Make sure to ask for the unlimited XD ride Movie deal for only $15!! We went there for my son’s 6th birthday, and it was worth the 2hr drive from Maryland! We also stayed at the 2nights in PA. Many awesome themed places like Nickelodeon Hotel, Red Caboose, Double Tree Resorts to fit in everyone’s budget! Have a Fun Family Fantastic getaway!

Really disappointed with the pricing. I am a working mom of three kids. I wanted to take them to play on a weekday after I got out of work. I realize GO N Bananas are only open till 6pm but thought even just to take the kids for the last hour would be fun. Well I would have to pay $21.99 for each kid to use Ballocity for 5 hours of play when I would only be able to use 1 hour of that paid 5 hours because they close at 6pm on weekdays. There is no way to pay for the attraction other than paying for 5 hours of play. I refuse to pay extra for 4 hours of play I wouldnt be able to use. Management really needs to look into their pricing. Highly disappointed to say the least!

Clean and fun for the kids. I love that their ballocity attraction only has one exit. Recently they upped their prices though which is a bummer

Attended my grandsons 6th Birthday Party. Staff was friendly. As an adult, I really enjoyed watching Werewolves, Carnival and Zombies on the XD Dark Ride. Many if the adults were having as much fun as the kids. I wont be surprised if next years party is there.

Cheap to get In and the place is very well maintained. 2 kids under 6 is 22$ for 5 hours of play on the areas and 7$ arcade card.Well worth being your kids on a cold or rainy day to play and get out. Staff is always nice and helpful towards all kids and parents.

Decent place but the young employees seem disinterested. I flagged down an arcade employee and explained that the one game had malfunctioned. He said, I did not witness it so there is nothing I can do.

Fun place for smaller kids. My 2.5 year old goddaughter had a blast there. Arcade is a little bare bones and not really one of its strong parts. Will definitely bring her back again to play sometime

Weve been here a lot since this place opened. The staff is always nice and helpful.Recently, we were here for our first birthday party (as guests). Ethan was assigned to our group of kids. He did an awesome job wrangling everyone, keeping parents updated, and making sure all the details were taken care of. Ethan was always polite and took care of minor details, like water refills, without having to ask.The birthday party room was a calm space compared to the chaos in the play area. Parents were able to relax and chat while the children enjoyed their activities.After the party, Ethan even used a cart to take presents and supplies out to the parents vehicle. Overall, Go N Bananas provided a great birthday party experience for everyone.

I enjoyed the experience here. Friendly staff, clean environment, nice cafe, and a great arcade. It is also great for little children because they have a toddler area. Some of the arcade machines were down, amd the prices are a bit high. Over all, a great place to go.

This is a cool place to take your kids. Fun arcade games. Lots of other stuff to do. Good food too! Like really really really good food.I docked one star - because the cranes (in the arcade section) are really bad - don’t grip at all. If you’re going to charge a dollar a play they need to grip once in a while. They definitely wouldn’t meet state standards.Regardless of that, I’ll be back - it’s a great time. Just don’t play the cranes.

Only thing worth doin is buying the package for 30 bucks. It gives ur kid access to everything for 5 hrs well worth it. Kids had a blast. Found the laser tag very fun. Its a nice place for young kids to waste energy and have a blast

We attended a birthday party there today and it was awesome. The kids played laser tag and did the ropes. The ropes helped some of the girls get over their fear of heights. They were so proud of themselves. Neat to watch.

Review №23

Im a mother with two children that have already graduated college and when I was invited to my niece and nephews birthday party I wasnt sure what to get them because they are 5 years old and 7 years old, so Go N Bananas gift cards was my plan. When I stepped into the facility I knew I made the right choice and I wish I was a kid again. The place looks like so much fun., pricing is a little high but pricing is high anywhere you go. I would definitely recommend this place as a family fun center!

