    Awesome place! Great go-kart track, and the minigolf course was really fun too! Wish the lazer tag was open - they also have a rollerblade rink. Would recommend!

    Awesome place with fantastic pricing. We got the premium pass with 4 go kart, 2 laser tag, 1 VR and unlimited roller skating, ninja course etc. We spent at least 2-3 hours here easily. Both the kids and adults had a great time.

    Beyond the fact a visit can run a little expensive, the Fun Spot is the perfect place to go to if the weather sucks (rain/snow) and spend a few hours having a great time! Super kid friendly with a bunch of things for them to do and use up all that extra energy. The roller skating is a great family activity (solid music) and they have these useful little gates for first timers to help them get some stand-up time (do expect to fall though!). The have cool areas for kids to entertain themselves like laser-tag, arcades, play dens and even a ninja course! They have outside activities as well like the Go Carts and Mini-Putt. They have a food area but I didn't partake, expect the basics.

    Fun little place to waste a day. Family had a blast but we went mainly for the go karts

    Nice place to kill a few hours with the kids. Buying activities piecemeal will kill your wallet, but there are some pretty affordable combo tickets that make a visit worthwhile. Mini-golf was well maintained, go-karts were fast enough to be fun, but slow enough to be safe for kids. Arcade area was small, but I'd rather the kids be DOING things anyway! Having a legitimate old-school roller rink was a cool touch, even though we did not participate. Judging from the amount of people skating, a lot of others found it cool as well. What earns this place the 5-star rating is the service. One of my sons was a little nervous about playing Laser Tag, so a young man volunteered to walk him back and into the "arena" in between matches so he could see what it looked like and how the vest/laser worked. The young man put him completely at ease and he ended up having a blast, no pun intended. So if you're looking for a few hours to kill with your family in the Queensbury area, this is an excellent choice, and much preferred to the other similar establishment right down Route 9.

    They warned us it would get crowded later and they meant it. Six bus loads of kids! Come early, avoid crowds, and this place is great.

    This modest amusement center just down the road from Six Flags ended up being the surprise hit of our family vacation to Lake George. They have a nice mix of activities (Go-Karts, Mini Golf, Roller Skating Rink, kids play center, "Ninja Challenge", and arcade games). Our son went here every day of our trip and really enjoyed it. Activities are available individually or as a part of combo tickets. Look for discount 20% off coupons is local guides or online. On our last day we were warned a large group was coming later in the day and they meant it: 6 bus loads of kids packed the place. Fortunately we were finishing up as they arrived. If you can avoid large groups (call or just go early) this place is great fun.

Go-karts are fun, squeezed two adults into a car and it malfunctioned but they let us go another lap so it made up for it. Lasertag had a lot of ground to explore and hide in, with a side room area that I saw a preschool girl and her family playing in, if you need a smaller field safer for a younger child. Minus one star for games being out of service, two bumper cars and a handful of lasertag vests broken, and they really could use lockers for storing shoes for bounce houses, purses, umbrellas etc as they just get left at the starting gates or hold onto them in the attractions.

Many of the attractions were not open (bumper cars, indoor go-karts, kids inflatable play area), and those that were tended to be underwhelming. The go-karts were fun, and the rides were generously long, but that may have had to do with the lack of crowd size despite the beautiful weather. The go-karts themselves were wildly different in top speeds, and your success on the track was based entirely on the kart you were assigned vs. any actual ability or strategy. No big deal for us, but there was, shall we say, a slightly more competitive family who were extremely annoyed by this, and were letting everyone in earshot know about it. Most of the arcade games were older and not in the greatest condition, with a few exceptions. What was oddest of all was that I found a roll of 5,000 prize tickets just sitting on top of a closed air hockey table completely unattended. I brought them back to an employee at the concession stand and there wasn't even a thank you offered. If it happens again, maybe I'll just the 5' Angry Bird. They also wouldn't honor the Yelp Check-in offer for a free game of Laser Tag. All in all, this place has seen some better days, and both boys enjoyed playing mini-golf at the place across the parking lot far more than they did playing at Adventure Family Fun Center, but you could certainly do worse if you're looking to kill a few hours with the kids.

