    And some seriously huge wrenches. The building where that was is still there but , they use the other building across from it now and the old building isn't open to the public any longer.
    Been that way for a good many years. And no bombs hanging any where in the newer building

    It was a forerunner of places like Chuck-E-Cheese except with better food and better service. Served mostly ice cream and catered to kid's birthday's and parties. We used to go there for our birthday's. They'd bring out some huge sundae filled with all kinds of ice cream and toppings on a dog sled with drums playing and lights and sirens.

    Last time I was there was probably in the mid 70's. I think they closed in the mid 80's. I don't even know where it was other than it being in Altoona. I know the area around Eldorado and the Logan Valley mall better than out where Alaska Land was.

    I am going to google it some and see if it rings any bells.
    Neither the name or the concept bring any memories.
    Judging from my memory and some old 8mm films , my early birthdays were at home or a relatives.

    Here ya go: https://www.google.com/search?q=alas...mydzobWRUz1OM:

    They had a kids door at the entrance. Right around the corner from the kitchen a big drum was mounted on the wall and when they'd bring out the big sundae it would start to play.
