    Seating / beach is all under the bridge. Swim out toward the boats for snorkeling & diving.
    Amber Elizabeth M.

    Thanks to the bartender at The Brass Tap (Boynton Beach) for the heads up! While this is almost a 30 minute drive from where I'm staying, it's worth every minute. First up - Parking is free at Phil Foster Memorial Park for cars. Of the beaches I've visited, this is the first one I've found with free parking. (be sure to check before you come in case it's changed) Per Laura W - I got the same tip - Check the tides for best visibility. The best times for snorkeling/diving are the 30 minutes prior to and after high tide. You can find schedules online easily. I can't speak to the clear waters at the Keys or otherwise, but for an excursion that costs zero dollars (if you already have a mask and snorkel or the few bucks to rent one) I don't mind that the water isn't 100% clear. Hello, it's mother nature, not a theme park. In addition -- make sure you're at the park prior to that half hour or you'll be hurting for parking. Everyone seems to know the same secret! I got there a little "late" once and had to circle a few times. I can't speak to weekends -- I only went on week days. While you'll see a lot of divers, all that you need to see fish is a mask and snorkel. Fins are helpful, especially if you want to dive under and get a closer look at the fish. Divers and some snorkelers have flags since the swim area is right near where the boats go so that helped me find where to head to look for the trail, but I didn't have one. Use caution, but going around high tide helps ensure that their isn't too much water current. I saw people of all ages enjoying the sights! Sights: I saw a tons of tropical fish! I couldn't even count the types of fish I saw at this point. I also spotted star fish, a spotted ray, crabs, snails, and more fish! Some of the fish swim pretty close which was really awesome. Under water there is a man made "Snorkel Trail" where items have been purposely placed to create a refuge for the fish and a sight for the humans. It was a project completed by the community/city. (be sure to read about it!) One of the most conflicting parts I saw were sunken grocery carts. It was saddening to me to see our discarded trash on the floor of the water, but the fish had adapted and were making homes of it just as they were the artificial reefs that were placed around the same time. Also there were two sunken boats, a few cinder block towers (with an Eagle Scout plaque) and some cool hammer head statues. The beach area where you enter the water is under the bridge so nearly the entire beach area is shaded. This is great for children, people sensitive to the sun or anyone looking to escape So Florida heat for a bit. There are tables, bbqs and pavilions for use. I haven't (and probably won't) been on a weekend, but during the week in July there have been tables and bbqs available in the late afternoon. Plus great views all around! Also, right around the corner from snorkeling... a fishing pier. Ha! Ps: Sorry to all those with a Go-pro filming that got a glimpse of my white belly in the background as I dove down into your shot. Whoops!

    Diving time !!!

    Blue heron foster park is an amazing place for anyone who is up for an adventure ! It's a great place for snorkeling or diving. I have done both and both experience is completely different on the same trail. Of course both experience was just as great. The trail lines up along the beach, not too far out and not too deep. There are all sorts of sea life to see and if your snorkeling, you can still dive down to the coral or man made sites with shopping carts and statues. There is even a sunken boat that you can dive down if your snorkeling. It's about 11ft deep, but be aware there are deeper pockets on this trail. If your a diver, the bridge part is amazing! Full of wild sea life under that bridge with another sunken boat that became a home for many sea creatures. It's definitely much deeper than the trail, we got to about 38ft today. Diving the trail itself was so different than snorkeling, in a sense where we actually saw it from below versus above. Seeing the fishes up close and personal was so much better than free diving down when you snorkle. We have seen sting rays to star fishes at this dive site. They do offer gear rental here, which I definitely won't use them if you can help bringing your own. It's quite expensive to rent, we should know when we forgot our snorkle gears one time. Great convenience for when issues like this happen, but try to avoid if you can. The biggest tip I can suggest with this park, BRING FOOD OR SNACKS !!! There are no vending machines for drinks or snacks anywhere in site at this park... no food trucks or cafe either!

Lots to do eat and see and they are okay with outside food with lots of picnic areas. We did the giraffe painting premium experience which was worth it since it also includes admission into the park. We ordered salads and burgers from their inside restaurant connected to the gift shop. Ordering from their kiosk is very easy and the food rang on a buzzer in good time. We loved the lorikeet area and paid $3 for the juice to feed the lorikeets (card only, no cash). There is a nice water park area for the kids. The best time to see all the animals is in the morning when they open, that's when they get fed and you're most likely going to have an animal walk in front of your car, so cool!

    We came back to do the safari. You are able to drive through slowly. You are told not to open…read morewindows and doors as it's not safe to do so with wild animals. The animals are super hot and they are resting in the shade. They have a giraffe interaction area. There's also a little splash area for kids and a merry go round. Rates to enter the park are $55 pp and no senior discounts. The animals always have the right of way. After the safari there is quite a bit of walking. You may want to bring a wheelchair for older ones. You can visit the food area and gift shop to take home a stuffed animal and the area has air conditioning to help you cool down.

You'd think a big splash pad in the middle of PBG would be open Monday - Sunday with decent hours. It really doesn't make sense. Please change your hours so me and I'm sure a lot of other families can come and enjoy the aquatic center!!!!

    I normally don't leave reviews, but this experience was frustrating enough that I feel others…read moreshould know. I signed up for adult private swim lessons, paying $225 for what was supposed to be personalized instruction to improve my stroke and breathing. What I got was one unstructured session in the kiddie pool--just swimming back and forth with no technique correction, no feedback, nothing. It felt like the instructor had no idea what to do. When I brought this up, I was told the training manager would attend a future lesson to train the instructor during my session. That's not acceptable. I didn't sign up to pay for someone else's training session--I signed up for my lesson. Even worse, I found out the training manager had already been watching the original lesson and allowed it to happen that way. So how is anything going to improve? I asked to cancel and get a refund, and was told flat-out "no" due to policy--no apology, no ownership, no attempt to make things right. Also worth noting: the reception staff was rude and unwelcoming when I arrived, which set a bad tone from the start. I can't recommend this place for adult swim lessons. Between the lack of professionalism, poor instruction, and dismissive customer service, I left completely disappointed.

