Hickory Falls Family Entertainment Center is located along Broadway (Route 194) in Hanover, PA. Its address is 110 Hickory Lane. It’s easy to get to from the Route 30 traffic circle in Abbottstown.
There are a wide-variety of activities at Hickory Falls, including an outdoor mini golf course, indoor play area, laser tag, indoor / outdoor go-karts, mini bowling, virtual reality games, a café with Rita’s Italian Ice, and an arcade.
The arcade games are very interactive and can involve throwing a ball, spinning a wheel, or picking up an object with a claw. There are game cards instead of tokens, and the game card also collects the amount of tickets won from the arcade games. The tickets can be redeemed for the usual arcade prizes.
The indoor play area has one long twist slide that exits the structure and another two slides within the play area. There’s only one entrance and exit that’s gated, making it easy to keep track of your kids. There’s also a bar with several chairs facing the play area, where parents can relax, or eat while their kids play. Since it’s a two-story play area, there is also seating upstairs where you can watch your children in the play area.
Hickory Falls also has a unique indoor/outdoor go-kart track. It uses electric go-karts, which can be slowed and stopped remotely. The track can be closed to the outside and form an oval, or it can be extended to the outdoors in good weather.
Indoor Laser Tag is another fun activity at Hickory Falls. The play area is two-stories with ramps leading to the other levels of the laser tag course. Upstairs, there’s a TV for viewing the game.
Hickory Falls also now has two virtual reality games. They are located on the second floor, and utilize headsets to emerge yourself in the game.
Outside, there’s a mini golf course with water falls. Finally, the indoor Lighthouse Pointe Café features snacks and meals like chicken fingers, pizza, mac and cheese, hot dogs and hamburgers. Rita’s Italian Ice treats are also available.
