Pro Tips

- 2.Visit on weekday afternoons (Tuesday-Thursday, 2-5 PM) for the shortest lines and best access to all attractions without birthday party crowds
- 3.Bring socks for everyone,they're required for Laser Tag and it's cheaper than buying them on-site
- 4.The arcade uses a card system rather than tokens, so set spending limits on kids' cards at the counter to avoid surprise costs
- 5.Save the ice cream shop for last as a reward after activities,it helps motivate kids to take turns and share equipment cooperatively
Best Time to Visit
Weekday afternoons (Monday-Thursday, 2-5 PM) offer the best experience with minimal wait times for Laser Tag and bumper boats. Avoid Saturday afternoons when birthday parties peak. Friday and Saturday evenings (after 7 PM) work well for older kids who enjoy the livelier atmosphere without the younger birthday party crowd.
What to Know
Activities are priced individually or you can purchase unlimited wristbands for better value. Parking is available on-site, and while they have an ice cream shop for treats, no full meals are served so plan to eat nearby before or after. Each attraction has different height requirements, especially for bumper boats.
Seasonal Notes
Open year-round with consistent hours. Bumper boats may occasionally close during winter months for maintenance or cold weather. Summer weekdays offer great value with fewer crowds despite being peak season. Check their website for special holiday hours around major holidays like Thanksgiving and Christmas.

Showplace Icon and The Plant Shopping Center are nearby with family-friendly options including Mendocino Farms (healthy sandwiches and salads kids enjoy) and Amici's East Coast Pizzeria (just a few minutes away on El Camino Real). For quick bites, In-N-Out Burger is less than a mile away.
