I'm from Cincinnati area but was visiting family in Dayton in July and me and my cousin decided to…read morego here. It was a different atmosphere than Cincinnati and Kentucky rinks. It was cool though, more outgoing, more laid back. There was a lot of people doing dance skating and jumps. One annoying thing I noticed, There were groups of people that would be in the middle of the rink, not in the center area but right smack in the middle of where everybody is skating, and they would be doing a dance in one spot where everybody was trying to skate. That was kind of annoying and that would never fly in Cincinnati rinks! If you weren't careful you might plow right into them. And if you are skating they won't move out of your way, you're expected to go around them! It would be ok if they went into the center circle but they don't, they are out where everybody is skating. I was told by an experienced skater that this is "Dayton style skating" and every city has a different style of skating. The other thing that I didn't like was that there are no refills on water, even if you reuse the same cup! I asked the owner about this because I drink a lot of water and my rink in Cincinnati gives free refills as long as you use the same cup, but he said he couldn't do that. So if you drink water plan on paying for each refill! The rink floor is very slick as well, you can tell because of how shiny it is. A few times I felt my skates sliding sideways when going around curves. I ended up falling here and I hadn't fell in a long time. I fell right on my tailbone hard and it's been 4 weeks now and I'm still having pain. Either cracked or bruised my tailbone. So take precaution and maybe slow your wheels if you come here. I loved the music they played which is mostly hip hop and R&B and the atmosphere was very cool and different than what I'm used to. Three guys were doing jump after jump after jump and I asked them if I could record them and they happily let me. Everybody was very friendly. The owner seemed like a nice guy. I loved the light show and they kept the lights off most of the time so you can appreciate the lights and I think there are black lights too. I can't rate the food because all I got was water. Overall I would come back here if I was in the area again.

We recently had my daughter's birthday party at Orbit Fun Center. It's a great place to take a…read morelarge group of 5 and 6 year olds because even if they can't skate Orbit has video games and a bounce house. We had 10 children and it ended up costing right around 100 dollars. This was including pizza,bounce house,party area and skate rental. The only two negatives are that they only offer pepperoni pizza,so if you have picky eaters they are kind of out of luck. Also,the later it got the harder it was for the little kids to skate safely. There were lots of (well behaved) middle and high school kids going too fast for beginning skaters.

I LOVE VISITING KINGS ISLAND!!…read more This was another great visit to Kings Island with the family. This place just keeps delivering. The kids area is extensive and incredibly well done, with rides and attractions that work for a wide range of ages. It's clear they've thought about the adults too: plenty of shade and comfortable spots to wait while the kids burn off all that energy, which makes a huge difference on a long day (or a short day, you know!) One of my favorite traditions is lunch in the Festhaus. Being able to cool off, catch a show, and enjoy LaRosa's pizza is always a win. The pizza itself is great (as always), though I'll admit the pizza/breadstick combo is a little odd. The breadsticks are pretty doughy and don't have much flavor. Not terrible, just not the highlight. The true star, though, is the blue ice cream in the kids area. It's pure nostalgia, genuinely delicious, and the long line proves I'm not alone in thinking that. Even better, the line moves fast, so it's never a dealbreaker. Pizza and blue ice cream are a must for me every single visit--no exceptions. Kings Island continues to be a place we look forward to coming back to. Great for families, thoughtfully designed, and full of those little traditions that keep pulling you back year after year.

The lines were double the app estimates! The eateries were hilariously unprepared w/ lines out the door. Half the employees the need working only half the counter open at the BBQ place being used. 20 mins to get food. Then you go over to check out & there's 4 registers open but only 1 at a time is ever occupied since only 1 order comes out every 30 secs. So 3 workers are staring at phones! So poorly organized. Our Mac & cheese was so cold we couldn't eat it so had to go back & request another which had a 5 mins wait for another batch. Ice was piled up on every drink dispenser to laughable levels & again there's still 3 check out girls "picking their nose" just 3' away. We left early b/c it was pretty awful.

The room was spotless, but you can smell the mildew. Carpet + waterpark. Good thing we had a balcony, so we could air it out. The water park itself is filthy. They took the MRSA scare from years ago seriously by just adding more chlorine. The chlorine fumes in the wave pool burned my eyes before the water got to my knees. That, plus the water flow, has eaten the concrete of the lazy river. The smooth concrete ends at the waterline, both my husband and I skinned our knees. The water is never changed, only recycled. It all has a brown tenge to it. Many of the large tube slides have dark streaks on them, originating from the water spigots. It just highlighted the obvious priority, as most hotels have, money vs customer health. Can't close shop for a weekend to power wash or to change the water seasonally. These, plus my 9 yr old child could not play with her dolls nor wear her mermaid tail in the shallow end of the baby pool, are the reasons we won't be staying or visiting here again. I do understand the possible dangers with both (toys and a tail in water) and life guards were polite about it, but we have done both in a public pools for considerably less money.

It's so entertaining. They have pizza, hamburgers, chicken strips, candy, ice cream sandwiches, etc. at the concession, the ownership and management staff are super nice and accommodating.

My son lost his hat on one of the coasters and I told him it was gone. The owner made it a personal effort to return his hat to him and was just another circumstance that made our day perfect. They were not very busy and we rode everything multiple times. Food was good and moderately priced and staff was super friendly. You see the owners spelling employees for breaks and you could really tell how much they care. My family has been a few times but today was the first time I was able to go with them. I beleive we couldn't have had a better day anywhere else. I mentioned to my brother it was making the same kind of memories we had as kids at Americana and they actually bought, own and run a couple of rides that was origionally at Americana. Will definitely return and would personally encourage anyone else with kids to do the same. Thank you so so so much to the folks at Strickers for such a memorable, fun and perfect day.

We went at night with a big group of friends and had an absolute blast. They were open from 7:30pm until 10pm. Entrance fee is $10 per person. We all reserved a bonfire area near the back to start. The spot itself was very cool and a good distance away from others. Aside from the maize maze, they also have a store selling pumpkin goodies, and a little petting zoo area. As for the maze, they give you a blank puzzle, and your task is to find 12 hidden mailboxes, collect the puzzle pieces inside each, assemble the puzzle, and THEN find the exit via the Victory Bridge. Trust me, it'll take some time to find the mailboxes. It took my team almost two hours to complete it but we really had fun doing it all. This is one amazing maize maze! I can only imagine how long it took them to set it up. My only gripe is that it wasn't open long enough to really enjoy it all, but still, we'd go back again. Plus it would be nice if they had lights near the driveway entrance so it's easy to find. Still, I have a feeling my lady will likely go back next year.

I'd recommend this place. It's really fun. The kids love it. I would definitely take them again.read more

Large floatable obstacle courses in the manmade lake that they have in the back...EVERYONE HAS to wear a lifejacket (good luck trying to find the right size)...and the lifeguards WILL yell at you even if you BARELY have your feet in the water! It's a LONG walk to the bathroom and changing area, as well as kiddie area and condensations! Overall, had a great time, but it would be a once in a blue moon visit for me...little pricey as well!
