SN+ is a fun, decent place to bring kids 7yrs to teen (or teen at heart). Laser tag is always a hit and, even tho the arcade isn't in the best shape - if your main clientele was a bunch of adolescents what should one expect? This isn't Dave & Busters and you aren't dropping major $$. As far as the tickets/prizes - anyone over the age of 8 knows they are a sucker deal but the kids love it anyway. Relax, play some air hockey. Laugh a little. Last yr they bought a bunch of new rental skates so that is better than most. Watch their specials (sign up for email notifications). Some of their deals are fantastic (including free skate when temp outside exceeds 100*)!!
My biggest complaints are 1.) that they often (o.k., usually) do not have adequate staff to assist on ice, behind counters and at the cafe and 2.) skating can be dangerous and Skate At Your Own Risk policy = staff really doesn't know what to do other than call an ambulance if you get hurt. Injuries are COMMON. It gets crowded. Schoolbuses full of campers drop off folks who have no idea how to skate. They will take you out. Advanced skaters in the center will be practicing their spins. Hockey skaters will be speeding around practicing their stops. So, if you or your loved ones don't know how to skate - stick to the wall. Stay out of the middle. Slow down. Take a LTS class to learn how to fall and get back up, at least. Please.
