Adventure Park — Attraction in Visalia

Cons - We had our son's 6th birthday there, we were offered to upgrade to unlimited premium games so we did for my husband, son and nephew it was 60$ BUT the place was packed they only did laser tag once which was already included in our original party package. I'm pretty salty about it. I did a little research and saw the birthday kid can do a ball pit type game. Asked our hostess she said "Oh yeah it's by the entrance you can do it on your way out to get a prize" This is BAD advice. We had used all our game currency and turned in our tickets for prizes, THEN went to that ball pit... Where guess what the prize was MORE tickets and game currency!! Wish we had did that at the START not the END. We just took it home since we were on our way out. While cleaning up the party I started to take my son's gifts to the car while he was out playing with my husband I ended up making a total of FIVE trips back and fourth ON my last run to the car my hostess was like "Oh we have carts that you can load all your stuff on! Want one?" LMAO uh NO I am already on my last go! The front desk lady saw me going in and out though why didn't she say anything she's just standing there.

Pros - Easiest party because everything is done, gift bags - cupcakes - food - then games! Worth the price, except for upgrading (don't do it if it's busy) The hostess WAS nice, even if she didn't offer me everything she was helpful and friendly and nice which I...

3 stars. Skeptical of the little kids claw game design… The claw is designed to close unusually quickly (like snap quickly closed) which makes winning less likely. At $1 a game to play for little kids… I don’t think that’s cool at all, it’s a kids game and the toys inside are probably 25 cents to buy in bulk. Make the claw close at a reasonable speed and it becomes more fair and reasonable in my estimation. My 7 year old wanted to win a simple 25 cent plastic figurine and after $3 it became clear that the unusually fast snapping of claw makes picking up a piece that much more random / less likely than if it were to shut in a normal manner.

Her and I have played many claw games over the years and we specifically look closely to exam the mechanism/behavior of the claw, to see if its consistent in how it works, how it snaps close, etc etc. Sharing this so people are aware of our experience and you use your hard earned money wisely in how you want to enjoy the arcade / park.

Otherwise, 5 stars for the cleanliness, friendliness of the staff, variety of games available, etc. Solid experience. Oh and one other really nice feature is the online (web-based) ability to refill your play card. Love that feature and very cutting edge.

We have been to Adventure Park many times. It's a nice family fun place. Our last visit was in 2021 after Covid, and the cost of attractions was reasonable. However, this time, the water park cost $30 per person, which was expensive. Today, in celebration of July 4th, they offered an unlimited band for $10 for the first 300 locals with ID, but unfortunately, we couldn't avail of that offer. So, we paid full price for the water park and other activities.

Secondly, while buying tickets for go-karts, the team member told us to get a ticket for my 2-year-old (38”) to accompany me, but that was wrong. The minimum height for a kid to sit with a parent is 40”. So, they didn't allow us to ride.

The facility, service, and atmosphere are excellent and well-maintained. The in-house cafeteria offers multiple snacks and pizza combinations, but it's pricey. Today, I experienced a long delay for fries and nuggets, but the customer service was concerned that I was waiting with a kid for almost 20 minutes and offered the order free of charge. I really appreciate the person who went above and beyond to address my concerns - thank you!

Overall, it's an excellent one-day visit for kids and adults. It's pricey, but worth trying out. Nobody will be...
