We brought a group of 20 people, many of them from overseas, to the Character Challenger Course and WOW was it an experience to remember! The staff there were super friendly, helpful and supportive. The challenges themselves left everyone learning something about themselves, working together as a team and facing some fears...all while cheering, laughing and supporting one another. There were lots of memories made. Our group ranged in age from 8 to 62 and everyone loved it. Highly recommend visiting.

There were several things to do in one place which was nice but definitely needs some updating. The miniature golf was nice and shady, but some added fun features would be good. Everything just seems a bit tired and worn down. The climbing wall was good and our kids enjoyed the maze, but without some upkeep I can foresee some problems. The laser tag was only working part of the time and our son said you couldn't see the lasers a lot of the time. The most noticeable issue were the teenagers working there were certainly not very motivated to do anything beyond minimal requirements. The staff running laser tag were swearing without any thought regarding the young kids waiting to go in. We had a good time, but certainly a few park updates and a behavior reminder for some of the staff would be recommended.

While on vacation in the area, my mother bought tickets to a Jasper's Theater performance. It was a clean, fun filled afternoon of Magic tricks, music, singing, skits, and jokes put on by 4 generations of family. This year is their 10 year anniversary, and...MoreWe will have another great show this summer! Hope to see you again!
4. Aiton Heights Fire Tower

Reviewed By TakinLotsaPictures - North Dakota
After climbing the hill to the tower we realized that there really wasn't a view from the ground because of all the trees. We asked a mother-daughter duo how far up we'd have to climb on the tower before we'd have any kind of view and they said that you'd have to go almost to the top. It's 100' high so we opted not to as we were already tired from the walk up the hill. One of my most beautiful pictures was on the path though. Will not go to the tower in the future unless the leaves are not on the trees.

Every year I have my daughter fish with Jason. He applies his skills and patience as a kindergarten teacher to make fishing fun for everyone. My daughter continues to learn more and love the sport. She also catches a ton of fish with Jason and her smile is why we go back every year!
Jason has a lot of other accomplishments too like being an author, writer for the paper, and Guide for the Governor for the MN Fishing Opener in 2013.
You won't be disappointed!

Reviewed By sd2travel - South Dakota
2 hour tour that takes you from the end of the East arm of Lake Itasca up to the Headwaters (top of the North arm- see map) and back. The narration on the way was very good with the narrator pointing out areas of interest, history & wildlife. Top of the boat is open (with a cover overhead) or you can sit down below which is closed in (with windows). Snack items aboard for purchase. If you are visiting Itasca State Park this tour is a must as part of your visit.
