Super Happy Fun Land — Attraction in Houston

The exterior is painted with amazing murals and street art. Upon arrival, you immediate know you're in for something unique and different. Then you walk in and realize how unique and different things can really get. Your first words will be something like, "No way this place legally exists". Air conditioning? No, not in here. This place is different. Cleanliness? Absolutely not - not even close. Just play it safe and wear a mask or 2. Need to use the restroom? You should've thought of that earlier, that's on you. Just go outside - it will be a better bathroom experience in every way. There's seating for up to 16 people in what appears to be stolen or abandoned old AMC theater seats bolted to a sheet of plywood. There are a few couches scattered around among the ceiling-high stacks of boxes, crates, and garbage, but sitting on the couches will most definitely cause weeks of itching and the need to burn the clothes you wore. Just stand. And if none of this matters because you're "here for the music", well, I've got some bad news - the sound mixing board is from 1982 (and not in a good, vintage way) and was also last cleaned in 1982. It has fur growing on and in it, and sliding a lever or turning a knob only makes loud static noises come from the speakers and doesn't really do any good. All of the XLR leads are sent to the wrong places. I think the stage monitors were actually set up as microphones? It was hard to work it out because the sound guy didn't show up and it was up to anyone there to figure out the rats nest of the incoherent wiring situation. Thirsty? Again, you should've thought of that earlier. There is a counter with an old refrigerator behind it and the words "BAR" on the wall so you know you're in the right place. The "bartender" stands behind a wooden counter staring directly through your soul. He's not very approachable. Hungry? You got it - should've thought about that earlier. There's a "pizza truck" out back that appears to have broken down sometime circa 2004 and smells like cats have been pissing in it ever since. Not to bash the cats though - they were nice and approachable and willing to accept petting and human interaction, so I gave the...

I’m surprised this place is something that is actually up and running. I came for an event that was hosted by some girl vendors for clothes & they were really sweet but didn’t work at the actual venue. I wanted to leave right away due to the instant stench when I walked in along w the air that felt instantly dirty & the creepy decorations (don’t know if it’s just like this for spooky season or …. All year round ? & idk I’m a theatre kid but I can not .. it smelled like an old costume room that hasn’t been cleaned in years .) but I didn’t leave because it was a far drive , and the vendors that were there for the event were nice , so I tried to stay positive. The one actual worker who was there from the actual venue (working at the bar) was quite passive. The female restroom was absolutely horrid (nasty, dusty, felt like no one had been in for years) & I was terrified when I was thinking of using the restroom because there were spider webs everywhere … (a little more real looking than your typical Halloween decorations … ) … on top of that, the female restroom is right next to the back exit where people seem to just be able to come in & out & some intoxicated people (including men) would accidentally walk into the open female restroom w no door. When I passed the male restroom on the way back, I noticed (they also had no closed door) that their restroom actually looked clean, from where I was.

All in all… It was a very … interesting experience. I think I was terrified, but the girls all had a similar experience … so we were just sweating and accepting it together … (I’m sure other reviews have mentioned the no AC). So, I think I would go back…. if I wanted to experience a haunted house but make it real. (I’m still scared - like was that a joke? Was this building just...

Great venue! I saw Hank Green and the Perfect Strangers here and the staff are super friendly, the environment is great, and it's very kid-friendly. There are couches all around the sides of the floor for when you realize you've been rocking too hard and need to sit down for a moment, complete with pillows and blankets for added comfort. The space can get a bit warm and humid, as one might expect, but there's a deck situated to the left of the stage where you can take a breather and come back in when you want to without missing any of your favorite artist's songs. The drinks are reasonably priced—as in, $.75 - $1 for a can of soda—which is insane, given the fact that it's a relatively popular venue. Also, water is absolutely free if you get it from the cooler opposite the drink station. You can even get butterbeer, if you're so inclined (though I can't remember if a non-alcoholic version is available).

The atmosphere is great, food and drinks are ridiculously cheap for a venue, and the staff is friendly and helpful. What more...