First time going here for a friend of my sons birthday. We live in Maryland and hadn’t heard of it before. The kids had a blast and even us parents had a good time. A lot to do. Some of the favorites were laser tag, the arcade, and mini bowling! We already are planning to have our sons birthday here next year because of how amazing the staff was. Plus the kiddo may have begged after we left to come back soon!

Great family fun spot with a few things for the adults to enjoy. A bit on the pricey side so our visits are less often. We go there and release the kids to go have fun and hang out in their dining area making frequent rounds.

Kids loved it here! Begging to go back. We were here on 5-10-19 and it was very clean we came during daytime hours so there wasnt a lot of people there. We are from Ohio, wish we had one of these close to us! The kids loved the laser frenzy! Thanks for a great day!

Review №32

What an AWESOME place to bring the kids for a few hours (up to 5 hours!) to play and have fun indoors! For just under $30 a child has unlimited indoor fun on bumper cars, a tight-rope walk, mini bowling, laser tag, spy laser game, and a giant ballocity climbing / slide play area! There is an arcade ($0.50 - $2 per game), and an area just for toddlers too! Or, you can pay for just the specific activity(ies) your kids want to play! Food and beverages are available, and you can even hold birthday parties here! The staff is great... Debbie was AMAZING, and she made a super fun, memorable afternoon for the kids! Thanks, Debbie! Thanks, Go N Bananas!!

This place was a lot of fun. The laser tag was the best feature. The pizza in the cafe is not tasty at all! Also, overall the price isnt worth the experience. After my son decided that the ropes course was too high and would not do it, I could not down grade the package to the cheaper one.

They have a nice 3 story kid play area w ball pit. Duck pin bowling. Arcade station. I saw the laser tag, food area, a VR ride, and laser escape but we never tried thise before since they are all separate cost. There also is a nice kid adventure climb and walk w safety harness which is fun.

Visited today and had a lot of fun! My daughter loved the Spin Zone bumper cars, Laser Tag and Mini Bowling. The pizza, mozzarella sticks, french fries & ice cream from the cafe were great! The staff was friendly and we had a great time!Definitely go on the weekdays if its a nice day; not too crowded and you get the chance to try everything and re-ride rides that the kids love with little to no wait!

Love love love this hidden gem!!! Was in Lancaster to visit Dutch Wonderland and were rained out of going the night before. And so we ended up here.The three stars are because the staff didnt inform me that the toddler area was being renovated and wasnt open. So I got three toddler passes for no reason. For the price, this wasnt acceptable. The girl behind the desk offered to give me a refund but we would have lost our game points. No offer of anything else was given. Wasnt well staffed on the floor but we dont leave our kids alone so we dealt with that. The staff working the ball pit was outstanding.I also purchased 4 older kid passes. The laser room, not the laser tag, was a let down because it was one or two people at a time and wasnt monitored by staff. The bowling wasnt monitored and wasnt working correctly.They did offer headphones for sensory issue kids. We needed this and so appreciated that!All in all, I wouldnt purchase the passes again and would do the ball area and other activities separately. I did love this place besides the issues. Wish theyd put one in Charleston.

What an amazing time my son and his friends had today when we visited. This was a first time for us. The Manager Mr. Sam took time to hang out with kids joining them is laser tag and on thr spinning cars. He took time to try and help my son get over a fear he has of costumes. Ms Dot, John and the rest of the staff were amazing too. Thank you everyone for making this such a great day for 3 boys from Colorado Idaho and Pennsylvania.

I went there for my nephews bday party.. it is a fun place for kids.. but an absolute nightmare if u dont like crowds.. my kids loved it but I cant say I would enjoy going there all the time. Its a big facility and alil small as far as space for walking threw crowded walk ways. But like I said, its not about the parents. Its about the kids having fun, so I would definitely recommend it for your kids lol. My kids loved it and thats all that matters.

Has many things for all ages. Jungle gym, bumper boats, lazer tag, games for all, food court and so much more to do. I would of rated 5 stars but there is one draw back. When alot of people show up the place feels small. I wish they could expand. Cause its such a fun place to take my family.

