Sky Zone Trampoline Park

This place is great to bring the kids and have a family night of jumping, zip-lining, basketball dunking, arcade, foam pits, glow nights, and a simple yet affordable food court. The staff are all pretty much teenagers who were pretty behind the scenes for the most part. The place was pretty dirty and trashy and I have pics to prove it. The night I went here and jumped my girlfriend lost my iPhone in the big foam pit. The different shifts of teenagers would not help me look for it in any way and told me to bring my own help and come around closing time to look for it. Took me 3 days and 3 separate trips with the help of several of my own family members to finally find it while the staff just stood on the sidelines and humbly watched us grown ups sweat are butts off for an hour…

Aquarium Restaurant

We had the greatest experience that we have had at a restaurant in a long time. Angelina was our waitress and she did a fabulous job. She kept up with everything, and we gave her 2 $2 bills. We reserve those for flawless service. The seatting that we had was right at the aquarium, and we got stalked by fish all through dinner. We even told them we were having the steak. (Had some shrimp cocktail also, but did not see any shrimp there) The steak and potatoes were amazing. The greenbeans are wonderful . The shallots had a little too sharp of a flavor to them. I would use a sweet onion, I think. Or have some dinner rolls with the meal. That is the only complaint that I or my wife had.

Aar River Gallery

Many highly skilled artists show their work here. I especially am impressed with the pottery, as I once threw pots, and know what it takes to hone that skill. I can find original, unique, high quality gifts here too–paintings,sculpture, jewelry, woodwork, scarves, you name it. I highly recommend this gallery.
