Get your family together and chose to do laser tag. For $5.95 you can team up or play against each other to see who gets more zaps on the other players. Maybe even play parents against the kids!

For tiny tots, there is a children’s play area with a slide, carousel, and kid’s arcade games. For $3.95 a day you can safely watch your children here because this area is away from the others.

If you want something sweeter, visit the “Dessert Factory” where you can enjoy pie and a latte while your kids have a flavored drink and a muffin.
They also have 2 restaurants such as the “Boiler Room” which is a sit down steak house and the “Pizza Factory” which might be more kid-friendly. The Pizza Factory has an all you can eat pizza buffet.
All restaurants are close on Sunday and are open until 8 p.m. on weeknights and on Friday and Saturday they stay open an hour later until 9 p.m.
The Fun Factory is a great place for a kid friendly afternoon and evening.
The hours of the games and activities are weekdays from 10 a.m. until 10 p.m. During the weekends, they stay open until midnight. They are unfortunately closed on Sundays. I understand the reasoning of being closed on Sundays, but I think this is the day where families might have the time to spend on outings and they might be losing out on customers during this time.
Also, since the closing times of the restaurants are quite early, especially on the weekdays, people might be deterred in having dinner here.
For this reason, you might try eating first and then maybe playing a game or 2 of bowling or golf and then let your kids tire themselves out in the arcade of play area before heading back home or to the hotel for the evening.
If you try to do every activity, especially with a large family, than you might be spending a lot more money than you think. It might be best to choose only a few things to do on your visit instead of trying to do them all.
