WICKED FUN! It’s the dead of winter and everyone is climbing the walls. Get the crazy out while staying warm at WickedBall at Yorktown Shopping Center. This is truly the best activity for all ages! Not only did I have my own teenage daughters with me, but my 20 and 30 year old cousins, and their 7 and 9 year old kids, plus grandma….so yes, we thoroughly entertained the entire bunch – from 7 years old to 59 years old!
There is so much to do at WickedBall – Bubble Soccer; WickedArchery; Nerf Battle; Dodgeball; Table Games (Pop-A-Shot, Ping Pong, Air Hockey, Foosball, Bags); plus there is an Arcade Area with Fortnite, Beat Saber, Call of Duty, and so much more!
We played Bubble Soccer – well maybe not so much soccer, but definitely lots of wicked bumping into each other, followed by loads of laughs. Recreational therapy at its finest when the family is on the court together!
WickedArchery was up next - a bit like laser tag, but you are armed with bows and foam tipped arrows. It was so fun hiding behind the bunkers and taking aim at the ones you love so dearly. Your heart races as if you are in a live action film, and you feel totally like a kid again racing around the arena to score points for your team.
The virtual reality game was a big hit for those eighteen and older; and of course, Fortnite grabbed the attention of the youngest. We played
hoops, bags, air hockey, ping pong – literally so much to do!
Highly recommended! Checkout their mobile party options too – they can bring they fun to you!
