This place is fantastic. My sons love everything; the arcade, the dark ride, the outside rides, the go-kart track, the mini golf, “shopping” for their prizes, Ballocity...when I say they love everything, I mean it! The food is good, the restrooms are always clean which I really really appreciate, and the staff is friendly. I have nothing bad to say about Fun Fore All. My husband and I enjoy it just as much as the kids! Check out their seasonal events too, like Halloween mini golf. For what you get at this place, the prices can’t be beat. We have to drive 40 minutes to get to Fun Fore All and we don’t mind, it’s that good!

Blue Star Museum
Purchase tickets at Visitor's Center. Gift shop. Movie. Museum. Toilets.

We left our picnic lunch in the lobby while we viewed the movie and museum. Once those were done, we collected our picnic and walked 2-3 blocks to the lovely picnic area. Shaded, with plenty of picnic benches, trash cans, and handicapped toilets. Overlooking the gardens.

While we visited in the summer, it was a weekday and we had much of the museum to our selves. Plenty of room the gardens for kids to run, but organized enough that they shouldn't be wild. My children loved the sensitive plant, one simply puffed at it and half the leaves closed! others stroked it gently and the leaves also closed.

I noted the thatched roof on the out building beyond the gardens.

We toured a few buildings, the kids were less interested in this. Many of the furnishings were Victorian.

It was interesting to hear the main clock only had a hour hand since the group minded the hours, and let God direct the minutes (details) of their lives.

Kelly's An Irish Pub - A Caribbean Islan

Reviewed By JUDY W - PITTSBURGH, PA

The summer Caribbean Island is nice ambiance but the food and drinks are lacking. The drinks are watered down. The food is mediocre to bad. The fries are cold and greasy. It's too bad that they spend all that money to haul in sand and palm trees and skimp on the food. I suggest they quit watering the drinks and get a real chef who can produce good food.

Wow, Sky Zone Leetsdale is an action-packed blast for young and old! They have many trampolines and supervised fun the young! They also make so that the little ones are on their own supervised trampoline and the teens and etcetera are in different areas! Sky Zone Leetsdale exceeded my expectations!

It's okay- the candy is delicious BUT it is very expensive. The staff could be friendlier. I would recommend this to those not on a budget looking for good chocolate.

Reviewed By Murveman - Easton, Pennsylvania

I've been to many many Arcades over the years. I'm also pretty obsessed with emulating classic Arcade games through MAME and other programs. Wherever you go you see the same old arcade games among a couple of rarities here and there. As a result, I've grown tired of spending money on Arcade games and have been opting for Pinball Galleries instead.

I'll get to the pinball, but this Arcade had the best collection I've ever seen. I couldn't believe it when I saw Warrior by Vectorbeam and Boot Hill and Dog Patch by Midway. They even had Death Race, which is so old it doesn't even use a ROM image. They also had several sit down cabinets (including Fire Truck, a really old co-op classic). The huge array of analogue shooting games were also amazing. Such old technology. I could have spent 4 hours playing arcade games alone, but we had a time limit, so I only spent 2 hours playing them. Then came the pinball...

Out of the many pinball galleries I've been to I've only seen one Atari Pinball game. This place had at least three. They're not remotely fun to play, but you do get to experience them here. They also had several multi-level pinball tables. Black Hole and Haunted House were there, but there was also The Spirit, which I wasn't familiar with and had never played before. They also had Hyperball and the 2-player versus Joust Pinball, which I had always wanted to play. They also had an impressive array of electro-mechanicals, though I have to say the Silver Ball Museum in Asbury Park New Jersey still has them beat in that department. Of note was also Bally's Spectrum, a fast-paced table I had never seen before, and my all-time favorite Cleopatra.

What's more, everything was in excellent condition. I'd say only two machines out of a billion had issues, which is pretty excellent.

The price was nice and the selection was nicer. I'm so incredibly jealous of the people who live in Western PA. The Silver Ball Museum is nice, but this is by far the best Arcade I've ever been to. If I'm ever in Pittsburgh again I know I'm coming here.

I only wish they could locate a couple of Bally Sente Arcade Games (Hat Trick and Off the Wall for example) or some Zaccaria Pinball tables (I've only seen one in person at the Allentown Pinball Expo). Also a Bagatelle Machine or Ice Cold Beer would be nice. The owner seems to be quite the collector, so maybe some day.

Sheffield Bowling Lanes

Reviewed By Executive_in_Jeans - Denver

Eat, Drink, Bowl: Life is Good! This is the theme of Sheffield Bowling Lanes.

This is not your Father’s Bowling Alley. The management has re-done this 20 lane bowling alley, turning it into a state of the art fun place. The 20 lanes are immaculate and completely automated so all you have to do is bowl and have fun.

If you want more than bowling, enjoy the menu featuring Pizza, Burgers, Hot Sandwiches, Salads and your typical hot snack food. The food was delish and I would not be surprised to see this joint featured on TV someday as the food is done right.

Looking for more than bowling? This place has a separate bar area where you can get craft beer, local beer, a full bar of distilled spirits and everything is at a reasonable price. This is one of the most economical places to drink in my book.

Looking for more value and entertainment? Check out the website. This is the home of the fallout shelter which features DJ’s and live bands. Cover charges are usually $5. Can you find a better entertainment value in Beaver County? NOT! This is the place to go. There is also a cigar club.

I was there for a High School Reunion in July. I was amazed at the renovation. From updated bathrooms to the pristine bowling lanes, this place is the go-to-place for eating, drinking, bowling and entertainment. If you are looking for a place to host a group, you can find it at Sheffield Bowling Lanes. I live in Denver now but I would absolutely have a family reunion here when I come to visit again.

The Tull Family Theater

Reviewed By movietheaterfan - Treasure Island, Florida

Wow! I am ready to move to Sewickley just be able to be close to such a incredible theater. When you walk into the theater you welcomed with feeling like you are coming into a friend's home. The entrance area and snacks appealing and service rapid - stroll into one of the intimate incredibly comfortable theaters. Seats cushioned and spacious. The acoustics are amazing. You are not blasted with uncomfortable noise like so many theaters have. Picture quality superb.

We have been to Tull theater 4 times so far. So spoiled to be enjoy a movie and walk through the village have dinner at one of their many restaurants.
Definitely FIVE star evenings!
