Theme & Amusement Parks in North Tonawanda

From bungee trampolines that launch people up to four stories in the air to fast-paced rounds of outdoor laser tag, kids get their first taste of adrenaline while exploring Adventure Village's three acres of family attractions. If the trampolines aren't enough, guests can slip into a harness and scale a 25-foot climbing wall. Kids can also have fun planted firmly on the ground. Baseballs buzz through the air in nine batting cages that serve up both softballs and baseballs at up to 90 miles per hour. Kids also carom off of one another in round bumper cars that give drivers the surreal thrill of piloting a giant hockey puck.

A more laid-back form of recreation awaits at the miniature golf course, where guests navigate through tricky corridors lined with five waterfalls and six ponds. Perched atop a swinging wooden bridge, players can study the wooden ruins of two partially sunken ships that rise above the glassy waters or the fish swimming around the murky derelicts. The course also features trivia about South Ontarian history and geography, giving guests all the information they need to finally impress the ghostly teacher that haunts their dreams.

The minds behind Ultimate Laser Tag have developed leagues, parties, and day camps around the game of laser tag, as they've learned from experience that it’s a fun way to interact with friends and family. Leagues accommodate laser cowboys of all skill levels and 10-gallon-hat designs, and parties let kids slink through the space-age-rainforest ruins of the laser-tag arena before monkeying around at the facility's colourful playground. Day camps pack in the activities, highlighting Ultimate Laser Tag's goal of getting people off the couch, with laser tag and rock climbing alongside imagination-boosting events, such as talent shows where kids can get on stage and lick their elbows for a wider audience.

Replete with a five-level jungle gym and rock-climbing walls, Lil’ Monkeys Indoor Playgrounds’ 15,000-square-foot fun center has won more than 15 best of awards from the Burlington Post, the Hamilton Spectator, and the Flamborough Review. In the play area In this environment adorned with palms and a green turf floor, kids slip down the swirl slide, dive into the foam-building-block pit, and navigate the boo balls and punch-bag forest. As parents lounge in plush leather chairs with a complimentary coffee, kids bounce from mechanical-horse rides to the enclosed basketball court, their smiles leading the way. Alternatively, parents can get into the action, joining their youngsters at the twisty slides and monkey ropes to relive their college-dorm days. Additionally, the center’s staff accommodates 2.5-hour birthday parties with a choice of four private-party-room packages built around pizza, ice-cream cake, and kids having fun climbing and running through the playground.
