Photos and video in Indian Trail: the questions parents ask
Short answers to the things worth knowing in advance.
The clips on the site were filmed in the rooms as they are. What is on the screen is what is in the room.
The drive back to Indian Trail is where you find out what they actually thought. Children review an outing about twenty minutes after leaving it, never during.
The short answers
For a parent with a phone, the useful thing to know is where to stand: at the rail level with the crate, or at the boards where the cars come back round.
The site keeps a gallery of clips from both rooms - a bucket coming up full, a car spinning on the ice, first laps that end in a laugh.
The longer answers
Video works better than stills here. The interesting part is always the movement - the swing of a cable, the spin of a car.
Bring a spare layer even in summer. Malls are air conditioned, rinks are colder than that, and a cold child is a child who wants to go home.

Planning your visit in Indian Trail
Parents from Indian Trail tend to ask the same first question: how long will this hold their attention. Long enough to be worth the drive, and short enough to leave while they still want more.
Feed them first. Every attraction in the world is improved by not being hungry in it.
The quietest hour of the week is the first one on a weekday morning in term time. The busiest is Saturday around midday.
For a Indian Trail family the trip works best folded into something else - the shopping that was happening anyway, a birthday that needed a venue, a Saturday that needed a plan.
