JAG Swing-around Fun Town

Swing-around Fun Town is an entertainment complex about 5 minutes from our house which has both indoor & outdoor amusements/activities. We briefly visited it once before, but the seemingly high prices for individual items put us off buying any tickets. However, the JAG social group arranged for an excellent wristband offer which meant that all the outdoor activities were included & unlimited for a 2-hour period.

Despite choosing the early morning session, the weather was hot & sunny so our first stop was the bumper boats. Unfortunately (for me) Cheryl snagged one with a lower pointing water cannon so she was able to drench me from both far away & close up, whereas I (& everyone else) could only soak other people from a distance. Needless to say I would have probably been drier had I just jumped in the lake (& it would have been less embarrassing)! Beth then went on a few of the spinny type rides before we all played a game of crazy golf. This was followed by some time in the batting cages, successfully returning the slow, medium, & fast softball pitches, but only being able to return the odd fast baseball pitch. Cheryl & Beth then finished our time off with a few races in the dual engine go-carts. Since there were two-seater carts available, both of them could race together in the same cart.
