Family Dining and Entertainment Venue-Home to the Area's Only Indoor Thrill Rides-Voted Gazette's Best Of

In just four short months, iT'Z Food & Fun, located at 3035 New Center Point, has been named the Best New Family Attraction, according to the Colorado Springs Gazette's annual Best Of poll.

Now in its 14 th year, the Best Of guide is determined by votes from select Gazette reporters on all that the Pikes Peak region has to offer. This year's poll included nearly 400 categories.

"We are truly honored that the Colorado Springs community considers us the best new family attraction in town," said Mark Moore, president and CEO of iT'Z. "We look forward to being a long-time community partner and doing whatever we can to remain the community's favorite." iT'Z opened the Colorado Springs store in February.

In being selected as the top attraction, Gazzette reporters said, "iT'Z combines the high-end video games of Dave & Busters with the kind of thrill rides we miss from JoyRides, the carnival games of Manitou's Arcade Amusements and an elaborate Golden Corral-style buffet. It's sure to ensure fun for kids 5 to 17 and exhaustion for parents of all ages."

With more than 45,000 square feet of dining and entertainment space, iT'Z offers some 130 video and redemption games, exciting thrill rides, an indoor mini bowling alley and more. In addition, there's free wifi for customers, themed dining rooms, and an expansive buffet that includes pizza, pasta, a taco, salad and baked potato bar, hot soups and tasty desserts.
