Cool Crest Family Fun Center

Had so much fun with the mini golf ⛳️ although it was really hot outside. The staffs were also friendly and helpful. It’s a fun place to go with the kiddos, they have some arcade games and all kind things you can try out. Enjoy

We brought our three grandkids to this fun place yesterday. They had a great time especially riding the Go Karts. We also did the mini golf and played in the arcade. There is no entrance fees, one just pays for the different games.
A couple of the games in the arcade didn’t work well but that didn’t spoil the fun.
The staff was very helpful and all in all we had a great experience. Will be back again!

I have so many great memories of this place throughout the years! School field trips, dates, family outings and play dates! I think it's a fun place but it definitely needs a major update, as it still looks the same way it did 30 years ago when I first came to this place! Some of the mechanical holes don't even work anymore, so that's a bit disappointing. It is a great place for the memories of many, but if I were a visitor coming here for the first time, I wouldn't think too highly of this place unfortunately. I'll keep coming back I'm sure, maybe some day with my grandkids! I just hope it never closes!

Planned and had a birthday here. The packages are decent and affordable for what they offer with them. The staff is friendly and helpful and willing to answer any and all questions.  The reason for 4 stars is the games don't give the tickets shown on the screen and the ticket counters tend to only have 1 running at a time. Other than that I would recommend this place for a fun afternoon with the family for big and small kids. They often have package specials for families to get the best bang for your buck and it's just nostalgic.

The golf was great. However, it took them over a hour for them to get our food cooked. We were the only ones in line. When it finally did come out it was all cold. All we ordered were 2 hot dogs, chilli cheese dog, cheese fries, and chilli cheese fries. We ended up playing in the arcade to pass time. Half the games were out of order. (Arcade pics are shut down games)

Bigfoot Fun Park

This place was a lot of fun! They have rides, an arcade, and a golf course which was really fun to go through the golf zones were fun to put and I enjoyed walking through and seeing the sites. This places is good to bring uour kids and in my opinion was fun to bring a date (something a little different than seeing a movie ir going out to eat).

We had a blast playing around here for a few hours. Felt that the family pack price menu was a little misleading as it made it appear the gravity bomb was included in it, but they worked through it with us and we.enjoyed our time.

We had a blast here! Played putt putt and at the arcade. The arcade felt like a sweat shop. The mini golf was a lot of fun. They do have some awesome stuff to trade in tickets for at the arcade.

So much fun!!!

The staff are great and really take the time to explain everything and the pricing.

The arcade has up to date machines and is really clean. The prizes are what you expect coming to a place like this.

Our kiddos ages 9-14 LOVED the maze! It was the best part for them and they could not stop talking about it after we left. Apparently it made for great game of hide & seek. The jump pillow at the end was added bonus. It can be a little scary for some kiddos but you don’t have to do it.

The gravity bomb went higher than expected and gave more of a thrill as well. It is a very short ride so if you pay for just that experience, I would consider it expensive.

The VR game was a blast for them. It lasted about 10 minutes and we could hear them laughing/screaming the entire time.

We enjoyed this place for mini golf. There is only 1 course though and think it's a touch pricey.  But we enjoy the course and they play fun music that I really enjoyed to have while playing our game.  This place offers other activites as well...

Branson's Promised Land Zoo

We liked this Christmas drive through better than the other two there is in Branson.  The main reason are the live animals.   It’s like you’re getting a two for one deal.  A drive through safari and a Christmas light display.  Prices are reasonable especially if you go through Groupon.  And another thing is that it seemed long ( good thing) and you go at your own pace.  Also at the end are some baby bison you can feed and pet.  Recommended!

Such a nice zoo. For us, if you have seen one goat, alpaca, or small deer then you've seen any of them. What I feel sets this place apart is the parakeet feeding area, the encounters, and the talking birds. I think they were parakeets maybe. Really worth a stop and check it out for yourself. The people working their really do seem like they love their jobs and the animals. Not a "sad zoo" at all. All the animals look well cared for.

We’re came here and we practically had the entire place to ourselves. We did the vip + which is a bit expensive but it’s totally worth every penny. We were able to hold the baby kangaroo, tegu lizard, and baby ring tail lemur for a good amount of time. On the tram ride, it was easy to move from one side of the tram to the other to feed the animals. The sloth encounter was definitely one of the highlights. I would recommend this zoo especially the vip + if you got the money to spend. FYI, my visit here was a little while ago but maybe this can help them get more business.

