I wasn't sure what to expect. I've seen a couple ads and have been to the cafe right next door. It always looked fun, but I wasn't sold on trying it. I finally went and it was such a great time! It was so fun and active. I definitely got a little workout in. I believe all of the rooms have cooperative games and competitive games. My favorite room had to be the one where there are lasers. It felt like a movie scene. My favorite game for competitive was the basketball one. If you have a little group of people, I definitely recommend going. The group size per game is 5 for sure. I believe the minimum for a game is 2. It's great for kids and adult. I will gather some friends and come back!

Very cool idea- kids had a blast. Not too expensive for the "every once in a while" outing. Find a way to have the games projected onto TVs so parents can watch!

It was super fun the games were a blast! I took my 8 year old son but there were so many age groups here enjoying themselves. 10/10 will definitely be back very soon.

Had an amazing experience my first time here, so decided to try it out as a family outing. It was really crowded for a Friday night. It b didn't look like people were actually keeping to their reservation times. Also it looked like where were a lot of younger kids that were going into rooms without any supervision. It is a much better time to go when it isn't crowded, it makes a world of difference for your overall experience. So crowded it is a 3 star activity, but less crowded makes it a 5 star... thus the 4 star rating. The games themselves are still very fun. I'd recommend wearing workout gear and then tossing your long sleeves / jackets in the free locker. The smaller game rooms can get pretty warm. Also make sure to carry some water bottles in your car for afterwards!

Try navigating through this in the 'LASER' room! Hint: army crawl underneath

TARGET: HEART RATE Getting in a cardio workout has never been this exciting. Activate Games is right off Route 83 & Butterfield Rd, across the street from Oak Brook Center near Blackberry Market. This gaming facility houses a series of mental and physical challenges that can be played in cooperative or competitive formats. You can enter 11 unique arenas, each requiring a combination of agility, accuracy, and endurance. Each arena has difficulty levels ranging from 1 (beginner) to 10 (expert+), with each round lasting between 1-3 minutes, or until you run out of lives. There's free lockers to use when you walk in, first time visitors will have to register and get their wristbands setup. The price is $25 Mon-Thurs and $30 on weekends; each booking gives you a 75 minute time slot. A silicone RFID wristband tracks your progress and unlocks each room. It's a convenient system, and you can even monitor your level progression online! I was excited to try their newest room, 'STRIKE', which is a dodgeball gauntlet with hi-def screens. One game variant involves blowing up asteroids, a fun but nerve-wracking mode. 'HOOPS' is a fairly straightforward basket shooting game, while 'PRESS' will test your visual acuity and pattern recognition. 'CLIMB' involves grabbing onto handholds, 'HIDE' sees you pushing buttons in sequence while avoiding detection, and 'LASER' has two unique modes where you can shoot guns at targets, or carefully navigate around laser beams like a superspy. That last room gets tricky in a hurry! Sometimes a button will stop working, or a ball will get lost (this happened to us in 'PORTALS', which relies on a single ball). The game technicians are quick to act, and they'll get rooms back in service without much delay. Staff are friendly and helpful. Water and rest breaks are 100% needed, you'll likely be winded after a couple rounds. This is especially true in 'GRID' where you'll be tip-toeing onto green tiles and avoiding red ones, while also deftly smacking actuators in the 'MEGA GRID' room. A word of advice: don't wear jeans. Dress as if you're going to the gym, i.e. T-shirts or underarmor, leggings or shorts, and a good pair of sneakers (they won't let you in with open-toed shoes). You will probably break a sweat and should expect to reach your target heart rate several times. After your first visit, they'll give you a keyfob that stores your saved game data. Activate has reward tiers--you can earn 'stars' for completing any room at a given level, which can be redeemed for swag like water bottles and even gift cards. I'm one (good) visit away from getting a basketball! * TL;DR * This interactive playroom in Oak Brook seamlessly blends interactive technology with physical exercise and teamwork to create a one-of-a-kind immersive experience. I've been here twice and can't wait to return a third time. I'm excited to see the Naperville location open soon, as it's much closer to our house and should have a different variety of rooms. I wish Activate were around when I was younger, hopefully they'll still be in business once my kids are old enough. So much freakin' fun. 11/10 would recommend.

