OK so I want to love Battle Racing, but unfortunately this place leaves a lot to be desired…read more I recently went here for my cousins birthday because he wanted to live out his inner child dreams of doing real life Mario Kart. We went in a large group, and got to try out both the racing and the shooting game they offered. The actual race is so fun - you can buy a package to do two races that's around $25, but they offer group discounts and deals the more tickets you buy. I had a blast racing the go-karts, and it was even more fun because I beat my entire family much to their dismay. While the go-kart experience is fun, the entire experience of Battle Racing is pretty mediocre. The building itself is pretty run down, and the staff is not very welcoming or helpful. The place doesn't have a lot to offer in terms of other games to play while you wait your turn, and they also do not offer reservations and the experience is first come first served. I would imagine that creates a weird experience if you aren't the first ones to arrive like we were. There is only one bathroom for the entire space, so if the place is full you have to wait quite a bit. They also offer food and private party services, but seemed pretty unprepared for our private party which my cousin booked in advance with time details and food requests. I think this place could be really successful if they spruced the place up a bit, offered a bit more organization when it came to booking, and had a more welcoming team. There is definitely potential, but it missed the mark for our party this weekend. There is a free parking lot in the back of the building, as well as street parking. Overall, if you want to go-kart race here I would be prepared for an in-and-out experience as it's not a place you want to linger.

We had a blast! I don't know what the other reviews are saying because we didn't have any negative…read moreexperience AT ALL in fact it was the opposite. The staff was so kind and the music was a whole vibe and the go karting was just like Mario Kart but live which was super fun!!! Then they had a ton of games to play like Jenga and foosball and other board games. This would be so perfect for a birthday party too. So glad we didn't listen to the negative reviews because this was a core memory made today.

My sister surprised me with this horseback riding experience as a gift, and I was genuinely…read moreexcited--especially about riding along the beach and having my family, including my 4-year-old son, watch from the cabanas. It was something I had really been looking forward to. Unfortunately, the experience did not match what was advertised. When it was our turn, our group included two younger children (around age 8 and up), and because of that, the guides decided not to take us through the main beach route. Instead, we only went along the shoreline for what felt like less than two minutes before being redirected back onto a road. We were told this change was due to the presence of the children and the guides not feeling comfortable continuing along the intended beach path. While I understand safety is important, this was never communicated beforehand. We paid for a beach horseback riding experience--not a brief pass by the water followed by a road ride. What made it more disappointing was that my family had been waiting to watch this special moment, only to find out last minute that we wouldn't even be going through the designated beach area that was part of the tour. This experience was not cheap, and we did not receive what was advertised. I would strongly recommend that if you book this tour, you confirm in advance that your group will actually be riding along the beach and not grouped with younger children, as this may significantly change your experience without prior notice. Overall, I was very disappointed and felt that the experience did not deliver what was promised.

Actually not a scam. The one star rating gives a false impression and made me a little nervous…read moreespecially since I saw it after I sent a $950 deposit for the vessel and jet skiis. From the moment I reached out to inquire about their services, the Broker was incredibly responsive and helpful, the entire way through. The boat we rented was exactly as described. It was clean, well-maintained, and had all the amenities we needed for a perfect day , and sunset! out on the water. The captain provided was not only skilled and knowledgeable but also friendly and accommodating, making our entire trip even more enjoyable. The only advise I'd say is make sure you tell your captain you got jet skiis. I almost didn't mention it assuming they knew. But when I asked where we stop for jet skiis after planning the route we had a minor change in the route because they advised they weren't told and sometimes it's not communicated. They also had several charters a day so I understand anyone can make a mistake. Always good anyway to cover all ends and not assume. Oh, one more thing to keep in mind. Day of charter, the captain texts you from a different number. They tell you to go to a different address that's not the listed one for this company. The address the captain gives you is the actual dock where they pick you up. Going into this blind, this would've been a good piece of mind to know because it looked a little sus. But just let the guy at the gate know which boat you're there for and who your captain is and he will have knowledge. our experience was nothing short of exceptional. Our trip to Miami wouldn't have been the same. This company delivered and couldn't have asked for a better experience. Thank you Sura!

