A theme park car carts, water slides, zip lines, mini golf, arcade with a restaurant that serves nachos, hotdogs, candy, burgers, fries, milkshakes, sundaes and more
Yes definitely would love to see something like this. We need more things for the kids to do that us parents can enjoy as well.
We had a place like this before. It was called Southern Adventures. It was off Leeman Ferry.
It was a lot of fun- I think it needed to be updated not closed but the go carts and bumper cars were great – something with a variety of things up to date would be great kids AND ADULTS !
I would LOVE an HMart!!! The closest one is in Atlanta and I would be thrilled if we got one here.
Need more of family restaurants!!!
Red Robin, Olive Garden, red lobsters, or any restaurant that family with young children can enjoy in any better restaurant! There are toooo many fast foods out in Madison City! Tiring parents can grab dinner for family after sports so they can eat healthy dinner than having fast foods.
Please build more family restaurant in Madison City!
Best way to get big corps attentions is eat where and what we already have. Applebees has been in Madison for very long time. If we fill that resturant every night and give them waiting times. Other Resturants and chains watch it. One reason why Town Madison and Madison Blvd doesn’t have tons of sit down because the demand besides lunch time business has never been there. If we fill Logans, Applebees, Cracker Barrel and some of the locals also like Libbys we will get more options or start Emailing corporate and tell them we want them. These types of resturants dont usually go towards. Big Factory’s because most dont get enough time to eat and enjoy on a break.
YES … we really need an UPDATED Olive Garden and other nice restaurants …. Maggiano’s – so many Mexican places let’s bring in GOOD Italian places …. Also a Home Depot or Loews in the Madison area close to Bridge Street or so ….. tooo many car washes !
Wish we had like an 80s arcade! Vintage games, go cart racing, etc….. kids could have a good safe place to hang out during the best years of their lives!
Pints and Pixels has classic games lining all walls! It’s in downtown Huntsville! And family friendly!
Wish some of these restaurants and entertainment would locate in NW Huntsville.
