What parents say
"We had a great time at Main Event! The laser tag and rope course were both a blast and offered a lot of fun for a fair price. The arcade was also enjoyable, with a wide variety of games. To our surprise, the food was actually really good, and the service was decent. I’d definitely go back, but I recommend checking out the specials first, as there are some good discounts to be found. Overall, a fun spot for a day out with plenty to do!"

"The Main Event appears appear to be a fun family environment with a lot to do, especially for the price. The activities are fantastic, especially for the value. However, do not waste your money on the food. It is over price mediocre taste, and the overall service is less than seller. Our kids got their food and timely manner and while we’re waiting for our food, the waitress had us pay for the entire meal, which I thought was a bit peculiar and suspicious . After about 45 minutes I finally got my burger which was done incorrectly and they didn’t even apologize and acted like they were clue"

"I love that it has a bowling alley, arcade games, and a restaurant all in one. It’s fun because you can play without realizing how much time passes. It’s bigger than Chuck’s Cheese and has a variety of games, so it’s a place that teenagers can enjoy."