Activate is such a fun group game activity for any age - We went with a group of friends on a weekend and it was lots of fun. It's interactive and so much more fun & unique than a typical board game night! Perfect place for a kids birthday, adults group game night, family outing, etc.

I recently visited activate to celebrate a friend's 34th birthday party. I am not an active person in general. I was a little nervous at first. I made sure to wear some leggings and tennis shoes. It turned out to be allot of fun with a ton of different levels and variety of games. My favorite had to be the color changing block floor, we could have played that game for much longer. My team was the perfect number of five, which most play rooms accommodated as the max. My team made the board and at the end we got key chains. I would go back.

This place is such a blast!! I've been a few times now for celebrating birthdays. I read reviews before coming and this place definitely exceeded my expectations! Upon arriving, we parked in the parking lot where there's always plenty of space to park. They seem pretty busy on the weekends but the staff is always friendly. Once you check in and get a wristband, there are lockers to store personal belongings. Once started, you are activated for 90 mins of "play time". Heading into the game space, there are maybe 15-20 "mini game rooms". Even when the place is crowded, there is a considerate and timely flow of how the rooms are used. After choosing a room and a specific game, you put yourself in a queue to play inside. The rooms are voice operated and prompts you when to enter and exit through rooms. As you play these games physically with your body, it can be a nice workout or a cute interactive date. There are easy accessible bathrooms and staff always near. There are hand sanitizer stations available and water fountains. Overall, I love this place! I try to go whenever I get some free time to just do something fun...anddddd it's free for you if it's your birthday!

What a COOL place!! We had a blast here - it's perfect for gorup activities and is DEFINITELY engaging. You check-in at the front desk and they give you a wristband that swipes you into the different game rooms they have. There is a VARIETY of game rooms, each lasting for about 3 minutes. If no one is waiting outside your game room, you can swipe your wrist band to keep playing. The band also keeps score of all of your games. The games range from shooting hoops, climbing along a wall, running through lasers, finding color blocks on the floor and so much more. Some games are physical and some are mental. It's fun to try them all, there's really nothing to lose. There's also a lot of color in the outside hallways before you enter the rooms. I had so much fun and plan to be back. I felt super engaged with each game and the time went by so fast. What a great idea and experience.

Bailey M.

This place is sooo much fun! I'm addicted! It's $26 for 75 minutes per person. I think the price is reasonable. There are a bunch of game rooms with short games 90 seconds or so. You work your way through the levels. You can keep going through the levels unless another group is waiting. This makes it fair and it's no big deal because there are plenty of other games to try. Some of the games include climbing through lasers, memory games, trivia, shooting basketball hoops, and a rock wall. Each activity has various types of games you can play. For example, the laser room you can play a game where you are climbing through lasers or shooting lasers. You need a minimum of 2 people and groups can be up to 5 people. If your group is bigger, then you'll need to split into multiple groups. Booking is super easy and super flexible. Definitely give it a try!

We ended up dividing the 90 minutes into (3) 30 minute games so our groups could keep rotating. They have lockers to lock belongings in, rooms can host up to 6 people and have options to order simple beverages while you play. Our first game was Box Party which is their version of a Mario Party. There are a couple of mini game options as you work through the map. This by far was our group's favorite game! We chose the 30 minute game but easily could have played it for the full 90 minutes. Our second game was Floor is Lava. This one was fun but a bit harder than I was expecting it to be. There are parts where you bump into other players so I recommend playing with good friends or family. This is more of a group task game. Our third game was Angry Birds. This overall was the group's least favorite as it wasn't very physical. The game takes on the classic idea of launching birds at towers to get points. This was more individual tasks than team tasks. Overall, this was such a fun experience! They offer games for any aged guest and for any comfort level of players together. I enjoyed having the personalization of our "meeps" to play in each game too.

Lime Light which is a fried key lime pie ice cream with marshmallow meringue. Good flavor. The S'mores Ghost, with a house made graham was torched table side and drizzled in chocolate sauce. There are two options for the game card, you can either choose time or credits. We chose to share 90 minutes of time. We were able to play most of the video games, bumper cars and two VR experiences. What a way to channel our inner child. To wrap up the day we headed to the Ghost Trap which is a Ghost Buster's themed speak easy. Ghosts dance on the walls and some of them even chomp on the paintings. Tequila birthday shots were served in skulls.

