3 stars for being an all around fun place. Bowling, laser tag, billiards, arcade, food was good. But. It was our first time there and we had to find someone to seat us at the restaurant. Then the guy was like, you could just order the food while you're bowling-why would I want to eat food while alternating my hands and fingers through bowling balls that other people have been handling? Anyway. It was also too expensive. For my family of 4 on a Sunday, we spent about 140.00. That was food and 4 All day fun passes. The passes only include bowling, laser tag, and pool. Like my 12 and 10 yr old are gonna play pool (NO). So basically just bowling and laser tag. Of course they desperately wanted tokens for the arcade but that wasn't included. So all in all we had a good time but won't be going back because the price was too high.

Very fun place. They have some decent combo packages for bowling, dinner and laser tag. Games are fun - similar to Dave & Busters. You get a card and can recharge it. You can use tickets to get small gifts. Laser tag is also fun.

Nothing special and way overpriced. My wife and I went in and paid $47 for an hour of bowling. It costs $4.25 each just for us to get shoes. The arcade is crazy pricing. And the games have random prices like air hockey being $1.60 so you will end up with a balance on your card and not having a game to use it on.

On top of that the service was below average. I don’t think we got an actual smile from someone the entire time. Highly disappointed and will not be back.

I don't know we were only one of two tables we waited an hour and a half for my food however it was absolutely delicious wonderful and I can only guess that it was something to do with it Cooks in the back?

It's a little pricey for bowling ($36 per hour) but it's a lot of fun for the entire family. We took two 5 year olds and a 16 year old and they all had fun. The meal deal they have where you can eat and play in the arcade area is a good deal. It's very similar to Dave 'n Busters.

Wow, this place was the absolute worst. I wouldn’t never recommend that anyone go there, even for a glass of water. You are only allowed to bowl for one hour after which they kick you off the lane, even though there are 10 plus open lanes. You get charged 18 dollars to do all the “fun” things like pool, laser tag but it is a rip off because they can get packed or for little kids and you still only get one hour of bowling. So stupid. Save your money, go anywhere else like a regular bowling alley for cheaper or D&B for higher quality experience.

Pro: The cheddar bites were amazing.

This was my first time and I absolutely fell in love! Chandler is incredibly attentive and made the experience that much more enjoyable! He made sure we were comfortable and hooked us up with the best lane in the alley! Definitely coming back because of his service alone!

Good replacement for the Latitude 360 that was there. Food was tasty and place was clean. A little more than moderately priced, but okay for once in a while.

I have been to this location 2 times and it is by far one of my favorite places to go during events with friends, co workers, and family. The place is set up to where you have arcade games scattered throughout the building, most are on the left side. You are given a card to use for purchase of "coins" and you swipe the amount on the game to win "tickets" or just have fun. In the far left corner is where you have prizes, you can save up your points for another time, the prizes are actually really good. Things that are small such as candy and toys to drones and collectibles.
The place also has games such as air hockey if you enjoy that. You can buy yourself a wrist band that can include extras such as: Bowling, Laser Tag, and Pool. I've never played pool here, but the bowling is one of the best I've ever played. It's fun and family friendly. The systems they use make me laugh and it's very clean. There is a perk that you can eat and drink while you bowl as well. It is normal bowling so you have to wear bowling shoes given to you, and also have your basic bowling balls. Very fun.
Laser tag is by far a surprise at how integrate it was. Their systems are well designed and the game itself is a real workout, but very fun. I can see kids and adults enjoying themselves. I am 25 years old and I loved it. You get split up into teams unless you don't have enough players and you shoot each other. The controls are smooth and there's a lot of opportunity to hit someone from the front, back and shoulders. They always go through a review before you go in, but it's interesting and fun so I don't mind. You also get a name assigned to you and at the end you see who raked up the most points on each team.
Lastly there is a restaurant which serves really good food. You can also order food as well to eat elsewhere.
As parties go I've had two workplaces that hosted parties here and both were very fun. They had a buffet like style where we can come and go to eat and play as we wanted.

I would recommend anyone to come by and try this place out. Very enjoyable.

Bowling, arcade games and bar drink were great! Food was mediocre. Wings were bland and small. 4 stars weren't for the food but the fun

This place is always really clean and the food is your typical American food, chicken fingers, pizza, milkshakes etc.