Well I want to let customers and potential customers of GB’s to know that after my review the owner(Joan) reached out to me and I am thankful of that! She was genuinely apologetic to me after the experience we’ve endured. What I experienced was definitely not part of their practice and she wanted to make all of that right. Thanks again Joan, much appreciation for hearing my concerns!

My 2 grandbabies love the play area. 2 and 3 year oldsMy sons that are 9 and 12 love how many things they could play with. And my son in law and older son 17 and 27 year olds had a fun time too. Theres lots to do for all ages 2 and up. And they had free refills on soda. Less then 100. For all to have fun for about 4 hours.

Me and my kiddos had a BLAST for my son 2nd bday, It was a lot going on everywhere definitely somewhere to take the kids to burn off that extra kiddergy (kid energy) I would highly recommend it!!!!! The only downside is you really have to search for parking its always crowded. Its Worth it though.

I love the pricing. For my older 2, the all included pass is well worth it. My youngest never wants to leave the ball area. Its great if you want to buy one attraction for a quick afternoon out as well. Food is amazing. Although the funnel cake fries were disappointing. They are just fries with ranch dip. The Bobo burger was absolutely wonderful. Juicy with tomatoes and lettuce. Limited refills on drinks which I think is helpful. The menu was more than I expected. I was surprised we went on a Sunday evening and it wasnt too crowded. 2 birthdays were happening. Heard good things about the parties. Much nicer than those other kid places. I never liked that mouse anyway. ;) I could go on but you should really see for yourself.

This is a great place to take kids at least 4 or older. Plenty to do and only $30 to do everything for hours of play. The only downfall is theres no door security. I did see a small child run out the door alone and a stranger brought her back inside. The place is clean and the employees are helpful and polite.

We have been here with our two children under 10 three times, once for a birthday party. Every visit has been a great experience. Staff is attentive and polite. Areas are clean and looked after regularly.You can buy several levels of access passes between $10 for toddler to the all access for $29.99 that gives you unlimited lazer tag, bumper cars, mini bowling, lazer maze and rope course for 5 hours and it includes $5 for the arcade area.The arcade is typical of what you find in amusement parks with nearly everything geared towards tickets. Games range from $0.50 skeeball to $2.00 plus arcade and chance games.A convenient feature is everything is stored on your pass card, so no carrying around a handful of tickets or tokens. Unfortunately, misplace your card and everything goes with it. The card is also your access to all the other areas.In addition to all this, there is a playground area for older kids and one for toddlers that is included at no extra cost. Colored wristbands control which kids can enter each area.Definitely recommend for a fun family night or as a party option. Wish there were more around closer to home.

Went there today for my a birthday party. It was really fun! There were a lot of activities to enjoy in this establishment. The prices seem high, until you realize that it is unlimited for 5 WHOLE HOURS! The kids all seemed to have a great time. They spent most of the time in ballocity and really enjoyed it. Unlike some other places, it seemed really clean in there and didnt have a strong scent of sweaty socks. The VR thing is also loads of fun, and so is the laser tag. The arcade had a large selection of games, and we even got to take home a few prizes! I am definitely going to return.

Review №77

I was able to set up my laptop and work while the 9 year olds enjoyed themselves on a myriad of games. I found the only non sticky table and we stayed until my battery died, about two hours. Only frustrations came when several birthday groups tied up the laser room. So they only got to do that once . No mention of the limited availability of the room when we were selecting what level of tickets to purchase with the staff. Overall, they had a blast.

I feel they are way over priced. They charge for everything there. Most places the kid play area is free but not there. I didnt think there was many arcade games to play either. It is a good thing to go for close by fun but if you have the time travel i can suggest a much better place!!!! Cost for 5 hours on things but unless you are having a party i dont spend 5 hours maybe others do. Prices start adding up when you have 4 kids!
