We had a good time the kids had fun the laser tag was really cool and games geared toward younger kids as well as older. Food was awesome but Bowling took forever and after 3 hours there we still didn't bowl cause it still wasn't our turn so we will try again another time

Fun time, however, I picked this place because it clearly states on the website they have night bowling 1/2 price from 9:30-11:30 only to find out they close at 11 and I was only able to bowl for 1 hour. If you changed your hours then it’s probably a good idea to update your website so you don’t mislead people. I would’ve went elsewhere.

This is a review of the arcade. We have been a few time to play the unlimited game play for a 2 hour time slot. My young kids enjoy the games they have. Some games are highlighted green and some are highlighted red. There are two package levels for the green and the red. It might be close to a 50/50 split with the games. Our most recent trip we noticed an over abundance of Out of Order machines. This is a fun place to spend a little time for a decent price.

For what it is, this is a fun place for kids, teens and yes, even adults.

First off, it's loud. If you don't like loud, loud gives you a headache, loud keeps you from focusing out having a good time, then don't come here. Seriously, just don't. However, if you are okay with loud, then you will probably enjoy yourself.

There's a high-tech bowling alley. Self-scoring, auto pop-up bumpers for the little ones, colorful billiard-themed balls with large visible weights printed on them. If you are there at night, the normal lighting turns off and the moving colored lights patterns, lasers and colored pin areas take over.

You've got a large and colorful arcade area with many interactive games that don't involve just moving a joystick. The machines themselves are huge too. Gone are the machines that only a single player could stand in front of. These are all multiplayer and designed for a crowd to watch. Heck, even the Space Invaders machine has a 6-foot wide screen!

There's a bar area for the adults, a seating area for diners, (you can also have food brought to your bowling lane), a reserve-able area for larger parties. The food for our party was good; nothing that would bring me back just to eat here, but good and enjoyable.

This is definitely not a place to go by yourself, but if you and your friend and family are looking to do something fun, it's a good place to visit.

Great place. But whatever package you buy for the kids to play games, make sure you ask if it will collect tickets 🎟 because some you don't collect tickets! Kids want to play games and then use their tickets at the end to pick out the prize they want! Learned the hard way!

The staff and service was great. The food looked really good but we just had a couple of beverages while our kids played the games. Our kids (12 & 14) always have fun and want to stay all night. If anything could be improved it would be the price of game passes that allow you to win prizes. I feel like you have to spend a lot to win anything worth while. I think we spent a total of $60 for the two of them and they got one tootsie roll in the end. Overall, the place is great!

We went on a Sunday. We saw the 4p to close deal so we thought why not? It was a good time. We played some games and bowled. But, things you must know if you do the Sunday evening deal;
1. You’re not allowed to play all the games
2. You earn 0 tickets (which I get but I would have liked a heads up or maybe I would have not done the deal)
The games need servicing badly. Space invaders works but the aim is off, the frogger was jammed, the ball toss literally jammed up while being used, and the list goes on.
The bowling was fun though and the staff was nice. I definitely recommend washing your hands after going there.

Overpriced and half the arcade machines were broken at the time we went. They make you pay extra for the special arcade games not included in the hour specials. Restaurant is overpriced. The laser tag is outdated and boring. Very cramped and crowded. I recommend going to GAME OVER in Alton, their new arcade offers everything with a ton more space and no off limit arcades for extra cash grabs.
