ZERO STARS DO NOT RECOMMEND!!!…read more Life guard said we cant swim and that we needed life jackets in the shallow end!!! Plus we needed a parent touching us at all time. And my legal guardian was in the water with us and the lifeguard had said that she needed to be physically with us even though she was! She then accused us of lying when we said our legal guardian was in the water with us. She had red short hair, a sleeve of tattoos, had colorful crocs, and was wearing a black one piece bathing suit. So if you see her , make sure to report her immediately!!! By the way this happened on a wednesday. Thanks for your time and I do not recommend this place. Spend your money elsewhere and out of more high quality place. Also, before I get off i'd like to say the bathrooms were disgusting and there was mold. There was mold on the walkways in the gym and it smelled like sweat. I also witnessed a young child slip and fall on the wet inside floors. Not a single worker smiled back at us and they were talking crap about my leagal guardian and us. If I can give this place zero stars, I would , but that's not possible so I have to give it one star. All we wanted was a nice friendly trip experience to the water park , but we now have terrible memories just like the service...

I have to be honest, I'm not an MMA fan. You can barely call me a fan of any sort of sports. You…read morewill rarely ever catch me watching any sort of game or match or fight on television, and even rarer to actually attend one in person. But there's just something special about watching sports in person. The event itself was quite small compared to the amount of space available in Heritage Hall... Maybe only 1/4 of the entire area. That having been said, regardless of the different levels of admission, there wasn't a bad seat in the house. The majority of the fights were by so-called "amateurs." But these guys fought with respect for each other, and their own heart and soul. And being in such a small venue, we could often hear their friends and wives/girlfriends rooting for them. Additionally, you could did the fighters hanging out with the fans after their matches, just watching the other fights and more than willing to meet fans. The whole thing felt very intimate. All of the fights were intense and engaging, but I can see why they saved the professional matches until the end. All three matches were close calls and impossible to look away from. The judges definitely had a hard time scoring those three. That having been said, the only confusing part of the night was the VIP seating... Not clearly marked and almost identical to general admission seating. Not really a problem, just think it could help the staff have to police the area as much. If you're into boxing, wrestling, MMA, or any kind of fighting, you need to come to this. And if you aren't... Well... You'll still probably get a kick out of it too.

After not climbing for over a year, I decided to put on my climbing shoes again and check out LEF…read moreClimbing. It has a spacious interior with a variety of routes for bouldering, top rope, auto-belay, and lead climb. The walls are much taller than other gyms I've been to and make the routes much challenging. Some of the grading doesn't seem very consistent. Staff is nice. Kids and adults of all ages are welcome. It's definitely fun to experience it at least once! The day pass is currently $30 per person with all gear rentals included. No price reduction if you bring your own gear. The membership cost is hefty, $100 per month or $80 if prepay... that's close to 1K per person at a minimum. One membership bonus is that all classes are free. If I resume climbing on a regular basis, I might consider shelling out some $$.

The staff were very friendly and detailed on how to get prepared for climbing the wall with the harnesses and also the ins and outs of each level of difficulty. My son loved climbing, as this is definitely his wheelhouse, but not necessarily mine lol. There were numerous walls to climb with the ropes/harnesses utilized and other boulder walls with a harness or rope not used but with a padded flooring under the ways. There is a wall for each level of climber from beginner to seasoned. If you want to try something new or get more practice on your skills, LEF is perfect for you! We will come back soon!
