This place is an indoor family fun center with pro-go-kart racing, axe throwing, laser tag, an elevated ropes course, virtual reality, human hamster balls, and an arcade. There is no entrance fee here you just pay for the attraction you chose, or you can purchase some passes that have bundles of activities included.

First things first, you have to be at least 42" to do anything here so it's not really a place for toddlers. I would say it's best for kids 4 and up. You have to sign a waiver also and then you can get on with the fun.

My daughter is 6 and wanted to do the ropes course SO bad. She also wanted to drive the go-kart but she's not tall enough, she's only about 49".

This is the Virtual Reality game called Hologate. From their website, "Take your friends on an exhilarating adventure in a new reality and experience this fascinating world together. Fight robots, dragons, and zombies throw a virtual snowball or bond together and try to escape a sinking submarine. Step inside our high-end system and you will forget about pixels and technology as soon as you put on the headset. The intense graphics on the 90fps headset make every motion feel real; no lagging, no buffering, and no motion sickness."

The ropes course is so fun! You walk up this ladder and someone puts you in the harness. There are so many things to try, like walking through a barrel, walking over a ladder, walking through several swings, planks, tunnels, tires, and more. There's no risk of falling as you're connected to a wire and you are suspended 18 feet above the game floor.
