The Mighty Axe in North Phoenix!

 

If you are looking for a fun way to relieve some stress and learn a new skill, then heading to an axe throwing location may be right up your alley. There is a fun hangout spot located on High Street near Desert Ridge in North Phoenix called The Mighty Axe. They offer axe throwing, a small arcade, and a cozy bar area where you can get a drink or sit an play a board game. They offer walk-in's or you can make a reservation online prior to visiting. 

Depending on the size of your group & if the room is available, I would recommend booking the VIP room. The open lanes are $35 per person an hour and the VIP room is $45 a person, while you still only get an hour to throw the difference between the two is being in your own private area with the ability to select your own music & you'll have a personal waiter who will periodically stop by to see if you need anything. Online is shows that you need at least six people in your party to book a VIP room, we only had five, but I called ahead of time and asked if there was open space if we could book it anyway. The general manager on that day was awesome & let us book the VIP room since they had plenty of openings on the day we wanted to visit. 

Upon your arrival you'll enter into their bar & lounge area, where you'll find plenty of seating along with quite a few board games you can play with your family and friends. I found the space to be quite cozy & inviting, we had visited shortly after the holiday season so everything was still decorated for Christmas and added to the charm making it feel more like a winter getaway cabin. The VIP room felt very much the same, it had a nice seating area with three private throwing lanes. We loved being able to pick out our own music to listen to while throwing. If you get hungry they had a menu which offers a few in-house dishes, but also has options from several close businesses. We ordered some sliders & some brussels sprouts from a spot nearby that was featured on their menu. After a short amount of time, our waiter came by to let us know that the food spot was a bit busy & running behind on their order so he was going to extend our time so we could eat and throw some more which was very nice of him. Drink wise, you can order soda and alcohol from the bar. 

We loved that the lanes had a tablet that allowed you to choose from a number of games to be projected onto the throwing boards. One of my personal favorites was the tic-tac-toe and competing against my husband to see who would win. The kids had a fun time with the zombie target practice, and the darts style throwing. We were having so much fun that the hour along with the extra fifteen minutes we were given, completely flew by! 

The regular throwing lanes had quite a few people when we arrived, but still offered plenty of space to walk through without feeling like you were in the way of anyone. The arcade area offered mostly pinball machines, but we love them so we were exited to check it out after our timeslot was over.  I was actually kind of surprised that when our time slot was over & we came out of the VIP room that all of the regular throwing lanes were completely empty & we were the only party left, so we were able to have the whole arcade to ourselves. This is definitely a spot we would want to come back to!

Game Show Battle Rooms - Scottsdale!

Game Show Battle Rooms now has a second location in Arizona located over in Scottsdale near the 101 & Frank Lloyd Wright Blvd. The new location is located at 15040 N. Northsight Blvd Suite 102 Scottsdale,AZ 85260. You'll experience a brand new location, but the same games you know and love. If you love game shows & have thought to yourself "I wonder what it's like to be on a game show" or "Wow! I'd really love to be on a game show one day", then this is the spot for you! Game Show Battle room puts you into the action and makes you feel like you are on a live game show minus a bunch of cameras in your face or studio audience. You can of course be filming your own session here if you want to have every moment captured! I know we always catch some great moments to remember when we are here. 

The last time we visited the Chandler location we did the Classic Show down challenge, so this time around we decided to go with the Prime Time Show down.   The Prime Time Show down features survey battles, match up wars & Time rush games. The Survey Battles is just like on Family Feud, you'll be presented with a question & will need to guess the top four answers. You can work together as a team to determine what might be on the board & I can tell you that the answers aren't always what you think they will be. There was a question or two that left everyone a bit stumped just because there were so many things that could fill in the blank. 

