There is absolutely zero organization or communication among the staff. When you check in there is…read morezero mention of any amenities, no one asked if we needed a walker, nobody told us where to go to check in for skates, nobody told us about the bounce house; ZERO communication. Slapped a bracelet on our hands and yelled NEXT! Spoke to Will after finding out from another patron that you have to go request a walker, Will is entirely incompetent, rude, and apathetic to guests. I asked for a walker, he told me to go to the next line. I get to the next line, wait for my turn, and they said they have no walkers. ZERO communication. Nobody knows what's going on. I voiced my frustration with the complete lack of communication, and the employee named Will literally said, "sorry, not my problem. Maybe you'll get lucky and someone will turn in their walker early." So a few minutes later I checked back in the first line that I was originally told to go to for a walker; there was one left. Was told by the young guy there (didn't get his name) to go to the second line to pay.... I wait my turn, get to the front of the line, Walker was gone. Repeat 2 more times. Finally I talked to Alicia, who unbelievably enough was a manager. Told her about the 20 minute runaround I experienced with her employees. She smirked and said, sorry there's nothing I can do. I said are you the manager? She said yes I'm one of the managers. I said well you can train your employees better to start. She smirked again and said, "I have no power here, sorry." I said, you just said you're a manager? She said I am one of them. I said, what is your name? She laughed and said, "Alicia. And you can write whatever you want about me; I do not care. This isn't even my main job." I said I would like a refund, we are leaving. She said do you have your receipt? I said, my husband threw it away. She shrugged and said, "sorry. Nothing I can do if you don't have your receipt." And sat there smirking at me. UNBELIEVABLY HORRID customer service!!! Will needs to be trained, and Alicia needs to be fired.

It looks like they have one line for members, and another for non-members. So, a lady who came in after me got in the member line and was served before me. A little funky. You almost feel you have to buy their socks; otherwise, you "swap" your socks for theirs. So, $3 for socks. Okay. They're cool, 'cause they have grippers on the bottom. The girls chose to just jump for an hour, and hubby and I had a massage in their massage chairs while we waited. You can do as little as $1 for three minutes of massage. They have lots of activities, such as climbing walls and rope ladders. I think it's a great option for indoor exercise.

Each team member was very nice and personable. The overall time limit group was 30 people and it was a good size that it let everyone spread out on the courses. My friend and I wanted to jump straight to the Black course, which is the hardest one, but they require you to do Yellow first as a warm-up. Which I'm glad they did because it was fun and challenging. There's always a team member around supervising in case you get stuck or need a hint on how to approach a course. Overall, a really great time and would definitely come again to try more of the levels.