I would love to see the electric bill - I can only imagine what it must be for the largest arcade…read morein the world with over 850 playable arcade cabinets. Speaking of, how wonderful is it that this place exists? Far too many modern places are drink-focused enough that games have cup-holders, the games themselves have giant, modern LCD screens with the brightness and color turned way up, and all this for about $1.50-$2.00 a game that lasts a minute, 90 seconds at best, and does not require much skill (with alcohol, I suppose they want something winnable even while a little inebriated). This is to say nothing of the games where the goal is to win tickets to exchange for prizes - don't get me started on the shenanigans at play. Galloping Ghost has arcade games where a simple joystick and a couple buttons is all you need. There are some older shoot the screen games, and other retro games as well. Let's say that none have a modern, flat-screen, and all are old enough to use CRT (Tube) Screens. Given their age, the games are kept in very good shape! I also love that Galloping Ghost is about the love of the games, and not about the love of liquor with games being an excuse to drink. There are bottled sodas available for sale, but not cup-holders, alcohol, or food. Even gum is forbidden. This also has the effect of being a community icon! When I visited, there was a gathering of furries (not something I engage in, but power to you!) I haven't even gotten to the best part: $25 for all day, all-you-can-play access. Open from 11am to midnight (or 2am Friday & Saturday night). The ticket allows you access throughout the day, so you can come and go as you please. Better still, an extra $5 gets you access to all-you-can-play pinball a couple blocks down the street. Also a good selection of fun machines somewhere between retro and modern Stern. Final verdict: While Chicagoland has some arcades with free-play, and some even don't require an entrance fee, these, despite a modest selection revolve around booze. Galloping Ghost is a dying breed that exists to test your skills, maybe set a record if you're that good, and hang out. All this, for a very reasonable entrance fee.

Enchanted Castle - Front counter area for prizes and buying attractions

ONCE UPON A TIME.......IN LOMBARD…read more This beloved indoor entertainment center is still hanging in there after 40+ years. I'll admit, I didn't have "attend a work outing at Enchanted Castle" on my 2025 bingo card, yet here we are. I found myself reminiscing about birthdays from the past, how many tokens I spent here as a preteen, and what on earth I was doing at a kids entertainment center with a group of engineers. As they've been since 1983, Enchanted Castle on Roosevelt Rd in Lombard is a one-stop shop for fun.  They have party rooms, a large arcade with ticket counter and 7-8 different attractions.  It's like a bigger version of Chuck E Cheese with a medieval theme, a Dave & Busters aimed at kiddos. You can pay for things a la carte, or get a $40 "max pack" that gets you a $15 game card and access to any 3 attractions.  Our large group hit up the arcade, mini golf, laser tag, and go karts.  One staffer helped us out during our time here, and kudos to her for being patient when we couldn't make up our minds on what to do next. I'll start with the best: the go karts ($9/pp).  Although the track itself is small and not terribly exciting, these go karts were peppy and handled well.  You get a decent number of laps, too, and it must be popular enough to warrant having its own dedicated entrance off to the right - Castle Karts. Next came laser tag ($9/pp).  The packs seemed heavy, but the guns were very accurate IMO.  It was a 'capture the flag' objective and despite a small arena, there was just enough space to move around.  They also have Route 66 mini bowling ($5/pp), bumper cars ($5/pp), a scaled down 'Scrambler' type ride ($5/pp), and a playground area with slides ($5/kid). The glow in the dark Black Knight's "Adventure" Golf ($7/pp) was the weak link of the bunch.  9 holes of poorly lit, uninspired putt putt with odd scenery choices - they couldn't decide between skeletons or squires - and lazy hole design led to several in our group bailing partway through.  One girl even twisted her ankle walking around an obstacle!  This is an area that could definitely benefit from a facelift or new attraction. Back in the 90's and early 2000's, Enchanted Castle had a 3D motion theater that played several iWerks films like Dino Island, Alpha One Cowboy, and Red Rock Run.  This wild motion simulator was always the highlight of my visit, but I can't find ANY record of it in web archives..... was this a fever dream?? Their arcade has a mix of new and old, lots of ticket redemption games with flashy shoot-em-ups sprinkled in.  They had Beat Saber VR (for a whopping 24 credits) as well as some vintage games like the one where you use an air cannon to shoot out the clown's teeth.  Many years ago, they had a dedicated area for pinball machines....now they have none.  *sigh* I expected very little from the food and was pleasantly surprised.  The italian beef ($12) was pretty good, no complaints about the fries.  The large appetizer platter ($40) had a little bit of everything: 7 mozza stix, 7 wings, 7 tenders, 12 mini tacos, and 8 pretzel sticks with dipping sauces.  They also had beer on tap @ $6.50 per pint, not too bad. * TL;DR * Enchanted Castle is supposed to be for young'ins, but if you have fun here as a grown-up I won't tell anyone. Being in business for 43 years is no small feat, especially when you consider the sweeping effect COVID had on the realm of indoor entertainment.  I'm amazed (and relieved) that Enchanted Castle's drawbridge has stayed open despite so much volatility in the world.  I don't imagine that the handful of folks we saw on a Thursday afternoon is representative of how much foot traffic EC actually gets. Here's to hoping they have many more years ahead of them, making joyful memories for scores of kids in the western Chicago suburbs.  I'd hate to see an indelible part of my childhood be gone for good. "The handsome prince raced his mighty steed around the go kart track, while the beautiful princess enjoyed several games of Skee-Ball.  And they played happily ever after!"

