Thunder Road

Now that the thunder storms and heavy rains have finally come to a calm, my daughter’s been asking—no begging—for a trip to Thunder Road Family Fun Center. Soon she’ll be able to legally drive here in the state of South Dakota and practicing on the Go-Karts gives her comfort. I doubt she’ll be getting her driver’s permit anytime soon. After all, she’ll only be fourteen and I’m just not ready to let her behind the wheel at such a young age—I even made my son wait until he was 15 to get his learner’s permit—but letting her practice on a few Go-Karts…I can handle that!

My daughter drags us here every summer to practice her driving skills while my son challenges his dad (my husband) to the batting cages—”Who can hit the most balls at what speed?”

Since I’m not a fan of 70 mph balls flying at my face, I opt for the Go-Karts, too. It’s fun speeding around the track in a battle to the finish line, but I must admit that I am not a fan of all the illegal bumping going on as it can take a real toll on one’s back and neck.

Besides the batting cages and Go-Karts, Thunder Road is the home of the human foosball, miniature golf, water wars, and a climbing wall. Each event is priced separately so come with lots of money.

If your tween is nearing driver’s license age, you may want to check out Thunder Road Family Fun Center—just make sure your doctor gives you the okay if you have neck or back problems. Then visit Thunder Road Family Fun Center online for a location nearest you or drive to 201 N. Kiwanis, Sioux Falls, SD or call 605-334-4181.
