    There were a lot of positives about this place. There was a lot to do on a sunny day. We enjoyed looking around at all of the rides. I did see many I would love to try, I am a power tower, zip line, and roller coaster fan. They had some yummy looking food choices and a nice bar plus food trucks outside. They had a nice assortment of games and claw machines, a tiny bowling area, and a cute tiny power tower on the inside. The people working the counter seemed nice and efficient. They have security out front, which I suppose it good, most amusement parks do have security, but it is also a tad bit worrisome about what kind of behavior could go on here. We just want to have a good time. We did not have the kids, so we just wanted to try a ride before we committed to a day pass. We did the Indy Sky Track. Some of the rules stated no bumping and that people who did would get warnings. I was bumped several times by the same people, and there were multiple staff all of the track and never said anything. Some people were driving rough, into others and crashing into the tires. I did have a good time, and I do go on bumper cars at other amusement parks, but I did not appreciate getting rear ended. I liked the track and would probably come back with the kids, but I would only come early as I did. The lines were already long and it was already very crowded, so I can only imagine that it gets more crowded toward the night.

    Very nice amusement park to spend the day with the family, the wait on each attraction is less than 10 min so was a lot of fun.

    purse not allowed

    Security is a joke, allows some people to come in with bags and not others. Every thing is up to the 3rd party security company which is absolute joke. Can't bring in a purse with an epi pen but teenage girls can have bags twice the size...When you ask them about why that is they get defensive because they pick and choose. no other reason, watched other people get in with bags. wouldnt recommend going here since they pick and choose who can bring bags i wouldn't be surprised if this allowed people to bring unsafe items in. Will not be back. Management just passed off the issue and took no responsibility.

    In the cue for go karts.  Like being a kid again.

    We came here as part of a buddy trip. We saw the new multi level course and had to race it. 4 grown professional men living our childhood fun. Didn't even do other events here. Just races for hours. If you are going to be here for more than 3 hours get the $50 bracelet. It pays for itself. We had lunch here. Nothing amazing, but the chicken tenders were above average. Beer was cold, but the glasses weren't. Super busy hot day though. I'd come back with the boys!

    This is a cool spot! We arrived right at opening on a weekday and it wasn't too busy! I purchased wrist bands for the kids and got a $50 fun card on Groupon. The fun card allows you to ride the attractions and play games. It was a great deal for me because I only wanted to do a few things. It was hot outside, but we had a blast. There are 3 different go kart tracks. The biggest one is all the way in the back by the rollercoaster and zip line. I hate that we didn't realize that until later. The water bumpers were fun and the zip line was nice but the line moved so slow. I think it was worth it though. There's a heavy security presence here which is great! There's plenty of seating and eating throughout, so this would be a nice place for family gatherings. I highly recommend!

    Private room set up for birthday  and pizzas.

    Took my son here for his birthday. Rented out a room and ordered four pizzas with wings and a big salad with drinks the waitress who was directly there to help our party was super nice I enjoyed everything. The package came with ten wrist bands for the kids to ride all rides and I bought some extra game cards for them to enjoy the arcade. My son and his friends and family enjoyed themselves and had a all around fun time. I was very happy with the experience worth every penny.

    This is a pretty nice place especially if you like go karts! There is an upstairs and downstairs gaming area! Food vendors and kitchen inside! Games for all ages! This was first time here and will be returning on my next visit. I

    i took this shot when i got on the very first ride when you go outside.

    always a good time. just don't bring your marijuana vape because they won't allow that in. but if it's other vapes like breezes, then they'll allow that. security does their job and that's all that matters and as long as you allow them to, it's good. just remember to take off your apple watch, or any, so it doesn't beep when you walk through that metal scanner. i know this place is often packed with older kids and young adults, but even if you're the couch generation, just remember to not drink and act crazy. i've seen older, more mature adults who seems a bit intoxicated that can't seem to hold it a bit together. i'm only saying this because i have my kids with me and we all want to have an enjoyable time with whoever we are out with. be mindful of others around you. you can buy tap beer but you can only drink it at the patio or inside. i'm not sure if you're allowed to take your drink with you around the park but i've seen other adults do it. so maybe? i didn't though because i choose to sit and drink rather than walking when there's kids around. this place is a gem as long as you know how to keep it safe and fun for not only yourself but for everyone else as well. it's always clean. not being dramatic. and love that all the rides and activities are open for you on open days but depending on the hour of the open day, some food trucks are closed and that's a bummer. if you are a night life person, come around 6-8pm. they have their lights on with their rides and it feels magical. and the weather if it's perfect, it's a happy time. that is if you have good company too. just sucks that it's expensive but you can buy credit on a card and you can use that for the indoor arcade or rides outside. :) but i suggest just buying the wrist band. you'll save more $$ if you intend to go do a bit of everything. also, i recommend the dirty blonde drink from the bar. last but not least, they have birthday party areas that you can reserve for your kiddos birthday, or anyone for that matter. so if you have a child, or child adult (LOL), and they love arcades and going on rides, this is the place.

