I would stay away from this place. Looking at the photos, my toddler was VERY excited to go here. It did look fun.
With that said, after paying the $17 for the play area, the toddler area is exceptionally small. There is just a slide, a tunnel, and about 4 wall toys like Tic Tac Toe. Very underwhelming and disappointing.
We also chose to spend $50 on the arcade card. We spent about half of it on a crane game, because she saw a Mario plushie that she was excited about. Now, I know the crane games have logic in them to only win X number of times, but between my wife and I we tried at least 20 times. About half the time it wouldn’t grab it at all, the other half of the time it would lift about halfway up and just drop it. I fully regret thinking “maybe this next time it will work.”
Then about half of the other arcades were broken, either turned off or had signs they were out of service.
I figured I’d let the front desk know about the experience, and they did just about nothing. First he asked me “didn’t you see the signs that the arcades are not ours?” Then he was only offering to let “them” know about it. He admitted the calibration was likely off, but said he can’t do anything. He wouldn’t even say who “them” was, or offer any kind of follow up or compensation. I know it’s a common practice for small businesses to outsource their arcade operations, but this is a place that supposedly specializes in that experience. The fact that they just either did not care at all or are just willing to throw their hands up and say that it’s not their equipment and offer no assistance is just extremely disappointing.
There are plenty of other venues in the area. I highly recommend Dutch Wonderland for your kids to have fun. I really, strongly recommend against even thinking about going to Go N Bananas. See if there’s a Chuck E Cheese or something else in the area that’s more reliable and family friendly. This place is just a rip off and they don’t care.
I left frustrated and my kid left sad for not being able to get much out of the experience. She’s been saying since then that she can’t wait to just go back to Chuck E Cheese near our home instead - and I don’t blame her at all.