I am truly at a loss for words about my husband and I’s experience at The Promised Land Zoo.  It is a day I will never forget.  We signed up for the ultimate experience.  This allowed us 4 hours full of making memories.  We were able to feed and pet sloths, played with a spider monkey and lemur, held a baby Joey, a guided tour on a RTV where animals come up to you! Yes, I said come up to you.  Animals like llamas, deer, bison, camels, ostriches, emus, donkeys…the list goes on and on.  Our last surprise of the day was feeding HYENAS (of course through a fence and using long handled spoons) but WOW…hyenas!!!!  The zookeepers were incredibly knowledgeable and so patient as we took our time with the animals. I HIGHLY recommend visiting this magical place.  Even if you can’t do the experience we did, there is still a long list of fun things and hands on adventures! You need to add this to your bucket list… you will not be disappointed.

This is a nice little zoo. The walk thru part was fun but some of the animals were a bit far in between so there was a lot of walking. They had animal encounters if you wanted to pay extra for that. We did not but we watched others who did and it looked fun.

The drive thru part I think was the best. The animals get right up in your car and beg for god. They are adorable and super friendly. Plan to spend a good couple of hours there to do both parts.

Fun City

A fun place for kids.  Know it's expensive,  but the kids will have lots of fun.  Big slide, bungee jump,  bumper cars, 2 putt putt courses,  arcade,  bumper boats,  go carts.

Pretty decent way to kill a couple hours; HOWEVER, your money is going to go FAST! The cheapest “ride” is going on the huge slides, but each time down is $2/person and it’s seriously over in seconds. Mini golf is about $9/person for 18 holes and go carts are $10/person for 5 or so laps. You can easily blow through $100 in an hour.

I’ve been coming to Estes Park on vacations for years and every time I come by Fun City. This trip I have to compliment them on a much better upkeep than in previous years. For one, it looks like the mini golf carpets have been replaced since the last time, which is a vast improvement alone. They’ve also added some gold panning and a water ball thing where you go into a huge inflatable ball and go into a pool.

My only complaint this go round is that the mini golf could’ve been improved even more. Pine needles and leaves are everywhere and I don’t think it would take much more than a leaf blower to clear the courses a bit better. Also, the water features are all dirty and full of debris. Not a deal breaker, but maybe a touch more attention for the expense customers are paying.

Great place with friendly staff. All 4 kids in our group loved it, and said it was their favorite part of the trip. Even the dads had fun on the go-carts and mini-golf. We ended up going here at least once a day while we were in town. Bonus: the bathrooms were very clean too.

This place was so accommodating and fun!! the Slide was an easy hit, the go-karts and bumper boats were a blast, there's so many more options for all ages. The facilities were well taken care of and we will be back!! Thanks to the Davis owners for great customer service!

Been coming here for years and always had a great time. Really surprised how they’ve shortened the time in the water balls & the Bungee Jump time is ridiculous for the price. Barely got to the right angle for the video and it was over. Five jumps. 🤨 No one in line, and they’re asking for tips. My tip went back in my wallet.
Nice park & fun stuff to do but when you increase prices and shorten activities it’s disappointing!!

Six Flags St. Louis

I always loved going to this thing park as a kid. Now I get to take my kids to it. The lines are usually really long on the bigger rides, I would recommend getting the flash pass if you can afford the extra money. The Batman and Mr freeze are one of my favorite rides including the log flume also, if you plan on going more than two times for the year I would suggest the season pass, you also get food discounts and merchandise discounts with that and premier parking and also access to the water park. The water park is always really crowded into this hard to get on the slides. Overall a very good theme park.

Really enjoyed all the steel coasters. The wooden ones are nice but they are rough, I can't ride them back to back without a break. Reline the tracks with metal tubing. They need to redo the walkway to The Boss coaster. It's ridiculously long with too many stairs.

Staff was excellent dealing with a major ticket scanning issue. Bought tickets in August for Fright Fest and all 6 tickets were scanning as invalid. Had to wait in a very long line to speak with guest services who printed out new tickets which in total took up 45 minutes we could have been in the park. Then we had issues getting our fast passes into the Haunted Attractions. Again, tickets scanning as invalid. Every Haunted Attraction took anywhere from 15 to 30 minutes to get into because our tickets wouldn't scan so the fast pass was useless. Thankfully we ran into Shaun at Jingle who sped up the process a little bit when we went into Slaughterhouse. I will not bother with a Fast Pass again.

Weather excellent today with very few waits more than 15 minutes which is fast! Great rides and entertainment this year. Get your season passes and come see! Lots of fun for all ages😎 a few water park and a few rides were not open. The fireworks were awesome! Excited both sides and traffic was minimal.

