They offer multiple slopes with different levels of difficulty. It's a great place for beginners and those wanting them or their kids to learn. This resort is year round so they offer summer activities as well. There's a lodge with a cafe that offers simpler items like nachos and chicken tenders. There's also a restaurant at top with a bar if you're wanting something more sit down. Such a fun place to visit among the rolling hills of Galena!

I read about this place in a Quad Cities "Fun Things to Do" Guide. It said they had zip lines,…read morealong with some other activities, so I thought it would be a lot of fun for my daughter & I to do. She was SO excited. When we got there it was closed. I called and talked to a very rude gentleman who said they aren't open to the public except one weekend a year. It is only for groups to use the rest of the year. I told him that we had wanted to go zip-lining and he said "Why should I open to you and only get $5 a person when I can charge $50 a person in large groups?" Well, I guess what he said makes sense, but if I were planning to book a group to go there for team building, I would surely cancel after him talking to me that way. So, sweetheart, $50 times nobody equals 0.00! You need to put in your advertisement that it is for groups only. Nowhere on your website does it say that.

Fun in theory, but the execution and staff, need improvement…read more I came to this trampoline and activity center hoping for an easygoing day with the kids, and while we made the best of it, the experience left a lot to be desired. From the moment we checked in, the energy was off. The front desk staff member who greeted us (blonde hair, long fake nails) didn't make eye contact, barely acknowledged us, and came across as unfriendly and disengaged. In a place designed for kids and families, this kind of first impression matters, and unfortunately, it set the tone. The facility includes a climbing zone, a small café, an arcade, and open space for kids to play. Marlee, who was working at the prize area, was the absolute HIGHLIGHT of our visit. She was warm, upbeat, and engaging with every child who approached her. She truly brought the kind of energy this place should be known for: fun, respectful, and interactive. If every staff member had her approach, this would be a five-star review. She deserves a promotion or at the very least, recognition. That said, the rest of the staff seemed either disinterested or unprepared to manage the space. Kids were sprinting around recklessly, bumping into others and causing minor chaos with no supervision or redirection. Staff members were either too young, too inexperienced, or simply unwilling to intervene. Several arcade machines were broken, without signage, and remained so even after it was brought to staff's attention. Kids were losing tokens repeatedly and having to return to the counter to ask for help, which became frustrating and took away from the fun. This center has potential, but what it really needs is not just updated attractions, but a serious upgrade in staff training, supervision, and customer engagement. A fun place should feel fun, safe, and welcoming--and right now, it's missing the mark.

However it is highly inefficient & some areas are very slow due to lack of following the directions they set in place. Our child waited 45 minutes for the zip line (she ultimately got sad & frustrated and went to do another activity). The staff was letting other kids from the wall climb line do zip line once they got on the set up area. This might be due to the fact the set up area holds on the harnesses. I stood in line for 10 minutes for a shake, waited an additional 10 minutes to ask someone to make the shake, and an additional 10-15 minutes for them to prepare it. 30-35 minutes for a shake shouldn't be normal. The problem is that they have 1 employee for the whole dessert & sweets counter and they had to make ice creams & other sweets for other people who came in after we paid for our shake. This shouldn't be normal protocol on a Saturday afternoon. Managers or back up staff should've been ready to step in when there was a line forming. Overall, it's got lots of fun things for the kids - but the inefficient way they run things and the zip line area is a huge miss. Ultimately creating a very sad day for our kids to start. Plan to spend 3-4 hours just to enjoy things if it's this inefficient.

I just wanted a nice place for my one year old to see and do some hands on activities. However next year we will not be coming back to this place. To begin there isn't even much of a pumpkin patch. Just a shallow and short 3 rows of pumpkins lined up in front of their barn as pictured on their website. That's pretty much it. Their website also doesn't give you much information to what exactly goes on there or the actual cost. It states Free Admission but doesn't let you know ahead of time that everything else cost money using their "ticket" system. The only animals we saw to see and pet were goats. The concession stand and other such activities are ran by what looks like all high school teenagers. This isn't as much as a big deal except when we ordered two cheeseburgers, the burgers themselves were both grilled to the point of being completely burned, beyond char grilled and both cold. The coffee my husband was served completely cold and when he asked for hot coffee the young lady added water into the coffee brewer and turned it on reusing the spent coffee! So let's just say the food was very bad. Next we sat in a very cold seating area as there was NO WHERE warm to sit and eat nor was there a place to warm up. The hot apple cider was out of the same machines you would see at a gas station and was sadly the most enjoyable part of the experience. Overall this is a place mostly for ages 8 and up and the pricing is great for only paying for activities you are interested in i.e. hay rides, mazes, and bouncy house. Had they charged an admission I would have been really upset.

The dj we had was about an hour behind w the events had to tell her to hurry things along our photographer was leaving at 8:30. She did not play hardly any of the songs on the playlist and hardly any request that night. Had to tell her multiple times to pick up the beat and play better dancing songs. When people arent dancing for 3 or 4 think you would realize that on your own if your a dj. Also had them paid until 11:30 and Donnie the owner told us that if we wanted the extra half hour just to tell her and pay her in cash but when we asked her to play the extra half hour she lied to us and told us she had to meet Donnie at another job which Donnie told me was a lie he didnt need her to meet him when I called him after to complain about her. He was to talk to her and look at her playlist to see what she played that nite. Its been a month now and he still hasnt gotten back to me. It was a total waste of money and I would not use then again.