    We are an amusement park family, rotating annual passes or choosing to go to the bigger parks of…read moreFlorida on a particular year. In 2024, we were on a Six Flags kick and hit up as many on the east coast as we could. One last stop was to Great Escape, another of the parks within driving distance of the Boston area. Our trips to these parks farther away usually end up being multiple days, so on this visit we did a Sat/Sun visit during spooky season. As you drive along I-87, you spot SFGE off to the right. What greets you though isn't the best looking park in the world because you've got to see front and center, one of the ugliest Arrow coasters known to man. This thing has seen better days, the best thing this place could do is tear it down and put something in that spot that has a wow factor. Like yesterday, just do it. Our GPS took us right up to the park when it was typed in, whoops. Totally our fault, but we had to turn around in a hotel right next door to the park to actually go to the lot entrance, which is on the other side of the road (the sign isn't super big and you get no warning as to when it's coming). Parking in Lot #2 wasn't paved, so it was really difficult for our two kid stroller to navigate, I can't imagine how someone with a wheelchair gets around in there. Pave this next time, please. I continue to mention the two day stay, because one wasn't really pleasant at all while the other was a dream. And yes, when I say that I mean the size of the crowd. Too many unchaperoned teens running around on Saturday not really caring who they might run into or what they were saying around small kids. Sunday was nothing like that and most rides were a walk-on. The park itself is relatively clean, especially compared to its Six peers. It's probably that time of year, but why must you close down what amounts to big portion of the front of the park? I counted 6-7 rides closed the first day, including some kid rides that they were disappointed they wouldn't be getting on. They are trying to compete by adding the likes of Bobcat, the new and possibly the best entry from The Gravity Group. Find something with a small footprint like Bobcat to again, welcome people to the park, not one that your grandparents enjoyed in the 80's. That thing looks far from being any kind of "demon". The carry over items from when it was Storytown are a lot of fun, even if some of them look a bit dated. I'm just glad they decided to keep this decor, from the castle now flowing with rivers of blood for Halloween to the tiny storefronts all kids up to the age of 7 will enjoy. You can also see some of the items from the olden days on the train ride around the park. We got a meal deal for the day, where you can purchase a meal or snack every 90 minutes. As long as you get there early, this is super worth it. But what we didn't plan on was waiting in line 25 minutes to get dinner so this can hurt the timing of it all and you might miss out on a last snack at the end of your day. The nachos were stellar, the pizza I give a 4.2 on the Portnoy scale, and the chicken tenders were you know, tenders. It's amusement park food but at least none of it made us sick to go on rides. The next day we had a treat of fried dough which was super fresh and soft. Staff was hit or miss, 90% of them like most places, were helpful and nice...even if they can be tough to find beyond those working rides at times if you have questions. We ran into a few that could have been having a bad day, it can't be an easy job trying to watch out for the safety of teenage idiots all day. It's not the best Six Flags, refurbishments suck when you hope they wait until after October ends and its all closed until the spring. Some of it still needs an upgrade but overall, we enjoyed ourselves. There is still work to be done and I hope SF and the new corporate structure will continue giving this park the time and money it deserves for what is a pretty rural community. But it was still enjoyable enough to get us back some day, as long as things can remain open and staffed.

They have a huge variety of both soft serve and hard ice cream flavors, along with a ton of sundae options. Portion sizes are very generous too, both for sundaes and cones. Today I had the Chocolate Overload Sundae with Moose Tracks ice cream. It came with delicious hot fudge, little peanut butter cup pieces in the ice cream, Oreo crumbles, whipped cream, sprinkles, a cherry, and even a fun size Hershey bar on top. So good. While I was there the people in line in front of me got slushes that looked very much like bomb pop flavors. I bet there's awesome! Almost changed my choice but I stuck with my original sundae choice. I've also had their brownie sundae in the past, and that was excellent too. Trust me when I say a regular size is already pretty large. The large is enormous. This is probably my favorite ice cream place in the area, with Kurver Kreme right behind it. Another thing I really like is how quickly they move people through. Even when there's a line, I've never had to wait very long to order or get my ice cream. They also have go-karts and batting cages, which makes it a fun place overall. The go-karts aren't open until May 16th, but it's nice having those attractions there. 5 stars.