    Ask the Community - CJ Barrymore’s

    Is there a smoking section?

    Yes outdoors across from the batting cages

    Is there anything for my 4 (closer to 5) year old can do while his older siblings ride the rides?

    Yes!! There is Putt-Putt golf, video games in the arcade, you can take him on the go karts and water bumper boats, and there's bowling. Kids of all ages love it here!

    Can you drop 13 y/o off?

    No, minors (max. 6) must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian at all times. There are no drop offs permitted.

    Is there anything not included with the ticket price? When is the best month/season,day, time to visit?

    Call 586 469 2800 for details. To experience all attractions (and nice weather!) I recommend late spring through early fall. Earlier in the day is best to avoid the late afternoon and evening crowds. The cooler the weather, the less crowded. That's… 

    How can I get in touch with the GM or owner to file a complaint?

    Sorry to not get back to you sooner Tyler. To file a complaint, please email mail@cjbarrymores.com. Thank you, Annie

    No, we have a fully stocked bar and serve wine and beer too.

    How much is the cj barrymores day pass wristband?

    The Wristbands are available on holiday weekends only and are $26 per person, per session, per day. The next wristband special will be Memorial Day Weekend - Friday, May 26th - Monday, 29th 2017. There are 2 sessions each day 11am -4pm and 5pm-10pm.…

    After what happened last time, the last thing I expected was to get a message from someone. I was…read morecontacted by Vickie in my Yelp messages, and she left her contact information. I was shocked and confused, but I decided to call her anyway. She wanted to talk about what had happened and listen to my experience. She profusely apologized for what had happened and assured me that this was not how they ever treat customers. She was unsure why things were handled the way they were. Talking to Vickie was amazing, she made me feel like they actually cared about their customers. At first, I felt like they didn't care about lost business. Vickie told me that they were very sorry for what happened and that they would have a meeting with the supervisor on this past Friday with the proprietor, another supervisor, and herself. They would reflect on what happened and discuss the situation, and ensure that it will never happen again. I was shocked to hear that they took what I said so seriously. She understood that I may not want to return but offered a chance of redemption with a gift certificate so we wouldn't have to pay. I told Vickie that we were willing to give them a second chance. In the mail I received a note from Vickie, along with a gift certificate. We decided that we would use it on Thirsty Thursday with the same group as last time. She asked me to call her when we decided to come in so that she could meet us. I honestly forgot because it had been over a week. I did call her, but she had just left and got to the office. We completely understood and she told us to have a good time. Vickie is perfect with customer service and amazing at making connections with customers. We felt like she cared about us and what had happened. When we got to Shelby Lanes, we came early and got on the waiting list. We decided to get some drinks while we waited. Finally, our names were called by the supervisor from the incident. He asked us how many people were bowling and if we needed shoe rentals. He told us what lane we were in as well. He seemed much nicer. He then said something I did not expect. He asked if I could wait a moment so he could apologize to me. He apologized for how things happened and explained that he did not realize he was coming off as mean. The whole situation was a mess as is, and stressful. He was stressed out and wanted to fix the situation, and said he should have handled it better. He said he was truly sorry for the way we felt and that he should have refunded the shoes. He was caught up in a moment. We accepted his apology, and I was happy to see he really meant it. He seemed genuine. People make mistakes all the time. We were really upset too, but everyone deserves a second chance. We ended up getting a pitcher or beer and pop, then later another beer pitcher. We had a blast. We were having fun joking around and egging each other on. I decided to watch. It was a little competitive, but more so fun. We actually enjoyed ourselves with no problems. We even talked to the people next to us, and I also ran into a high school friend. When I went to the bar, I got a chance to talk to the lady that was at the counter that day, Celia. She apologized for what happened. She told us that she was really happy to see us. She also saw the review. She explained that she really does love working at Shelby Lanes. I told her we would definetely come back and that I appreciated her trying to help. I was impressed with how the supervisor presented himself. He thanked us for coming in when we were leaving. He high fived us, smiled, and laughed. You could tell that it was all genuine and that he really is a nice guy. I'm happy we gave them another chance.

Lots of machines to choose from, with descriptors and convenient cup holders. Our only caveat, according to my 13yo: "They should have a more advanced card-to-coin machine or card readers on the pinball machines." Agreed--tho it wld put a crimp in the old-timely mystique. I rarely carry cash and I didn't see anywhere in advance (maybe I missed it?) that I needed singles or fives instead of a credit card to get quarters... So come prepared. They do have an ATM machine. (I don't have an ATM card these days, and my debit card wouldn't work.) Next time we'll bring the jingle. PS: There are a few pool tables, too--quarters only.
