From the reviews
I think blackboard's is very underrated. It's a fun place to take younger kids to this entertainment park. Yes it may be a little outdated. But I'm sure if more people would come more often. Then maybe the owners would invest more money into it. Attest that's what I would wish would happen.
Absolutely outstanding place for you to take your kids , it has a lot of arcades , mini golf , go kart is incredible, and many more. I would suggest to buy the wristband for the outside attraction on the days listed on one of the photos I took, the front customer service was superb , her name was Toushia Edelbrock .
I hadn't visited since I was a teenager and it definitely needs updating. We were invited to an birthday party and I had no idea they have tables in the back with grills. The pass we got came with a card with $2.50 on it to use for some rides and the arcade. The games in the arcade are. 25, .50, .
I haven't visited this place since 1987. I returned recently to check it out, and it was largely unchanged. The arcade is still there, though it has mainly ticket redemption games now instead of the classic arcade cabinets of the '80s. The mini golf course is exactly how I remembered it.
