    Great indoor fun for kids of all ages. Located right next to Kalahari Resorts, this adventure park is a perfect place to enjoy rides, games, bowling, go karts etc. The high ropes and zipline is a lot of fun. They have passed away for unlimited rides for a day : Persons 42" tall and up: $44.99 Children under 42" tall: $19.99 Fun Adventure Park for the whole family. Go check it out.

    I wasn't sure what to expect with low reviews but we got free passes to Tom Foolery's through our resort's partner program so we had nothing to lose in giving this place a try. There is a lot to do here: huge arcade, go karts, shooting gallery dark ride, laser tag, virtual reality games, amusement park rides, high ropes courses, climbing wall, mini golf, and a bowling alley. There is so much to do here, you could easily spend a day here if your kids are old and tall enough. We easily blew an afternoon here and our kids had a blast with all of the rides and games. We enjoyed everything we tried. If you don't want to pay for a day pass you can also buy each item al a carte but that might add up fast if you have multiple kids. Great indoor place to take advantage of if you are in the area, added bonus if you get free passes from a partnership resort, the value cannot be beat!

    First I have to state the obvious. Tom Foolerys is associated with Kalahari - an African themed water park. Yet all the characters in Tom Foolerys appear to be caucasian and also able bodied. TF ...do better! Now, overall we did enjoy the park. We added park passes before our stay for $120 for four of us...and it was good for all days...score! The first two days we only did wristband activites....its quite a bit of activities to be done with jist the wristband pass. We loved laser tag the most. Although atomic rush was awesome since I won all the time. The mini golf course was so awesome with the.black light. My hubby and son did the ropes course and loved it

    We stayed at the resort for three nights and purchased passes to Tom Foolery's that lasted the length of our stay. Three nights is perfect for this park and the indoor water park during the winter months. No lines at all during our stay one week before Christmas. The passes were on our wrist bands which also got us into the water park and our room. We had seven five adult children who really enjoyed this adventure park. Our family favorites were the ropes course, zip line and the go-carts. We probably spent more time here than the water park. Our room was much closer so it made for an easy walk. They had a lot of other attractions we enjoyed such as the laser tag and miniature golf. The arcade was also fun but can be expensive if you are not careful.

    The ride my children were locked into when the building was evacuated due to the alarms going off.

    I was there on Sunday March 28th and the fire alarm went off at Tom Foolery's. My sons became locked in this ride while the rest of the building was being evacuated. It took several minutes for them to unlock the ride because it's computer shut off. One of my sons was completely terrified and never wants to go back. If there was a true emergency, this could have ended very, very badly. I have tried to reach out to Kalahari about this. I have called and emailed with no response. They do not seem to care.

    RIP OFF - for 25 dollars you can play like 6 times - does that's sound reasonable for kids?

    Big Chief Go Karts has the potential to be a fun family activity. The outdoor track itself is nice,…read moreand I can see why people are drawn to it. Unfortunately, I can't recommend it for younger kids because the safety measures simply aren't where they should be. There was very little guidance from staff, no shoulder harnesses, and no padding on the steering wheel. During parking, be prepared for kids crashing into the back of your kart, which resulted in more than a few cases of unexpected whiplash. What concerns me most is that this isn't a new issue. If you read through previous reviews, you'll find the same safety concerns being raised going back nearly 10 years. At some point, this stops being an oversight and starts looking like a choice. Height requirements alone aren't enough... there should also be a minimum age requirement (I'd suggest around 13 years old). For comparison, we also visited Tom Foolery's go-karts during our trip. They were actually $1 cheaper and had shoulder harnesses, padding, and a system that automatically slows karts down during parking and to help manage accidents. I truly hope Big Chief addresses these concerns, because with better safety standards, this could be a much different review.

    It was lots of fun for the money. My kids loved it. People shouldn't expect the world but they…read morewill. We went twice and looking forward to returning there this summer. Here in S FL, go kart riding is $50 per person. Enjoy the ride!

