Boondocks Fun Center offers a variety of fun activities in one location.  They offer a large arcade, laser tag, several types of go-karts, kid's play area, flight simulator, bumper boats, batting cages and two miniature golf courses.  Activities for younger children and older ones are close to each other.   The center seems to very clean and well-kept.  Parking is on-site and free, though on busy days it is difficult to find a spot.  Tickets can be purchased for individual activities or for unlimited fun.  If you plan to spend much time there, the unlimited pass is definitely the way to go since individual tickets add up quickly.

There is a restaurant on-site which serves pizza, sandwiches and ice cream.  The food was good and moderately priced.  The restaurant staff was friendly and courteous. 

We did find a few drawbacks to Boondocks.  The wait for rides on the weekend were very long.  Also, we noticed some of the employees were quite grouchy and unfriendly to the children.  Some of the activities have height requirements (such as the go-karts) which were enforced rather arbitrarily.  We watched as several times children were turned away for a ride based on their height (though they appeared to be right at the height requirement), only to have a shorter child allowed on the same ride minutes later by the same attendant.  This would happen after a child had waited in line for quite a long time.