We booked a 5:30 p.m. reservation on a weekend and we didn't realize that this place had a really really long line when it came to check again. We booked a reservation online and we assume that our reservation automatically started at set time but really it truly doesn't matter what time your reservation is because you could just show up whenever you want it doesn't mean you automatically start playing at the time you reserve. You more so just book everything in advance and just save yourself a few minutes. The waiting is really long as if you're waiting for your favorite ride at an amusement park but the line is an hour long. There's four different courses in each one is nine holes. I will say that the courses were really fun and is a unique spin on how to play mini golf which is way more entertaining than LIV golf. Sadly I lost but I had fun. The price point just to play is truly pretty fair for what it was worth. Right after booking our golf reservations we tried booking our dinner reservations as well but that turned into a big issue which made us call them to try to make us redo our reservation to dine in and when we were done playing the mini golf we had an issue trying to get our seat but it looked like my name was spelled wrong and I caught it when I noticed on her tablet which was corrected. Dining was a pretty good experience just because the server came up immediately after we were seated we couldn't even look at the drink menu but thankfully he was very friendly. They have vegan options for my wife which was the main reason why we dined in. Food was pricey, I did enjoy their non-alcoholic drinks but if I were to come back here, I might just come back on a weekday where is probably a bit more quiet and less hectic.

Don't come here if you're planning to visit and relax because apparently your expected to shovel down your food and drinks and GTFO. I also felt very bait and switched I called and was told the Galentines special would have vendors so we can go shopping. I was excited to think we would have food, visiting, plus activities but we only had 3 vendors one of which had already left by the time I went looking for them. They did have lush who had a crafting station for your own bath products plus a goody bag so they were definitely a high light. But I'd really anticipated something different from the advertisement especially when I called and asked questions about the event. There were no jewelry, nails, crafts or anything other than one vender with purses and watches. So this could have definitely had more variety. The DJ was in a completely different room so it wasn't like you could ask for songs and get to sit and enjoy them. The omelettes were decent, chocolate fountain had good strawberries, although I think they use melting chips. The buffett felt very carb forward. Two pastas, pizza, fries with a very small carving station compromised of what looked like two very small dried out looking pieces of meat and chicken strips and chicken in the buffet. So not much variety. I would say there's definitely better buffets with better selections where you can get your money worth and not be given a time limit so you can actually visit the people your with rather than feeling like you need to rush as even the bottomless mimosas are time limited.

Really look forward to the days booked here. We typically have 6 of us play a scramble and everyone…read morehas a good time. We'll grab coffee next door and maybe a couple of drinks from the bar. They tend to have a deal like buckets or bloody mary's. I've tried the food and not blown away but for having the option while you're there... not bad. As far as golfing, I think the simulator is great. The leveling platform is a fun element. It's fairly intuitive as far as tee height, changing your putt lineup, etc. I'm a beginner and have felt comfortable golfing horribly here. The putting green is a nice way to end the day on the way out or if you're not able to be seated immediately- take the chance to practice! Their staff is often busy but I would say reasonably so considering they're serving and helping with the simulators. Super kind and have seem them go the extra mile a few times now. Order early and I'm sure you'll get your fill Unless you're Joe, the guy who left that review sucks.
