What parents say
""We stopped by Main Event in Stafford for my nephew Chase's 9th birthday party, and it was an absolute blast! The staff went above and beyond to make the celebration special. The games, bowling, and laser tag were a hit with the kids—and even the adults joined in the fun! The food was great, and the party setup was seamless. Chase and his friends had an unforgettable time, and so did we! This is definitely the perfect spot for a birthday party or family outing. Highly recommend!""

"Came for the Monday arcade game special (12 bucks for unlimited play). Brought my kids here to have a little fun but unfortunately most of the multiplayer games have some sort of malfunction preventing uninterrupted fun. Both connect 4 games are only able to be played with one person vs. the computer. Cleanliness wasn’t the best either. Restrooms doesn’t seem to be tended to regularly. Overall not a terrible experience but would definitely recommend going to another location."

"The manager ( Chris ) wouldn't address the food platter. Pretzel bread is extremely salty, and I paid for all night bowling. The game cut off every hour, which is understandable, but I couldn't get my next games started back up. It took over 20 minutes each time, so I only bowl 3 games. SMH"
