Really impressed with this store. Have been there several times and it's clean, lots of items in stock like sizes of shoes and someone around to help. Like the greeter at the front. If you are looking for something in particular just tell the greeter and he will call back to the department for someone to help you when you get there. I like that they have an actual golf pro to help with questions. Overall good store! ...read more

Wheels Family Fun Center

\t\n\t\nWe had a 9 year old's birthday party in the indoor climbing area recently. It was two hours long.\t\n\t\nWe showed up at 3 PM with a cake. They provided the tables, plates and napkins, a pitcher of fruit punch, a pizza slice per child, and a ""buy one get one free"" next visit coupon per child for around $8 per kid.\t\n\t\nWe walked out at 5 PM with no worries.\t\n\t\nThe kids had a great time and we didn't have to do any clean up.\t\n\t\nThe place has been undergoing renovations and everything was clean and well-maintained while we were there.\t\n\t\nThe staff was friendly and attentive. They checked on us around 6 times during the two hours to make sure there weren't any problems.\t\n\t\nWe'd forgotten birthday candles and they gave us some.\t\n\t\nMy son said it was the best birthday party he has had. Many of the kids said it was the most fun (ahead of the recent rock wall climbing, bowling, and museum birthday parties) .\t\n\t\nWe had girls and boys ages 4 to 10 and they all enjoyed themselves.\t\n\t\nThe pizza was better than I expected (much better than Cici's or Little Caesar's).\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n ...read more

Wheels Family Fun Center

As a Black Muslim I usually have to be very careful when I am eating out. My group was having a get together at Wheels Fun Center. We have certain dietary restrictions that cannot be compromised. Wow, did the staff at Wheels go out of their way to make us feel at ease. One of the staff members thought far enough a head to bring in special topping for the pizzas we ordered. They brought in turkey pepperoni, sliced green and red peppers, sauteed mushrooms and onions, kosher ground beef (pre-cooked). They even thought about the little ones, they brought in kosher beef hotdogs. What a feast. I give them a perfect A+ on their food. The building was a little bit dirty, but what do you expect from a building that is probably 20 years old. They could do a lot better. A little scrubbing here and there and a fresh coat of paint would do wonders. That get a C+ The skates were in pretty bad shape, but I did see one of the staff members working on them. Good job. All in all their skates get a D-. They were not even spraying disinfectant into the skates after every use. The bathrooms were another story. They appeared to be clean, but the men?s room smelled like urine. The frames that held up the curtains (what ever happened to the concept of doors on bathroom stalls) had not been painted. More than half of the stalls did not have paper in them. There were no towels to dry your hands on, as well as no soap or sanitizing agent. They give them a C- on their bathrooms. The staff was friendly was friendly enough, but they were very under staffed. I guess with the economy the way it is, they have to cut corners somewhere. This lack of help did put a bind on customer service, but with their good attitudes, it was forgivable. Give then a B-. The music was OK, but not my taste. I give the DJ a B+ So did they make the grade. yes. However, the place really does need a full cleaning. Their total score was about a C+, about average. ...read more
