A playground for all ages

Charis Patires

Join Miner Mike and his mule, Buster at the Lake's largest indoor playground for both kids and adults. The 35,000 square-foot family fun center features games, rides and food to keep you entertained all day.
Kids ages 12 and younger will love the large maze filled with tubes, slides, two ball pits and other activities. There are three rides including The Chuck Wagon Ferris Wheel that will take you two stories high, the Gold Mine Bumper Cars, and their most popular ride, The Runaway Mine Train Roller Coaster.
Purchase a season pass for $29.50 and get unlimited access to the rides and maze until the end of the year.
Token operated games for all ages are located on two levels. In addition to simulators, skee ball, basketball and other high-tech games, a few new ones have been added this year.
The Monster Drop is a popular addition where players must time the drop of the high-energy ball to make it fall through one of three pockets. There is a winner every time.
There are two new Trap Door machines where players must skillfully stop the spinning light in win zones which will cause the trap door to crank open and drop a prize.
There is also a photo booth where $1 will get you two sets of four pictures.
Some popular games are Deal or No Deal, just like the game show. The Big Bass Wheel where you pull a large handle down to make the wheel spin. You could win up to 1,000 tickets.
When you get hungry, the Cook's Tent offers hot dogs, nachos, popcorn, pizza, soft pretzels, frozen yogurt and other snacks. The Longbranch Saloon located in Buster's features Angus hamburger baskets, toasted ravioli, breaded mushrooms, chicken nuggets and other larger menu items.
