Great place for the kids to spend a couple hours. Book your shows before you get there, they sell out fast.

Love taking my son here!! He always has a blast. They have a play area for the kiddos to run around in that is gated. They also have games, number cars and mini golf.

Very disappointed. Drove my daughter 2 hours to ride go karts and enjoy the indoor playground but none of this was open due to Covid-19 but their website did not say that. We tried to enjoy the arcade but every other game we wanted to play didnt work. The employees did go and fix this immediately but it was still inconvenient.

Played putt putt, go carts, and games. Lots of fun for my kids and myself. Most the staff didnt seem to happy to be working there and food took way to long to be made. Found a little crayfish on the golf course that made us laugh. Overall good time.

We had fun!! We ALWAYS have fun!!! This place is always packed when we go which is expected and understandable. Lots for the kids and adults to do. This location has been around for quite some time so that speaks volume!! Great service, delicious food. Please if you can fix the XL potholes where you first turn in to get to your establishment that would be awesome!

VERY DISAPPOINTING! A lot of the machines were broken. They were still turned on and lit up. The employees were very nice. The indoor playground was a hit. The outdoor putt putt golf course is really well kept up. Really great when it isnt snowing or raining. The next time we want to play video games, I guess we will go to Chuck E Cheese.

Played mini-golf here. Some holes are just duplicates of previous one and others were broken/ruined by time. The grounds were in subpar shape, but it did storm the night before so I guess I will give them the benefit of the doubt. I did have fun playing here though and they have some interesting holes.

I have been coming to this magic mountain for a long time. 2012-2017. We play mini golf on the adventure 18 holes. They are 3 out if 5 stars. Upkeep is not good, but still fun. Go carts are dated as well. Video games disappointing selection and half of the ticket games broken. Come on magic mountain get your $@&? together. Go to Polaris location unless you want to play mini golf.

Normally my grandchildren and nieces/nephews have a great time. Today we decided to purchase a family package that included pizza...the pizza was the worse. There was no tomato sauce on the pizza; just crust, cheese and pepperoni. Well, the kids could not eat it and when I reported it to staff and they said sorry. The food was a waste of money but kids enjoyed the games.

Review №22

First I purchased a Groupon for this location. They would not honor it. I had a screen shot. They said they wouldnt use it or even if I printed it online they wouldnt take it.Then we ordered the pizza the crust was a little hard. The ticket machine was not working. Staff ignored you and when they were waiting on you would take off and not come back for at least 5 minutes later. I would understand if there was lots of people there but it wasnt busy. No one acted as if they wanted to be there or helpful.

We went to the southern one, which apparently is smaller than the northern one. That being said we played mini golf, did the batting cages, and go karts. We spent about 2 hours there just taking our time, and we really enjoyed ourselves. It is a great spot to go unwind for awhile. Only four stars though because they seemed under staffed.

Review №24

Pretty fun place to spend an afternoon. My kids were too young to do the go karts but we really enjoyed a couple rounds of mini golf, the bumper cars, and the playground area.If I had one criticism it would be they could do a tad better on cleanliness of the mini golf course, it wasnt in disrepair but it was dirty in some areas of the course. The floors inside the cafe area were pretty dirty too while we were there.

Review №25

My granddaughters had fun but there wasnt anybody working to run the bumper cars & my youngest was only tall enough to drive them by herself so she was really disappointed. Then, we were second in line at the go karts yet waited 45 minutes for my 8 year old to drive & my 6 year old & I never did get a turn. The kid operating kept letting older kids & different kids for whatever reason on & we got hired of standing there watching everyone else go. The pizza was okay but had quite a bit of garlic. Overpowering. But the arcade games are set up so that even the youngest of children win tickets. That was a major plus! Seeing my granddaughters eyes light up because they won tickets was priceless! Not sure it was worth the money we spent. $100 for 3 hours

Review №26

Had fun with some great young people who drove 2 hours to Magic Mountain, but everyone was disappointed with the fact that almost half of the games were not functioning or broken. Staff was nice and tried to help but only so much they could do. We had fun despite this. Hopefully they will get the games up and running again.

