The 'after party' is always the most fun, but they ran out of beer within the first 30 minutes after the 5k and there weren't many food options. This has changed/ declined a lot over the last 7 years of participation. That was a bit disappointing because I love enjoying friends and the vendors after the race. Let's see how next year pans out.

My AB students were SO excited to use their reward and felt super proud of themselves the entire visit. Sadly the jump area had already closed down, BUT the staff handled everything so kindly and made sure my other child still got to enjoy. One child did go-kart round and my other child got 2 hours of arcade time. That alone turned what was disappointment into a really fun family outing. The employees were patient, friendly, and genuinely nice the whole time -- which matters so much when you're out with kids. There's honestly a ton to do, the atmosphere was fun, and my kiddos are already asking when we're going back Definitely will be back again!

There are also shops, bars and some food as well. Nothing special, but a food time if you are a car geek or if you have kids. Everything is individual priced. Oh, they also have Lazer tag. Life hack for the drinkers out there. O07 museum bar has happy hour from 2- 4 daily. It is to the right when you walk in either door. They have $5 specialty drinks during happy hour and they are really good.

And they need plenty of outlets to power up these speedy electric go karts. This spot had immediate availability in the 5 O'Clock hour on a Saturday afternoon. We just missed the window for the one race so we had to wait 15 mins for the next one, which gives you a chance to watch some of the other races. I recommend purchasing the head sock as it lets the helmet glide on with ease. Prices are still kinda high for one race and I didn't see anything that looked like you saved money with more races. There are two tracks, basically and adult track and a child track. The carts can be pretty speedy, but they're controlled by big brother who seems to let the field drive at the pace of the field. On some laps, I felt I was going faster than on other laps. It's neat for the start/finish to slow down the cars, but I'd rather have full power the entire rest of the race. I could see myself coming here again as long as the crowds don't make it unreasonable. I guess if you did have a race time an hour or two away, there are many other things to do.

I had heard from locals that it's a great local option over the big theme parks. Fun Spot was pretty great, for what it was. Free parking, free admission if you don't plan on riding rides, also a discounted adult pass if you only are going on rides with your kid who is too young to ride alone. The whole place was small, maybe the area of a handful of city blocks. And on the Sunday afternoon when we went, the place was quiet enough that we never waited more than a few minutes to get onto a ride. As we were only there for a couple hours, the cashier recommended the 4 ride pass for my kids, and the companion pass for me. But if one were to spend more hours there, buying the day pass online for $59.95 is quite a bargain. Not all rides were open, but the "big" rides that most kids want (the roller coasters and the go carts) were open. My daughter, who is not a big roller coaster fan, had a harder time finding kiddie rides that she actually wanted to go on, and she watched the go carts and didn't even want to try those with me driving. However, the place was small enough that I felt fine leaving my 10 year old son to go on rides by himself while I went on the Ferris wheel or the merry go round with my 8 year old. There are a bunch of food options available throughout the park. They were definitely more affordable than Disney prices! Most of the places offered souvenir cups with discounted refills, but there were also water stations set up throughout with free cups. I'd definitely come back if I had a few hours to burn and the kids didn't want to go swimming. Hopefully at some point, my daughter will change her mind about roller coasters, though!

The 5k part was really muddy (thanks to typical soggy Central Florida weather) but the run course was punctuated with color changing psychedelic lights, glowing inflatables, light projections, pounding electronic music, and lots of fun glow gear. I enjoyed the run, despite the mud. When we arrived at the finish line we took some cool blacklight photos set up by The Spark Run then headed over to the DJ area to grab some food and drink. Then it happened-we could not resist Kaskade. The music and the dancing atmosphere was just infectious. We danced for two hours after doing the 5K. The setting, the weather, the music...it was all perfect. I am a huge Kaskade fan now. What a great event!

Sound system and lighting was amazing. So enjoyable, awesome rave. Now, there were some natural challenges built into the the run. No ones fault; could not be helped. The mud---rain boots would have been nice, and the cow Manure smell--I kept looking for cows and never saw any. . . The pot. It's rank. Who smokes pot at a 5k anyway? And then there were the ant bites. . . Well, it kept us running. . . It seems like I got more of a tough mudder race for a 5k along with a super show. Such awesomeness !!

One of them happened to be the mess fest that was going on this past weekend. So we decided to head out to Orlando and let me tell you it was so much fun!! They transformed one of their rooms into a fun place for the kids to get messy. You were catapulting scrunchie balls covered in paint onto a canvas sheet. There was another area where they were doing little bottle rockets with paint and Alka-Seltzer. That my kids absolutely LOVED. They also had scribble bots, a raffle painting for canvas paintings but that's not all because they had other stuff going on different floors. We got to make our own slime and we even got to go outside and watch them use liquid nitrogen to cause a bubbly explosion that the kids got to play afterwards. This was a 10 out of 10 experience.
