Theme & Amusement Parks in Timberwood Park

With a 2.5-acre activity space, Family Celebration sets the stage for bouncing, exploring, and merry-making for kids with their friends and family in three inflatable arenas: Wacky World Arena, Toddler Arena, and an 80-foot-long obstacle course. Lit basketball courts, BirdZone Golf, and netted trampolines all encourage kids to unleash their competitive side and the shrink-zapped Michael Jordan living deep within them.

Incredible Pizza Company entertains young revelers with more than 100 games, more than 100 homestyle-buffet offerings, and four themed dining areas: a '50s–style diner, a drive-in movie theater, a family room, and a gymnasium. Guests can drive bumper cars and go-karts, play laser tag, or enjoy myriad arcade games, earning tickets that can be exchanged for toys and prizes. Between games, plates are graced with 8 to 10 varieties of pizza, as well as baked potatoes that can be dressed with custom toppings before loading into potato guns. Incredible Pizza Company also offers a variety of birthday packages, which include access to private rooms, food, balloon bouquets, and invitations.

Embassy Miniature Golf challenges lovers of the little links to four 18-hole rounds of putting amid a landscape covered in rocky terrain, waterfalls, and palm trees. Climb over bridges, putt through a darkened cave, and avoid simulated sand pits while dazzling friends with physics-defying trick shots and fashion-defying plaid pants. While kids and adults traverse the grounds, the course's 18.5-foot giraffe mascot, Puttunia, stands guard, watching for unapproved mulligans and illegal GPS-guided balls. Customers can also enjoy Embassy's snack bar, arcade games, and other activities during their visit.

The phosphorescent indoor landscape at Monster Mini Golf immerses putters in an eerie universe that inverts the sun-soaked cheer of conventional courses. Rimmed in glowing green barriers, 18 holes lure swingers of all sizes to challenge their coordination and resolve in the face of winged monsters, scowling animated trees, a creepy clown, and their opponents' shockingly dazzling smiles. Sheltered from searing rain and howling wind, the indoor course enables play around hazards such as a spell well and luminous, ghostly windmill at any time of the year. An in-house radio station and DJ mask the sound of pounding hearts with lively beats and course commentary, and golfers looking for additional glory can win prizes by participating in regular contests or at the on-site arcade.

Laser Legend's black-lit arena surrounds players in a scene that seems straight out of a science-fiction movie. Glowing planets and stars backdrop the 5,000-square-foot space, where fog creeps out from behind neon-blue walls and 14 robots guard bases. Up to eight teams fire lasers across two levels, competing during match types such as capture the flag or tickle the flag until it says uncle. The phosphorescent ambience also extends to the Glo Golf course, where alien forests and caves surround golfers as they line up putts. The course employs a multi-hole system that allows Laser Legend’s intergalactic greenskeepers to change the cup locations each week. Elsewhere, more than 40 games, such as Sno Cross, Dirty Driving, Doodle Jump, and Juke-n-Box, create a symphony of electronic beeps in the arcade.

The aromas of fresh-baked breadsticks lure visitors into the onsite restaurant, Noble Roman's Pizza, where chefs fry chicken wings, assemble italian-beef subs, and slide pepperoni pizzas into the oven. This casual Italian cuisine also fuels stomachs within Laser Legend's party rooms, where guests can watch satellite TV and birthday kids eat a breadstick for every year they've had teeth.
