I don't come to Stockton often but finding little areas like this are a nice little change of pace. The Underground Arcade is definitely more on the retro side but a nice little place to host a party for young kids. They had free place access to almost all games for 2 hours and also a chance to play in a little nerf course set up. The kids really enjoyed it and it was a nice change of pace from the brand name locations. This place offers a great value and while it's hard to find this place from the outside, there was ample street parking. They allowed outside food and the staff was over all helpful and professional. Worth checking out for a party for young kids!

Not like I've been to a lot of bowling alleys but here's some of my key takeaways from this place…read moreand how I'm swayed towards giving them a better review than maybe they deserve. 1) they have a summer pass that gets you 2 free games a day, free shoe rental, $5 worth of arcade credits a day and 10-15% off of food and drinks (non alcoholic). I got the premium and that's around $66 or so. 2) they have a ton of lanes and we have never had to wait. 3) the food, at least the pizza, is pretty decent considering it's a bowling alley. They also have a pizza and pitcher combo (non alcoholic or beer) that's pretty reasonably priced. Now here's some of the downsides: 1) there's been service issues in the past in terms of us ordering and then the kitchen not getting the order. Also some common sense issues. Like they were offering free drinks to summer pass holders and they only gave us 1 drink for free even though there were 2 summer pass holders. It's not that hard to just give us the 2nd drink and not put it in the system as a charge (at least I wouldn't think?). We didn't fight it because we didn't want to be difficult. 2) It seems like 1/3 to 1/2 of the games in the arcade are partially or completely broken and/or out of order. 3) A lot of the balls have like cracks or chunks missing and some of the lanes mess up the pins from time to time. They probably deserve a 3/5 but the summer pass is have to say bumps them up to a 4.

I came here with my family a couple weekends ago, and we had such a great time. I made reservations…read morefor the 6 of us through their website beforehand. When we arrived, I checked in with the front desk, and they quickly got our sizes and grabbed all of our shoes. The process was super quick, and we were at our lane in less than 10 minutes. Each pair of lanes has a seating/booth area with tables. The space was perfect for the 6 of us. I loved the ambiance, from the neon colors to the modern design of the place. The restrooms were easily accessible and clean. One staff member checked in on us a few times throughout the night. We ordered a couple drinks, and she mentioned she was the only server working that evening. Although it took a little time for our drinks to arrive, she did a wonderful job. She was very nice and friendly. Overall, my family and I had a really fun time, and I would definitely come back here!

We had so much fun playing at the Northern Lights Arcade, inside Great Wolf Lodge (Manteca, CA). We…read morewere told by staff the arcade is 24/7. However, the posted hours are different. Not sure which one is correct. A clarification would be nice. We were a little disappointed that the PLINKO game only gives one PLINKO chip to play per turn. You have to get it to slide through the middle to earn more chips to play with. Sadly, we did not. We only earned 30 and 50 tickets each time we played. The jackpot is earned by landing in the "B" at the bottom. We mostly earned tickets by playing Pop the Lock, my son has played this before at another arcade (D&B). So, he is pretty good at it. He won the jackpot twice. At Northern Lights Arcade you can keep playing for extra tokens/paw points, but it will not give you the jackpot (only 100 tickets). So, it does not seem worth it. However, you can decide for yourself! :) We also played The Wizard of Oz coin pushing/card collecting game. We built up quite a nice, little pile of cards, plus red and green coins. However, at the end of the night (close to 10:00pm) they are supposed to reset it. It wasn't even 8:00pm and we were still playing other games, they reset the machine. It makes it a lot harder to win. :( They have some cute prizes for thousands of tickets. I forgot to take photo inside the prize area. They had a Playstation light that has the quintessential shapes of the controller (square, circle, triangle and X). It was 9,000 tickets. We did not have that much, although we were close. We opted to save our tickets and go home with a few fruit punch Tootsie Rolls.

Some of the best games are missing like Connect 4 Hoops or an actual basketball versus game with a normal rim rather than a plastic 3 foot wide rim. 2.

We have come to ride the go-carts specifically, and today, we walk in and are asked if we've signed the waiver and my answer is yes.. then asked what attractions we were here to enjoy. After telling the female that we were here to ride the go-carts she proceeded to tell me that mine and my daughters' hair was too long and even if we put it up we would not be able to ride them. My hair has always been long. I can wrap it up and have many times before, and now I'm told no Before I even really enter the building. That's the end of that good chapter. Bye funworks. I will NOT be back.

