      In love with this place! We had a small birthday party for my 3 year old today. They have bounce houses for big and little kids, a small tot area my 9 month old throughly enjoyed, and big and little kid bowling. I was so happy there were activities for the little kids to play, as I've found a lot of indoor adventure places cater to older kids.

      They also have tons of arcade games, a rock climbing wall, bumper cars and laser tag. Really fun place for families. They also had an extensive food selection, and I was pleasantly surprised with the quality!

      Staff was pleasant and friendly too. All in all a fantastic, family friendly, clean place!

      I took my Grand...Evie here for her friends birthday party.
      There must have been 100 + people there at 1030a on a Saturday morning.

      They started out bowling which she was a little skeptical of at first but once they wheeled in the metal stand and aimed it down the alley at the pins, she couldn't miss and she changed her tune.

      They had lots of video games and physical games they could play and get points/tickets for and then exchange them for prizes.
      Does this sound familiar?

      The kids really like them, parents find them easy so it's a successful formula.

      Bowling adventures with kids! We had a great time bowling. They allow you to make reservations and they have 6 lb bowling balls for kids. We then had to visit the arcade and explore the games. We played Mario Kart and then went to the younger kids area and played a basketball game and enjoyed a car ride. They also had a soft play area and they had bouncy houses for an extra fee. Games are on a swipe card, you have to fill with money at the front desk.

      I didn't realize how much stuff is inside this building . I've been there several times for other reasons but last month I brought my son for a birthday party . It was neat, clean, staff were helpful and the food was decent . We will be back when my son gets a little older to enjoy more stuff .

      The place itself is clean and has the potential to be fun the arcade games are well priced(not the prizes though) the main concern is the ropes course and other additional attractions they are pricey but not very good the employees that were helping us with the ropes course were casually talking about how a kid broke his collarbone on that ropes course which is very scary I looked at the ropes course no supports for the arms even on the wobbly ones I was terrified and I usually don't get scared on these type of things, even the employees are scared of it. Though it's fun I think you should be aware of the un attentiveness to safety at this place.

      This place is a lot of fun for the kids, but complete chaos for a parent. It's super overcrowded and when we went, we paid to play in the arcade and the arcade games were down.

      This place is cool, my family has been before in the past before our son was even a thought. We purchased a Groupon and did bowling (no food or drinks as they didn't look appetizing) which was cool. The place wasn't crowded and it wasn't as smelly as other bowling alleys so we were happy. The shoes were not extremely old and super smelly, we felt lucky to obtain newer looking shoes.

      After bowling, our youngest daughter wanted to rock climb in which she did and it was a fun time for her. I will say that when it's not busy (every time we've been there) the staff aren't ready and available at their post. We nearly had to hunt down a guy to get her prepared to climb.

      FastForward from 2013 to 2016 and we have a toddler son, it was a pleasure to find out that for $5 you can go and jump as long as you want in the various jump houses which is a plus plus for me and popped this review from a 3 to a 4. It's great networking and time to relax and read while out son play around and socialize with other children UNLESS you decide to jump with which I usually do often LoL..

      My kids had a great time at Sports Connection. It was my son's birthday, so we jumped from laser tag to bowling (so the kids could cool off a bit before driving home) and the whole event was lovely. The staff were great with kids and it also wasn't too expensive. Would definitely recommend!
