Our family comes to Port Austin every year and today was the first time we came. Highly recommend this place for the adults and kids! The go carts were so much fun and the staff was super friendly! We will definitely be making this one of our yearly stops. Thank you again to Jason and Matthew for making our first experience one for the books!
Very kind and helpful staff. A great family place. We have chosen to come here for a fun day many times, even though it is 2 hrs away from us.
Loved this place! My children are 4, 5, & 7 years old. They had a blast. The go-karts were awesome. The trampoline and paintball were very enjoyable for them. And the staff was extremely patient and friendly. Would definitely recommend stopping here when you're in the area.
The staff is very kind and sweet, very helpful! my cousin and I went on the trampoline, did paint ball, and in the past have done go karts, I’ve been coming for at least 5 years and I absolutely love it here. And the older woman that own the place was very kind in handing out pin wheel toys to the kids. They have fresh coats of paint too! Definitely recommend
