What parents say
"We did Game Night Out last night with a group of 12 friends. It was a blast! Our hosts Rio & Abby were so engaging and fun! All the games were so fun! Everyone in our party loved it! We were celebrating my birthday and the hosts made me feel very special. It was so much fun! The cost seems higher than necessary and the price for drinks is really high. But we appreciated being able to bring in our own food. It was a great night of games, laughs, and fun!"

"When I learned our company holiday outing was at this place I didn't know what to expect. I was thinking something along the lines of us splitting up into teams and playing board games or something. So my expectations were low. Ultimately I was blown away with what I experienced. This was AMAZING!! Our organizers were quite energetic and explained instructions for the games very well. The only complaint I have was that it ended! This place is perfect for team building and holiday gatherings! If you have never been, you should!"