    I'm a female, (58 yrs old) and my husband (62 yrs old) were hosting my best friend who was visiting…read moreus for two weeks. (she is the same age as me). I had made a list of things/activities for us to do while she was here and I put Xtreme Action Park on the list. Honestly, I did not think anyone would want to go. But, we woke up one day and decided to just hop over there because it wasn't far from our house. It was around noon on a Wednesday and we almost had the place all to ourselves! When we walked in, we were astonished at how huge this place was! It has indoor go kart racing and I'm not talking the slow, kiddie ones either! These go karts went very fast and it was a very large and curvy track. They also had a huge skating rink, an entire 18 hole, miniature golf room, a huge trampoline room, an obstacle course that hung from the ceiling, virtual reality games and experiences, a ton of standard arcade games as well as a restaurant and bar. (they had so much that I'm probably forgetting something important!) We had the time of our lives! We killed zombies and road motorcycles and battled pirates, laughing, screaming, and yelling the entire time like three little kids. We stopped for a while and went to the bar and ordered nachos and Mojitos. The nachos were delicious (they were actually the best nachos I ever had! ) and they made a special Mojito that was also very good. After we ate and had a couple of drinks, we went back to playing arcade games. Before we got a chance to even do anything else we realized we had been there for five hours! By the time we left, it was getting very busy and we were exhausted but on top of the world. We had so much fun running around that place, each of us addicted to a different arcade game. We left with credits still on our cards so I am going back soon. Regardless of how old you are, put this on your list of things you want to check out because I promise, you won't regret it.

    First time going last night! I had soooo much fun. Will be coming again. But have some comments!…read more Friday specials were clutch- 2 for 25$. This was a fire deal. Me and my friend did the VR and the mini golf! We also got lots of arcade credits to play the games. The VR was fun but I didn't like that they didn't clean the goggles (at least I didn't see) after someone playing. That is gross lol. I went and washed my face after. One of the VR rides was broken so I couldn't do it with my friend. The shooting one was a lot more fun than the SpongeBob. The mini golf was cute- it's mini golf lol! We got fries, Red Bull, and blue slush. The prices weren't bad! I was expecting more. Overall fun- kinda loud and busy. But I had a good time. Wish I took photos , next time ;)

    What a cool concept this place has!…read more It was my first time visiting and the kids all had a blast, adults did too. It's all retro arcade games! Endless play and fun. We got the family pass and were able to leave, have dinner and come back for more play time. They do have a bar area and you can order food and drinks. Service was good upon checking in, as well as the bar area. If you find yourself near here, totally check it out.

We had planned on going there for games afterward anyway. I didn't play any of the games, but I must say we were VERY impressed with the reception staff, wait staff, and food. They were kind do us and very attentive. There was a lot more on the menu than I had originally thought. I had the Chicken Caesar Wrap with the Jersey fries, and they were both very yummy. The thin-crust pizzas had a great crunch, spicy marinara, good cheese, and a nice char if you like that sort of thing. The kids enjoyed the quesadillas and mozzarella sticks. My husband enjoyed the wings, though he would have liked more sauce. You DO need to pay to park, but that is to be expected in that high-traffic location in Delray. I was surprised it was only $4.75 for two hours. We would definitely return to Silverball if we're in the area and want to grab cocktails and good quality bar food.

My child and her friends had a blast from start to finish…read more Unfortunately, one of the kids did get hurt, but the manager handled the situation exceptionally well. He came over and made sure everything was okay, provided an ice pack, and was very comforting and attentive. That level of care really stood out to me. The facility itself was clean, and the staff was friendly and welcoming. This location did seem a little less busier than the location in Davie however, towards the end of the day, it does pick up a little bit. I also really liked that they offer adult beverages liquor, wine, and canned drinks which gives parents a chance to relax a bit while the kids play. The fun bites were fresh, sweet, and crispy definitely a highlight. They also have Dippin' Dots (one of my favorites), and those did not disappoint. We ordered pizza, chicken tenders, and fries as well those were just okay, nothing special, but the kids enjoyed them. Pricing was reasonable overall. Just note that socks are required and need to be purchased, and jumping is charged by the hour. Some attractions like the zip line and arcade games come with additional fees. I really appreciated the designated area for kids under five it's a safe space where little ones can play without worrying about bigger kids.

    Lots of fun stuff for the kids, but a good chunk of the staff is pretty useless. We had a birthday…read moreparty there, and the host pretty much did nothing. The room wasn't ready when we showed up to decorate. Party plans were made ahead of time, including food purchases, but over half of the stuff we ordered never was made/failed to show up. Waivers were submitted online beforehand by a large number of our guests, but they insist they didn't receive any of them, so everybody had to fill and submit them again (taking away from their play time, which is timed). We had younger kids at the party (10 and under), so we asked to have the pizzas double-cut, into smaller slices... but they refused, and we had to run down the street into the Dollar Tree to get a pizza cutter, to then double cut it ourselves. We ran out of pitchered drinks multiple times, and I had to bring the pitchers back to get refilled, as they pretty much never/barely checked up on us throughout the party. It would have been cheaper and more sensible to go to eat elsewhere either after or beforehand... Maybe just pay regular admission and try bringing a cake, if they'll let you in with it. Having the parents buy their Groupon offer, and then reimbursing them, would have made more sense for a party and saving money.
