When we visit our son in Texas, I like to find fun stuff for us to do. I found Cory's Gaming Bistro and I tell you we had a super, fun day. The food was delicious. They had vegan food for our son, a plus. Jay, our instructor, was wonderful and patient and a lot of fun to talk to. This was our first time throwing axes. Of course, my husband and son were great it. I, on the other hand, did my best. All in all, it was a totally awesome day and we will definitely do it, again. I'm going to have to request Jay, again because he was a sweetie!! Thanks for the great food and great instructor. Axe-excellent!!!!!

We visited KidMania after finding it online when seeing an indoor activity for our children (4 & 2). The kids had a great time at the facility. The ‘maze’ playground was multiple levels high with slides and plenty of climbing. It’s even made that adults can go in it with the kids if necessary. There’s also a smaller playground specifically for kids 3 and under. There are also plenty of games and small rides priced very reasonably ($0.50-$1.00), and the opportunity to earn tickets for prizes if desired. They also offer many choices for food at good prices although we did not partake. The facility was cleaned, well-maintained and very kid-friendly. The staff working the desk was very friendly and helpful. We will return if we’re ever back in the area. Don’t miss out on this place if you have kids 10 and under, especially during the colder months.

We went to Madness on a Saturday night with the boys to play some games! Om: Madness is such a fun place if you are into any kind of board game/card game/miniature game! We love going there to play such games as Ticket to Ride, Space Hulk, Gravwell, King of Tokyo, Jaipur, and other non-traditional board games…although we were pretty close to breaking out Monopoly on this night! There are plenty of people around playing all types of games, and they don’t mind having someone watch and learn. The store itself is LOADED with games and comics, easily the biggest that we’ve seen. This is a regular stop for us AT LEAST once a month, and a place that we really feel like is “ours” because it’s become such a staple in our life. I love coming here with my wonderful Nom! Nom: Even if you have NO interest in comics you should take a few minutes to check out Madness. I could argue that it really has something for most everyone. You can check out their massive selection of comics, bobble heads and gifts, comic storage, and of course games! Then they have a large section of their store where you can play games! We even saw some folks playing classic Monopoly! They also have a snack bar area so that if you are a tag along with someone playing a game you can watch and have a tasty snack! It’s really the best of all worlds! I love Madness with my handsome love…one of “our” places!!!
5. Aqua Shop Indoor Surfing
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 19 reviews
This is the first time a FlowRider has been installed in a store rather than a water park or cruise ship. It's an amazing experience, combining the action-packed thrills of surfing, bodyboarding, and wakeboarding: just ride the wave, using your skill and experience to stay in control. If you do wipe out (and you will!), the soft padded floor makes the FlowRider perfectly safe. It's as much fun to watch as it is to ride, but we warn you, it's very addictive.

Went for my nephews birthday party! What a great choice! Plenty to do without being a "gaming warehouse". The 2 bowling areas allow for a more adult experience and still have a kids party nearby. The staff was outstanding! From the check in for bowling to the bar! The wait staff is attentive and gave outstanding service. As a side note: There was even a event to support homeless veterans. They back the community and our troops. Just another great reason to go!
