    Went for a birthday and the kids had a blast. The pizza for the party was good. There's also laser tag and bowling. It was busy but not awfully crowded.

    This was a fun family place. Kinda like a Dave and Busters, but with bowling and laser tag. Staff was super helpful, and the place was very clean and well maintained

    Had a great time here with my 7 year old. They have the typical arcade games with options to earn tickets, or you can purchase an unlimited play pass that does not earn tickets. They also have pool tables, air hockey and shuffle board. That bowling lanes have bumper and ball ramps to help the kids. The gravity ropes overhead obstacle course was awesome!

    We brought our 3 teens here on a Sunday. Bought the activity pass for our son who loves laser tag and pool. $23, great deal. Figure he'll do laser tag a few times, bowl a game and play pool. Nobody registered for laser tag in the 2 hours we were there. We got $35 game cards for our teen girls and one for my husband. Spent $65 on food and drinks. Half the games didnt work. We kept having to find the only tech on the floor, who's working on some of the games, to have him come over and try to fix it or refund us. I saw several other ppl just walk away when games didn't work. Half the time, even if worked they didn't keep accurate score. Son and husband bowled and the bumpers were up, but wouldn't come back down. They tried the buttons for the bumpers. Didn't work. Tried to find someone, they eventually just bowled with the bumpers. Food was pricey but okay. They credit system is wayyyy overpriced for what you get. 12 credits for one of the games? The soap dispensers in the women's bathrooms were dismantled. They at least had hand sanitizer walking out, which I guess makes it okay? Pass wasnt worth it. The game cards weren't worth it. Food was okay. The prizes for the tickets weren't great. The place needs better maintenance. I'd tell you to spend your money at Scene75 if given a choice for the drive. Their best location is in Dayton. We spent more money here than we did at Scene75 but felt like we got a much less value and had less fun if I had to compare. If I didn't compare, its okay. 🤷

    It was so much fun. Go before 12 for the $14.99 everything included except video games, You'll need to purchase that separately. Gets packed within the first hour of being open. Laser tag a blast. The gravity ropes, they only let you on 10 minutes...make sure to reserve your spot asap for laser tag and gravity ropes at the gift/prize shop. We had lots of fun and you get hot quick.😜 Enjoy!

    Fun place to spend some time n money with friends. They have a bar and food. We got drinks n pizza. Pizza was good but nothing special. We ordered nachos as a starter and it came rt after the pizza. Nachos were good just a bit late. Games were all fun. Ppl helped if they got stuck. Bowling was also fun, quite expensive, but well organized.

    This place is a SERIOUS waste of money. We bought 4 wrist bands at $23 each, had enough time to play one game of pool and they inform everyone that the entire establishment is closing for a private event! When we found the manager to complain he said he would refund everything except the game of pool (I figured $9 because that’s what there sign says) $9 up to 4 people! Nope, he charged us $9 for each person who played a game. So we paid $36 for one game of pool! There website was not updated to show the closing neither was there google page! Manager was very cocky and didn’t care at all, not only about our satisfaction but clearly anyone because he stood there as they continued to sell wrist bands without informing a single customer! Serious waste of time and money!!

    We went to the Halloween event and it was great! It wasn't too crowded. They had things for the kids to do and deals for the whole family. They had a costume contest and my grandson won the first place prize. I love main event. The food was good and so were the drinks. I would definitely do the Halloween event again if they continue to have it.

    My family loved this place! We plan to host a birthday party here too. There is a bowling alley inside and plenty of pole tables. There is something for all ages. Best to go early.

    Took my 11 year old and his friend here for his birthday. Went on a Monday night where the games and activities were unlimited. 12.99 for games, 12.99 for the activities. Had to pay for both to do activities and they let then share a game card. So 40 bucks my son, his friend and mom and I played games and had a ball for about 5 hours. We got food. It was great. Kids got pizza, i got the lava burger and wife got the nashville hot chicken sandwich. Fries and tots and shared the pretzels. Everything was way above average and I thought the prices were fair for the type of place it was. Nice draft beer selection. The bar was ran by 2 women and they were struggling bit working hard to keep it all flowing. We had an absolute blast and I didn't feel like I was robbed of money which Is rare these days. Highly recommend

    If you wanna go bowling this is the right place and you can play so many games and if you are bored the top Golf is right next to it and including the Amc theater is near a great place to stop by.

    Definitely not how it use to be, very dirty the bathrooms had toilet paper all over the floor and even coming out of the bathrooms, people leaving their cups everywhere, kids standing ontop of the basketball game tables, kids hiding in the zombie game area smoking weed on their vapes, I spoke to a manager about the kids staying inside the zombie game area and she did get them out so we could play just to find out the 3D glasses were ripped out and stolen from the game. Just a very dirty not well managed with kids or I should say ( teenagers who should know better but are careless )
