Many (including our Northern Cincinnati location) have miniature bowling, glow-in-the-dark mini golf, an arcade, and a number of interactive games that take place throughout the whole property.

Having experienced many of them at least once though, I will say that the attractions offered are a lot of fun – and quite reasonably priced if something is appealing.

During their “Snowland” season, there are also additional lobby activities. You’ll even see it snow in the grand lobby several times each day!
