Best Time to Visit

Weekday afternoons (11 AM-3 PM) Tuesday through Thursday offer the shortest wait times and a less chaotic atmosphere. Weekend mornings right when they open (10:30 AM Saturday-Sunday) also work well before the lunch rush arrives.

What to Know

Activities are priced individually or available as discounted packages and wristbands. The facility has an on-site restaurant and snack bars, plus ample free parking. Many attractions have height, weight, and age restrictions, so check requirements before purchasing passes for younger children.

Seasonal Notes

Open year-round with extended hours on Friday and Saturday nights (until 1 AM). This is an ideal rainy day or summer heat escape destination. Holiday periods and school breaks tend to be extremely busy, so consider visiting during regular school weeks for a better experience.

Nearby Eats

Buca di Beppo (Italian family-style dining about 2 miles away) and BJ's Restaurant & Brewhouse (casual American fare with a kids menu, less than 2 miles south) are both solid options for post-play meals with hungry kids.