I used to love this place as a KID. This was my first time returning as an adult with my own children and I will never be back again. Old worn out arcade games that are over priced. Unfriendly teen staff. Horrible customer service and I never saw any employee go around and clean any tables while I sat there for two hours. Disgusting and worn down. I will rather stick with Chuck E. Cheese and Dave and busters next time

I went there because a friend had her two year old daughters birthday party and I hadnt been there in probably 20 years and the place still looks the same she had the whole place to herself Mondays and Tuesdays is the best time to have the place to yourself I will go back again only on Mondays and Tuesdays

Review №33

Very very very dirty! I would NOT EVEN give it one star if I could. The employees are rude and do not even watch over the play area- allow some to wear shoes in the play area and make some of them take their shoes off. More than half the games do not work or are out of order. When we walked up to the snack bar to buy a drink I had to wait there for at least 5 minutes before the two employees stopped flirting with each other and being on their phones to even acknowledge that I was standing there. They also act as if you Re bothering them when you walk up to the snack bar or even to buy tokens. I told the one employee when we arrived and we were buying tickets/attractions that we have never been here and she just starred at me as if I was supposed to figure everything out myself. I WOULD never recommend this place to anyone!!!!!! Gross and not run well.

Kids loved it. Used a Groupon. The people who work there and seem to not like their job. Food is overpriced and terrible lol. Games and go-carts and the kids place to play is cool.

Review №35

This place has such great potential but doesnt seem to be in good condition. I have taken my son twice in the last couple weeks and each time a large portion of machines are out of order. Multiple machines take your token but never give you the game play credit. Batting cages take your token but never start. Half the staff seem to be unconcerned and bothered by patrons asking for assistance.

I gave them three stars because our first 2 hours there were realky great! We had my son and daughters party at magic mountain the east location. We loved everything until the shift change, the new workers that came in mainly just one was extremely rude and made my entire party feel unwelcomed! She was talking about us to other employees right where we could hear her and laughing, all because she wasnt aware of the previous aarangement with the other worker due to most of there attractions being down. She kept looking and staring at us and giving us looks that made my guestUpset, to the point we decided to leave an hour earlier than we planned because of this. As much as I loved the games, food and play gym. We wont be having anymore birthday partys at this location.

Would leave negative stars if I could! My family went yesterday to the East and we are so disappointed. It is VERY UNSAFE! My four year old son rode the bumper cars and the ride attendant did NOT EVEN CHECK TO SEE IF anyone put on the alleged “safety belt”. More than half the arcade games were out of order, and the employee didn’t care one bit when we brought it to his attention. Most of the batting cages were out ofOrder as well. The temperature was hot and uncomfortable; employees and guests alike were all sweating. It was absolutely filthy a Magic Mountain. The windows on the roof had rusted, rundown and disgusting screens, the carpet was filled with debris and dirt, everything was dirty. The sign above the “laser” attraction said it wasn’t connected to the Internet.

Review №41

Ive been going here as a kid, and last night was the worst experience I have ever had. For starters, their were 3 kids standing around at the front, and only one other girl worked the register, she also did every small job, like take out food, while these other kids stood around. A young boy the entire night stood at the front on his phone, or was drinking pop. They also had no organization skills and allowed multiple people to order where you pick up the food, instead of the real line that we were in. On top of that the boy in the back making the food with gloves on then swept with the same gloves one, that are one time use gloves and also with the same pair, cleaned the wall, and mopped the floor, with all of the same gloves on over and over, which is disgusting and not up to code. We seen him clean with products and then make pizzas several times. As that was going on, the manager was unaware and doing nothing. He walked out side with another girl as she cleaned off dirty tables, then when they came back in the stood in the door way to the back. So now there are 5 people standing around with one young lady doing everything she can to get the busy line down and everyone what they want. After those 2 came in another lady who was working the bumper cars began to clean as she walked by the napkin station she wiped her hand with a napkins but left it in the dispenser, where my mom and could clearly see because our table was next to the station. My mother finally went to go say something to the manager as he continuously advoided her, she finally reached him, and all he did was say okay, and walk to the back to the guy and maybe talked to him. He still didnt change his gloves after the manager went back their.Overall, this place was awful, and not up to standard, we even tried to go to the batting cages and only 2/8 worked and no one was out their either.This place has always been amazing, but they do not have good management, or good employees, or good sanitation. I wish I could give these people a 0/5 star review...

