    This is a tricky review to say fully yes or fully no to for recommending to others. I'll elaborate. We went to Slick City with our three kids (17, 16, and 12) as part of our GetOut pass 2025. We had the 60 minute play pass. The concept is basically waterless water slides and indoors. Like any action park, you are required to sign waivers before purchasing your ticket and Slick City requires you to buy their grippy socks; you are not allowed to wear grippy socks from anywhere else. Ok, fine, annoying but it's part of the experience. The pricing was in line with other action parks for their 60, 90, and 120 play passes. You get a colored wristband based on the time slot you bought and they call it over the loud speaker when your time is done. There are plenty of slides and varying degrees of thrill, speed, and height; same as a water park. The slides are objectively cool. Where these slides differ is that you are required to go head first on your stomach down every single slide on a mat. Now, for some, this is no big deal. We saw plenty of people not even give it a second thought. On the contrary, we saw a lot of people (mainly smaller kids) climb to the top, lay down, and panic. Were there attendants at the top to ensure people went the right way down? No. Were there attendants to make sure everyone got down okay, weren't injured? Also no. That was concerning for me because we saw some kids get hurt from the way they were either riding, landing, or getting crashed into or dog piled on. Normally at action parks, there are attendants everywhere to keep it safe, but there were none in sight on any slide. There was an attendant at the swing and handlebars, but that was only to be able to pull the swing back from over the pit. We saw lots of skinned of knees and elbows, a busted chin or a nosebleed, and what appeared to someone with a chipped tooth after they didn't raise their head up enough and went face first into the bottom of the slide. We saw a kid get absolutely pancaked on one of the launch slides when someone didn't wait for the last person to go and came down, flew right on top of him. It might just be part of the fun but it felt a little unnerving compared to what we're used to places like this. I am not a helicopter mom by any means either and think sometimes it's overkill with the safety officers, but it felt like there should've been a least a few around the actual slides. Our kids made it out unscathed, so it was all five stars for them this time around. Sweaty, but not injured in anyway. There is also a little gated in play area for little kids, and you can pay for just that area if they meet the age requirements. Any spectator has to be issued a special spectator wristband also. There is a little food court and lots of seating and a party rental space for large groups or events. The bathrooms are centralized but needed definitely attention. There was water and toilet paper all over the floor each time I went in. The soap dispenser was also wonky; if you didn't push the right pressure point, it all came out the top of the dispenser and went all over the place.

    If you're in Arizona, with kids, you HAVE to check out Slick City Action Park! We just went and had the absolute best time. It's genuinely fun for everyone - my little ones, the teenagers, and even me who's still a big kid at heart. We spent a few hours on those slides (seriously, they're epic!). And obviously, we hit up the snack bar for $7 Slurpees and munchies, pretzel/fries combo was around $12 with drink, plus we squeezed in some basketball. Big win: the A/C was cranking (crucial in Arizona!), Oh, and here's the kicker: we went on a Thursday and it was buy one get one free tickets! I found that deal on IG, it wasn't advertised elsewhere so pays to follow them @slickcityactionpark For an indoor spot to let loose, for a few hours, this place is top-notch.

