Guests wielding the power of a Fun Card can select any 10 attractions from the recreational buffet. Familial compatriots can battle for control of the top bunk or first dibs on the classified listings over 18 nautically-themed holes of miniature golf or on the 25 vibrant and eclectically-oriented hoops of the bank-shot basketball court. Enjoy solitary fun in single-person pursuits such as the tummy-twisting spaceball or the towering tangles of the spider mountain climbing structure. Senior members of the nuclear unit can vie for the pole position on the 1/8-mile road-course go-kart track, and their miniature associates can express youthful enthusiasm at Captain Hook’s House of Fun , home to ball pits, slides, and other apparatus commonly found on pirate ships. The antigravity offerings of the bungee trampoline and bouncy house entice aspiring astronauts, and super-soaking bumper boats divert prospective mariners (at least 4 feet tall) too young to begin crashing larger craft.
