All of the parents were outside chatting away and on their cellphones. I didn't play any games myself, I guess I'm too old school for such a new facility, this is not an arcade we grew up with, so I left.

Just found out about this place recently from Facebook, checked it out and gotta say I love it!…read more The staff are top notch. The music is great and the game selection is great. The real 5 star for me though is their selection of board games and card games. I play Magic: the Gathering, Dungeons and Dragons and I love the atmosphere here! The PROS far out weigh the CONS but the cons related to Magic I feel will not allow the community to grow well. PROS Fair Prices Great music Great selection of games AWESOME STAFF Great community feel CONS Not going off TCG, TCG is the norm and players appreciate the transparency in pricing. From my understanding they use an in store system... pricing is close, but transparency is nice for planning efforts. No special promotion for packs, this is the only store I've been to not running 3x for $10 on Standard legal sets. With multiple stores nearby, it doesn't make much sense to buy packs apart from tournaments and events... Again not worth a rating change but this has prevented me from buying individual packs.

I love that they change exhibits every so often. I really enjoyed learning about Chandler. But was most meaningful to me during my visit was the 4th Grade Project Exhibit. "Judy Gelles mission to foster empathy and curiosity". She had been working on this project since 2008 and asked 4th graders all around the world 3 questions. Who do you live with, who do you live with and what do you worry about? Heartfelt. You never stop to think how much worries young people. Some worried about death, being shot, getting their only shoes dirty, etc. shows how much factors at home and impact them. It was deep to see and read!! Worth a visit I will return to see what the next exhibit might be!

What wasn't so great was we arrived an hour before closing with a party of two. The cashier with an annoyance let us know they were closing in an hour. She didn't hand us a score keeping card and seemed annoyed we decided to still golf. She said it would take an hour to complete the course which it didn't for a party of two so it seemed like she wanted us to leave. On the very last hole, thirty minutes before closing she turned off a lot of the sounds and special effects then hurriedly took my husbands golf club and took away our pencil so we couldn't calculate our points. So go for the golf, not the service.

Even though the outside area wasn't large, we spent an hour here taking the time to just enjoy the bridges, plants, water and of course, lavender. You must go to the gift shop and SMELL EVERYTHING! Even though they're a little pricey, the items there are so unique, and you get a cute little gift bag with it. The bathroom is in the gift shop if you need it. They have a variety of paid events too like making soap, tours, and tea parties if you wanted to do more than just walk around. As far as I can tell, they change it up frequently too so you'll never get bored!

The 11 acres are wonderfully landscaped with fountains, Roman style pool, a lake, and a rock stream with a brick path around the front yard. Note that you cannot walk around the back except on the tour so do not go early as there is literally nothing to do but sit and enjoy their beautiful front yard for which there is no cost. The gift shop where you pick up the tickets in a separate building sells the soaps and fragrances made on site and bottled water. It would be wonderful if coffee and tea were served to enjoy before or after the tour.

It encouraged friendly competition between my coworkers and I. We all left raving how much fun we had. Highly recommend checking this place out with a group of friends. I believe they also rotate the games, so you're able to visit more than once without repetition

Oh what a way to spend Valentine's Day! Lots of laughs were had both times but Jimmy O Yang just tickles my funny bone a little more, haha! The Showroom is a great theater space inside Wild Horse Pass. There's a nice bar right outside so if you're planning to drink during the show, it's a more reasonably priced way to grab a drink. They have a bar inside The Showroom as well but get ready for the price mark-up. Bathrooms are on both levels and they both have speakers playing whatever feature is on so you don't have to worry about missing the show. No bad seats in the place so rest assured that you'll be able to find a good seat. Two thumbs up!

This year, we went on Christmas night. Still had fun, but there was more wait times. The synchronized lights house is fabulous. This year, there were live drummer boys performing in the streets that were wonderful. Roasted some marshmallows at the fire pits. I would recommend offering a bag with just more mallows for those not wanting (or who can't have) chocolate. Daughter loved the reindeer poop balls too. Snowfall show, cute train trip thru lights, yummy drink in a boot, good cocoa. Interesting history exhibit on the brothers, who are Dave Pratt's kids for my other AZ oldies. Loved the gingerbread graveyard this year. So cool! Dusty the Horse is a favorite too. The shop upfront (whose name I must remember next year, Ivy maybe) is a not to miss. They have lots of fun & interesting things at all price levels, great for gifts or you. There is also a Gun Fight Santa show, parade including Santa, cookie decorating, search events if wanted, food trucks, other stage show events, some fun photo opp stops, the jail is open, and more. We easily spent 3 hours there as just us adults.

