Roller Coasters

When winter weather makes outdoor plans tough, Malibu Jack’s Indoor Theme Park in Lafayette is an easy “big energy” day trip. It’s a huge, all-indoor entertainment center with rides, games, and activities that work for a wide range of ages, from little kids who want to climb and bounce to teens (and grown-ups) who want coasters and go-karts. Instead of paying a general admission fee, Malibu Jack’s uses a Play Card system: entry is free, and you load money onto a card to pay for individual attractions or arcade games. The card also tracks tickets so you can redeem prizes before you leave.
