    Our server Phoenix was great, every attentive, helpful, knowledgeable. I found the food a bit expensive as well as the Unlimited card with the Eat and Drink Combo ($60 vs $40 it says on the Eat and Drink Menu online). Maybe because it was a Wednesday it was packed to the max, it was so many kids that almost no games were available, everyone was on top of each other. Not sure if they monitor the amount of people in the gaming section but perhaps they should. It wasn't very enjoyable for us--- not the kids nor the adults. I don't think I'll be going back.