    We came here to celebrate our wedding anniversary and the 4th of July. We thought about staying…read morehere but the room prices were too expensive. We had dinner reservations at their Double Cut Steakhouse. Our server told us about a fireworks show at dusk there so we walked over to the convention area and they had lots of seats set up for the public to sit which was nice. This place is HUGE - they own so much space here. I was really surprised. The fireworks show was really good. It went on for awhile. We enjoyed it. I think we dodged a bullet with the parking because we were there for dinner. You had to go past an attendant who had a sign by him that parking was $25 per car. When we told him we had dinner reservations, he let us go through. All in all, a good experience. Detailed review of the steakhouse in a separate review.

    Someone from the resort (or corporate, allegedly) reached out around 5:15 PM the night after all…read morethis. The conversation was... let's call it politely vague. A lot of "we're sorry" energy, not a lot of actual substance. She did say they were putting a credit on our account for the trouble. Cool. Great. Love that for us. Except... shockingly... there was no credit on the folio at checkout. Not hidden, not partial, not mislabeled. Just straight up not there. Which honestly feels perfectly on brand for the entire experience. Promise something, deliver vibes. Also, fun little bonus: apparently when you complain, they tag your account internally. So now I've got the digital equivalent of a frowny face next to my name for having the audacity to expect basic competence. Appreciate that. Love the one employee brave enough to mention it though. And for anyone who's seen their social media replies where they say "our leadership team will follow up" or "we'll make this right"... I've got zero evidence that any of that actually happens in a meaningful way. It reads like customer service theater. Lots of optics, very little follow-through. If anyone from corporate is reading this, maybe audit that pipeline, because from the outside it looks completely disconnected from reality. Now for the actual stay. Miserable doesn't even begin to cover it. Checked in at a kiosk, which should have been the easy part, until a staff member decided personal boundaries were optional and started tapping my screen like it was a demo unit at Best Buy. I explicitly said I didn't want a charge-enabled wristband, and they added it anyway. Nothing builds trust like unauthorized spending access tied to your room. Then came the wristband confusion: two different colors, zero explanation, and the distinct feeling I'd accidentally joined a very disorganized timeshare. Check-in took about 80 minutes. Not exaggerating. That included a completely unnecessary trek back to the main lobby from the Hillside building because apparently this place runs on side quests. At that point it felt less like a resort and more like a low-budget escape room where the prize is a working room key. Speaking of which, the room door didn't work. So that was a fun little encore. Just sitting there waiting for maintenance like it's the final act of a very boring play. Pro tip: block off 2 to 3 hours for check-in. Bring snacks. Maybe a novel. Even if they offered me three free nights, I'd pass. Some experiences are just too memorable, and not in the way they were going for. NEVER GOING BACK

    GET YOUR WINGS**…read more What some might consider a kiddie coaster is actually far, far rougher than the diminutive statistics would imply. Back when the park was called Big Chief Carts & Coasters, Pegasus was the 2nd major ride to be installed (in '96), following Cyclops in 1995. It's geared more towards younger guests, and aside from a few fleeting moments of airtime, this CCI woodie offers little in the thrill department. .....Unless you consider bodily harm to be 'thrilling.' Riding in the front row, I bruised a rib on one of the elevated turns when the train violently slammed me to the left side of the boxy PTC (Philadelphia Toboggan Company) train. From what I saw, not a single turn was banked in the slightest, which is okay at lesser speeds. Unfortunately the front of the train carries a good deal of momentum into the bank-less curves, which results in abrupt and painful lateral G's. The back row doesn't seem to witness this as much, since by the time the rear of the train navigates the turn, the train as a whole is traveling much slower. Injuries aside, Pegasus is pretty tame. It's unique in that it circles a go-kart track below it, but as it reaches a top speed of only 40mph, hardened coaster enthusiasts might find Pegasus to be too mild for their liking. As with all the other coasters here, only one train is in operation and this seats no more than 16 riders at a time, so the queue moves at a snail's pace. Nevertheless, it's 1 of 4 wooden coasters at Mt Olympus and is still worth your time, provided that the line is under half an hour. I'd recommend that front row riders prepare themselves for a jarring experience. _____ **My tagline works on multiple levels, since it's partly a reference to the mythical flying horse but also a nod to the fact that first time coaster riders can cut their teeth on this wooden coaster.....thus earning their 'wings'. Clever, aye! Thanks, I'll be here all week. Remember to tip your waitresses.
