I just do not think it is worth paying 300 for a college student that doesn't want you there and more interested in their phone and not actually creating an experience and more. My daughter was sad and said she never wanted to go back.

All in all it was a fun night and we will go back for the experience again!

I didn't have high expectations, but I ended up enjoying it along with my two pre-teen daughters. Got my butt whipped by my little brother in mini golf. Watched my youngest win more tickets than she knew what to spend on. She ended up with candy. Lol. We all had a blast in laser tag. It sucked that my younger nieces were not tall enough for it, but next time maybe! My crew had a blast in bowling. For three pairs of shoe rentals, I paid $16.08. They ordered so much food and drinks. I had a double shot of whiskey in honor of Charlie Kirk who had recently been killed. Later I brought the strike wrath upon my brother as payback for all the holes-in-one he had in golf. The restrooms were not super clean. The parking was free and easy. I recommend a fun card for the kids. They can swipe and go at each game plus view their balance easily. Keep the card because it saves you $3 per card with activation. I think I put $51 on each card.

My entire family is suffering from food poisoning because of plate of sliders and a bowl of pasta with some shrimp in it. I would definitely not come back it was awful. Well the games and the arcade is very very fun. I enjoyed it much, but I would come to play not eat.

Oh, you must be thinking of that thing, no, not that, but club-hopping. Haha! Yeah, everyone always tells me that Lubbock is boring, but it's only boring to the students who don't know how to have fun with limited means. Lubbock is exciting in its own personal way that it doesn't need to be compared to other cities for recognition. The Garden is like that in a sense, it has a laid-back atmosphere, no other club in the area is like it. On Saturday mornings during the Farmers Market, it is a nice chill spot to get out of the sun. Drink mimosas and a food truck on sight that sells breakfast burritos. At night, this place is great! A live band, food trucks, open bar, patio games, and picnic tables. Yeah, it's relaxed. Oh, and the music they play reminds me of my high school and younger days when I adored the rock alternative genre. My friends aren't fans of The Garden due to the music, but I don't care, I enjoyed my experience. I can't wait to go back!

That never happened. I didn't take the opportunity to go to Stars & Stripes in Lubbock while I was a student as much as I should have, and after this visit, I feel regretful. My girlfriend and I took a trip to go see Backrooms at her request. The night we went wasn't a double feature night (some nights they show two movies back to back which I highly recommend), but I don't know if we would've stayed awake for two flicks! As showtime nears, the line to get in grows, so make sure to get there early to park in the best spots. We got to the theater about 10 minutes before showtime which gave us plenty of time to park our car, use the bathroom inside their retro-themed diner/concession stand, and order some snacks. For less than the price of a popcorn and two drinks at your standard theater, we got a popcorn, candy, a hot dog, a soda, and fried pickles. Their food is a typical concession stand affair. I wasn't blown away by anything, but it was all EXACTLY what I expected. The sun took its time to go down so by the time the movie started, it was a little dim due to it not being nautical twilight yet, but as the movie progressed, it was easier to see. You have a station to tune into for each movie, and it's slightly lo-fi and missed a little low end compared to a typical theater's sound system, but it's a drive-in, you gotta make a compromise somewhere. The only true issue was people randomly turning their headlights on mid-movie, blinding everyone nearby. Don't do that. Next time I'm in Lubbock, I hope to make a trip back to the drive-in because it was a cute little experience! RIYL: A little side mission to go see a movie

I never thought lasers could be so entertaining. The Bad: The show is about 30 minutes long and filled with music from the 90's. I guess they don't put out new laser shows like they used to? After sitting through about 15 minutes of the show, things start feeling redundant. Overall: I'd go back to the planetarium to check out the other shows. I hadn't had such a unique visual experience like that since eating some things I shouldn't have eaten.
