Yesterday was our sons 10th Birthday and he was so excited to ride the go karts. It was the only reason we chose to have the party here. We measured him and he was 56 inches tall, which is clearly the height requirement online, and at the facility. He was let on the go karts and then the "track manager" made him get off, saying he wasnt tall enough and had to be taller than 56 inches. He had to sit and watch all his friends (friends who were exactly the same height) ride the go karts, and just cried. I understand safety issues, but he was clearly tall enough. We spoke with the manger, he measured our son, and they allowed him on the go karts. Only once, because the whole ordeal took so much time. Paid for a two hour party. The actual manger was more polite and gave us some free tokens. Do not waste your money here. Go to Frankies instead. Over $300 on a party our kid wasnt able to fully participate in. Laser tag and arcade were the saving grace and the only reason for the 2 stars. Free ride vouchers, that will never be used, doesnt quite make up for the memory of spending your special day in tears.

Seemed pricey. Most of the games require 2-4 tokens or more to play so beware if you think that 100 tokens will get you 100 games. The location is a little seedy as its right on a run down section of the strip but I dont hold that against them. Facility wasnt very clean or maintained, especially in the mini golf area where many of the features were in need of repair and upkeep. The laser tag was fun but is limited to 7 minutes per round which is acceptable for little kids but older kids need a bit more. The go karts were fun and I might go again just for that. They were gas powered (unlike the lame battery operated ones that are more prone to dying on you) and they have 2 passenger carts so you can take the young ones that cant drive, BUT, the 2 seaters have a second non operational steering wheel so your little one can pretend to steer (or believe they are if you really sell it) which my 4 year old son who is 38" tall totally loved. As a whole it had pros and cons, but everything was priced a-la-carte so you can go and just buy in to the activities you find worth it. I may go again.

Scary racists ruined it for my kid! So, when my son went in to play laser tag there was a group of rowdy rude teenagers. My son was the only one of his race in that group. When he came out he said one of them hit and pushed him and called him racist names which he did not want to repeat. Names that rhyme with donkey and hacker.....you catch my drift? I guess anybody can be racist. It was uncomfortable complaining to the management because they were also of the same race as the teens. I did not want to use the other two tickets we purchased to go back in there but they did not want to refund our money, saying the tickets would never expire...as if we would want to come back with hooligans being nasty and RACIST. We will spend our dollars elsewhere thank you. Employees were nice, but the crowd was unruly and obnoxious and in need of some discipline. It is sad and MLK would not approve of their behavior.

I used to go to this place often. Even though I have asthma and the place is covered in dust. Especially the rafters if you look up. Anyway, I recently had a problem with one of the employees. The employee was very rushy and completely ignored us. Management was more on the side of the employee than the customer. The manager claimed that it was a very busy day. It might have been busy but that doesnt give the right for customer mistreatment. I called corporate office, and they said they would take care of it. Hopefully management and employee service improves. Save the hassle and go to another arcade or go bowling. Pros: Decent Dance Dance Revolution game that is in working condition. Cons: Dusty Food is bland Outdated games Employees/Management needs to improve

Youll never believe what the MANAGER said to my Kid.... Went with my family for a birthday party last week and it was a great experience except for one part.... When we went to play Laser Tag the employee informed us that we need to be quite and not run when on one side on the course because.... wait for it...... the "managers" office was located there and the manager does not like a lot of noise coming into the office. Are you kidding me????? Mr/Mrs Manager, all those people being loud during Laser Tag are the people thats paying for you to sit in your "quite" office.... and dont put your employees in a position to communicate your idiosyncrasies to paying quest, thats called not being a leader.

Ive been to Adventure Landing twice now. The first time was great. The laser tag worked well. But after going again last night, I cant say that Id ever go there again. It is a waste of money because nearly half of the laser tag equipment if faulty. Some dont even get hit, making the wearers invincible, and some dont hit people, making it impossible to fight. It isnt fair and it definitely isnt fun. If they were to invest in some new equipment, then maybe it would be worth your money, but if they dont (which they wont), dont waste your time!

Pros: - Very cool laser tag - A good place to go at least once - The kids will have a blast, just bring your money. - The go carts are pretty fast! Kids have to be a certain height. Cons: - The place is a bit of a money pit, but, I guess that is to be expected at some of these places. - I wouldnt eat the food here if I were starving. - There are several video games inside but several are broken or exist just to dispense a few tickets which can later be redeemed for crummy toys like bouncy balls and plastic bracelets.

Go karts are fun, but not all the same speed. On my last run in a kart, had a very slow kart so it was not fun or competitive. I pulled into the pit lane early and was told i could change kart. The childish manager then told me i couldnt race again, despite an employee saying i could. This lead to argument which made everyone in the line uncomfortable. So not only did i miss out on a competitive race, my whole experience was ruined. Wouldnt have cost them a thing to let me go again...

Cant go wrong on groupon, $9 and you pick any combination of three things: mini golf, go carts and laser tag, and a free large soda! The mini golf course is definitely for kids under 10 but it is still fun, the go carts and laser tag were really fun even for a 23 year old =] Played some arcade games after, 60 tokens for $10, definitely a better value than somewhere like Dave and Busters, good selection of games but not as extrensive as D&B. All in all super fun and a great day trip!

Great party packages for seven year old boy and his friends. Very informed professional staff who took care of every detail in the planning and actual party. We booked party for 20, had extra kids and the staff went up and beyond to ensure we had plenty of food and goodie bags. We took their suggestion for Fri 4-6 time slot and it was perfect for the little guys to do laser tag without too many other kids around. AL is a great value for birthday parties for kids 7+.
