    Great place for entertainment for every age. They have bowling, laser tag, obstacle course, pool tables, and video games. They also have a restaurant that serves great food and appetizers. Check their website for specials, we got a great package on-line.

    Came here after Electric Pickle was closed for an event and immediately regretted it. This place was a complete mess from start to finish. Several of the games were broken and still took our money, which is honestly unacceptable. It felt like we were just throwing money away with no accountability from anyone working there. On top of that, my daughter is 42” and was still turned away from the human claw machine for no clear reason, which made zero sense and was incredibly frustrating. Service was just as bad. It took 20 minutes for a server to even acknowledge our table, and by that point we were already questioning why we stayed. The whole experience felt disorganized, poorly managed, and not worth the time or money. Between the broken games, slow service, and long waits, there was nothing redeeming about it. Definitely would not come back.

    Well! It was cool playing just under an hr of bowling when I was told it was 2 hrs. Ordered food for 4 people and when the food was ready our hr was up. This place is too expensive to bring a family. Will be bankrupt in a year or so. Noone was there but us and like three other families.

    We went to this as a family vacation day based on the online reviews. The cashier was not knowledgeable and could not explain the packages available. It was so loud near the service desk that we could barely hear the cashier. Many of the games did not work. They did not have enough employees to open the gravity ropes when we arrived but assured us they would have it open by 3 pm. We intentionally stayed longer than anticipated so the kids could enjoy the ropes but at 3:30 they advised us they would not be opening the ropes.

    Today we came to play bowling. I paid for 1 hour and he yild.memthatbthebwait time was 15 to 20 minutes. Then 20 minutes later I asked and another guy told me that the wait time got longer 20 minutes more. We waited 20 minutes more and I asked again, well my reserved and paid line disappeared. Very disappointed with the place. Then when we finally got a line the bumpers didn't work. What in the world...
