Wonderful owner

The owner maintained great communication the whole step of the way. Our party was 6 adults, we knew going in that one room was low ceiling and a kid motif. My adult kids just had fun with it and limbo-ed their day to a start. Definitely better for a family with little kiddos, but we would go back!