5-star experience all around. At the closest spot for skydiving to central Miami, I continued on…read moremy campaign to get over my fear of heights (see profile pic). While it's terrifying, I didn't wet my pants, get sick or chicken out at the last minute (LOL), thanks to the terrific staff. A small backstory: I am indeed terrified of heights taller than a ladder to change a lightbulb. My way to try to get over this is try to find relatively safe ways to de-sensitize my fear (bungee jumping from a utility tower over a stuntman air mattress in Seattle, walking over the glass balcony at the Grand Canyon, etc.). Doc C tries to be supportive in all this (he spotted the billboard for the bungee jumping). However, he has a remarkably unbroken record of headaches, back aches and stomach aches that have mysteriously kept him from personally trying any of these things himself. The folks with Miami Skydiving were calming right off the bat on the phone. They explain the whole thing step by step and even apply a coupon for $10 off, which always makes me mellow. The general price will be about $300, depending on extras (photo purchase, etc). Once you get there, the on-the-ground instructor goes through all the things you need to know. The trainer will be harnessed to your back. If you panic with a death grip on the pull cord, the trainer has a second pull cord. It's like a driver's ed car with a second steering wheel and extra set of brakes. The panic only sets in after the small plane takes you up in the air, packed with you and your fellow jumpers. It's easy to see out the large opening in the side of the plane where you'll be jumping out, and everyone is sort of sitting with knees apart, chest to back of the person in front of them. I was the first in the line-up, with no room for anyone else to get around me, so they couldn't exactly let me back out after we were in the air. The climactic moment is when you fall forward out of the plane, starting the first few moments of free fall. Despite the terror and adrenaline rush, it's remarkably peaceful. You could see Biscayne Bay, the Everglades and even down to the Keys. One fun extra as you're skydiving is the in-air photographer. The photog is in a sort of flying squirrel winged bodysuit, and swoops in and out, up and down, taking pictures of everyone as they fall. The camera is clever, mounted on top of the helmet with the shutter wired to a mouth activated trigger. The pics before your parachute is open will be funny but not very flattering: the rushing wind makes your face look like a basset hound crossed with Donald Trump's hair on a windy day. The later ones after the chute is open, you'll be surprised by how many laughing ones there are, despite the fact you're plummeting toward the ground 10k feet below. By the time you glide in for landing, the adrenaline rush from the terror will have given way to a rush of endorphins. At least half the group was giggling and laughing crazily by the time we were all taking off our safety helmets, etc. My trainer saved the nervous jokes for the van ride back to the airport: "hey I noticed on the plane on the way up that the straps were really frayed but didn't want you to back out...ha! gotcha Joe"

We met our instructor, Maria, and her mom, who came along for the ride. Maria was awesome--happy, full of energy, and super easy to work with. Our original session was scheduled for Saturday, but when we arrived, the eFoil boards were having connectivity issues with their app. Maria apologized and said she'd check in with the shop owner to see if we could reschedule. In the meantime, she let us use paddleboards for free, so we still got to enjoy some time on the water. The next morning (Sunday), Maria texted to say everything was working again, so we headed back for a noon session--and it was an absolute blast. She even took some great videos of us out on the water. Definitely recommend booking a class with Maria!

My friends and I chatted with them and it was heartwarming to hear about how much passion they have for what they do. Their service is extremely friendly and they even offered us sunscreen in case we didn't have. You can make reservations online and you're emailed a waiver to sign beforehand. The bookings are in blocks of 30min and it's $25 for an hour. Upon arrival, they have lockers for you to lock your stuff up and they'll teach you how to use the equipment and which route to take. Warning: it's very physical. You have to carry the paddle board on a short walk to the water, but it was heavy for some of my friends. We were newbies and it took us some time to get into the water and finally offshore, so just make sure you budget enough time. TLDR: Warning: paddleboarding is much more physical than it appears. Shoreside Club gets five stars for the two brothers that provide extremely friendly service!
