This is a local theater with extremely talented individuals. With the new theater under construction, one can see the possibility of the shows advancing to an even higher level, if that is possible.

Over the last 14 years, I have taken many groups of teenagers to play laser tag all around central Florida...this is by FAR the best one I have ever played. This two-story arena is fun and clean. The equipment is top notch. The selfie function on the gun, so you take a picture at the beginning of the round, is awesome. It allows you to instantly see a picture of who shot you and where they shot you. The GameZone is huge and has a variety of games for all ages and skill levels. Bowling was great, as always. Overall it is a great family fun center that has something for everyone! I will be going back this weekend!

We spent several fun days in parks in and about Orlando, but our grandchildren said that Legoland topped everything. We really enjoyed the lego villages in the center of the park and also the many many lego animals, people, etc. Almost 40 years ago we had been to Cypress Gardens and that was one of the main reasons my husband & I wanted to go to Legoland, because we heard that you can still see some of the old Cypress Gardens that had been closed for years. We were impressed at how well the garden part was kept, not quite as nice as long ago, but we thought it looked taken care of and we thoroughly enjoyed seeing it again. We also really enjoyed the pirate show, especially becuase it was similar to the Cypress Gardens water ski show we saw many years ago, with of course a pirate twist. We actually watched it twice.
