"Last weekend, my family and I decided to set aside some time for a family date. The main sentiment was let's go do something fun then head to dinner. It was pretty cold out with the potential for rain, so we settled on heading to Galaxy Fun Park in Raleigh just across the Wake Forest border in Wakefield.Galaxy Fun Park took over an old grocery store and has been around for a few years. They have a trampoline park, huge kid climbing thing called mission control, a ropes course, go-karts, bumper cars, laser tag, a bazillion video games and black light mini golf. Near the trampoline park they also have an elevated observation area with a bar, just in case you want to grab a drink while you watch the kids bounce through the trampoline part.On our trip first up was the mini golf. The entire course is nearly pitch black, with lots of black lights and neon reflective paint. It was a pretty solid course, not crazy hard, but plenty challenging since it was harder to see. Perfect for a family outing with kids…even toddlers would have fun…our kids are 10 and 11 for perspective. Next up my wife and son did the bumper cars, which are super fun, and my daughter and I raced on the go-kart track.All in all, this is a great place to take the kids or even an adult outing. I would recommend that if you go to buy a band so you get unlimited rides over the course of a couple hours, because buying individual tickets for each ride gets pricey pretty quickly. Oh, almost forgot, they have birthday party rooms there too, so parents, check it out next time you are thinking about something different for your kids' party."