A lot of the rides inside both the park and hurricane harbor were closed. The ones that were up and running were a lot of fun though. The food and drinks are pretty pricey but there are some fast food places nearby to choose from. We arrived when it opened, left for lunch then came back until they closed. Despite the amount of rides that were down, my kids (8, 12 and 14) all still had a lot of fun. I’m not a fan of roller coasters or rides in general myself and I still had a good time watching them all have fun.
We also took advantage of Hurricane Harbor. A few of the slides were closed which made the lines of the ones that were open very long. 45 mins for a water slide just isn’t worth it to me.

Nickelodeon Universe

Cool rides. The log fume ride was our favorite. We also liked the Pepsi Orange rollercoaster. Friendly and helpful staff. I recommend getting there early when they open to avoid waiting in long lines.

So much fun! There are rides for all ages and just so many different activities to do.... Wall climbing, Barbie cafe, fly over America...etc.
The rides are not that many points especially if you have young kids. We got an 84 point wristband for$80 roughly I think and it worked great for my two young kids and my husband even went on a few rides with the kids.

We stopped at the mall as an almost afterthought to the end of our vacation!  We had a blessing where an individual gave us tickets to the rides!  The kids got a treat to ride multiple rides and just have a blast!!  Thank you to that anonymous stranger who blessed our family!!

A great Indoor Amusement park for all ages. Gets very busy during holidays. Best rides are SpongeBob, Aibender, Ninja Turtle, log Chute, Brain Surge, Fairly odd and Pepsi. Kids under 48" have decent rides too.

So much packed into a small area! The rides were a little bit rougher than expected but still a great time! Lots of food options and stores. I recommend getting the all day pass and just going at open and making a day of it! Truly fun for all ages without a lot of thrillers.

Mall of America®

Still a great experience visiting the MOA! Fun stores, nearly unlimited, unique items to see/buy. I went a few days before Christmas near the 10AM opening time and even around noon-1:00 it wasn’t overly crowded.

This mall is massive. So much to do and see. Lots of attractions. 4 levels of shopping and dining. Navigating around the mall was easy with the touch screen directories that give directions for the store, restaurant or attraction you are looking for. Friendly and helpful staff.

I have been coming to the Mall of America since it opened. It’s definitely worth seeing. It does get busy during the holidays but is a fun experience. The amusement park is even fun to walk through if you have time. It’s safe and clean and the employees are friendly. I haven’t had any bad experiences—and I’ve been here many many times

I’ve always wanted to visit the mall and finally did. I wasn’t disappointed but maybe more so expected more. The coolest part was the theme park area with the rest of the mall just a supersized version of a mall in any bigger city, sure there are special stores and TONS of normal stores but nothing really stood out to me. That being said I think it is a must visit to cross off one’s bucket list if nearby. I drove around 9 hours, because it’s always been on my bucket list, and can say it probably wasn’t worth the drive but there are other things to do in the area and that makes it worthwhile overall.

Over the years I have seen many an exhibit and store come through the wall of the Mall of America. This truly is a sight.

Even if you're not one for shopping, it's great to see all that's in store here. There's plenty of parking and for a mall that is extremely large, it's actually well designed. There are very few times where you will feel as if it's crowded.

As a tourist attraction, it's on my must visit list.

Holiday World & Splashin' Safari

Kids of all ages love Holiday World. It is clean, safe, and a ton of fun. We go almost every year, but this year, we had fewer grown-ups in our group. With just 2 adults, it was hard to enjoy and please the kids with the height differences resulting in long wait times for both age groups until we split up. The food prices have jumped in the past couple of years so we packed our lunch and dinner. They have a nice picnic area by the car park (we parked in "The Legend" parking lot). We always buy tickets in advance for the discount. Happy Halloween Weekends is a fun and festive time to visit, but the water park is closed. They do offer free drinks and sunscreen. Take your debit/credit card because they have a no cash policy. And wear your walking shoes!!!

We love Holiday World! Our family has been going there around 43 years!!! Used to be called Santa Claus. It has grown so much over the years. But it is still a family oriented, clean park. I like the fact that they do not serve alcohol...so you can go have fun without dealing with drunk people. You don't see rowdy behavior either. I think the admission price is reasonable  and parking is FREE!

Great family oriented amusement park. As advertised, free parking, sunscreen, and soft drinks. Several areas for the younger guests to ride and play. The water park is large with many different slides, splash zones, and wave pools. There are wooden coasters for those who enjoy that type of ride. They also have a well versed genre of food courts to choose from including a Thanksgiving style meal. We were there on a Sunday the last week of July and the longest wait time was a little over 10 minutes.

I love this place luckily I went when it was the second to last day for the water park so there was almost no lines. I will 100% be coming back because this is a great place to take your family, friends or even somebody that you could be dating. The roller coaster rides are amazing and the water park is as good as it gets.

