Minnetonka staff said because this is a new business type to both Minnetonka and the metro area, there are some "unknowns" that may prove to be good or bad. However, they find that the proposal is reasonable and an appropriate use for the buidling that has been vacant.
The Big Thrill Factory will be a multipurpose recreational facility in 33,750 square feet of the former Kmart on Highway 101 and County Road 7 (17501 Highway 7). Activities in the new recreation center include bowling, bumper cars, laser tag, arcade, climbing walls and a mini golf course.