During Match up wars, one person from each team will go up & sit in chairs in the middle of the room. They will be given a word or phrase which contains a blank spot they will need to fill in, they will do so by writing their answer down on a white board. While they are writing their own answers down, the rest of their teams will be writing down what they think that person will put. Then after the answers are revealed each team will win a point for everyone who matched the answer. This spot is great for a adventure with just the adults or if can be kid friendly as well! Every game played will have different quiz answers and puzzles so it is easy to ask for a more child friendly game vs some of the more adult themed questions. Every parent has a different level of comfort so whether you ask for that or not is completely up to you! My kids are eleven and fifteen, they've both heard cursing plenty of times so we don't mind them hearing them. Our game show hosts did ask before hand if it was alright to have questions that could get naughty, for example one of the questions was "Holy ___" which depending on who was up could have been Holy Cow, Holy Moley, and even Holy Shit which of course was what everyone put aside from our friend who put "Holy Diver" after the Dio song. Each time a team wins a round of Match up wars you get to place either a "X" or "O" on a giant Tic-Tac-Toe board & the team who completes three in a row first wins. 

Last but not least you'll compete in the Time Rush Games. If you've ever watched Minute to Win It, the games played during this are similar & based of skills rather than knowing the answer to a question. There will be games such as tossing bean bags, shooting darts, or flipping buckets to gain points and take your team to victory. We stayed on the same teams we had the first time around so that we could keep the rivalry going, this time around team X Force won! The Iron Maidens came in a close second though. 

Each game show slot last for one hour & is $39.95 per person. Before you start your show time, there are non-alcoholic and alcoholic drinks available for purchase at the front. As soon as your game show session is over, you'll be ready to come back for another! It is a complete blast, you'll be sure to laugh so hard you might cry, and your group will be talking about it for weeks afterward. Our game show hosts have been amazing at both locations, I think they all do a fantastic job at making sure you & your group are not only comfortable, but having a great time as well. 

If you pop over to my Instagram page, you can find a reel with some footage from our game together!

Battle it out with family & friends at Game Show Battle Rooms!

 

My family & I are big fans of game shows, from old shows like Family Feud to new shows like The Floor we love watching them together. We've always thought it would be amazing to be on one, & my husband and I were actually able to audition for one once. We recently learned about an awesome family friendly entertainment spot called Game Show Battle Rooms. You are able to put together teams then compete against one another to see who the champions are. They have several locations spread out across the US, so you may be lucky & find one near you. We were able to swing by the location located in Chandler at 6909 W Ray Rd Suite 29 Chandler, AZ 85226. It is located in Chandler, but on their website, it is listed under "Phoenix". 

They offer two different game show experiences, you can select the Classic show down which includes games such as spinning a giant wheel & completing a phrase or answering survey questions. Or you can book a Prime-Time showdown which includes games like sixty second skill games. It is $36.95 per person & each game show session last for one hour. If you have an extra-large group, a little bit more time will be added to your session to give everyone a chance to play. 

We did the Classic Show Down & had eight people in our party, which we split into two groups of four. Upon arrival you will be able to come up with a team name & each person will be given a name tag. We were asked to not put our legal names instead come up with something fun for a stage name. My nickname is Luna, so I ended up going with "Luna Mistress of the Dark" and it was funny hearing them call it out while we were playing. Before heading into the game show room, they have a bathroom you can use, and they also have a section where you can buy drinks. Our team names were the X-Force & The Iron Maidens. 

The game show room itself looks fantastic, it has everything you need to feel like you are on a live game show minus a live audience behind you. There are spotlights, all of the game pieces, two different team tables, plus two game show hosts and fun upbeat music of course. Our game show hosts JD & Talon were fantastic! They were very energetic, had some great jokes, played fun music and did a fantastic job pairing up people for the head-to-head competitions. One of the head-to-head team ups we had was the battle of the moms where it was my mom verses my husband's mom. You'll be pumped the entire time you are playing, everyone was hooting & hollering, clapping and laughing together. 

Everyone in our party had an absolute blast! Every aspect of the hour we were here was amazing, we had a great time competing against each other guessing answers, playing plinko and even dancing. After our session was over, everyone was already talking about coming back to try the other type of game shows. We were also told by our hosts that even if we booked the same classic game show that every session is different so there will be different questions, different products to price, etc. This is a fantastic spot for a friend's game night, birthday party, company team building and more.

Omega Mart Las Vegas Review!

