    Wear deodorant. It's hot in there! The signs all say No Farting because there's very little air movement, haha. I love this place!

    $15 gets you unlimited play all day. It's way bigger inside than it looks on the outside.

    Kids don't know how to play one player. Be prepared to spend a lot of time dumping balls from old games.
