The indoor driving range is awesome, the little putt-putt course leaves little to desire along with the popping that your ears will do onceyou enter the dome. They staff with high school and college kids, so expect attitude from time to time, and Lord forbid you try to use a coupon with some of these guys. It was a greatplace... More

We traveled there a few years ago so my date of April 2001 is not correct. Bumper boats were a favorite. Go karts were great too. More

Go-carts and batting cages are hard to beat for kids. Not to hard on the pocket book as well. More

Family First park has been here in Erie awhile---unfortunately--it is truly showing its wear with little upkeep. At a Birthday party recently--the party room thermostat was reading 85 degrees--they had to bring in an industrial fan which then made it so loud you couldn't hear. They allowed the kids to rde bumper boats, go karts, rock wall & bounce zone.... More

It's a shame, because this place has potential, but falls very far short of it. It is poorly maintained almost to the point of neglect, and is quite dirty in all of the indoor areas. We saw only one adult staff member, and he was wearing a dress shirt and slacks, and was on his hands and knees trying to... More

Having not been to Family First in two years, we were looking forward to the experience. The kids had fun ages 6 and 3, but it was a parents nightmare. So dirty in the inflatable area, the indoor mini golf which was a hit last time wasn't maintained at all. Fruit flies all over inside. Nice place but could be... More

We played in a soccer tournament at this location over the weekend and had a great time. There were a lot of things to do in between games and the facility was fully staffed. Prices were fair and there was a good variety of food and concession items. Prices were also very resonable. More
