For Four: Two-Hour Open Play Pass for All Ages; Valid Monday - Friday
We had a great time, we went on a weekday afternoon and it wasn't too crowded. The bathrooms were ok clean. Check-in was efficient but i can see it be long if it was a busy day. You sign up for time slots, so everyone shows up at the time slot to check-in.
