I was worried that being a mobile setup it would not be as good, but you guys really came through! The realistic squad setup and weapons systems available were fantastic, I love that you could arm your team like am actual rifle squad with M4, SAW, and tactical shotgun simulators. Games selections and working with the facilities that we had available was also a nice bonus.

The staff was beyond friendly and gave very clear instructions. The trains were running about 20 minutes behind but the kids were running around, petting animals, playing on the playground. A lot of things to see even in the dark. The train ride was very magical for them. Most legit looking Santa I've seen in a while! Each family (only four cars on the train) had time to take pictures. Free cocoa by the fire, while waiting for the train to come back, was perfect!

Not too long ago I went to a wedding of someone who can best be described as an acquaintance. I was…read morenot expecting to have a great and wonderful time at her wedding - but merely to just show my support for the bride and groom and maybe chit-chat with a friendly face. Other than that - I was planning on planting myself at the bar for the evening. As I was mingling, I wandered over to a part of the reception area where a large crowd had gathered and I could hear the laughter from far away - if THIS is where the good times were, I wanted to be there!! I came upon the ENTIRE wedding party plus their parents and grandparents and siblings and cousins all crowded around tables of props - mustaches, hats, masks, boas, and on and on and on! They were putting the props on and laughing hysterically as photo after photo after photo was taken. OMG what an AMAZING thing to have at your wedding reception!! Of course I had to be a part of it too - I was in at least a dozen photos... I couldn't get enough of it! The Life of the Party Photo Booth gal - Dawn - was amazingly helpful and hilarious.... almost like she was just part of the family too! It's obvious the passion they have for catching those perfect moments and providing images that will last a lifetime. These photos, in my opinion, are just as important as the classic and traditional wedding photos. Life of the Party Photo Booth was so awesome - I would highly recommend them for YOUR wedding... birthday... anniversary party... retirement party... and on and on! Any event where you want the BEST in your family to be brought out in an absolutely, adorably fun way. I wish these photo booths had been popular when I got married - I would've called Life of the Party Photo Booth in a heartbeat!!!! They get 5 stars - only cuz I can't give them 10!!!!!!

I kind of dig REO Town. It's not Old Town, but I like that's it's not trying to be either. It has…read moreits own vibe. Just a quick skip across I-496 from downtown Lansing, the shops, salons, and eateries offer a small town feel as there's just enough walkability/bike access. However, it has plenty of edgy eclectic charm to balance the adjacent park and garden spaces making it an attractive location for many festivals. The anchors of the area include GM's Grand River Assembly Plant. the Board of Water & Light that occupies a former train depot, and several visual and performing arts hubs. The area has seen good BBQ, coffee, craft beer, New American, breakfast, and pizza but longevity continues to be a challenge. Even this month's review, REO Town Clubhouse, has gone through a change over the last 24 months having just been Ellison's Brewing Co. which we reviewed in August of 2023. REO Town Clubhouse took over a massive footprint on S. Washington and benefits from the previous facility upgrade work turning the warehouse into a brewhouse. The transition to the Clubhouse has been nothing short of extraordinary with modern lighting, seating, and décor in abundance. Marketed as an Italian restaurant, pizza shop, event space, and pool hall, REO Town Clubhouse aims to have a lasting place in the area and serve as a new anchor for entertainment. Walking in and you will be immediately taken aback by the sheer vastness. To the left, you'll find the upstairs event space, which is spacious and lovely, as is the main dining room on the first floor. To the right sits the pool hall, which is also quite large offering sharks and beginners alike enough room to run the table. In the middle sits the pizza shop with its rounded stone hearth oven shrouded in beautiful teal tile. What's Uneven? The brunch menu is intriguing, offering many traditional American breakfast items and others with a more Italian flare. I arrived around 11 on a Sunday morning with my much better half and the littlest of my daughters, having seen the brunch service started at 9 AM on REO Town Clubhouse's own social media. We walked into a mostly empty restaurant and a service crew that seemed to be scrambling to find their sea legs as coffee had not yet been brewed and the waitstaff, while very pleasant, reminded me of a team that hadn't yet had their first cup of coffee yet either. The food was also fairly uneven. My Biscuits and Gravy ($15) was quite tasty. The gravy was creamy and savory with notes of black pepper and the biscuits were dense enough to stand up to the gravy but not sit too heavy afterwards. The golden fried potatoes were crispy, and the sausage patties were large and packed with sage flavor. My much better half enjoyed a Bloody Mary ($9) that had a Caprese skewer atop the glass. She also ordered the Sweet Crespelle Crepes ($15) that looked better than they tasted. The lemon curd overpowered the palette, and the Sugar Cured Ham ($4) is an absolute waste of protein and money. Limp and lifeless with not a single hint of sugar to be found nor a streak of a sear on the meat itself. What's Better I met a mentor/friend/colleague for lunch and had a much better experience. We both ordered the Lunch Pasta Combo. The Caesar salads were fresh and plentiful, especially to be part of lunch combos. I had the Spaghetti and Meatballs ($14) and though the crushed tomatoes will never be my favorite, the meatballs were large and packed with layers of garlic, herbs, and parmesan cheese. The pasta was a bit overcooked, but the dish overall was solid. My companion ordered the Chicken Alfredo ($16) and said it was one of the best she'd ever had. Thick and creamy alfredo sauce was a yummy revelation. The chicken was more well done than I typically care for but spot on for her. She wanted me to be sure to relay that she would return at least 17 times. Best Bite The Fried Shrimp ($16) with a Calabrian pepper sauce were very good. The breading on the shrimp had been fried hard enough to withstand the oil and butter-based bath in which they rested. The sauce was tasty and perfectly spicy for lunch.

5 Stars - Take A Shot Photo Booth Made Our East Lansing Graduation Party Unforgettable!…read more We recently had Take A Shot Photo Booth, based in Lansing, Michigan, at my daughter's high school graduation open house held at the Clerical-Technical Union of MSU in East Lansing - and it was absolutely perfect! From start to finish, Angela and Angel were amazing to work with. They brought such great energy, a beautiful photo booth setup, and all the fun props that got our guests laughing and having a great time. Everyone--from teens to grandparents--jumped in for pictures, and we now have so many memorable photos that we'll truly cherish for a lifetime. The quality of the prints was fantastic, the experience was smooth and professional, and it added such a fun element to the celebration. It really helped make the day feel extra special for our daughter. We highly recommend Take A Shot Photo Booth to anyone planning a graduation party, open house, wedding, or special event in Lansing or East Lansing, Michigan. If you want unforgettable memories and incredible service, this is the photo booth company to book!

There was a jazz band that took requests and a cash bar for pretty cheap. My Bloody Mary was $4.50 with well. After lunch we could explore the whole boat, and it's absolutely fabulous. The captain, Chris, is really nice and told us the story of the boat and how they purchased the Detroit one too. I won't ruin the story in case you go, it was really interesting! The manager and chef, Gary, is really nice too. I can't remember the front of the house manager's name, but she was also friendly and I enjoyed talking to her as well. I think it was well worth going!