 

We just went on vacation to Las Vegas & While we were there we tried to do at least one thing each of us wanted to do with the short amount of time we were in town. One of the things my son really wanted to do was visit Omega Mart at Area 15. If you are unfamiliar with Omega Mart it is a interactive art experience created by Meow Wolf. This experience is family friendly & we were all looking forward to exploring and experiencing this exhibit so we were excited when given the opportunity to receive press passes to explore Omega Mart in exchange for coverage. Depending on the ticket level you purchase & how deep you want to dive into the story being told at the exhibit I have read that guests spend anywhere from forty-five minutes to up to eight hours exploring all of the rooms and details of Omega Mart. How long you stay is all up to you. 

We arrived in the afternoon & even though there were a ton of other people exploring at the same time, there was plenty of room to look around and everyone was working together to take turns with each interactive exhibit. The only downside to a lot of people is you were able to see some of the more hidden secrets being revealed in front of you vs being able to find them on your own.  Even so, we enjoyed our time exploring all of the different rooms. I won't give away any of the hidden rooms so that when you visit you can look around for them yourself. There are three different floors of rooms to explore & along the way there is tons of things to interact with. 

Every single area you will explore is completely different from the last, there is so much to see and many beautiful features found within this exhibit. Along with the beautiful, you will also find some strange and bizarre things that are fun as well. If you want to stop for a while and enjoy a room, there is plenty of seating found through out the rooms and there are bathrooms available for anyone who needs them. The stair cases in the middle of the facility are pretty steep so if you prefer there is a regular staircase and also an elevator for anyone who needs them. 

It was pretty neat that the supermarket part of the experience was an actual store & you could purchase many of the products seen on the shelves. They had a wide range of products from clothing to edible items like leprechaun kidneys or Manticore poop. Just looking at all of the crazy products by itself was a lot of fun, because you never know what you might be picking up to look at. They had a display of what looked like avocados, but once you pick it up you realize that it is actually a coin purse that looks like an avocado. You'll also find crazier finds like tattooed chicken meat. 

When exploring you'll want to press buttons, open doors, look through books & files along with answering phones and even watching the TV's in various rooms. There are answers and hidden pieces of art + clues all over the place. Some of the rooms are very bright & colorful while others might be a bit darker. I had a lot of fun exploring Omega Mart with my family, it was exciting and was a great family friendly adventure. I would say we spent about an hour and a half exploring everything & I am sure there is still a few things we may have missed. 

Tickets are $54 per person for general admission, they also offer a VIP Package for $99 which includes goodies and discounts at the store, plus a Omega Quest package for $129. Tickets can be booked in advanced online.

Monster Jam Live Event Review!

Even if you aren't the biggest fan of monster trucks, it is still an event you should attend at least once as you'd be surprised just how exciting it can be. Monster Jam came through Arizona over the weekend at an event they hosted in Glendale, AZ at the State Farm Stadium. The event itself is a lot of fun, however I recommend arriving early by at least an hour, traffic into the parking lot can get a little crazy especially since there was another event going on at the same time, so it took us about 45 minutes waiting in line before we were able to park and that was prior to going through the security check and getting to our seats. Before you even step foot into the stadium you start to get excited because you can hear the rumble of the trucks massive engines and the cheers from the crowd going nuts over the tricks and jumps the trucks are able to pull off. 

Once we got inside our seats were easy to find. The crowd was full of energy and excitement everyone was ready to see some fun tricks, vote on their favorite trucks and potentially see some trucks wreck. I haven't personally been to a show since I was a kid, so I was looking forward to seeing if anything had changed. My kids and husband have never been, so it was an all-new experience for them. Monster Jam has a live app you can use during the show to vote on your favorite trucks and their performances to help them rank up on the score board to see who the ultimate winner would be. 

With so many crowd favorites it was a close competition with some of the trucks such as Grave Digger, Son-uva Digger, Solider of Fortune, Zombie and more. Each driver has a unique set of skills and a preferred method of tricks. 

It is absolutely crazy some of the tricks they are able to pull with the massive trucks they drive. Seeing the drivers being able to get the trucks onto two wheels balancing the trucks ever so perfectly so they won't topple and end up upside down. We were also able to see a two wheeled donut, some successful and unsuccessful tries at flipping their trucks and yes, I got videos of it! I will be sharing highlights of the event over on my Instagram page. I can only imagine how much fun it is to drive one of these massive trucks and do the amount of insane tricks that they do, it takes a lot of dedication, practice and a level of calmness to be able to get the massive amount of weight these trucks weigh to cooperate with what you are wanting them to do. 

