What parents say
"Kids had a birthday party of 6. The reservations were easy to do and kids had a great time. Location is well kept and staff is friendly. Wish I had known about the 8 party person discount as we had 6 (must have missed it on checkout)."

"Makes it feel like you are really in the game. Fun, active, gets you sweaty, and can be a fun co-op with microphone communication. Went into sewers and flew in a helicopter. Went for a date night and it was incredibly fun! Absolutely a thrill. Shamir was super helpful getting us into it. Ask for him."
