Magic Mountain Fun Centers

I had the worst exprience at this establishment. I have never met a manager that has no clue about what customer service is. I was so stunned to see that a man like that shows no empathy for his own equipment not working and still argues over a game rule that is not on the rules posted on the walls. I hope somebody reachs out to me so that I can elaborate the setuation.
I will never go to this location and I will never recomend it to anywone. Period.

I read a few negative reviews, and was hesitant to go, but my nephew loves it. Needless to say we went. I was blown away by my experience. The staff was so friendly, and very attentive. The prices are a little high, but all family fun centers are. The facility is really clean despite being an older facility. The family pack is a great deal. 30 $ for four activities, a large pizza, and a pitcher of soda. The pizza is really good as well. We will definitely be back.

How is this place even open for business? I took my 7 year old son here for a fun day. It turned into a day of frustration and disappointment. We first tried to use the batting cages. The key word is «tried». Of the 7 pitching machines, 4 were out of order or simply ate our dollar tokens without any pitches. We went to the counter and they agreed to exchange the pitching machine tokens for video game tokens. We thought that was a good deal until we realized that about 25% of the games didn’t work either. Of the games that didn’t have «out of order» signs on them, we had to make 3 trips back to the counter to get our money back from machines that took our money and didn’t work. To show how bad it was, we ended up just leaving without using all of the tokens and not even redeeming our tickets for the so-​called «prizes». Save the frustration and go to the Polaris Magic Mountain instead.

Haven’t been to this location in a while, used to go all the time as a teen and loved it. They should be absolutely embarrassed though. I hate writing negative reviews but their miniature golf course is a joke. It was $ 14 for me and my son (7) to gold one round … Expensive considering you can go to nicer places like Westerville golf center for $ 4 each. But hey it’s close and I wanted to have some fun with the kiddo… The course is in the worst shape ice ever seen a course in anywhere. There were a few greens that were black almost, muddy holes, the ball won’t even stop because the greens are so worn. I will never pay for golf there again unless it’s fixed. I’ll drive 20 miles to Westerville. They should feel terrible charging people that much

My kids love it here, they are 4 and 6. From a parents point of view only the play area is good. I like to bring my kids to play when the weather is bad.
Outside of the play place is a money suck hole that is poorly kept and horribly laid out/​maintained. The arcade is poisonous to joy. Half the games don’t work, the ones that do are «crappy», as my six year old put it. The games are set on highest possible difficulty to increase turnaround time to new players. Prizes are ok but ticket payout is low so 20 $ in tokens will net you about 1500 tickets, and that is if you are as awesome at basketball game as I am.
The lure is putt — putt and go carts which I have used both but with other adults, not children. I won’t comment on them other than it is not a good first date idea.
The rest of the facility is a mystery to me as I never see them in use.
The structure, staff, and general impression of the average customer is don’t leave your stuff unattended and teach your kids about other kids who may not know of things like etiquette or manners or playing nicely or not biting or general civility. Also some street fighting maybe required.
This place can actually realize some of your worst nightmares as a parent if you are not careful. Proceed with caution and mace.

NOT a good experience. Pay for a 7min go cart ride and the mgr says the time starts when the employee opens the gate to let you in. It continues to run as he reads all of the rules. The kids rode for a total of 4 min. so he said it took him 3 mins to read the rules. I timed it, 1 min 10 sec for the rules and 4 min ride equals 5 min 10 sec. Manager didn’t want to hear it though. Putt putt course was fair at best. Also had to chase employees down to let the kids in the carts and cages. Will not return with my family of 4.

I mainly go here for the Kids Gym, which is discounted with free tokens on Tuesday afternoons after lunchtime. The facility seems fairly clean and I’ve always had decent service here. Sometimes there are a lot of machines out of order.

Smaller than you’d expect. Very loud. Pretty dirty. Way over-​priced. I really can’t say much more than that.

Do you enjoy chaos and the smell of cheese and vomit? If so, you might enjoy spending time in the lobby of Magic Mountain.
A few years ago, I used to regularly play Dance Dance Revolution, and this place was the best place in town to do that (and still is). The arcade has a balcony area where most of the «grown-​up» games are kept (i.e. the types of games that don’t appeal to young kids), and up there, it’s relatively peaceful. But down on the main floor… yeesh. It’s like a birthday party at the Duggar house, and they all brought their 50 best friends. I wouldn’t recommend this place even if you have kids. Everything on the ground floor is coated in pizza grease and bacteria, and the sound of children screaming is constant.
Outdoors, the batting cages are in poor working order, and they make you wear a weird-​smelling, ill-​fitting helmet with a face guard. I can’t comment on the mini-​golf course but it looks pretty lame from what I’ve seen.
So unless you’re coming here to play DDR, I don’t recommend coming at all.

Went here for mini golf, one of the most pathetic places I’ve played. Water features are over run by pond scum, muck and algae, pretty gross and mosquito infested.
Also, $ 7 per person for 18 holes is crap, especially since there were wait times for people to finish their play, and the confusing sales system took us 15 minutes to figure out you had to purchase mini golf, from the snack bar…
I hope their north columbus location is better, sure as hell wont be going back here anytime soon.

Although it’s still Magic Mountain, it wasn’t quite the same as Polaris. Believe it or not, I think I liked the mini golf at East better. It wasn’t prettier or had cooler decorations or more challenging holes, it was something about the set up. Call me crazy, but at least it seemed like it. The only difference is there are a few things missing from this one. There’s no buffet and as had been mentioned, the laser tag and bumper boats.

A while back, Greg and I had the pleasure of entertaining his two little cousins Jack and Andrew, ages eight and thirteen. They were in town from Arizona sans parents for two weeks. We were constantly looking for things to do to keep them busy and prevent them from arguing with each other. One of our most successful outings was to Magic Mountain Fun Center East.
It was sunny when we got there and began our round of miniature golf. But, this is Ohio, and within an hour the sun gave way to a gray sky and a torrential downpour. That didn’t stop us from finishing our game. We were soaked to the bone, but with no lightning, we didn’t feel we were at risk. The rain soaked the carpeted greens and hampered my game a bit. I had quite the lead before it started, but by the last hole, Greg suckered me by three strokes.
Back inside, we munched on pizza then geared up for arcade games. We played the classics like pinball and air hockey, then got a little more competitive on the interactive racing horses. Greg and I mounted the artificial stallions and jumped up and down working up a gallop until my calves nearly fell out of my legs. Needless to say, I lost the race. Meanwhile, Jack and Andrew were exchanging their tickets with some slightly disgruntled employees for sticky hands, which they later flung at each other until another fight ensued.
Also at the fun center were an indoor playland for kids, batting cages, and separate go-​cart tracks for both adult and pint size drivers 48−58″ tall. Greg and I decided to save those activities for next year’s visit from the kids. Once we’ve tried everything at Magic Mountain East, we may have to upgrade to the Polaris center to test out the bumper boats and the laser tag arena.
