Disneyland is a costly escape... Disneyworld..? Even more. Yet, you want to bring the kids somewhere special, somewhere they can always remember for their 2013 summer vacation.... And that's where Brett and Kristine Crockett of Fiesta Fun Center in St. George come in.
Go-karts, bumper boats, mini-golf, kiddie carts, arcade games — Fiesta Fun Center believes no family should have to spend thousands just to have fun..... Right here in Utah, there's family entertainment that's as much for adults as it is for kids....
Here's something to think about — right now, it's critical to find ways to infuse enjoyment into the workplace..... Keeping positive attitudes in the workplace and saying "thank you" are critical components to job satisfaction, production and the bottom line. That's why many companies choose to reserve the entire Fiesta Fun Center facility for several hours and invite employees to bring their families along....
It's a great day for everyone, and employees love the break... In fact, a large grocery company recently reserved Fiesta Fun Center for a corporate retreat... Brett happened to be visiting the store and made a comment to an employee.... Fifteen minutes the employees were still talking about how much they had enjoyed themselves at the retreat.
Fiesta Fun Center has been in operation 20 years but Brett and Kristine have been operating it for 10...It's quite the change from their original positions in healthcare, but Brent said it's been fantastic ....They bought Fiesta Fun Center as an unsolicited sale and couldn't be happier.
School groups are another big market for Fiesta Fun Center....The kids and teachers get to bond, it's a great reward motivation, plus it gets the kids out of the classroom and into an environment where they can use their imaginations.... Kids love the freedom and the teachers love helping them burn off energy ... And it allows Fiesta Fun Center to support educators throughout the community.
Fiesta Fun Center is a great example of why CNN Money named St. George as one of the best places in the U.S. to live.