There is a delicate balance with these trucks and the many turn overs you'll see goes to prove how you can go from doing an absolutely crazy stunt one second to being on your back the next because the ramp happened to tip your truck a little too much to one side and gravity took over.  

The first half of the event features the drivers seeing who could keep the trucks on two wheels for the longest amount of time, the longest running champion was Son-uva digger who managed to get almost 10 seconds. It is insane to see the time afterwards because it feels like it lasts several minutes then they announce it was only seconds they were up on two wheels. Each truck had two chances to test out their skills using which ever ramp around the venue they wanted to assist their trucks getting vertical. It is probably the truck most people know the name of and is my favorite truck as well, which truck is that? Grave digger of course but seeing son-uva digger was great as well because the driver Ryan had some of the best tricks of the night. I also really enjoyed watching Solider Fortune out on her runs, even when she ended up flipping her truck on it's backside she was still high spirited and did some cart wheels out on the track once she got out of her truck. All of the drivers had a lot of energy and were pumping up the crowd with their fun mini interviews during the event.

Following this there was a short intermission where they fixed anything on the trucks that needed to be fixed, fans could go get snacks, use the bathrooms, etc. then they came back for a free for all. Each of the drivers has a pretty amazing team behind them, they only have a set amount of time in between each half of the show to repair any damages that may have been done to the trucks. This includes rebuilding any part of the truck that may have fallen off during their stunts, replacing parts that burst or broke from how hard these trucks are driven during their short time out, and more. 

During the free for all each truck was given two minutes to drive the course and perform any number of tricks they wanted which were then judged using an app fans had access too. During the event as a whole, we saw some very high jumps, a few awesome flips and several accidents as well where trucks either ended up upside down or on their sides, and one even started to catch fire however the crew was really fast and put it out almost as soon as it had started. The show was pretty exciting because you never know what might happen during an event. My kids both enjoyed the show.

Good things to keep in mind before attending an event: If you don't want to spend a lot on food at the venue I suggest eating a head of time, arrive at least an hour before so that you have time to get into the parking lot, get through security, get to your seats and get settled in before everything starts. If you have small children, it can also get very loud during the event so it might be a good idea to bring a pair of protective head phones for them.

Water Lantern Festival Review!

I've always loved the movie Tangled & the scene where Rapunzel and Flynn are out on the boat and you see all the lanterns floating on the water that start to rise up into the sky. When I saw that a event called the Water Lantern Festival was coming that mimics part of the scene I knew it was something I wanted to check out. The Water Lantern festival isn't specific to one state, they have dates for all over the country and recently announced their 2022 dates (they will be adding more), the event we went to was in Tempe,AZ.

Tickets range in price, there are some discounts if you order early. The basic prices with fees are $31.96 for adults and $14.47 for children, each ticket comes with a draw string bag that contains a lantern kit, a marker, & a scavenger hunt ticket. Deluxe tickets are $45.96 and come with everything mentioned along with a mandala throw. Along side the festival there were several food trucks, and several different local vendors to shop from as well as the water festival merch booth and stage.

The event was at Kiwanis Park, We've never been to the park before so we weren't sure what to expect. Parking when we got there was a little crazy as the park is inside of a neighbor hood and parking lot space was limited so the entire neighborhood was packed with cars looking for spots in front of houses, waiting for people to leave etc. There was also a church event and a memorial going on at the same park so there was a lot going on! Thankfully we did find a parking spot about a quarter mile away with an easy walking path to the event. 

Even with the large amount of people at the park the event staff had everything moving along quite smoothly. We got into the check out line and were only in it for two minutes before being called up to be helped, they were well organized, speedy and friendly. We had the deluxe packs that came with a mandala throw, we ended up getting all of the same color so I asked if there was anyway to swap for another color as my daughter wanted an orange one and the staff said it was no problem and quickly switched it out.

