This is for Lenten fish fry: ATMOSPHERE - This is one of the…read morebiggest VFWs I've been to. There's a large bar area, then in an adjoining room is a dinning space with another bar. It's very patriotic as you might imagine. There were lots of kids around, and everyone knew each other, which was lovely except there was a "you don't belong" attitude by some. In particular, the server in the bar in the dinning area ignored my two girlfriends to the point of taking an order from a gentleman standing BEHIND them. Thankfully the gentleman called her on it, and made her take their order. And I'm glad to say that was the only person who was openly rude. In fact, the people at the fish fry were all super friendly. FISH - The set up here is really great. You wait in line to pay, then the line becomes a line for the buffet. It's great to be able to fill up your own plate. The buffet table had baked beans, macaroni & cheese, dinner rolls, boiled potatoes with parsley, cole slaw, and of course, fish. A new serving of freshly fried fish came out every few minutes to replenish the buffet table. The fish had a breading type of batter (rather than a light fluffy batter.) It was light and flakey, hot and crispy, it was wonderful. COST - $10, this was a steal! EXTRAS - When we were there former Gov. Pawlenty and his family showed up. Plus or negative, that's your call.

Everyone raves about their Lenten Friday fish fries (we used to volunteer with or scout troop to…read morehelp bus tables), but fish has never been something I enjoy. We usually go with my parents after church on Saturdays. Most of the tables in the bar area are high top, and we have a 9-month old, so that can be difficult if all the lower tables are taken. But they do have high chairs available that work fine at the lower tables. Their food is always good, affordable, and out to your table quick. If it's crazy-busy with people ordering food, it might take a while, since I've never seen more than one cook in their small kitchen (they have another one that gets used for fish fries), but we've never had a problem, since most people are just ordering drinks. They only part that's a bit of a bummer for us, is that if you order a pop (the hubbs and I don't usually order alcoholic beverages), it comes in a small solo cup, and you have to pay for a refill (I'm sure that's part of being a bar). We each typically order a water and a pop right away, then we don't go thirsty or have to pay for another small pop.

It's easy to order food and drinks at the bar and you can seat yourself at any table. They usually have whirlyball courts open but it is easier to reserve. It's nice if you have a big group you can switch players out since the games are about 10 minutes. You can reserve for the hour and add time if needed. They also have so many other things available here like bowling, escape rooms and a small arcade area. Food is decent, good options. Really good when it's hot and fresh!

For a group of ~20 it was perfect: I believe 10 can play at a time so we got to switch in and out. The game itself is a mix of lacrosse and number cars - even more fun than I expected, and our group of ~30 year olds plus some parents had a blast. They also have an arcade, bowling, and an escape room - plus probably other stuff I missed! They had tables you could book/reserve which is nice and service drinks and food like pizzas.

The place was filling up quickly due to the meat raffle but we secured a table in the back. Service was extremely slow. Slow to get drinks, order and bill. I only saw one waitress in our section of 10 tables. Not her fault, more management/scheduling. We eventually got our order taken and the food eventually came out. Everything tasted good (enough), but nothing that I would need to just have again. We were done and ready for the bill. Didn't see the waitress for ~15 mins. When she did appear, she was helping other tables (orders, tabs). I tried to get her attention but she was a lady on a mission. I ended up just getting up, putting on my coat and purse, and stood next to my table waiting to get our bill. Paid with cash because I was not going to wait for my CC. Decor: what you would expect in an average bar. Thin carpet, laminate table tops, black leather, padded chairs (no rips), wood paneling, adequate lighting. Didn't venture into the restrooms so don't know how clean or stocked they are. Patio looks welcoming but too chilly for the fall. Plenty of parking. Easy access from hwy 65.

The Explore Pass allows "free" entry and limited access to some of the activities--bumper cars, laser tag, ball fort, laser maze, and a 360° video game.

We walked in unsure what to do and stood next to two staff at the front desk for a couple minutes before being greeted. We used our explorer pass from Groupon which allowed for a visit do try most of the attractions.

What we could use was fun the bumper cars and arcade were favorites for our five year old. We purchased an additional pass for the bumper cars he had to go again. Overall it was okay for the prices, but there are other options around the cities if you're willing to spend a little more.
