BEWARE!!!!! Wyoming valley sports dome is a FRAUD!!!! We attended an 11-U youth baseball tournament at this facility and it was a nightmare. When we arrived it was bitter cold outside and not much warmer inside. When we questioned the owner about how cold it was inside he informed us that the adult league playing in front of us did not pay the extra 2$ per player to turn the heat on. Therefore the heat would not be turned on until prior to our boys starting. He told us tell your parents to dress warm and bring blankets. Just prior to the 2nd game starting the heaters began pumping cold air into the dome and the owners could not be found anywhere in the complex. Once games began and everyone was inside a parent from another team came into the dome and informed everyone that someone came through the parking lot and smashed windows of many cars and robbed parents of their belongings. When we asked to talk to the owner for some help we were informed they were not there because they went out to dinner. When they returned they were no help at all. they simply left the parents outside in the bitter cold to wait for local police. They mentioned this never happened before. Ironically when local police arrived they informed the parents that this type of thing happened multiple times at this facility. The owner was rude and would not even give parents any information. If you are a team looking to play inside save your 800 dollars and book your games at the Pocono dome not far away. The owners seemed more concerned about stopping parents from bringing food into the dome and how many people were in the dugouts than helping people that were robbed of their belongings. Each team paid over 700 dollars to play there. An absolute disgrace!!!! A simple sign on the front door next to the "NO OUTSIDE FOOD or coolers" warning parents to secure belongings would have...
Read moreThis was my first visit for a one day girls 16u/18u softball tourney. It's a functional facility. Two games can be played at once, but foul balls in play are a constant threat due to proximity. A short net hung from the ceiling was all that separated the games and the lighting was adequate. There wasn't much room for other teams to warmup in (one team even went out in the parking lot to find space). If you're not paying attention, you can easily wander onto the field of play. The 'turf' is a kind of carpet with some padding underneath, not very forgiving. My daughter cut up her lip while sliding head first towards a bag. Other teammates had rug burn and a kind of filth on their batting gloves from the surface. There's some short bleachers for spectators, but they're all on one side. Bring your own chair if you want comfort. The snack area is standard with the usual selections and the prices are decent. You can also find multiple fast food joints and restaurants within 10 minutes if you need something more substantial. There's a good amount of tables to sit at, plus a TV and projector TV set to sports. A small arcade area is adjacent to the bathrooms, which were pretty clean and clearly maintained. The staff is friendly and helpful The late start times (first game at 5pm) led to the championship game not beginning until after midnight. Make arrangements to stay overnight if you travel far to attend. Overall, it serves the purpose of hosting an event for teams to travel to...
Read moreThe FEW bounce houses they do have are HORRIBLE! For starters the bounce house are filthy! Then I don't know if the pumps are too small or if they need to be replaced, but they suck to the point where when my daughter was in any of the indoor houses (I'll get to their "outdoor" bounce houses in a second) her feet were literally touching the floor underneath the house. It was ridiculous how little air was in those things. As far as the outside bounce houses go, I'm not going to lie, they have a pretty nice size slide that not only my 3 year old daughter but I myself enjoyed sliding down with her. However the other bounce house out back there suffers from the same issues dealing with lack of air that plague it's indoor counterparts. All and all I'm going to say I won't ever be returning here again with my daughter. If you are in the Wilkes-Barre/Kingston are and want a good bounce house location though, check out "Super Bounce". It's a new place on Wyoming Ave all the way up in the same plaza as the price chopper going towards Pittston. Super Bounce has alot more houses inside, is clean, and has stuff for all kids ranging in age from just starting to walk all the way up to I've seen kids around 8-10 years old. So yes check out...