I needed a last-minute place for our team bonding event because the original location fell through…read more A friend mentioned a venue that sounded great, so I decided to reach out. I spoke with Sarb, and he was very helpful. He told me they still had availability for our event, which was a relief. What impressed me the most was that they offered us time to set up before the event started. When we arrived, the place was clean and ready, making it easy to get everything organized. Since we were working with kids, we didn't use the throwing axe area, but we did enjoy some exciting laser tag. you could bring your own water and cake or cupcakes, but you needed to buy your food from them. They used Mountain Mike's pizza for food orders, which was located off Robinhood. There was a bit of confusion among the workers because some understood the rules differently than others. However, I decided to stay patient and ask questions until I got clear answers. After discussing it, everything worked out well for me. My food arrived exactly on time, just like I had requested. The laser tag room was amazing! It had two stories and was really well put together. Honestly, I can't explain how fun it was--you just have to see it for yourself! The kids had a blast playing there, and believe me, it's definitely a workout! They got to play four different games, so there was always something new to try. When you first arrive, you need to sign some waivers and set up your account. They take a picture of you, which goes up on a big screen at the end of your game, showing your score. Everyone was excited to see who had the most points! The atmosphere was lively, and everyone was laughing and cheering. It was a great way to spend the day, and I can't wait to go back again. If you're looking for fun and excitement, this place is a must-visit!

The vanilla & chocolate ice cream was also watery. My niece and granddaughter both went to make an ice cream cone, only to have their clothing sprayed by the machine. No cups were clean for drink machines and there was no ice in the machine. When i spoke with the manager on shift of all the food buffet issues, she said we are working on it. For the amount of money families spend for their child to have fun or a great bday, this issues should be addressed immediately. I can understand one issue but several all at once is a lack of management and operations. Noone apologized or even acknowledged the complaints. There were several upset customers. Arcade area was poorly ran. The hosts were rude and impatient with the kids. We paid for the laser tag to be part of the bday package. Yet we were unable to get anyone to open it up. We waited for an attendant to come and no one showed up. The reason...they were short staffed and are doing their best to open each ride as it permits. We should've been refunded. District manager really needs to pop in and see how this place is ran.

We visited on a Sunday, and it wasn't too crowded, which was nice because the kids had plenty of room to play. They also have party rooms available, and the rooms are a good size for birthday celebrations and group events. My only suggestion is that the food court service could be more attentive. It often seemed like no one was at the counter when assistance was needed. Overall, it was a fun experience, and I'd recommend it for families with young children.

This place should be called Lost Teeth, not Lost Worlds…read more I would give Lost World a NEGATIVE 5-star review if I could. As a mom, I urge you NOT to take your kids and loved ones here. My 6-year-old and 3-year-old went to Lost World back in July. They walked in with beautiful smiles. My 3-year-old left with both of his front teeth severely damaged. He was climbing on the volcano play structure, where multiple other children had also been climbing for some time. There were NO signs saying children could not climb on it, and no staff stopping or redirecting the kids. Instead, the staff nearby were socializing and talking rather than actively monitoring the play area. The volcano structure shoots out plastic balls, and the force of the balls struck him directly in the mouth. One of his front teeth was knocked out on impact and, to this day, is somewhere in that ball pit. So if you find a tooth while there, it's my sons. His other front tooth was also severely damaged. After 3 months of appointments with pediatric dental specialists trying to save it, he is now scheduled for surgery under general anesthesia to have it removed. We were also told there could be damage to his developing adult teeth, but we won't know the extent until they grow in over the next 3-4 years. As a parent, it is heartbreaking knowing that a day meant to be fun has turned into months of dental appointments, procedures, and now surgery for my 3-year-old. What is especially upsetting is that this accident was preventable. A structure that children can climb on needs appropriate safety measures, clear warnings, and active supervision. On top of that, after I spoke with the owner following the accident, she has never once called or checked in to see how my son is doing or what they could do to help. Their response and overall lack of care have been incredibly disappointing. I sincerely hope no other child or family is has to go through what we have, so I'm posting this as a fair warning to other parents.

This is my favorite arcade in the area. I've checked out a few between Stockton and Turlock, and…read morethis is my favorite. They have a lot of games and it's reasonably priced. They have games where you can play for tickets if you want, and they have games that you can play just for the fun of it. My favorite is the carnival-style water shooter game, where you compete against someone to see who can fill up the tank with a water gun first. The prizes are pretty much what you would expect from an arcade. It's geared towards kids, so they obviously have prizes for kids, but you can still get candy or other little trinkets that are alright. All in all, I love coming here. The only criticism I have is the location, but that's not really the arcade's fault. It's located in a dead/dying mall, so there's no good food. Maybe Charlies Sandwiches but thats it. You can't pause playing and just grab a quick bite to eat. You have to leave the mall and then come back. But if they relocated somewhere else, the rent might be more expensive, so I don't blame the arcade for its location. It's just something you have to keep in mind when visiting.
