    Currently here for a wheelchair basketball tournament. Overall this is an okay facility . I'm…read moregiving three stars because I was informed that unless you are on TEAM USA all other athletes even if they are competing during the tournament hosted by the facility will have to pay an additional fee ($8) to use the gym per day . I think it should be included in the registration price . It's weird to think Steph curry or Lebron James can walk in to this same facility and not be competing and not have to pay to use the gym equipment but a disabled athlete that paid for registration for a tournament and is competing that same weekend does ? Not great for national pride .

    This is a great addition to the Fort Wayne sports venues. The new building is just a few years old…read moreand s a lot to offer to the community other than sporting tournaments. Large private parking lot and a grand entrance that shows off how clean it is. They offer a workout gym with a ton of equipment, a gym that can be transformed into basketball, volleyball courts, gymnastics floor, a track that runs on the outside, pole vaulting, long jump etc that represents the Olympics. There is also a huge pool, concessions stand, upstairs area, nice clean large bathrooms and a very pretty trophy case that is filled with the accomplishments that the teams they represent have won! It's all very cool. We attend volleyball here for our practice and the respondent is well maintained, always where we put it, labeled for what court they should be set up on and ready to go for each practice Coming here is an easy drive from anywhere in Fort Wayne with two entrances and signs to guide you. Great place to stop and watch some of their weekend event!!

    After four years of my daughter attending this gym we have left…read more There were a couple of classes where a young male substitute teacher taught her class whom I thought was extremely rude. My daughter was uncomfortable because she's never had a male teacher and she is quite shy to be in with. When she won't give him a high five he would make her feel uncomfortable. I thought maybe things would change once she was more comfortable around him. She had one make up class to use before it expired. They only class that was available was with this teacher. I told him I signed her up for his class which he seemed happy. Now to the day of her makeup class. My daughter asked a question that he would not answer her. At the same time two other girls ask similar questions that he answered right away. He made her stand in the middle of the class until she answered her own question. This happened a second time but to make it worse he stopped the whole class to answer another girls question and again made my daughter stand to try to answer her own question. He then told her to go do something and get out of the way. This is not her normal class so she was not use to his style of couching. She did not want to return if her normal teacher was not going to be there because this young male teacher was her back up. It got to the point she would ask her teacher if she will be here next week. If he talked to students like this when there parents are sitting right there I can't imagine how he treats the girls when their parents aren't there. We started looking for another gym because she was so uncomfortable. We finally found one that she will make her new home. My daughter had one last class before her monthly enrollment was up. As we walked out she was really sad. We talked for a couple of minutes. She had a change of heart and wanted to talk to her teacher about what happen. There was no compassion towards my daughter. I was told that she doesn't want to discuss this matter that she thinks very highly of him. Also, he was her back up. She didn't let her discuss what happen or I am sorry that happen or I am sorry you felt that way. After this we walked out knowing we made the right decision to leave a gym after four years and almost $3000!

    Our four year old and my husband had a total blast on the toboggan run. I had heard about it for…read moreyears so it was fun to finally see it in person and see just how popular it was despite it only being 15 degrees outside. The price includes one hour of time on the run and folks typically can make it through 2-3 times. I have to say, I was surprised at just how much fun I had watching strangers go down and seeing the whole thing. It's quite nostalgic. You can park at the top of the run or at the hotel (where the track spits you out).

    SO MUCH FUN! I came with my family in late December and we had a blast! There were 6 adults and two…read morekids in our group and everyone enjoyed themselves. The toboggan rental is easy and straightforward. You fill out a yellow sheet before going up to the window and then need an ID to rent up to 4 toboggans. They range from 2-4 people and cost $13 an hour for each one. Then $6.50 for each additional half hour. If it's busy you can only go down once in an hour, but with fewer people it's possible to get down 3 times if you're walking the sled up each time. People who drive in their car with the sleds May be able to go down 4 times. I personally liked having to hike back up with the sled. It's great exercise and reminds me of running up the hills to sled back down as a kid. The sleds go up to almost 40mph. We got up to 37mph with two adults and two kids (11 and 12). It's thrilling and fun! The only scary part for me was waiting on the metal steps going up. I'm scared of heights and I was shaking waiting in the line, but it was worth the ride down!

    HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!! If you're thinking about taking your…read moreenergetic & playful children out somewhere for fun, this is absolutely the place to have so much fun & make new memories together! I recently was invited by a family member who had made reservations for a birthday party, so I had to confirm my attendance through a link, which provided a QR to show upon arrival. Easy peasy! Overall, it was very enjoyable, even for me as a parent. There's plenty of space to sit and enjoy the various snacks and drinks they have available to purchase. There's a foosball table, air hockey, bumper cars, and a Photo Booth, which most of them have to be activated with credits on a gaming card to play the game/use the car. Honestly, it was alot cleaner than other indoor play places I've been to. So props to their team for keeping it tidy & well maintained. Also, it's very toddler friendly, so if you have toddlers who are walking, there's an area for them to play safely in, which includes a ball pit, mini slides, and a mini obstacle course; but my toddler had so much fun in both areas. Note: You will need to be wearing ONLY socks at all times (preferably ones that don't come off easily & are snug). You have to take off your shoes and put them in a bin before entering the play area; which I wasn't aware beforehand & didn't bring socks, but I was in luck, because they do sell adult and children sizes anyways. Shout out to a staff member, "Bee" like "Bumblebee", she was very energetic, pleasant, and informative. She provided great service & was so kind to speak to! Update: My daughter did catch a severe cold after being here; so just keep that in mind prior to visiting!

    Always a phenomenal experience when we are at Kids Empire! Love that I can feel safe while not…read morerunning everywhere and that my kids can wear themselves out with the unlimited play. And the workers are all super friendly and helpful!
