Jeepers! was a family entertainment center in West Nyack, New York, USA. It opened in 1998,[1][2] and closed in 2006.

Overview

This Jeepers! was located in the Palisades Center, a mall that was home to many different stores, restaurants, and entertainment. Jeepers! was on the fourth floor in the space now occupied by Lucky Strike Lanes (a bowling alley.) For some time, Jeepers! operated on the third floor as Krazy City in the space formerly occupied by the JCPenney Home store, but our focus today is on the original license.

Aside from rides, Jeepers! also featured arcade-style games, like Spider Stompin' and Buzzy Buzzy Bee. You could redeem tickets from these games to win prizes like a Hamtaro plush. It also served food including pizza from Pizza Hut, chicken tenders and fries, salads, etc. The mascot of Jeepers! was a gorilla named JJ who would greet guests when it was someone's birthday.
