My advice is to wear good, sturdy boots. Some of the horses like to go fast, and when you're not properly dressed, it can be a bumpy ride.

I think it's best to book your lessons in advance, especially on weekends. They can get super busy, and I ended up waiting longer than expected!

I recommend taking advantage of their combo deals if you want to do more thn just laser tag. I wish I had tried bowling too; it looked super fun and saves money in the long run!

If you're planning to go on a weekend, try to get there right when they open at 12 PM. We went around 2 PM and had to wait a while for the next available game.

My advice is to wear comfortable shoes. The arena is awesome but quite big, and you’ll be running around a lot. I learned the hard way with my sneakers after a long game!

My advice is to check the weather before going. It can get a bit chilly, so bring a jacket for the outdoor tracks – trust me, you'll thank me later!

I suggest booking your karting session in advance, especially on weekends. It gets super busy, and you don’t wanna miss out on racing just because you didn’t plan ahead!

i think you should try to get an afternoon slot, around 3 pm. the lines were way shorter then, and we had way more fun without the long wait!

My advice is to wear water shoes or flip-flops if you have them. The ground can get super muddy and it’s way easier to clean up afterward

I recommend booking your spot online at least a day in advance to snag a discount and avoid waiting around on-site. It saves a ton of hassle!

I suggest booking your session in advance to secure a spot, especially on weekends. It gets super busy, and walking in might mean waiting longer than expected.