A very fun place to go. You will need 2 days to do everything in both parks.
The 1 picture is the swings in Halloween land.  The first one is Turkey whirl in Thanksgiving land. They are building more. Will have a Boomerang ride next year.

PARTY SAFARI

Okay let’s see where to start. If I could rate 0 stars I would. HIGHLY do not recommend, as a business owner myself I love to support and give other business a shot however this has been thee WORSE experience ever. Never was greeted at the desk, no friendliness any where. It was more like, what do you want to purchase? Smh (I should’ve walked out then, but it’s my son’s birthday weekend) this place is a figure it out on your own place. No customer service asking for assistance. I do NOT recommend getting wristbands at ALL, because you only get 2 hours of play time. I purchased the XTREME WRISTBAND which includes everything but race cars. Party safari had to be short staffed because no workers could be found at the inflatable, rock wall or bumper cars. I had to literally find workers to ask if someone could start each area for my son. Be mindful it’s a 2 hour play time wristband. Let’s not get started with laser tag. After speaking with a worker after purchasing laser tag starts every 40 mins to a hour so it’s not really all you can play within a 2 hour time frame. I’m currently sitting in this place typing this, and will never give this place another $1. I wish I could record this mess, if you want to chance it, good luck. These pictures are exactly the experienced no workers found, you will spend most of your time looking for employees.

Always the best customer service, fun, and food. Every birthday party we have held here has been amazing! I can't wait for the new bowling alley addition. We are so fortunate to have such a great place for our kids!

We only went here because where my son wanted to go was closed but given the location and what it offers I thought it would be great.  I WAS WRONG!! Purchasing tickets was a big confusion and all he did was try to get us to spend more.  Granted all places will do that but he was not listening so he thought he was helping.  We walk upstairs to go to the disgusting trampoline park and the smell of feet hits your nose like a wrecking ball! All tables were dirty and I had to ask the workers to clean them as they did not attend to the jumpers at all.  Every I mean EVERY area is unsanitary. Used socks open candy bars dust and dirt everywhere!!! And I take it they don't own a vacuum!! All the trampoline obstacles were brown and just nasty!!! On the weekends i understand but it's a Wednesday this place should be clean!!! I would give a 0 star but it won't let me!!!

Nice fun and entertaining for kids. Always busy. Lots to do to kids and some things adults enjoy as well. Great family environment, kids never ready to leave.

The parking lot was packed, but there was plenty of room inside for everyone! The new go-kart racing was so much fun. Great mom and daughter afternoon. We will be back soon with our boys.

XtremeHopp

It is a great place where kids can spend time off screen and parents can have some time to themselves. My 15 - and 11 years old kids had an amazing time there. They not only have trampoline but have other activities like escape room and etc as well. Also, there is a cafe. The best part is that only the participants have to pay for the tickets. The prices are reasonable. The best way to secure your spot is to purchase your tickets online. Lastly, their customer service is amazing. I had a few questions before purchasing passes, and they replied promptly.

We just celebrated my daughter’s 12th birthday at XtremeHopp. Everything from booking to the party day was a complete breeze. The service was wonderful and the staff is super friendly. The owner checked in with us at the end of our party to make sure everything was to our satisfaction and that meant the most to me. You can tell he takes great pride in his business because the employees are happy and it makes a difference in the atmosphere. Thank you for a stress free party XtremeHopp!

Fun place but horrible sanitation. Caught the flu from this place. The masks for axe throwing were not clean. When I asked for them to clean it, they cleaned it with a dirty rag. Also I have no idea the last time they cleaned their foam pit. Once they get their sanitation up to par, they will be worth more stars.

Wonderful Place for Kids, Definitely recommend to visit and have Fun. visited for a bday party and my kid had wonderful time playing all around the place. winter is the best time for kids to enjoy and get exhausted.
One improvement that I would recommend is to have less number of Bday parties at the same time, it was too crowded as there were many parties allocated at same time.

I had one of the worst experiences I’ve had at an establishment in years. I booked online for a specific appointment time. After driving half an hour to get to there, I was told that my jump time couldn’t be honored due to a party that was taking place. I simply just wanted a refund. The initial response was that I would receive an email in a couple of days stating that I would receive a refund. I didn’t want to leave without getting a confirmation for a refund on the spot. When I asked to speak to the owner, he avoided trying to give me my money back and just kept sending the kids at the front desk back and forth with his replies which ultimately ended up causing me to be there for an additional half an hour. It was poor customer service on the owners part as well as poor communication. However, the kids at the front desk handled the situation far better than the owner!!!
