Cracker Jax, opened in 1996 at 16001 N. Scottsdale Rd., is a 28-acre family fun park offering go-karts, mini-golf, batting cages, and an indoor arcade stocked with more than 100 video and redemption games. The game room—billed simply as “The Arcade”—features classics like Skee-Ball alongside modern ticket machines, and remains a popular cool-weather retreat in metro Phoenix.