    This place upset me for multiple reasons. 1) They do not tell you that you can purchase a 60 minute time block (for less $ than displayed options on kiosk) until after you have purchased one of the promoted time blocks (minimum shown is 90 minutes). 2) We brought our own grip socks (we have plenty from Round 1, Uptown Jungle, Party Jungle, etc.), but we were told we could not use any competitor's socks. We had to pay $4.99 per participant EXTRA for Slick City's own "City Socks." What a horrible policy ... just to make a few extra bucks off of each participant. 3) Nobody tells you that every single slide is head first until you have paid your admission/signed the waiver. Some in our party were extremely intimidated by even the idea of this, and would not have chosen to participate. 4) Though we know there is an inherent risk of injury, we assumed the risk would be minimal, and injury a rarity. However, my younger child scraped his elbow on the very first slide he tried, & he was afraid to do anything more scary, increasingly treacherous, or the like. My older son also scraped his elbow shortly into our visit. We left after a little less than an hour. 5) You either need to pay a minimum of $6 for a small locker (more if you want it for an extended period of time), or you need to just hope nobody steals your belongings setting them on or near a random bench. There are some tables, but it didn't feel right to just take up a table with our stuff if nobody was sitting there staying with our things. 6) My husband is 6'3" so my children are very tall for their ages. They would have loved to play in the playground portion of the park, but, unfortunately, only guests 45 inches and shorter could go inside. That is substantially smaller than many other similar parks where they can play in that sort of playground without issue or incident. I would recommend an age limit in lieu of a height limit (e.g. ages 12 and under). 7) Keep an eye on your children. It is a pretty big park. My mother and one son got separated from my husband, me, and our younger son, and it took us about 7 minutes to locate them (felt like an eternity), and we were pretty panicked. We had told them, we were just going to go down one slide, and we would be right back. Of course they had moved, and that was enough time to get lost. There are multiple ways to get up and down some towers, and it can be easy to lose a person (especially a special needs child like our autistic 11-year-old). There is no security there, whatsoever. It would be super easy for a child predator or a mass shooter to enter and do a great deal of damage in no time. In summary, they really nickel and dime the heck out of their guests. The place is pretty dangerous, in my opinion. I am pretty tiny & even I partially (my front half) flew off the end of the padded mat on one of the more benign slides. This happened both times I went down it. I had decided I would give it a second go in case it was a fluke that that had happened to me, the first time. Not the case. The only reason I did not give 1 star was because the employees were relatively nice (though far from marvelous), and it looks like the snack bar will have some decent choices though no fountain drinks nor hot food was available as of yet (our visit was 06/03/24). It is nice that spectators do not need to pay. They do at some competitors (e.g. Round 1).

    Playdate with cousins.

    So there we were, headed to Castles N' Coasters a wholesome amusement park in the desert... a place…read morefor families, laughter, and apparently, poor decision-making. Now my buddy this man reaches into his pocket and pulls out what I can only describe as a historical artifact. I'm talking a doobie so big it looked like Bob Marley himself rolled it during a greatest hits tour. I said, "Absolutely not. I am a grown man. I got responsibilities. I got a mortgage. I got snacks at home I haven't even finished yet." That didn't matter. Next thing I know, windows are up, car turns into a Dutch oven of bad decisions, and now I'm just along for the ride literally and spiritually. Somewhere between "this is a bad idea" and "why is everything funny," I lost control of the evening. We pull into the park around that magical time you know, that in-between hour... not quite day, not quite night... like God dimmed the lights and said, "Alright boys, let's see what happens." The whole place is glowing neon lights, arcade buzz, roller coasters rattling in the distance. Felt like walking into a carnival dream... or maybe a fever dream. Jury's still out. Now here's the thing about this place it's been around since the late '70s, sitting right there in Phoenix like a desert time capsule of fun. You got four roller coasters, including the Desert Storm, which sounds fun until you're on it reconsidering every life choice that led you there. Then there's the Patriot wooden, loud, and about as gentle as a bar fight. And somehow... SOMEHOW... we thought tequila beforehand was a good idea. So now we're buzzed, slightly baked against our will, and wandering this park like three philosophers who lost their notes. We're laughing at everything. Nothing's funny but everything's hilarious. A trash can? Comedy gold. A churro? Best thing I've ever eaten in my life. A child running past me? I'm emotionally invested in his journey. But I'll give credit where it's due the park itself? Clean. Staff's friendly. Nobody's judging three grown men giggling like idiots. It's got that old-school charm too arcades, mini golf, rides, the whole deal. You can bring a family here... or whatever version of a situation we were. Now the rides... oh, the rides. Let me tell you something nothing will make you rediscover fear like being slightly out of your mind on a roller coaster you thought you could handle. I got scared... not once... not twice... but a few times. The kind of scared where you start making promises to God you don't intend to keep. "I'll be a better man if I survive this drop..." Didn't mean a word of it. By the end of the night, we had the munchies, the laughs, and just enough dignity left to get back to the car without needing a group meeting. For a couple hours, though? We were kids again. No responsibilities. No stress. Just lights, noise, and pure, ridiculous fun. So yeah Castles N' Coasters might be a family amusement park... but under the right or completely wrong circumstances, it turns into one hell of a story. Would I recommend it? Absolutely. Just... maybe crack a window on the way there.

