TrinaJuly 13, 2012Fascinating place, only two bad things. Not enough parking and parents who can't control their kids.
Crystal MartinNovember 14, 2013If you don't have a lot of money, eat before you go because the cage is fairly expensive.
Ashley AdamsMay 20, 2012It was fun, but maybe not $27 worth of fun. Avoid if you dislike screaming children.
