We went on a Tuesday. It was quick getting in the gate and driving to our screen was easy. The quality of the sound coming through in the car was excellent and it was fun to enjoy a movie outside.

Playgrounds Fun Zone & Cafe

We have a full scale café serving gourmet coffee and pastries for breakfast, hearty sandwiches and flavorful salads for lunch, and fresh baked cookies and ice cream cones for dessert. Kids also have great menu choices that include familiar favorites and unique items like the Fluffernutter sandwich... so yummy! Our fun zone is a 3,500 square-foot indoor play space where kids’ imaginations can run wild. After being greeted at the Ranger Station, kids ages 8 and under can explore, climb, crawl and slide among colorful animal characters that live in the north woods. There is also an area designated for toddlers to do all of the same things on a “toddler scale.” Parents are welcome to join the fun, or enjoy some rest and an iced coffee on one of our comfy couches or chairs. The party place is also a great place to host a child’s birthday party or a special group event. There are large party rooms, plenty of reservation times to choose from, and party packages to fit your budget.

AMC Arrowhead 14

Reviewed By PhlegmMaster - Phoenix, United States

A friend & I came here to see a newly released film. Purchasing our tickets online and having our seats assigned to us meant that even if we got stuck in traffic and showed up at the last minute (we actually arrived early), we wouldn't have to go up and down the theater, looking for what seats are left. The seats are quite comfortable. You begin in a normal seated position; from this point, you can begin reclining, using a lever/button on the side of your seat, stopping at various degrees or going all the way down to a near-flat position. You just need to find your "sweet spot" and enjoy the flick! Just don't show up for a movie feeling sleepy, because you easily could doze off in one of these babies!

I bought our group tickets, and we had a wonderful time! The club owner was very accommodating at getting all of us to sit together! The food and service was great, the atmosphere was ambient and the comedians, they were off the chain!! It was an absolutely awesome night for us! This was my first comedy club experience, and I enjoyed it so much! This will be one of our regular spots!

with 3 stories of golf bays, there are plenty of opportunities to launch a golf ball into the stratosphere! lol J/k there is plenty of space to come and just practice or to learn the game, or to just launch golf balls as far as you possibly can within the area provided by the netting. I'm not very good at the game, but when i do connect with the ball properly, I can hit it a country mile and I couldn't even hit the netting in the back, although it's loads of fun to try. You do not have to pay to enter the establishment, However you do have to pay to play!
