Ralphie's Fun Center

Reviewed By JFStanley - Toomsuba, United States

Family that lives in the area told us about this place - and good thing too because I don't think we would have noticed it otherwise. It has "everything" - bowling, skating, arcade, laser tag, black-light mini-golf, indoor bounce houses, and other specialty things. Heck, even the grill there was pretty good. It cost a pretty penny to take 5 children to it (we bought the arm bands), but it let us be able to let the little ones go play on whatever they wanted, whenever they wanted. The staff was helpful and friendly.
