    **A Mixed Experience at a High-Tech Haven** Our visit to this activity center with family and friends was a mixed bag of delights and disappointments. On the positive side, the variety of activities available made for a fun-filled day. We particularly appreciated the high-tech games, which added a modern and exciting dimension to our entertainment. The allocated 75 minutes per person allowed us to explore the different games thoroughly. However, the experience was marred by a couple of drawbacks. One issue was the waiting time. Despite our allotted time, we found ourselves waiting for several minutes to enter the room, which was frustrating, especially when we were eager to dive into the activities. Additionally, the size of the venue was a letdown. It felt cramped, and this feeling was exacerbated on weekends due to the large crowds. The lack of space made it challenging to fully enjoy the activities without constantly bumping into others. In summary, while the variety of games and the high-tech setup were impressive, the waiting times and the overcrowded environment detracted from our overall enjoyment. With some improvements in managing crowd flow and perhaps expanding the venue, this place could offer a much more satisfying experience for visitors.

    I recently had a really good time at Activate, and I must say, it was the most fun "active" activity I've ever experienced! From the moment I stepped into the facility, I could tell it was clean and well-maintained. Though the initial encounter with the staff member who greeted us was a bit bland, we met another staff member towards the end who made us want to come back. The variety of games offered at Activate was insane. There was something for everyone, from competitive games that gave you an adrenaline rush to engaging team-building exercises. The activities with tiles on the floor, laser tag, basketball, mazes, and more kept us entertained throughout the entire time. What amazed me the most was the smooth sign-in process for each game. I think for $24.99, it was an amazing experience and I learned that the more we go, the more discounts we earn until you reach 25%. Activate also rewards participants with items as they level up and conquer more challenging versions of the games. I wholeheartedly recommend Activate to anyone seeking an action-packed day with friends or family. So, if you're looking for an epic adventure, head over to Activate, you won't be disappointed!

    "An Energetic Experience Worth Trying" Our visit to this high-tech activity center was an absolute blast! We stumbled upon it, thanks to Yelp and couldn't have been happier. Signing in was a easy; they provide bracelets for easy access to each room and give lockers for your bags with a separate blue bracelet. Some of the games here are a cardio workout in disguise, and we loved every sweaty moment. There's a minimum of 2 players and a maximum of 5 for most games, we were four and it was a perfect group. Some games offer competitive options, while others are cooperative, catering to various group preferences. We do recommend visiting on weekdays, as weekends tend to get crowded. We had to wait for our turn, but the games are quick, so it wasn't a major issue. Our top picks were Hide (like Red Light Green Light from Squid Games), Mega Grid, Laser, and Hoops! In summary, we highly recommend this place for an action-packed, heart-pounding adventure. It's a must-try for those seeking a unique and thrilling experience. Thank you, Yelp, for the discovery!,

    I had an amazing time & experience with my son today! This place is a fun, adventurous place for children but adults as well! Wear comfortable clothing, athletic shoes, and be prepared for the games to begin! 75 minutes of various games in game rooms that challenge u physically & mentally ! Think of Squid Games!! Definitely would recommend!! The layout is amazing , relaxing & sensory safe with soft LED lights!!! Once u register u will be able to check your score ( especially amongst other players ), win prizes, & the top players get called back for a bigger challenge ! Definitely would recommend! Staff was great and it appears to be a great party hosting spot!!!

    The activate game room is well organized. Check in was seem-less, we got a safety locker to store our stuff and one of the staff people took us in and explained how to play and sign up for the games. The gentleman that helped us knew the rules very well and was able to answer all of our questions. The games are all interactive and require some level of movement and skill. We were there for an hour and got to play in every room. We had so munch fun and before we knew it we ran out of time. I can totally see us coming back to play more. I can see Activate being a great family activity or team building spot for work events.

    Amazing place! Incredible customer service by the gaming staff instructors. 11 different rooms. Each either there own levels and variety of different hands on visual games. Great for kids, adults, a date, whatever the reason. There are matching, climbing, ball throwing, capture the flag and then hide from enemies. At the end of your expierence they give you a fab that saves your data and progress so you can come back and finish where you left off. Awesome experience. 10/10 would recommend.

    Check in was easy. If you have belongings, you can use one of their free lockers. Employees were all very helpful and you can tell that they really enjoy their jobs. Directions on playing each game are written. They also verbally tell you when you enter into the rooms. There is a lounge to hang out as well as restrooms/water fountain. All of the games were very engaging, some require more cardio than others. Highly recommended for couples and groups of friends/family. This is a place that I see myself coming back more often,
