Three-Attraction Pass For One
I can't believe this was the first time I'd been to an actual Adventure Landing. It's worth it and we'll come again! There's 3 mini golf courses! Go karts are so much fun!! You must have your driver's license on you if you want to ride double. Dust does fly into your eyes and mouth while driving under the tunnels, but not too bad. The guys make sure everyone is safe! :) The food is not really ready. We didn't really trust the popcorn machine so we asked for pizza but that has been sitting out too long and would take maybe 20 minutes from making new pizza to getting to the table. No nachos, so we waited like 10 minutes for fries with cheese. It was very hot whenever it came out, but they were good. The women's bathroom is by the snack area and not very near the men's restroom, just FYI. The whole place seems safe and it is a fun good choice to go with your family and or friends.
