3 reviews for Magic Mountain Fun Center East
Went here for mini golf, one of the most pathetic places I've played. Water features are over run by pond scum, muck and algae, pretty gross and mosquito infested.
Also, $7 per person for 18 holes is crap, especially since there were wait times for people to finish their play, and the confusing sales system took us 15 minutes to figure out you had to purchase mini golf,,, from the snack bar...
I hope their north columbus location is better, sure as hell wont be going back here anytime soon.

A while back, Greg and I had the pleasure of entertaining his two little cousins Jack and Andrew, ages eight and thirteen. They were in town from Arizona sans parents for two weeks. We were constantly looking for things to do to keep them busy and prevent them from arguing with each other. One of our most successful outings was to Magic Mountain Fun Center East.
It was sunny when we got there and began our round of miniature golf. But, this is Ohio, and within an hour the sun gave way to a gray sky and a torrential downpour. That didn't stop us from finishing our game. We were soaked to the bone, but with no lightning, we didn't feel we were at risk. The rain soaked the carpeted greens and hampered my game a bit. I had quite the lead before it started, but by the last hole, Greg suckered me by three strokes.
Back inside, we munched on pizza then geared up for arcade games. We played the classics like pinball and air hockey, then got a little more competitive on the interactive racing horses. Greg and I mounted the artificial stallions and jumped up and down working up a gallop until my calves nearly fell out of my legs. Needless to say, I lost the race. Meanwhile, Jack and Andrew were exchanging their tickets with some slightly disgruntled employees for sticky hands, which they later flung at each other until another fight ensued.
Also at the fun center were an indoor playland for kids, batting cages, and separate go-cart tracks for both adult and pint size drivers 48-58" tall. Greg and I decided to save those activities for next year's visit from the kids. Once we've tried everything at Magic Mountain East, we may have to upgrade to the Polaris center to test out the bumper boats and the laser tag arena.

Although it's still Magic Mountain, it wasn't quite the same as Polaris. Believe it or not, I think I liked the mini golf at East better. It wasn't prettier or had cooler decorations or more challenging holes, it was something about the set up. Call me crazy, but at least it seemed like it. The only difference is there are a few things missing from this one. There's no buffet and as had been mentioned, the laser tag and bumper boats.