It was a very fun experience, with great pizza and soda. However, most games that are supposed to give you tickets dont, but its still fun. Also, Go-Karts are the best part. Just watch out for bugs, as they will often smack you in the face as you go.

This place is terrible. Tried to do the go-karts and the 2 young men running the go-karts were on their cell phones and only sending 3 or 4 cars out at a time. Waited for over an hour without getting to do them. People were cutting in front of us. Manager refunded our money, but the only good thing I can say about this place is the one young lady that actually apologized for our inconvenience. Would give less than 1 star if I could.

The video game machines could use some attention. Half are shut down every time we go, and the remaining machines are always out of tickets and the staff take forever to fill them. Prizes are mediocre. Its definitely a dated place in need of some TLC. And they need a staff that has some work ethic so youre not waiting an ungodly amount of time for your wristbands and food, and ticket redemption.But my kiddos still love it.

The staff here needs to learn what customer service means....never seen so much resting bi**h face in my life...sad supposed to be a family fun place. They act inconvenienced that you are heaven forbid spending your money & they have to put their phones down for 2 seconds. The managers are worse then the staff. No wonder they look so unhappy. Youd think they were forced here on community service not getting paid for an actual job. F----

Review №64

This is a nice place for good family fun. They have several packages available to experience a variety of activities. The putt putt course is well laid out, the arcade has a good variety of games, bumper cars inside allow smaller kids the opportunity to drive since they cant drive the go-karts. The go-kart track is fun for adults and older kids but the price vs. the 5 minute track time allotted for each ticket makes it a little more expensive than other similar places.

My girlfriend and I took my niece here. Paid for almost 300 tokens, only to get to the arcade area and find less than half of the games working. Most had tape over the coin slots. Some just ate your coins. Luckily my niece is willing to make the best of a subpar situation. But she shouldnt have to. Im sure the employees have very little control over getting the machines fixed, so I cant be upset with them for not doing anything about it. However, I wonder if the Polaris location would ever be allowed to fall into such a state of disrepair...

Its a lot like Chuck E Cheese but better! Better arcade games and kids gym, and includes extras like a nice mini golf course, bumper cars, etc. Dont expect too much from the kids who work there though. Our pizza took a long time, and we had to figure out how some aspects of the business worked on our own. They had a great daily special though, which made the whole thing cheaper, and we had a good time!

Hit or miss can be super pricey, the pizza was good when we had a church outing one Sunday but when I went recently wt my family the pizza was dry they had an attitude because I guess they were soon closing the kitchen The cheese was not evenly spread around the edges of the crust we were so dissolved, then to add insults to injury the manager a Caucasian tall guy was rude and acted as if because my kids ate like 3 small squares we enjoyed it mind you my kids were 3&11 they were really hungry and exhausted from playing plus we needed to taste it??! But yeah I would give it less stars but my kids did enjoy most the games

Review №76

So. much. fun! There are plenty of fun activities to do for small children. We chose the pick three for both kids (three and five years old). Putt putt golf was kind of waste of money for the three year old, she just couldnt do it. The five year old got mad because he lost is ball down a stream (if I were to do it all over again, Id grab a second ball for him before we left the kiosk at the first hole). The indoor climbing area is always fun for the kids. We also played bumper cars which was short in time, but a whole lot of fun for the kids. We also played arcade games. There are enough that are age appropriate for small kids (as well as older kids). All-in-all we spent about $60 and had an amazing time!

Review №79

I dont get it. This is the ONLY place even remotely like this on Columbus east side. Youd think management would know this and want to be at the top of their game. Build a reputation as THE family outing place to go. But sadly, thats not the case. It is rather typical for 30-40% of the games to be broken or malfunctioning. We dont order food or snacks because the quality is somewhat worse than gas station food. If this were my place, Id turn it into the cash cow that it should be

I wish I could give zero stars. Ordered $40 worth of tickets and when we went to play games either they were out of order or the machines took my tokens and did not work.

Most of the games were broken or didn’t give out the right amount of tickets. Some of the employees were rude. I get their teenagers who just want a summer job but take pride in your job. If you don’t like your job find another one. Don’t work with the public if you’re just going to be rude. Won’t be coming back to this location.
