★★★★★a month agoTo be fair I only let my kids visit while we wait outside and have coffee ;) my kids enjoyed the place even if we don't follow futbol much. But they said it's pretty cool. Best part is that for kids they get full size pizza each. For a $5 entrance and free pizza 🍕 that's a great deal. Thank you to the ticket lady for letting us know about the free pizza ;)
