My cousin and I took our kids to do bowling today around 2pm. We have 6 kids between us ages 10,9,8,6,4&4. They bowled 2 frames the the ball got stuck. We went up to the front desk 3 different times within 20 mins and each time "we'll get to ya" mean while our time was expiring. The 3rd and final time she paused the game. Fast forward another 25 mins of waiting our food arrived and thank God it did (kids were getting restless) . After we finished our food if had enough I seen so many staff members walking by us or not doing anything but standing (which is fine IDC I don't pay them) so I started to complain and loudly and was overheard by the head cool there Shawn H. He walked over right away asked what was going on and he legit walked back fixed the ball gave us our hour back so the kids could bowl. FANTASTIC. The lane next to use lane 5 was also acting up forcing the ppl to come into "our" booth area. Mind you we have 6 kids and us two. They (kaos) thought it was a good idea to move the ppl who where drinking loud and semi vile with their mouths next to us INSTEAD of moving them to a lane that only had adults. So needless to say they bowled one another frame and we left. Now heading out the door again Shawn crossed our path and I expressed my WTHness to him he apologized up and down with a SMILE gave us complementary kaos cards for another time. If it wasn't for him we wouldn't be going back for a while. Also thank you to Xavier too bc he also came RUNNING over to see if we had been tended to. All and all I do love this place but it needs maybe better management or something bc damn ya got ONE girl working the counter and countless others doing...well idk holding down the floor looking just as confused...
Read moreMostly, I love this place because my son loves it, but there are a few details I'll talk about that probably never crossed his mind. I'll get the only negative one out of the way right off the bat: We went to Fly World, the section of the Fun Zone that's dedicated to trampolines. There's no ATM in there, to get cash so the kiddos can play video games. I was told that the ATM is located next to the bowling alley, which I had absolutely no success at locating. Not a huge deal for most folks, but my son has autism and he gets fixated on the things he likes and wants... when I had to tell him that he couldn't play the racing game, he got pretty bummed.
Fortunately, it didn't ruin the entire visit. He had a blast jumping on the trampolines, he got his favorite candy bar at the snack bar, and he got a pretty cool t-shirt with the Fly World logo on it!
What I LOVE about Fly World is that you only pay admission if you're going to be bouncing! Parents who want to do nothing more than observe, take pictures, etc., get to come in at no cost (who can't appreciate a fair deal like THAT these days??). If you're a manager at the facility and you happen to be reading this, please know that this policy is very much appreciated.
If I weren't on a fixed income, I'd be bringing my son here much more often. But, as it stands, the rarity of our visits makes them all the more special. You can be sure that we...
Read moreThis is a wonderful place to take the kids. If the kids are not older than 8 years old the best time to go is Saturday morning at 10 a.m. when they jump and the socks are included for free all for $10. If you have young kids that is awesome the hour because it will not be full of larger have your kids that they could run into. The dodgeball games at that hour or full of 567 year old throwing very soft balls at each other and all having a ton of fun. Parents are allowed to jump with them during this "Little Flyers" time.
Nothing too fancy in the food area but like any kids place it does have a snack bar it can meet the hunger needs of your kids while you're there.
There are great observation areas of her parents that could either be right beside the net next to one of the DodgeBall areas or in an elevated viewing area that can easily observe the entire space your kids are jumping.
Every weekend we are not otherwise committed my kids are anxiously asking if we can go back...
