Anyone else who has anything negative to say is just a DEBBIE DOWNER hanging out with their friend NEGATIVE NANCY. There is no such thing as animal abuse at this special place and the people making up false allegations like that need to get a life. Most likely liberal lunatics.

We have visited Big Kanuna annually for over six years. They have go-carts, bumper boats, and a…read moreminiature golf course. We were last there a few days ago, the week before the 4th of July (2026). We did all three activities. The price for ten tickets (one ticket per ride) is $70. It costs more for ride tickets to buy individually. The go-carts are my favorite (there is a height limit, but there are two cars for a passenger who is under the height limit). The miniature golf course is good, but the bumper boat ride this year was under-filled with water and the was putrid green. The central fountain was turned off. The staff were extreme friendy, but they had only two people for all of the rides (inadequate). Inside, I saw no people in the restaurant and one person selling tickets and managing the ice cream and indoor games. The place seemed to be heading for decline compared to previous years with too few employees and dirty water for the boats. Also, it would be nice for them to offer standard flavors of ice cream (chocolate and vanilla) in addition to the other flavors.

Visiting from out of town, we came with relatives in the area. The inside building and restrooms…read morewere very clean and well kept, staff was friendly, and attractions were well maintained. We didn't have to wait much at all for the go-carts or the mini golf on a weekday. Impressed with the cleanliness and the condition of the facilities. My son was upset that he was the the last car to depart on the go-cart track so really no way to catch up to the front and at the end they give tickets to the first two winners that you can accumulate for prizes. So, that's constructive feedback for the establishement, but didn't deter having any fun and we would definitely return if in the area again.

We had a fun time here! I brought my 4yo nephew, my brother in law, and my 1.5yo niece here as a…read moregift to my nephew. Things to know: Doorbusting worked great for us! We got some time there before all the crowds arrived: after our first hour there, it started to get busy. I will say: this is borderline for 4yos. He was quite scared of how big the slides were so we didn't ride them until the second half of our time. You know your child best: if you think they might be scared, this probably isn't a good fit! The slides are REALLY tall - lots of stairs so be prepared! You have to buy the grippy socks they sell, you have to slide down face first on your stomach alone. Important to note that you won't be able to slide *with* your child if they're scared. I learned that if you as the adult aren't riding the slides, you don't have to buy a pass. That would make a huge difference and we'll skip the adult ticket next time! They have some stuff for kids under 4: a play area mainly. But again, better for older kids. Besides slides, they also have an arcade, bouncy ball courts, a zipline, and a swing into a foam pit. But definitely the highlight is the slides - they are quite a thrill! Best for adventurous and thrill-seeking kids!

What an amazing spot! So many fun slides to try. We went on a weekend so it definitely was busy but…read morebecause there are so many options you do not need to wait in line for Long. There is a toddler play area and a big net to climb. The area is very clean. There is food options available and lots of seats throughout.

If you are a spectator. You do not need to pay.

Our most recent visit was this past weekend when we went to the recently updated waterpark - Superior Shores. Our younger son loves the new water slides for younger kids while our older son loves the larger water rides now that he is tall enough to go on them. We also went on the Mad Mouse ride as a family - it was our 4-year old's 1st time on it and he loved it. ValleyFair has a nice variety of rides and entertainment for different age groups and is one of our go-tos for summer and early Fall (Halloween activities are fun too).
