    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?

    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

    We recently visited the Great Wolf Lodge for a winter escape with our 1.5 year old and it was a…read moresuccessful trip! We stayed in a single king room and were pleasantly surprised with how much space we had, it didn't feel cramped even with all the toddler gear. Both the hotel and the waterpark were consistently clean throughout our stay. For a high traffic family resort this was impressive and much appreciated. The wave pool and dedicated toddler area were a huge hit. Our little dude had a blast and it was great to have a safe, age appropriate space for him to explore. The lodge is due for some updates, specifically the waterpark equipment - the water jet skis in the toddler area were all broken and material was visibly chipping. While my toddler didn't notice the cosmetic wear, as a parent it is a little worrisome. I'd say visiting in the winter was the perfect way to beat the cold, though it did limit us to indoor sections. We're definitely curious to return when it's warmer to see how the outdoor area fairs. Overall a great choice for families with toddlers, but hopefully, management will invest in some much needed repairs to the play features soon!

    Horrendous customer service. I reserved the deluxe room through Expedia, with a fireplace. When I…read moregot there, they put me into a regular room that had a rancid disgusting smell. I complained to the front desk. They said they cannot do anything about the deluxe room, but they moved me to another standard room, which was ok, but not what I paid for. The whole experience was extremely inconvenient and took over an hour of my vacation time. I typically don't post bad reviews like this unless the place is really bad. I communicated with their management to try to work this out. They basically told me to go pound sand and to deal with Expedia. Expedia told me it's Great Wolf Lodge problem not their problem. With so many other nice water parks in the area, why would I come back to this sh*thole?

This downtown location is exclusively bouldering (lower climbs without ropes), and it challenges both my mind and body as I figure out how to successfully reach the top! If your new to climbing, ask the front desk about how to get started! The only downside to this gym is that it can be a bit pricey, varying based on what kind of membership you pick. In total though, it tends to be the same as what you might pay for a nice yoga studio. Definitely a lot pricier than, say, Planet Fitness. Lastly, this space is very welcoming! If you are part of the LGBTQ community, they have special Queer Climbing events at the start of each month! These events are discounted and a great way to meet other climbers.

Very weird atmosphere...it's more like a social club for college students; most of the climbers just gather around in small groups in front of the routes and talk predominately more than they climb. They mostly just perch down in front of the walls and talk and maybe climb a route once every half-hour. This is a little unfortunate because it's a very small place and they do have places for people to sit and talk and tables outside the area of the climbing, but no one uses them. It would be really nice to sense a change in their business model and see them market to rock climbers and get more energy going in the place with a stronger rock-climbing culture instead of ethnic-culturally centered and queer society, but I guess that's probably the majority of the people who pay for memberships so maybe they don't have a choice.
