There’s soon going to be another fun place to take the kids! A former movie theater and gym at Thornton Town Center is getting a thrilling makeover! The location is being turned into an indoor theme park called Malibu Jack’s. .

Originally founded in 2013, Malibu Jack’s specializes in transforming vacant buildings into entertainment hubs. With seven locations across the Midwest, this new Denver-area spot is set to be a game-changer.

Expect Go-karts, laser tag, a roller coaster, bowling, a drop tower, mini golf, motion theater rides, an arcade, and a kids’ play zone—plus about 100 new local jobs! The grand opening is just around the corner, with doors set to open by mid-September.