    My friend and I came here as part of our mini golf tour, and we were not disappointed. While it is…read more45 minutes from Albany, it is quick highway travel and we soon found ourselves surrounded by cornfields, trees, and hills. It felt like we were in the middle of nowhere, and it was very peaceful. The course is $10.50 a person, but that includes UNLIMITED play for that day. So, it turns out to be a good value if you want to play multiple rounds. The holes are pretty simplistic, but many present multiple paths to the cup including some hidden tubes and channels. If you aren't familiar with the course, I would recommend scoping out each hole before putting. It is a basic course scenery wise: no water hazards, no real sand traps (just gray colored carpet which matches the rest of the green fairway), no jumps, no windmills, etc. There was an intersting tunnel and covered bridge which you played through, and a few other novelty holes with multiple staggered greens that broke up the monotony. That being said, we really enjoyed it. It was more strategic than we first thought, and the cups were for the most part fair (they didn't stick out of the ground causing frustrating rim-shots that plague other courses). All the trees/hills/rocks made it impossible to see the whole course from one place, which isolated us and allowed us to feel like we were the only ones there (until that group of kids caught up... we let them play through). As an aside, the owner woman was extremely friendly and dished out a good scoop of Hershey's ice cream too! This was a fun course.

    Part 17 of our comprehensive review of every mini-golf place within an hour's driving distance of…read morethe Capital Region quadrangle moves us to the bucolic setting of the Schoharie Valley, where we tried Gobbler's Knob. The complex includes bungee jumping and a simple but nice driving range, plus what looks like a very nice Par-3 golf course. You can rent golf clubs for the Par 3, and for both the mini-golf and par 3, you pay once and can play all day. There's a basic snack bar with sketcy-looking hot dogs and ice cream, three sad arcade games, and one actual-working pinball machine in the snack shack. There is also a picnic pavilion, although this seems to be rental only. This review, as ever, is only for the mini-golf portion. I note there's a go-kart place on the same drive, but it's run as a completely separate business with different hours. If you want to combine activities, as we did, it's tricky because the go-kart place is run as a side business and the hours are a bit erratic. Pricing is simple: $6 for 5 years old and up, free for 4 and under, one price lets you play all day. Bring the scorecard back to the clubhouse to get a fresh ball and scorecard after hitting the ball into the outhouse on Hole 18. This is a mostly putt-only course, with a few hazard holes that have a little bit of a theme to them. Obstacles are mostly rocks and hills/dips; a few former sand traps have been replaced with painted astroturf, which looks really tacky. It shows the signs of some originality but at least some of the holes are cookie cutter. The holes are on a paved concrete path, surrounded by nice flowers, but make sure you turn left to start out - the holes aren't marked well, with no flags and only an embossed number in the concrete for each hole to tell you where you are. The setting, as noted, is absolutely lovely: there's a farm silo nearby, mountain views in all directions, and a nice lake. There's a creek running into the lake but there was no water running into it. Very disappointingly, there was what looks like a watercourse in part of the course, at least a fountain-mountain, that was dry, and even if there was water running they didn't incorporate water into any of the holes. A mini-golf course with no water hazards is a real waste, IMHO, and given there's natural water here, this is especially sad. The holes weren't terribly challenging, and a number of them had problems with wear on the astroturf surface, including a few with very annoying seams that actually went through the hole (see picture) that made them difficult plays. That said, the course was swept and blown of debris, and the staff were very nice and accommodating. Best holes are #9 (a covered bridge you can walk under), #11 (a deceptive three-tiered hole that had us wondering where our balls had gone), and #15, a walk-through fibreglass "cave" sponsored by nearby Howe's caverns. There's ads/sponsorship for some of the holes, but only the Howe's cavern hole is related to a theme at all; a pity, since the Schoharie Valley offers history from the French and Indian War to Hurricane Irene that easily lends itself to mini-golf themes. #18 Is an "outhouse" where you subtract strokes from your score for hitting it into a skee-ball like target, with the ball disappearing; no free-game-for-hole-in-one, but since it's play-all-day it doesn't matter that much here. There are three two-tiered holes, which is fun, but on none of the holes where there's a "trick shot" are you rewarded with a hole in one. I'm quite torn about the rating here, because the course itself as a course is only a very average three, and wiithout the water features it's a bit plain. The maintenance is also only average, the nice daily maintenance countered by worn turf and bad seams. But it's a very nice outdoors setting, off the road, and at $6 for play all day it's a pretty decent price if you play twice. But still, you will get bored about halfway through the second round. We're on the fence between three and four stars, so will give it a nudge to four based on kind staff, with the understanding it's a middle of the road mini-golf course among the region's offerings if judged on pure playing.