There was a nice range of food trucks and vendors to check out and the event staff had a small stage set up where they were allowing people to sing, show off their talents, etc. As it drew closer to launch time for the lanterns they asked anyone who wanted to come up and share why they were there to do so. Some were there just to have fun, to go on a date night, to get out of the house, and others were there to remember a loved one, send their dreams or goals out into the ether and just relax. 

Everything was calm, the event seemed pretty mellow and everyone seemed to be having a good time. A large portion of the event was just relaxing in the grass decorating the lanterns, it was fun but also a pain trying to figure out what I wanted on each side of the lantern! It was awesome seeing all the different designs my kids and husband did. When everyone started putting their lanterns in it was beautiful to watch all of them floating out into the water. Shortly after we got in our car and went home. Where do the lanterns go? They have a clean up crew who goes through and picks up everything from the water and around the park to make sure the park is in the same condition (if not cleaner) than it was when they arrived.

Imagine 3D Mini Golf in Scottsdale,AZ.

 

We are always looking for fun activities to do as a family and my kids brought up wanting to play mini golf about two months ago. When they brought it up it was still pretty hot out so I didn't want to go to an outdoor course and opted to look for an indoor course instead, which is when I found a place called Imagine 3D mini golf (9180 E Talking Stick Way # F7, Scottsdale, AZ 85250) Which is a small family owned operation. It was between this and another option we were looking at, but ultimately decided to visit this location and I am glad we did. 

We recently stopped by for a second visit and I decided to write about it here on my blog so other AZ families could enjoy it too. They are open all week during the afternoon/evenings, normal pricing is $10.95 for ages 10+ and $7.95 for ages 4-9, the best deal day is on Thursdays after 5pm when you mention date night you get a BOGO entry. 

Both of the times we went we had two different experiences. The first time we went they were actually pretty busy and there were a bunch of different groups there, the girl who had checked us in told us we could either wait to play the next hole or feel free to play the same hole as another group. We didn't feel comfortable intruding on the group in front of us so we opted to wait our turn for the hole. Everyone there was pretty back to back, we were sandwiched in-between two large groups of visitors with more in front of and behind them and everyone being bunched up made some of the groups want to rush through their games, but everyone was mostly courteous and things worked out so everyone still had fun. 

The second time around, there was no one in front of us although a large party group came in directly behind us. We are a group of four so it didn't take us forever at each hole so we stayed about two holes in front of them. Some of the kids in the group would rush through and then descend on the hole we were playing, and run back and forth and over the obstacles getting in the way. Thankfully one of the staff members had come over and asked the group to kind of stick together and not crowd other groups which was nice of them to keep an eye on things. 

Everything in the facility is handmade by the owners and the staff that work there, it is hand painted and looks beautiful with or without the 3D glasses they hand out when you first enter.  We really like that each section you visit is a different theme, they have a castle theme, fantasy forest theme, under the ocean theme and more. I think my favorite is the ocean area because between the lighting and the paint it does feel like you are under water or at an aquarium. 

I was always kind of in the middle with mini golf mostly because I thought I would suck at it, so I was quite happy I did way better than I had expected even getting a few holes in one or only needing two hits to get it into the hole. At the start they have a score pad if you want or you can just play for fun which is what we did. All 18 holes range in difficulty, the first two are pretty easy and they increase in there with the number of obstacles, angles and more. I am not going to lie, there is one hole that is a pain in the butt and I actually ended up skipping it both times we were there because the ball just didn't want to go in the hole. 

If you get tired there are a few benches along the way so you can sit down and rest for a moment which is nice for anyone attending that needs it. Also if you keep an eye on some of the holes there are names hiding within the paintings, they are the names of the owners and staff who worked on the displays. The kids had a lot of fun seeing all of the different decorations and playing mini golf in general.

The time you spend on the holes will range, depending on the number of other groups, how many people are in your group and how quickly you are able to finish each hole you could spend anywhere from 45 minutes to two hours here playing a game. After you are finished they have two air hockey tables and a small arcade with some games (my husband won me a speaker from one of the games). Both times we had a good time and enjoyed our visit, it was nice getting out of the house and being able to do something with the kids. If you are in the area or near the area I suggest checking them out, they also have a location in Gilbert,AZ and as a bonus they give you a 20% off your next visit coupon when you are leaving.
