Most people buy a house or a boat. Eric bought a cave! 👀

We went underground at Crystal Cave in Wisconsin to explore the longest cave in the state, uncover its history, and find out what it’s like to actually own a cave. From bats and a 1950s fallout shelter to 480-million-year-old rock formations, this place has some incredible stories to tell!

📍 Location: Crystal Cave, W965 WI-29, Spring Valley, WI 54767

Open seasonally April through October. Book your tour tickets online ahead of time, as busy days can sell out!

Somebody actually built a Jersey Shore boardwalk with no beach 🎢

The Funplex in Mount Laurel, NJ started in 1997 when owner Randy Lahn wanted to bring the boardwalk trips he loved as a kid closer to home. Nearly 30 years later, it's a 25-acre playground that's open year-round, with thrill rides, a spinning coaster, a two-sided water park, go-karts, bowling, laser tag, a 4D dark ride, and one of the biggest arcades we've seen.

Jackie from The Funplex gave us the full tour, and we stopped by the prize counter to see the giant corduroy bears from our partner Rhode Island Novelty.

If you're anywhere near Philly or South Jersey, this one's worth the trip. Who are you bringing?

Swingers Las Vegas is a $50 million, 40,000 square foot crazy golf club dropped into the shell of an old Mandalay Bay nightclub. Three stories, four nine-hole courses, and the whole thing dressed as a 1920s English country estate with projection mapping that rolls the sky from day to night while you play. ⛳

Eli and I took on the Hot Air Balloon and Carousel courses, worked through the cocktail list, ate everything we could get our hands on, and got humbled in the carnival arcade. Caddies bring drinks to your putt, there's a bar on every level, and a hole in one on the ninth gets you a spin of the prize wheel.

Technically it's mini golf. Really it's a party you happen to play golf at. 🎉

Battle & Brew might be the closest thing we’ve found to the gaming basement you grew up in, except someone else cooks the food, mixes the drinks, and cleans up. 🎮🍔

With console stations, gaming PCs, hundreds of board games, themed drinks, trivia nights, tabletop events, and even a TARDIS restroom, there’s a LOT to explore.

And honestly? The food surprised us just as much as the gaming. The Il Classico burger and Cowboy Bibimbap were both 🔥

We had a blast checking out Battle & Brew in Sandy Springs, Georgia!

Craig's Cruisers started in 1979 with eight go-karts on a piece of property in Silver Lake, Michigan. Forty-five years later, the Grand Rapids location is West Michigan's largest family fun center: over 120,000 square feet of indoor food and fun, plus an entire outdoor park on top of it.

We got a full tour of the place. Laser tag in an arena built for 25 players at once. The Slide Zone trampoline park with basketball courts, foam pits, a slack line, and a rock wall designed for you to fall off of. The Cruiser Coaster, an indoor spinning coaster that blends a Tilt-A-Whirl with a figure eight track. Hundreds of arcade games and a prize shop. Immortal Jungle Glow Golf, nine holes under black lights. Indoor electric go-karts on a real track.

Then we went outside for mini golf, outdoor go-karts, bumper boats, and the Dragon Frenzy 360, which our producer Barry volunteered for a little too quickly. We finished in the 25,000 square foot restaurant that seats over 700 guests.

We visited Play Playground inside the Luxor in Las Vegas, 15,000 square feet of oversized, physical games built for adults who refuse to grow up. No VR. No arcade cabinets. Just real, ridiculous fun.

I brought my friend Eli to compete against me across seven games, High Five, Dr. Doctor, Move It, Bullseye Bounce, Word Up, and more, to settle one very important question: who is the biggest kid?

If you're heading to Vegas and want something different to do, Playground deserves a spot on your list. Trust me on this one.

We went to Las Vegas and got a behind the scenes look at Atomic Golf, a 100,000 square foot, four-story golf entertainment complex next to The Strat on the north end of the Strip. ⛳✨

Opened in 2024, this place has over 100 high-tech hitting bays, a digital putting district, six bars, chef-driven food, and a rooftop nightlife lounge. Oh... and a golf ball cannon!

Whether you're a golfer or not, there's something here for everyone. We're taking you through the whole venue floor by floor so you know exactly what to expect before your next Vegas trip!

From award-winning entertainment to chef-driven food, Star Lanes Polaris is redefining what a family entertainment center can be. 🎳✨ Recently named Family Entertainment Center of the Year by the AAMA - American Amusement Machine Association, this family-owned destination in Columbus, Ohio features bowling, arcade games, Omni Arena VR, incredible food, and a massive VIP experience unlike anything else in the area!

Spare Birdie Public House in Cedar Park, Texas is a next-level "eat, play, gather" spot where you can go from a full-swing golf simulator to battling zombies in a shooting bay to knocking down pins on the bowling lanes, all in the same visit. We tried it all so you don't have to guess what's worth your time (and money).

Whether you're planning a date night, family outing, or group hangout in the Austin area, this place deserves a spot on your list!

Paradise Park Novi in Novi, Michigan is more than just a family entertainment center — it's a 10-acre destination packed with over 10 attractions including go-karts, laser tag, an 18-hole mini golf course, a climbing wall, euro bungy, trampoline center, miniature bowling, a fun slide, and a state-of-the-art arcade. Admission and parking are free.

But the real story is the man behind it. Jeff Wainwrite spent years as Executive Vice President for a major Japanese electronics corporation, overseeing North and South American operations — until his kids pushed him to make a change. In 2005, he opened Paradise Park with a simple vision, and two decades later it's evolved into one of the most versatile event venues in Oakland County, hosting over 1,600 events a year ranging from birthday parties and corporate outings to bar and bat mitzvahs, wedding receptions, graduation parties, and overnight lock-ins.
