Whirly Dome

Not going to lie, when my cousin Kathy D. first told me about Whirly Dome I was super excited! Indoor bumper cars with sticks and a wiffle ball, sign me up pronto!  My group met up to celebrate a graduation. We started off at the restaurant side for dinner and drinks. The drinks and shots were reasonably priced for I-Drive.  Luckily for my group we came early enough to beat the Friday crowd. We were able to jump onto the whirly ball court without a wait.  For those that bruise easy, wear some pants. Whirly ball is so much fun when you're actually playing! If your whole group is 8 or more people then consider the following:

1) Spring for the full hour of play time. 10 minutes goes by really fast when you are playing with friends.
2) Keep track of your own score. There were times when we scored, but it wasn't recognized.
3) Don't be afraid to tell the operator to pause the clock. The bumper cars malfunctioned  and the wiffle ball sometimes gets thrown into hard to reach spots.
4) Ladies, leave your purses with someone not playing. There's really no place to put your bags unless you leave it behind the closed employee doors.

Some games were limited and dated here. I thought it was peculiar that 2 identical games were side by side each other, yet the machine on the right was 1 token more. Also, bathrooms in the back were extremely warm, kind of like the AC was cut off. Come for the activities, but save your money on the video games.

Located off of I-Drive, Whirly Dome is a pretty fun place to go with some friends or even with the company as a teambuilding outing.

I went with some family and friends and had a blast.

Basically it's like playing lacross with bumper cars and basketball nets without the nets for goals.

It takes a lot of strategy and team work to win...and some aggressive maneuvering of the bumper cars.

I'd do it again

Whirlyball was fun. We are 33 and 38 and had a blast. Silly, but fun.
