for coupons unless money isnt an issue. Go carts, Lazer tag, miniature golf, arcade games, party rooms you can reserve, a ballroom pit for the little guys, batting cages, water bumper boats, a food court, and Im sure many other activities that I have left out.

Where do I even begin? The smell of the arcade reeked of cat piss, sour cheese and TERRIBLE service! I AM PISSED! I would NEVER bring my children here they would be more safe in the Cabelas Big Game Hunter game compared to walking into this sketchy, disgusting environment. Do NOT come to this "Family Center" the staff shows no sense of family as they did not assist my friend when her phone was stolen. The cameras just happened to be "broken" what a convenience?

This is a fun place to go. My family and I drive 2.5hrs to go to this place. Fun go-karts, though the track could use a serious repave. Really fun miniature golf course. The arcade is big with a variety of different games. Though it seemed as though the layout was very driver game heavy. Also had batting cages there as well. Uses a credit system, put money on a card and slide it thru a card slider at that game or attraction. Moderately priced.

The worst. Icee machine broken, soda machine broken. Staff yelling at adults when kids are bumping each other on indy cars. Clubhouse requires an adult to be with socks on (and they charge you for them if you dont have any). They cited that it was a health code that mandated socks. They couldnt provide said health code. The poor teens that have to run the place are just regurgitating the BS their management has told them.

Staff is friendly and helpful, but not necessarily knowledgeable. I called ahead to see if the mini golf was handicap accessible and was told it was. Fortunately it is me who needs accessibility and not my grandchildren; I can handle the disappointment. I couldnt get past the 2nd hole due to stairs and slopes. Staff cheerfully and apologetically refunded my money. The kids had a great time otherwise.
