We always go to DQ, but my DS9 and DD11 are video game freaks. Although, I must say, the best things there are the virtual reality games...I have never found the treasure in the rafting game, I am terrible at it - I remember wrecking the boat several times....

But there are several games to play together as a family, and they are a blast! The Pirates game is so much fun, and the make your own rollercoaster is great.

We have found that weeknights and afternoons are best, and for our Sept. trip, we have at least 2 visits penciled in...I cant take for more than 2-3 hours at a time. Friday and Sat. nights, forget it! It is filled with teens and young adults on dates and such...not the right time for my guys. In Sept, though, we have been in an afternoon with very few people there, and it was great. The elevator ride is my favorite, actually...I try to take the elevator several times while I am there.

There is a "vintage" video game section with Qbert, Centipede, Galaga, all the great "oldies" from HS in the 80's! It makes me feel like a kid again!

We do the water parks, so our admission is included, but it is alot of fun!
