Birthdays are a little pricey but the kids have such a fun time and their food is actually really good! Great place to wear your kids out, never had issues taking 2-5 year olds either.

If you are a parent who needs to work on the side and using the counter table and chair, it can be a bit of a mess and you might need to clean. They don't get used much so it can be overlooked. The top counter needs to be dusted periodically. It is covered by a thick dust if you wipe it. You won't notice it at first because of the colour of the counter but if you put something on it, you will bring with you dust bunnies. Need to check on toilet paper too. ;) Beside from that, staff are nice and rely do their job. It's a big place so I know some areas can be missed sometimes.

I've hosted birthdays at Big Air Raleigh before, so I know they are capable of doing better…read more Unfortunately, this most recent party was a terrible experience and not worth the money. Despite confirming details in advance and paying nearly $700, the event was disorganized from the start. We were given the wrong party room number, causing delays, and when the kids were ready to eat, the room and food were not prepared on time. The biggest issue was the ice cream. I had paid for ice cream for all guests, but only after the party started was I told they were out. I was advised mid party to buy something next door at Food Lion so my husband went to get ice cream--only for the manager to confront me in front of guests saying I couldn't serve it due to policy. After an embarrassing back‑and‑forth, they eventually allowed it, but the damage was done. My son's party was disrupted, and my guests witnessed unnecessary conflict. To make matters worse, billing confusion at the end left me feeling accused of not covering a guest, only for it to later be revealed as a miscommunication that left me feeling awkward because the venue involved the other family by calling them. The entire experience was stressful, embarrassing, and poorly handled. While the party host tried to be helpful, the management's lack of communication and professionalism ruined the celebration. I've been a loyal customer since they opened, but after this ordeal I am cancelling my membership. Customer service matters, and this event showed me Big Air Raleigh does not value it.

He tells me that the instructors were fantastic. He's 12 and typically enjoys obstacle courses, so this camp was right up his alley. If your kid has no interest in playing on workout equipment and completing obstacles all day, please don't sign them up for the camp. It makes it less fun for the others who are there to get better at their skills. But, if your kid loves running, climbing, and all things ninja warrior, then this is definitely the right place!

Had a birthday party here for my kid and it went pretty well!…read more The staff were generally helpful before and during the party. There's a Pizza Hut right next door which is super useful for feeding the kids. Angel Island can arrange for the pizza to be delivered, but they charge a fee, and it's pretty easy to just walk over there and grab the pizza yourself :) There's plenty of stuff for the kids to do, like play in the ball pit, jump on the sticky wall with a Velcro suit, or go on the merry-go-round. The party room was pretty barebones but it got the job done. I will say that my son developed influenza B about one day after his party, but I'm not 100% sure he caught it at Angel Island since that's a pretty short (but not unheard of) incubation period. I will say it didn't seem like the cleanest venue and there were tons of kids running around, but who knows :) Overall, my kid had a good time and I think it's a pretty decent choice for a birthday party.

First to review?? Seriously? Wow, a bit of pressure. Okay then. I took my son to Hexagon Wake…read morePark/Tucker Lake yesterday to take him wakeboarding. I purchased a groupon pass and had seen the park featured on NC Weekend so I figured it might be worth a day trip. We get there and the guy working the front gate was gracious enough to let us go into the park without paying extra. The area is divided into two sections- the Tucker Lake part and Hexagon Wake Park. We had a blast hanging out in the water and on the assorted diving boards, trampoline, pyramid, etc. at the lake. We then headed over to the building for his lesson. He was given a helmet, life jacket, and a wake board. We met Will who set my son up on the beginner cable. Think of it like a ski resort, with the bunny slope and then the other runs. C did the bunny slope a few times, which consisted of a remote controlled cable that ran back and forth and then moved on to what they refer to as the 2.0 system. Will was super nice, very "yes ma'am" and a generally stoked wakeboarder. From there, you are cued up in a line to get on a cable that you grab either from a seated start or a standing position (again, think ski lift). If you make it off the dock you can take the tow rope/cable around the lake as many times as you'd like. There are ramps for tricks as well. Some of the guys we saw were amazing. They were pulling all kinds of tricks. If you fall you simply swim to a floating dock that is on the perimeter of the lake. I can't attest to how the cables felt, or what it was like to wakeboard on a cable versus a boat, but I can say that the guy working the 2.0 cable system was so encouraging and nice to everyone who was in line. He practiced with them, set up them exactly right on the ramp, and was incredibly positive. Even though my son was never able to do a complete run, he had a great experience and wants to go back. And after that, we went back and did front flips off the dive board. And honestly, isn't that what summer is about? If you're in the area be sure to check it out. We'll definitely be back.

I didn't realize how tough wakeboarding was (even for a pretty competent snowboarder), but my…read morebrother and I had a great time! I've been back 3 or 4 times since I bought my first groupon in Summer 2013. It was nice that the experts at the place volunteered tips to novices and encouragement after we face planted quite a few times. My word of caution would be that this is extremely rigorous activity. The average dad isn't going to be able to just hop on the cable unless he has had exposure to snowboarding/wakeboarding/skateboarding. If you've never been wakeboarding, don't expect to hop on the cable on your first try. You'll drink plenty of water as your face smacks the water on the first couple launches..... but keep at it! I think I heard the cable's cruising speed is 16 mph, so you're actually launching off the dock at about 25 mph since you're starting out from underneath the cable. So, don't expect to go as slow as you want like you can on a bunny slope. It is a great environment to learn for those up to the challenge! I would suggest going on days that aren't holidays and not during the summer.... another commenter made a valid point that this place can get BUSY and it takes a while to get set up for another run. I'm at the point where I can zip around the lake a few times and I'm just attempting some of the jumps and other features. It's a place I could go time and time again--so much fun!
