I only found out a year ago that Eastgate Adventure was closed. Since they I have had one question/concern,and in trying to answer that found your site. Maybe someone here knows the answer.

I snuck into the property a day or two after they had finished auctioning off the contents, just before they started actually moving things around. I used to go here at least a few times per summer, including the summer before it closed - there are quite a few thrilling go-kart stories I can relate.<br /><br />When I was in sixth or seventh grade, I remember mom and I taking a ride on the go-karts and making some remark about working here in high school. The guys working there said something about how it wouldn't be around by then. I believe it closed right before I graduated - just barely survived that long.HarvestmanManhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07544709986170046198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7812116909571848352.post-56345492643749379252014-02-23T14:26:35.046-05:002014-02-23T14:26:35.046-05:00I really like following your blog as the articles ...I really like following your blog as the articles are so simple to read and follow.

Still to this day the greatest job I ever had, so many great memories there. That wedding photo you put up is actually the last owners son.

I spent my childhood playing there, counting the days until I would be tall enough to ride the go karts. My dad's annual family picnic was there every year for as long as I could remember and this past year just wasn't the same at a new location without all the memories. When I was in high school my uncle bought the place and I, along with a number of my cousins, started working there. I think at one point there were 5 cousins working there all at the same time! The wedding picture you found is actually my cousin and his wife, they stopped by between the ceremony and reception for some pictures and memories. I loved going to Eastgate Adventures! I got numerous hole in one shots (some actually legit) and loved to feed the fish in the lake. Those fish were an amazing site to see and sometimes that was just as big of a draw to guests as the go karts or the mini golf! While working there we had a few late nights riding the go karts after closing or climbing the mountain to hang out.<br /><br />I am now 30 and about to get married. Unfortunately my kids won't be able to experience all those great family memories I had, but Eastgate Adventures will forever be a part of my family!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7812116909571848352.post-47010074478106513932013-10-20T23:48:38.670-04:002013-10-20T23:48:38.670-04:00I really enjoyed this article.

Putting there was somewhat "expensive" for a larger family, so we only went on special occasions. I celebrated my 9th birthday there 20 years ago. As an adult, I went on a double date there with my now husband of 10 years. I'd venture to guess that most of the people who grew up within 10 miles of it visited at one time or another. It really was a fun place. The putting, the go karts, even the arcade...I have memories in all of it. I've since moved to NKY, but my mother still lives near by. The "clover" highway was always a traffic nightmare and needed redesigned badly. I am surprised it took Children's Hospital purchasing nearby land to get it done.Bethhttp://facebook.com/bhanspaytonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7812116909571848352.post-18189830008315281362013-09-19T02:06:26.932-04:002013-09-19T02:06:26.932-04:00Thanks!

When I visit family in Cincinnati I have felt extremely sad driving past the abandoned sight of it. I'm glad you included the "why" it had closed, I had not taken the time to figure that out. When the Putt-Putt in Anderson closed (which was also sad!), it was the only outdoor mini-golf location in the area.
