I was able to attend the soft opening of the new Coral Cliffs Entertainment in Hurricane and found a place that will be a lot of fun for the people of Southern Utah. It includes, bowling, games, miniature golf, a restaurant, and much more.

Exciting Activities Await: Axe Throwing and Games

The people of Hurricane have been watching this place rise next to the Coral Cliffs Cinema for the last several months. It is now opening to reveal all the fun inside. The first thing we checked was the axe throwing.

This isn't just throwing the axes into the wall. It has a projected display that lets you play all kinds of games like popping balloons and hitting targets. The dart game next door is similar.

Innovative Bowling with Spark Technology

Then we learned about duckpin bowling that is popular on the east coast. This uses a smaller ball and pins that reset quickly with tethers. It is fast paced and a lot of fun. There is also traditional bowling with the full lanes, although it also offers some new technology.

Nathan Bronemann, one of the managers explained what the bowling alley offers. "It runs with spark technology and projects images on the lanes," said Bronemann. "There are some games with robots, or angry birds that you can play."

There are tons of arcade games where you can win tickets and prizes. There is also inside and outside miniature golf. This is a great spot to have a birthday party and they have rooms along the back that you can use to eat the cake.
