    Hot AF! No AC currently and it's hot! Middle of summer on a Sunday and every one and their mother…read moreis here . . . . Literally! (Haha, I crack myself up. Must be the heat.) they got a really great guy at the front counter with an amazing and positive attitude and so good with games with the kids. Never heard of the Zombie tag game but the kids loved it. Fans throughout to keep the parents cool. Our annual stop when we are in town and the kids loved it as always. A little workout midday to wear them out is always a bonus. Located inside Firewheel definitely bring your kids in! ***upon further review I assume the owner is cheap because the recurring theme is to turn the AC off in the summer time. Sad! You charge enough and have enough customers to make it comfortable for your patrons. Will report to the County/City Public Health Board. We will see if the fine is cheaper.

    Fun for kids and adults who act like kids! Like me! If the kids and I are in Texas, we're going to…read moreObstacle Warrior Kids! The Good: Are you and your kids active? Do you watch Ninja Warriors? Then this is the spot for you! Indoor facility with a variety of obstacles for kids that adults can also partake in, just gotta sign a waiver. Groupon usually has group packages and they also have birthday parties here. I saw one going on yesterday and the staff assisting the party was awesome! Areas for the tiny ninjas too The Bad: They just got swamp coolers, air conditioning either wasn't working or they just didn't use it. Either way you came to sweat so it's really not that bad. Also, the foam bricks will get you all dusty and possibly in the eye, I speak from experience. Just be cautious. You signed the wavier. The Ugly: bathrooms but their bathrooms. Cope. Fantastic place, I will always bring my kids here during summer vacations to Texas!

    NickelRama - Bathrooms were much better than expected

    We checked this place out recently and had a good time. The people at the front desk were friendly…read moreand informative. There are a variety of games and it's decently priced. My daughter had a blast. She collected enough tickets to win some cool prizes. Some of the games weren't working, but we got to enjoy most of them. It was a fun way to spend an hour or so.

    I took my grandson to NickelRama a little over a week ago, while he was visiting from Ohio…read more Having never been, I had no expectations other than to think we were going to an "arcade." I had looked up NickelRama online just to verify that fact, and in so doing I read that all the arcade games were, go figure, a "nickel!" Anyhoo, what I did not realize was that NickelRama are a chain of "play for tickets" arcades, where one may then redeem the tickets for "prizes," akin to that which one might imagine winning at a carnival "Guess Your Age/Weight Booth," where number of prizes range from a stick of chewing gum or pencil topper on the low end to perhaps something electronic on the far upper end, depending on the number of tickets being redeemed. My grandson was fully aware of what we were getting into, as I quickly learned. After we made entry and each received our initial $10.00 purchase of 200 nickels, presented to us loose, in plastic cups, he immediately began searching the arcade for what he determined to be the game that would result in us accumulating the most tickets. This was not his first rodeo and he certainly knew the "name of the game" was quantity over quality, as far as ticket acquisition goes. The idea that we might challenge one another in some friendly video game mano a mano competition was quickly replaced by us challenging an electronically crafted gizmo to give up the most tickets possible, for later turn-in and prize procurement! As such was inevitable, he found THE game and thus, the challenge was on. It took us each about 45 minutes to burn through our 200 nickels. Well, I actually left the particular game and sought some variety of play, after about 160 or so nickels. That was short lived however, as I quickly realized my grandson's assessment was correct and the game to which he remained attached was the one that was most generous in spitting out tickets. Hence, I returned to sit beside him at the adjacent game and fed the remainder of my nickels into the machine. When our nickel cups were empty, I urged my grandson to walk about and seek out other possible games, but he quietly reminded me none were as generous as the one we'd just left. Still, I was seeking variety so, I enticed him with an additional cup of 100 nickels. He retrieved the cups and we began playing a game somewhat similar to THE game, but as he pointed out it just wasn't as lucrative. So, we went back to the machines we first sat at and fed. After a short period, we both were done and ready to feed our tickets into the Ticket Counters for tabulation. The ticket counters, booth count AND slice the tickets in half so they may not be reused/recounted. As our tickets were counted, he was declared the winner, by his count exceeding mine, by about 800 tickets! In total, we had a combined give or take 5300 tickets, with which he could now utilize to "shop" for prizes. With an "All-in" investment of just at $40, including the $5 entry fee for each of us to the NickelRama, he was able to get a tiny rubber eraser, a pair of large foam dice, and a plastic foam ball pop gun. In the end, I considered it money well spent, since the goal of the trip was to spend some quality time out with my grandson. He had fun and I had fun! He was shown that he was valued by my following his lead in our quest. And, he outperformed me in the acquisition of tickets! If you're looking to spend some time with your little ones and you want them to feel good about themselves, a NickelRama can fill that need! If you go, just keep in mind, that the quality is not in the prizes but in the time spent together! Live well. Be well. Cheers!

