What parents say
"Our 5 adult family had a fun time! Variety of arcade games & claw machines, laser tag, bowling, ropes course, pool tables, bar, couple restaurants. Staff was helpful and attentive. Lexx makes wonderful margaritas ($8 and $10 option) and was fun to chat with. Arcade card packages vary. We chose a $59 package (per person) which was option 3 of 5 in the cost range displayed. Lasted us all a couple hours, but would depend on the player. Cards can also be loaded for any dollar amount (prorated credits). Laser tag, Bowling, ropes course are extra. An app day wrist band may be available for purchase,"

"Came for a fun morning of arcade games. Almost a third of the games were shut off, broken, and the balls/pucks sick or missing. Staff was all very young and lacked basic communication skills."

"This place is fun for families of all ages! During bowling, our server Michael was awesome and he couldn’t get any better! He took such great care of us and was what any boss wants in an employee I feel. If you’re looking for a variety of things to do, look no further and come here!"
