- JRjulie rhoads3 days ago5.0We had a birthday party at Main Event for my son who turned 8. We had an amazing time! We booked the party for ten kids, bowling and laser tag. The boys had so much fun. Additionally, I booked two extra lanes and had an order for extra food for siblings and parents which kept everyone entertained, fed, and affordable. Lastly, the party package includes arcade cards so they were able to enjoy the arcade for a good while. One thing to be aware of is laser tag is only 15 minutes long. With the party package, you get a party coordinator so as a parent, you can just enjoy the party without having to really plan what's next and everything just keeps moving along. The boys definitely got rowdy but the atmosphere was great for it. It's a large enough venue with music that their noise got drowned out by music and tvs and arcade music.
- RARebecca AndersonNov 16, 20255.0This is a great place to host a birthday party or family time. There is plenty of activities for everyone to enjoy such as bowling and video games. The hostess was very friendly, helpful and served our pizza in a timely manner. I would recommend this location super pleasant experience.
- MAmakayla arthurNov 8, 20255.0Our server was very attentive and got our food out quickly, manager Ashton came by and checked on us to make sure everything was going well! Fun Saturday night with the family. :)
- ACAmanda CarsonNov 1, 20255.0We came for my daughter’s 15th birthday as a family. It was a great experience. First, Mikayla helped us pick what gaming options were best for us. She was very helpful and patient as we went back and forth on what was the best fit for us. Nikki was our server while we bowled and she was very attentive. Then I had a really fun interaction with a staff member, Keoni. We bonded over the importance of having large to go cups, which main event does, and she made sure she brought me one so I could get a soda to-go. Great experience all around.
- JHJamal HarrisOct 19, 20252.0I am writing to provide feedback regarding the service we received for our recent event . While we appreciate the flexibility shown by the event manager and sales rep regarding our gel blaster request ( which is why we are giving it an 2 star), our overall experience with the party host service was well below expectations. For instance, we were disappointed that despite arriving 45 minutes early, our party was not acknowledged until the official start time. It was also discouraging to see guests who arrived after us greeted before we were. We believe that acknowledging guests as they arrive, even if their area isn't ready, would significantly improve the guest experience. Furthermore, our assigned host was largely absent throughout the event. We found ourselves independently handling tasks such as setting up the bowling lanes, locating rags to clean spills with their own supplies, and getting serving items for our cake. This level of self-service is not what we expected when booking a hosted party package. Based on this experience, we would not recommend booking an event here if you expect dedicated hosting. I believe that providing a more consistent and present host would greatly improve the service provided for hosted events.
