My husband and I came back for another date night recently as walk-ins. We had found out recently…read moreabout their "date night" special which allows 2 people throw things together in a single "lane" for an hour. We threw axes, throwing stars, throwing cards, Batterangs(spelling?), and even a spear. Throwing was a ton of fun and I am already planning an outing with some friends to come back. One day I'd like to have a rage room session here because that feels like a great release of stress. Staff is friendly and knowledgeable. They go through all the safety rules before the throwing can start and check on you to see if you need anything every once in a while. Everything was amazing and I'll definitely be back.

The ax throwing was a more difficult than I expected and be a lot more fun than I expected. We played some arcade games after and had a very enjoyable afternoon.

We've been to combat ops a few times and even hosted a birthday party so we have a good idea what…read morethey have to offer. They're one of the few places in Fort Wayne that have laser tag, Nerf war, virtual reality games. It definitely is not cheap, but they have a lot more to offer than Chuck E. Cheese and is geared toward older kids. I'm happy to say that the management made it right last time because kids in our party we're being harassed by older kids on their own team as they were shooting them in the head with the Nerf gun. I find that this is unacceptable and if I would've known, I definitely would've spoken with the parents. My son raised his voice and told the game master who didn't do anything about it. I spoke with the manager later and he told me that he would speak with his staff and also gave us some game points to make up for the trouble. I hope they continue to enforce the rules because part of the reason people come to these places is they have fun not to get into conflict with people and their delinquent behavior.

Wonderful Wedding Reception at the GEM Center!…read more We hosted our daughter's wedding reception at the GEM Center in Ashley, IN, this past October (2025), and it was a truly wonderful experience from start to finish. We wanted to share our appreciation for this fantastic venue and its exceptional team. Exceptional Service & Ease of Planning The staff at the GEM Center was incredibly easy to work with. From our initial inquiry through the end of the event, they were eager to assist in any way possible to make the day special and significantly less stressful for us. Their accommodating nature was a highlight of our planning process. A Unique and Flexible Venue The space itself offers a unique experience unlike typical venues. We chose to rent both the main room and the archery area, which provided excellent flexibility for our guests. The layout, separated mostly by windows, allowed the DJ and dancing to happen on one side while guests could socialize and view the dancing on the other side without the music being overwhelming. They even went above and beyond by hooking up wireless speakers from the dance floor to the other room, ensuring great sound quality for everyone at a comfortable volume. The venue easily accommodated various setups as needed throughout the evening. Key Perk: Bring Your Own Catering One of the biggest advantages the GEM Center offers is the flexibility to bring in your own catering--a huge cost-saver and a great way to personalize your event exactly how you want it. Highly Recommended The people at the GEM Center are genuinely nice, professional, and accommodating. If you are looking for a flexible venue with a unique space and excellent service for a wedding or large event, we highly recommend them!
