The two centres in Harrisburg: asked and answered
Short answers to the things worth knowing in advance.
The ice park is at 8111 Concord Mills Blvd in Concord, North Carolina - a real rink with bumper cars that spin on it.
For a Harrisburg 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.
The short answers
The XCAV zone is at 433 Opry Mills Drive in Nashville, Tennessee. Four machines, one crate of plastic balls, and children at the controls.
Let the child lead the order of things. Adults optimise; children choose the thing that looks best, and they are right more often than they are wrong.
The longer answers
New Life Entertainment runs two rooms that share nothing except the way they are run. One digs, one skates.
Families who know both tend to have a favourite per child rather than per family, which is a good sign for a pair of venues.
Still worth asking on the day
The ice park is at 8111 Concord Mills Blvd in Concord, North Carolina - a real rink with bumper cars that spin on it.
Take the phone out of your pocket before they start rather than after. The moment worth filming is usually the first one.

Planning your visit in Harrisburg
Weekends bring more of Harrisburg out at once. If the schedule allows a weekday, take it; the same visit is quieter and the machines wait for nobody in particular.
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.
Bring less than you think. Coats and bags are the part of the visit nobody enjoys managing.
The drive back to Harrisburg is where you find out what they actually thought. Children review an outing about twenty minutes after leaving it, never during.
