    I've enjoyed this place the 4-5 times I've been here for some beers. Today I brought the family and…read morethe food was good, the service was awful. Showed up with the family, waited to be seated, not greeted given a "Imma putcha here" and slaps the table. Waitress seemed annoyed we were there, was on her phone most of the time, dropped the food off and that was the last we saw her until we felt very much pushed out the door. I had a pocket full of quarters left for my kids to play before close, all while my wife has a moral dilemma of what to tip this person because it's their livelihood despite the awful job. I like this place, but I'm done eating and going to places where employees can sit on their phones and ignore people. There's plenty of places that don't allow it.

I didn't get a chance to try out their signature brews but the menu was extensive and varied, so I'm excited to come back. Located conveniently on 2nd Ave, its a great place to let your kids roam while you enjoy the local beer and vibe. The games are fun for adults too, and are one of the only things left that haven't been impacted by inflation. Old school pinball machines and a variety of other games to choose from in between your drinks or even as you eat. Loved the corned beef pizza - a st. pattys day special

    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.

    This is for the new location by the airport - the staff are nice kids & adults managing seem…read morefriendly. 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.

First time I went I was I felt racially discriminated against, I am a white male, the line was long at the concession stand, I was next in line after waiting my turn, an African American girl opened the next register over on the other side of the candy bins, she looked directly past me and point out an African American couple and stated to them that they were next, the couple were 4 people behind me, yet a whites were even behind them, wow, yes, I was discriminated against because I was white, I advised the manager, he seemed intimidated by the topic, I guess whites do not get racially discriminated against (BS). I was next in line, I should have been called over, as I waited my turn. Nope. The second time, yesterday, another customer was on his cell phone constantly, having a bright cell phone screen light facing the audience was too distracting, I left I told the manager, no refund, no checking the show area, just nothing, a manager that can not manage. No more. Not returning. There is another theater in Cedar Rapids, by cash will go there.

    Everything is about the same as SkyZone, but doesn't seem to be getting maintained at all…read more Climbing wall has a lot of loose, spinny holds which is dangerous, the swinging arm and platform jump you need an employee to operate, but the employees are just sitting on their phones and don't give a shit. Why employers allow employees to be on their phones is mind boggling to me. I guess the only help you can find for cheap is zombies now. I had to hunt them down to ask them for the kids each time and they were bickering over who should have to do it, then they gave them only a few jumps before shutting it down. The dodgeball area has a couple of deflated volleyballs and 3 dodgeballs, as if you could play a game with that amount. The arcade games have all been jacked up to ridiculous prices. Who is going to pay $1 to play Galaga? Get real. I didn't get any food, but I already can tell you it's going to suck. The reason they don't get 1 star is because the cashiers were nice and the ninja course is still fun, but I won't be back.

    I have been to skyzone 3 times over the last 2.5-3 months and everytime my family and I have been…read morethere we have seen the same biracial boy ostracized, and isolated from his peers. While there we noticed the other employees rotating to different areas while the same boy was made to stay in an area working where no other staff communicated with him. I don't know if it is a racial issue or not, but the same manager has been on everytime my family and I have been there, Pam needs to realize that this boy has rights too, and be a better person! We will not be returning to skyzone after witnessing this.

    FYI This is coming from someone who has a prominent online card stores through Ebay, Mercari, and…read moreTCG player. I average a minimum 200 sales a month. I walked in there yesterday to check it out since i like to check stores and see how their prices are, how their staff operates, and the basic aesthetics of said store front. Spent a lot of time in retail environments because of my mother so these things are second nature to me For starters the layout is awful like a jumbled mess. Case for pokemon cards was hidden by a shelf in the back of the store. Zero supervision. Looked to be no cameras. I could have swiped that whole case and walked out since the staff there had one guy helping customers and the rest sitting on their phones. That's something big that should be addressed and i wonder how much inventory they have actually lost due to the incompetence or ignorance of the staff as a unit. After standing back there for about 5 to 10 mins i walked out of the store unnoticed then came back in and asked for assistance. Not so much as a welcome or a see you again but hard to do that when your nose deep in what i would guess are tiktok's/reels Anyways, I figured i'd buy what looked to be 3 damaged cards before the owner started throwing stock at me he hadn't even went through/priced yet while bragging about buying collections at or under 60% and later bragging on lowballing people on binders with expensive cards. This is why people don't like card shops 90% of these guys are out to screw you and want to live on these 40%+ profit margins and thats is why places like this FAIL after 5 years but that is besides the point. looking most of the case i can tell you it was LP-/MP/HP/DMG cards all listed at NM/PSA 7/8 prices for raw cards One of the damaged cards was a 1st edition he claimed was LP. Saw the dents on the back when he pulled them out of the case. The other 2 he couldn't hide the fact were damaged. Grabbed 4 cards from his stock that hadn't made it to the case or been looked at according to him and grabbed them for way under what they should have been in that condition I definitely overpaid on the 3 damaged cards but, for me personally, isnt a big deal since i have the means to do so and i always try to buy from every card shop i come by. Overall I would not buy TCG through this shop 100%. Staff looks to be very lazy. The layout, from a retail sense, is god awful and doesn't highlight whats hot right now nor funnels customers through the store with any consistent flow. The owner isn't as knowledgeable as he seems and could definitely improve in that aspect. There is potential but its gonna take said owner not employee lazy friends who sit on their phones and employing people with tangible assets and actual skills when it comes to floor planning and stocking/organizing.

    Best place to buy Pokémon cards and the people are really nice and cool video game Selectionread more
