We have visited Big Kanuna annually for over six years. They have go-carts, bumper boats, and a…read moreminiature golf course. We were last there a few days ago, the week before the 4th of July (2026). We did all three activities. The price for ten tickets (one ticket per ride) is $70. It costs more for ride tickets to buy individually. The go-carts are my favorite (there is a height limit, but there are two cars for a passenger who is under the height limit). The miniature golf course is good, but the bumper boat ride this year was under-filled with water and the was putrid green. The central fountain was turned off. The staff were extreme friendy, but they had only two people for all of the rides (inadequate). Inside, I saw no people in the restaurant and one person selling tickets and managing the ice cream and indoor games. The place seemed to be heading for decline compared to previous years with too few employees and dirty water for the boats. Also, it would be nice for them to offer standard flavors of ice cream (chocolate and vanilla) in addition to the other flavors.

We were camping at the near by state park and needed to escape the heat for a while. I was browsing…read morelocal restaurants and saw a photo of a big pile of wings that looked amazing - right up my alley! Let me tell you, the wings did NOT disappoint!! In fact, they were probably some of the best I've had in a long time! They were good sized, cooked perfectly - fried and then either finished on the grill or under a broiler to give some 'char' flavor. That extra step makes all the difference! I had to ask about the sauce flavors and ended up with the Asian Fusion which was like a mix of teriyaki and sweet chili sauce - very flavorful! They were well tossed and even though there was a pool of sauce at the bottom, I didn't mind one bit! Service was fine -nothing out of the ordinary. I was served a soda that was pretty flat but they checked the CO2 and fixed it right up. The game room looked fun for the kids. I was looking for batting cages but didn't see any - not sure if they still have them? Go karts and Mini golf looked fun too!

I think the food is very good. I love this place. I hear it is going to close. So sad.read more

The owner was there and check on us, personally, numerous times, the waitstaff and bartender made sure all of the girls had drinks and parents had what they wanted.

This review is for the hotel only, and not the casino which is connected to the hotel…read more Hotel has an indoor pool, sauna and a spa which is a plus. There is a small gym and an arcade. A couple of dine-in options plus a Caribou and a nice gift shop. Unfortunately that alone did not get us through and hence the very mid rating. We stayed in a non-smoking room, which smelled of smoke on the first floor. The bedding has the most uncomfortable mattress and pillows around where everyone in our party was complaining about their backs and necks after a 2 night stay. The shower pressure was non-existent and water temp. was lukewarm. Pro tip: There are literal kids working at the 'deck' which is the fast food option within the hotel, overcharged on the first occasion and then the next day, totally fussed our order, so do make sure to check your receipt and hold onto it, as that came handy for us on both occasions.

The coffee shop in the lobby allowed me to get my latte fix in the morning with Caribou coffee. We also took advantage of the golf/hotel discount which got us $20 off golf rounds. Perfect. Nice stay.

I have enjoyed their paninis, heard their burgers are delicious, and their calzones like this taco one with all of the traditional Taco ingredients topped with crushed Doritos are handmade and it shows.
