    My youngest son and me both had a blast here. The workers were all very helpful and friendly. Even when to the gravity walk. My son had never done that and the gentleman that helped him was awesome and patient with him.

    We had a professional social meetup here and most seamed to have fun. Food is pretty basic, has a full bar, though our group was limited to beer and well/house drinks, they do have bottles for mixed drinks. Lots of arcades both interactive machines (skill) games as well as vedio arcade games. I did not bowl but others had a good time in the lanes.

    I was really excited to give this a try because it's nearby entertainment. We decided to go bowling for 2 hours, prepaid online. We get there, and during the first 45 minutes of our game, we had to go find a worker to help to reset our lane 3 times. There isn't a way to call someone over for help. They were kind enough to add the time on, but after the third time the lane stopped working, I didn't want to be there anymore. There were probably 8 or 9 open lanes, and I would have loved to have been offered to switch to a different lane, or offered a partial refund because our lane was clearly not working correctly. We left after the first hour and twenty minutes or so because it was not an enjoyable experience at all. Our 2-hour bowling excursion booked online was $90 with shoe rentals.

    Here for a child’s birthday, sat down to eat and ordered a Pizza Palooza. Staff came back and stated they are out of the pizza sticks (one side it comes with) and they WILL NOT sub anything for it. So we can’t order the pizza palooza at all! Had to completely change our order. (Part 2) first review, I left too soon… ordered instead a classic combo and a burger for the b-day boy (7yr old) classic came out wrong and no burger at all. Absolutely terrible!!!! Never again

    Food was good…beer was reasonably priced…but only half of games worked. The Operations Manager on duty blamed it on a nationwide issue which is likely some template answer and based on other reviews seems to be an ongoing issue. Not sure why this issue would only impact certain games. Also, we paid for a VR machine game but it didn’t work so we had to get reimbursed credits. Lastly, the air hockey machine was missing a puck. After paying $60 for a card and with two kids wanting to play each other, the gaming situation was a disappointment.
