    Went on a late Valentine's Date with my partner to go kart and axe throw. It wasn't too busy, so no…read morewait times. The staff was friendly, and was accommodating considering we were in about close to closing. The go kart was fun. They gave us a head sock for the helmet and we were off. Small track with big turns but fun. We were given a coupon for a couple drinks. Yes, They have a bar. The VR system was not in use at the moment. They had a gaming area for tickets. And then we went axe throwing for about an hour. The staff was very helpful in teaching us how to throw axe properly. Overall was a good time.

They also offer laser tag, VR, a ropes course, and pickle ball. Walking in, there was a lot of open space. I assume the building was just huge. First we enjoyed the go-karting. This was my first time ever riding in electric go-karts! It was pretty fun and offered some challenge with the twists and turns. Visiting the bar, the manager tended to us. He was super friendly. He even stopped by during our axe throwing to provide me with one-on-one lessons for at least 10 minutes!! (I was terrible at first LOL). Eventually, I was able to hit the board (FINALLY!) even using one hand. Overall, AMP-UP seems like a fun place. I assume, in the warmer seasons, it can even more fun with the pickle ball open and access to the outdoor space might offer more natural light into the building. The staff were great, informative, and helpful. Thanks AMP-UP!

    We went to the family fun center when they opened at noon on the Friday (probably the last early…read moreFriday of the summer schedule), after most kids went back to school, so basically had the whole place to ourselves except for the bowling area. Having no lines for anything was wonderful. The prices for the activities were decent if you paid for the 4 hour pass. Our family went on the go karts, bounce houses, laser tag, bumper boats. We also paid extra to put money on arcade cards to play some games. I thought there was mini golf, but we didn't see it. Some things to note, if you are tall enough to drive the go karts, you cannot go on the bounce houses, however, you can go on the wipeout activity. Also, if you are under the age of three, you cannot go on the bounce houses or do anything at all except for arcade games and the little mini children's area with the free bounce house. I thought the prices for the food and drinks were a little pricey, especially the drinks because they are not refillable. You cannot bring outside food or drinks in and your kids will get thirsty going on the bounce houses. Also, allow for extra time because as soon as you get there, you need to fill out a waiver for every single person in your party even even if they are not doing anything, the kids were able to be on one waiver but you still have to fill out the information for each child which can take time if you have a larger party. One thing that our family did enjoy, was the Christian music playing, and we saw some other Christian verses and such around the establishment. All in all, the kids all had a great time and would want to go back. With the prices, and our large family, it isn't something that we would go back to often, but maybe once a year for some fun.

    Crew is unprofessional & rude. Out-door mini golf is NOT worth the money. It's not kept up with…read morehaving weeds growing all over each hole and water puddles in each hole (drainage is clogged). We also paid for 2 games of bowling. Tried the first game without bumpers and very unmotivated 10&11 year old boys. Let's just say they didn't break 30 points with multiple gutter balls each. I went up to ask the heavier set female worker to put bumpers up and she continued to say we were too old for bumpers. Didn't know there was an age limit?? For such a place to be bought by a church, you'd think the workers would be more friendly and understanding instead of judging others. If I could've rated them ZERO stars, I would've. 10/10 DO NO RECOMMEND!!!

    This is a pretty good dirt race track. This is an fun way to spend an evening…read more I had a good time watching cars pitched sideways around turns ("late models" full sized standard built race sized frames and engines with a recognizable shell bolted on) and then to learn the winner was suppose to be 13! That was a shocker (not just to me) http://www.bobbypierceracing.com/ The smaller series have 4 banger (4 cylinders or "for banging" into each other is the question). Overall the experience of watching an all out races is great (there is no winning under yellow like Nascar). Plus there are beautiful women who are attracted to adrenaline junkies and the action. The even had a small play equipment for the kids. Bring ear and eye protection and keep your kids away from the fence. Now, where I sat is terrible weathered wood bench stadium seating that would need jeans or cushions for most people. Peeing in a shared oversized urinal that looks like a mix of trough, bathtub and sink is not for everyone. The food is both expensive and not very good, so eat before. Beers are in cans for $2 with Bud reg, light and Select all being present. I do like I-55 more, but this is a good old boy good time.

From the moment we arrived, the ladies in the check in trailer were extremely helpful and added to the overall experience. They took us back to give us the run down of rules, and explain how to drive the car. What to do and how to do it. Even if you have never been in a race car, they will give you more than enough information to make you comfortable getting in and running. It was a very hot day, but we all got in our fire suits, picked out a helmet and got pictures taken by the car we were going to drive. They stuffed ear pieces in the helmets and we were walked through every lap by a team member in the stands. He helped with lap traffic and reminding you to be smooth and controlled when drifting through a corner. I have done several racing schools, Michigan, Gateway, but never ran on dirt. I have to tell you, it is a totally different experience. It was a great time, and all my technicians that won were extremely happy with the program. I would love to do it again, and we may have to set up a little contest for one of my other stores so they can get the same experience. Its a great team building event, no matter what your business is. You should give it a try!

    THE WILD, WILD WEST!…read more Have you ever seen those cowboy showdowns which causes all the townsfolk to leave? That's what it felt like running in St. Louis; an abandoned town when a big event goes on. The folks of St. Louis knew the Rock n Roll series was coming, so they basically fled. There was no activity whatsoever especially for a downtown area, and it was a bit eerie. It's like us runners were a disease. Did St. Louis think we brought Cholera, Measles, or even Typhoid Fever? Remember the game Oregon Trail in elementary school? I guess they took the "You have died of dysentery" memo seriously. Lol In addition to the sense of loneliness, the race was quite boring after the first 3 miles. At the beginning of the race, you run alongside of the Gateway Arch and by Busche Stadium. Beyond that, you are just running down the depressing streets of St. Louis. The only thing missing along the course was tumbleweed. I did see a pizza box rolling around on the street... so close enough. Lol I wish there were more opportunities to run by the arch, and to run inside Bushe Stadium. The next day, the field at Bushe Stadium was gutted so it wouldn't have mattered if runners ran by it, or on it. At the least, the course wasn't difficult. They used to offer a marathon option, but it looks like they did away with that. I heard it was hilly, and if were a little more exciting, I wouldn't have mind. The post-race was also quite uneventful as well. It was in a small, and cramped area at one of the nearby parks. They should have allowed runners to at least celebrate inside Bushe Stadium. We are in downtown, and Bushe Stadium is just right there. Baseball season is over in October, unless you make it to playoffs. The Rock n Roll race in San Diego did that with Petco Park (home of the Padres!) and it was amazing. Plus, it was baseball season, and they had a game in the evening too... so if San Diego can do it, anyone else can do it too. For some reason, the Rock n Roll series holds this race and Denver at the same time. The Rock n Roll series is a big organization, so I don't understand why they have to host 2 races on the same day. Anyway, for 2018 I guess it won't be an issue because St. Louis has been cut. Oh well. Hopefully St. Louis will make it's way back into the Rock n Roll series again... maybe even with Will Smith, Wild-Wild-West style? lol. :) In 2016, if you ran the RnR Chicago, and this race, you were entitled to the Midwest Quest Medal. It spins, and who doesn't love a medal that spins?! :D http://www.runrocknroll.com/chicago/wp-content/sites/20/2016/01/MIDWEST-GIF.gif

Get in early for cheaper registration fees or chexk for groupon deals. The information provided about packet pickup and parking is always so helpful. My group was able to us the map and find parking close that was fairly inexpensive. Keep up the good work.
