This place is great fun for the young and the brave. My youngest loooved the go carts. My teen daughter convinced me (her dad) to go on the tallest reverse bungee in the world. Holy cow...terrifying, exhilarating, and well worth it. She thought it was the best thing ever lol

Fun and terror all in one! Ron, Trip Advisor.

What was your favourite part of the experience ? My favorite part was that my nieces & nephews & myself enjoyed the gravity park . It's small but it does the job . They just love all the activities they have there: like the rides and the golf course . Especially the car racing ride they love that one the most .

Gravity Park fun. delgadillomary, Trip Advisor.

Miniature golf was so much fun! The go carts were unbelievable - turns & twists, climbing, and ramps down!

An awesome time! Kat G, Trip Advisor.
