From the moment you check in, Nomads greets you with a menu of choices appealing to boys and girls, and a variety of age groups. We spent about four hours here, and like any good parent, I was able to pull away my daughters only by bribing them with ice cream.

Whether you choose to host a party here, or just spend a family day, you can look forward to a vibrant, colorful environment filled with fun:
Rock Climbing
Featuring the theme of ancient ruins, the climbing wall poses three levels of difficulty and is challenging without being intimidating.
Indoor Black Light Mini Golf
Find your way through a maze of decorations, including cobras and ancient ceremonial figures. The course is complete with black lights and everything glows in the dark, making it a complete hit with kids.

Bumper Cars
Distracted driving is allowed in this arena, where a music and light show adds to the excitement.
Inflatable Bounce Houses
Get ready to conquer more than 10 inflatables. Kids will have a blast running free, climbing, sliding, and doing all the stuff they can’t do on the furniture at home.

Arcade Games
Test your skills and talents, or just have a great time exploring more than 110 games geared toward all ages. The games can be played alone or as a team, which takes sibling rivalry to another level. Children will be excited about trying to win prizes, ranging from candy to stuffed animals.
In addition, kids taller than 42 inches can go for a spin on a tea cup ride, test their aim and evasion skills in a game of laser tag, or bowl while enjoying music and glow-in-the-dark art. When it's time to take a break, on-site meal options include salads, burgers, sandwiches, pizza, and pastas. Throughout the year, Nomads also features special family-friendly events.