We worked with them for about a year and a half, and they were so patient, open minded, and incredibly detail oriented the entire time. They really listened to what we wanted while also keeping us organized, on track, and making sure everything still felt elevated and classy. Katie and her team were always there to answer all of our questions and truly became our biggest advocates throughout the entire planning process. They even took the time to get to know our parents, which meant so much to us, and helped build trust with them along the way. It made the whole experience feel seamless and supported for everyone involved. They also went above and beyond in ways we didn't even expect. Katie and her team helped us find venues that weren't even on our original list and somehow just knew what would be the right fit for us. Katie has this amazing ability to light up a room and make you feel confident in every decision you're making together, which is honestly one of the best things you could ask for in a wedding planner. What meant the most to us was how much effort Katie and her team put into understanding all of our wedding rituals. Having an Indian wedding, this was really important to us, and they took the time to learn, respect, and execute everything so thoughtfully. It made us feel so seen and taken care of throughout the entire process. Katie and her team really went above and beyond with every detail that went into our wedding. I remember people asking me if I was nervous, and I would always say no because I fully trusted Katie and her team to pull off the best wedding weekend possible, and that is exactly what they did. They helped us build our dream team of vendors, and everything came together so seamlessly because of them. Anytime someone asks about our wedding weekend, we always say it exceeded our expectations and that is all thanks to Katie and her team. Could not recommend As You Wish more!

Katie caught our vision immediately and brought fresh, relevant ideas to help perfect that vision. Her attention to detail early in the planning phase up to wedding day execution was beyond impressive. From the moment our daughter walked down the aisle until she climbed into the exit vehicle, Katie and her team ensured that everything was flawless. I'm forever grateful because we got to enjoy the day like honored guests at our only child's wedding. Katie is a beautiful young entrepreneur, and we sincerely loved every minute we spent with her! We love Katie like family now and would highly recommend As You Wish Events to anyone looking to have an unforgettable wedding. Thank you Katie! XOXO

    Now that my husband and I have settled into life together I can do this review. My mom did a review…read moresome time ago but this is from my perspective! When I came to Jupiter Garden for a tour back in March 2024. I felt like it was the right place. We looked at many places, but this place fit our budget. I worked with Amber Williams, who coordinated everything, with which I had a great experience. She was with me every step of the way in planning. She went out of her way to get me information on anything I asked about. My wedding date was set for October 12, 2024. Everything ran smoothly up until a week and a half before my date. I received a call from Terry Badmus (the owner) stating that they let her go, which I was disappointed about. It's a business, and things happen. What I didn't like was that it seemed that I had to start my contract from scratch. I had received a text saying that I had a remaining balance, but everything was paid in full months before. I had to have an additional meeting with the owner to go over my whole contract. During this meeting, I was told I didn't have enough servers, had to pay additional for that, and was told one of the rooms we had was an additional 800. We opted out due to that additional charge not being part of the budget, and we still had catering, photographers, and videographers to pay for. And he was a bit unprofessional when it came to Amber. I didn't appreciate his berating of her service provided when I had a wonderful experience with her. He had another young lady take over for Amber. The young lady's name is Hiqmah, and although very nice, she dressed unprofessionally for our first meeting with the owner for the final walk-through as well as on the day of my wedding. On the rehearsal/setup day, we had to unexpectedly share that time with another bride and her family. It was frustrating because it was my time, and we got double booked. On the wedding day, we ran into some issues with tables and chairs for my guests, but the staff worked well to fix the issues before the guests arrived. Overall, my wedding was a success! The wedding ceremony took place in the garden courtyard, and the reception was inside. Pros: Decorum is included, and you get to pick what you want; it's spacious and accommodating for up to 200 persons; you can bring in your own food and or catering; you can do any additional decorations you want; staff was friendly and accommodating; dressing rooms were nice but could use a slight update. Cons: no kitchen, fridge, etc.; not many restrooms for a lot of guests; restrooms need an update.

Claims they have security there and that wasn't the case. I ran around all night doing there "jobs" and couldn't find anyone who actually worked for the venue the entire evening after the reception started. Lastly, they proceeded to lock all my stuff I thought as decorations and put it in there storage closet. Pretending they didn't know it wasn't their stuff. You cannot trust these people with your money or belongings let alone family members.