    Castles-N-Coasters has always been a total vibe in Phoenix. My only concern with this place is that…read morethe employees do not seem to care if people are buckled in or not. So I'm always very careful when I come with my kids, especially on the bigger posters. None of the rides are super dangerous, but I would hate for somebody to fall out! So thankful that it's still there and has survived all of the businesses closing around it. Will definitely be back.

It's also a great spot to entertain and tire out the kids! Lol There's even a Ferris wheel, but it was way too hot for us to ride. We also found a photo booth near the restrooms ($8), which was a fun little bonus. It's conveniently located near OdySea, Topgolf, and Talking Stick, and it's super easy to get to from the freeway. If you're visiting during the summer, I'd recommend saving the outdoor walking for the cooler months and spending the hotter afternoons indoors at OdySea.

    1 Star - Dangerous and disappointing experience on the Big Wheel…read more I rode the Boardwalk Big Wheel at Arizona Boardwalk today with my two young boys, ages 2 and 4. The experience was honestly terrible and, more importantly, felt unsafe. It was 105°F outside, and we were placed in the orange #15 gondola. The gondolas are primarily enclosed by glass and have no effective air conditioning. The AC in ours was clearly broken and was blowing hot air instead of cooling the cabin. Within minutes, all three of us were drenched in sweat and the heat inside was becoming extremely uncomfortable. The biggest issue was that the attendant locked us inside the gondola despite the extreme heat. We waved at her to let us out, but she didn't. We went around the entire wheel and, when we came back around, we waved again. She saw us, but still didn't open the door. I ultimately had to yell and knock on the glass to get her attention before she finally let us out after the second trip around. When we got off, I explained what had happened to the attendant. Her response was essentially an unenthusiastic, unapologetic "sorry." There was no concern about whether my children or I were okay, no offer to move us to a functioning gondola, and no refund or other attempt to make the situation right. I paid $22.71 for the ride, but the money isn't really the issue. What concerns me is putting young children into an enclosed, extremely hot gondola with a malfunctioning cooling system and then failing to respond when the passengers are clearly asking to get out. I would strongly recommend that Arizona Boardwalk inspect and properly maintain these gondolas and, more importantly, make sure attendants respond immediately when passengers are signaling that they need to exit. I would not recommend riding the Boardwalk Big Wheel, particularly with young children in extreme heat.

We enjoyed the rides, the 4D movie, all the opportunities to build, and especially the mini model of Phoenix. I was also very impressed by how clean and well-spaced everything felt despite it being a very hands-on place. The reason it did not get 5 stars for me was the amount of employees and subsequently the wait times. Not counting those in training, the first ride had 2 employees, the second had 1, and the mosaic room had 1. Each ride also had one person in training, which will be very beneficial for them. Having more employees available overall would have been great. For example, in the Merlin ride which has flying vehicles that can go up and down, there was one employee that seemed experienced and the trainee. There were 6 vehicles that could fit up 2 at a time. We witnessed the ride cycle through twice before our turn and we timed that it took us 30 minutes before we rode. The ride itself was maybe 2-3 minutes in its entirety. It took that long for the employees to load everyone on, check seatbelts, run the ride, and then unlock and release the people that just finished. Here is what I would change: have a designated employee at the entrance that counts off whoever is going on the next ride and prep them while the prior ride is going. That means take the measurements, ask who is riding (adult w/child, etc.), and explain the rules. Once the prior ride finishes, both the employee from the entrance and an employee from the exit enter the ride area to unlock the passengers, one for the outside guests and one for the inside. Then let the new passengers enter and repeat the seatbelt check cycle. Resume positions and start again. If I was to go again the first thing I would correct was to wait on going on the second ride. Get there early and knock the rides out first to save you time. I sincerely hope they find a way to operate faster because this place is super cool and without the long wait time, I would be way more likely to return. It is a great way to spend a day indoors during the AZ summer!