My wife and I were there for the Ostrich Festival which had recently moved from Tumbleweed Park to Rawhide at Wild Horse Pass. A very different footprint from the park, but the behind-the-scenes folks responsible for the festival did a fantastic job in the new location. Known for its concerts, the festival did not disappoint. Kansas, Vanilla Ice, Baby Bash, and The Commodores, among others. Smaller national bands and some local artists graced a smaller stage as well. Top notch entertainment was everywhere this year. Megan the Bubbleologist amazed with her bubbles, Mango and Dango added excitement with their music and dancing, the Cup Guy dazzled with his juggling skills, Off-Axis Stunt Shows were fantastic in three separate shows - BMX, trampoline, and diving. There was a magic show with Sean and Chanelle and their Model T car, live ostriches, a daily evening parade, STEM games, birds, and so much more to see. Already looking forward to next year's Ostrich Festival, held at Rawhide.

Yeehaw! I've been to Rawhide at Wild Horse Pass three times: the first was on a Friday for a Fever…read moreevent on Halloween (Glowing Pumpkins) and the second and third times were on a Saturday and Sunday for Ostrich Festival. Rawhide hosts various events, including bull riding and concerts. For the Fever event, parking was free. For Ostrich Festival, pre-paid parking was $13 or $15 at the gate. You really have no other choice but to park in their lot given that it's basically out there on it's own in Chandler. It's about a 30-minute walk from Gila Casino. Rawhide is a "Western Town." While there isn't any historical context, Rawhide is made to look like an old Western town, dusty roads and saloon-style buildings included. The aesthetic is pretty cool. And it's spacious too. The logistics with the parking situation and getting your shoes dusty, not so much. Depending on the event, there might be vendors selling food, drinks, and more. While the vibe is cool, as the self-appointed king of events in Phoenix, I put this venue close to the end of the pecking order overall.

There's two sides of vendors with food and cute things to buy, I do wish that they had signs saying their form of payment because everyone had different forms and you don't find out until you are buying something and the lines are long sometimes and the sun was super bright today. Make sure you put on sunscreen and wear sunglasses. FOOD: there was pita jungle, dumplings, hot dogs, dominos pizza (cash only), pop corn, cotton candy, ice cream and cakes. DRINKS: coffee Goat, a few stands of lemonade and sodas and on the center of the park there was a couple of breweries you have to pay to enter that part. Big stage with entertainment, kids dancing, bands sponsored by BIG O TIRES AHWATUKEE! They also had a Santa stand starting at noon where you can take pictures with him and tell h what you want for Christmas. The line was long all day.

Not to mention that there were nowhere near the amount of places to eat as advertised. I'm assuming the space rental price kept many people away as the marketplace had only two thirds of the vendors as in past years. All in all, a very expensive day for a family outing that didn't live up to the events, concessions and fun as in past years.

I had never been…read more In a nutshell, main event is a one stop shop for a fun family outing, an exhilarating date night, a birthday party (for children or adults), or just a spur of the moment place to stop and grab some food. Main Event has it all! There's a sit down restaurant, a pizza counter, a bar, a full arcade equipped with all of the latest and greatest games. There is laser tag, bowling, an obstacle course that is situated above the arcade, billiards, shuffleboard... &I would not be surprised if there are some other activities I forgot to mention. Needless to say, there is something for everyone! The staff is friendly, the service is great. The pricing is fair. &Considering all of the action taking place inside that building, I was pretty impressed by how low the noise level actually was??? So you can sit down and have dinner with your family & friends & still enjoy yourself without being bombarded by pure chaos. That was a plus for me! The food was great! The prices for food were in line with the overall quality. I got the burger tacos (sorry I forget what the actual name was) & fries because that sounded very "off the wall". It was delicious! I made the right choice. Their jalapeño ranch is crazy good, I highly recommend getting a side of that. We also split some fried pickles, and they were incredible! I was very impressed by the meal. Typically, at places like this, the food is very low quality and boring. However, Main Event seems to have it all figured out!

Awful Customer Service: * They ultimately failed to resolve the issue, flat-out ignoring me for months and only replying to falsely claim they'd look into the issue further. * Aside from not refunding me, they were unable to find my actual tab, which my bank said I needed to file a dispute. * If I called, they'd put me on hold for extended periods of time, once for over an hour. * The team was rude, disorganized, and showed no empathy towards me. Bad Value and Overall Experience: * Everything was overpriced (the arcade, billiards, food, drinks, etc.). * Many of the arcade games were broken or poorly maintained (for example, the basketball game had a flat ball). * The arcade and bar were dirty. Service at the bar was slow. * I'd recommend going to Tilt Studio or Round 1 rather than Main Event.
