    It's an alright place to go. Lazer tage is definitely for little kids. Bowling is good. They have real size balls and pins that don't use those strings so they fall properly. Food is alright.

    We've taken our daughter (5-7) here several times and have had an enjoyable experience every time. Twice, we have been attendees of a birthday party. Everyone seemed to enjoy the parties, and I heard no complaints about the service. We have had no negative encounters with staff, or any egregious issues with other guests. The facilities are well-maintained, and this is a great place to bring young children-to-tweens to ensure they're exercised and entertained to the max. As long as this location maintains or exceeds the current enjoyability, we will definitely be continuing to patronize Main Event plenty for many years to come!

    Half of the games weren’t working/broken. When went to speak to worker at the game area as she’s helping us she got on a call with her mom. The guy that initially helped us with our bowling shoes was great. When we went to the bowling our food got there before our drinks, and had to ask another worker to bring them not the original person. There was trash everywhere. It was horrible. Spent $80 for trash everywhere .

    Great Place to Visit in San Antonio Pro: This spot is perfect for a fun day out! It has a variety of activities, including pool tables, laser tag, bowling, a massive arcade, gravity ropes, and a spacious seating area. The food menu is extensive, so there’s plenty of options to choose from. The indoor temperature is just right—comfortable enough for short sleeves, not too cold or hot. We had wrist tags for unlimited games, which was awesome for enjoying all of the activities. Con: While the place is mostly great, the bathrooms could use some attention, as a few soap dispensers were out of order. Some arcade games weren’t working either, which was a little disappointing. On a positive note, there’s plenty of free parking, so that won’t be a problem when visiting. However, there isn’t a designated area for small children, though you can still manage by sitting them on your lap while playing.
