The arcade games are pretty expensive and they blew through the $15 in less than 15 mins. The mini golf course was short and compacted on the main floor so the courses were not as fancy or intricate as some larger outdoor mini golf courses. The boys finished all 18 holes in less than 30 mins all by themselves. The laser tag was fun too. The vests were pretty big and heavy and it looked so big our littlest guy but he held his own. It seemed crowded when the summer camp group of kids were there, but when they all left, it wasn't crowded at all. Coming from LA, where anything fun is crowded, it was nice to not have to wait in long lines. We wanted to try the laser maze, but it wasn't working. The workers were all teenagers, and the manager guy looked maybe early 20's but they were all helpful. It was fun to spend a couple hours in the hot afternoon being indoors.

The website says it can take up to 45 minutes! Check in was very smooth & the attendant was polite and helpful. After a time, I used the restroom (the kids weren't done playing yet) and while it was clean, it's very old and tired. Some minor broken stuff (like the lock on the stall) and a big jug of liquid soap on the counter, because the dispensers don't work. But as to the experience, I'll let the 16- and 17-year-olds tell it: M: Violent cardio, 5/5. O: Not recommended for massive parties. J: Very fun experience. A1: It was fun but they don't have regular Coke, only Coke Zero. A2: Fun but most definitely geared more toward kids (this made me chuckle but I guess at 17, DGS is entitled to not think of himself as a kid anymore). I did notice that, as is usual, prices at the concession were kind of ridiculous - $4 for a smallish popcorn, etc. But as I said, the attendant was nice. I asked if they sell coffee & they said no, but they would make a batch for me and it was on the house. I declined, as there is a Dunkin' nearby. But it was a nice gesture. We won't be back - it's a 40 minute drive from home and we are moving out of state soon. But the guys had $101 worth of fun, so to me it was well worth it. ($18.75 each for 5 X 2 sessions, plus tax)

2011. You meet up with an old college friend for a meal and then decide to take her to laser tag…read more You both realize after the fact that this was absolutely a date. 15 years later, you're married with three kids and they're old enough to go to Shadowland. Let's go! I was sad when the Columbia location closed down, but Gaithersburg is still rocking and I think this arena is far more interesting than the Columbia one. The arena is the right level of dark with fog machines running too. There are several platforms with various access ramps. My favorite details is that a few platforms have a grate where players can shoot down at others below (watch out, they can shoot up at you too!). There are always rapid fire and mega power Gems for upgrades and a third that rotates by game (invisibility, invulnerability, dark thief), so definitely sign up for 3 games if you can to experience the full rotation. The prices are reasonable, especially in today's economy. There is a water cooler to refresh yourself between games, because you will work up a sweat between the crouching and quick moving around while wearing a phaser pack. It's our favorite workout, to be honest. There is an arcade with a variety of games, including prize games, driving games, and shooting games. The main area also has concessions to snack on. Overall, if you want some workout and fun, check out Shadowland.

Road and parking lot could be in better condition. Check your hours when planning a trip here, as hours during the week are more limited. Entrance is through the doors with the Reclaim Video sign. $15 for unlimited play. Inside, the initial rooms are very retro with shelves full of VHS tapes and LaserDiscs. There's an area with a couch and TV setup to watch these that also included an old computer loaded with classic computer games. They also have a bar and grill area, with appetizers, burgers, pizza, and other items. Alcoholic beverages are also available and there is seating. Machine lineup is almost totally stand-up arcade cabinets and pinball machines. A few of the pinball machines needed some work like Evil Dead as it had problems with errors, and it felt like it was leaning. Pulp Fiction, Pokemon, and World Cup Soccer all played well and were enjoyable. Most of the arcade cabinets seemed to be in good shape with a few needing screen work, but sadly Spy Hunter was totally out of action. The mix of cabinets without question leaned towards older games. Overall, Reclaim Arcade is absolutely worth a visit.

I took my kids to Spinners after driving up from Baltimore, and we ended up spending the whole day…read moreplaying together. As we walked around, I saw several arcade games that instantly brought back memories from the early 1980s -- the same kinds of games I grew up playing. The highlight for me was the new Star Trek pinball machine. Even though it's not one of the older classics, it quickly became my favorite. Watching the Enterprise light up and move up and down was just awesome, and sharing that moment with my kids made it even better. I also want to mention how impressed I was with the bathroom. It was very clean and surprisingly private -- the stalls have walls that go all the way from the ceiling down to the floor with no gaps, which you rarely see in public restrooms. It made the whole visit feel even more comfortable. Spinners is a great mix of nostalgia, modern arcade fun, and thoughtful details. We had a fantastic family day.

Would recommend to anyone looking for some high quality fun!

I had some friends visiting from Jamaica with their two children, ages 10 and 7. We stopped by on a Monday morning between 10 a.m. and noon, so it wasn't very busy. The facility was clean, the games were working, and most of the equipment felt modern and well-maintained. That's important because nobody wants to spend money at an arcade filled with outdated or broken games. After reading some of the reviews, I decided not to take a chance on the food, and while the location is beginning to show its age in a few areas, it still delivers a fun experience. What really stood out to me, though, was the customer service. Great customer service can turn an average experience into a memorable one, and that's exactly what happened here. During our visit, one of the games appeared to glitch during a big win for the family from Jamaica, causing them to miss out on what they believed were a significant number of tickets. I explained the situation to the employee working at prize redemption. He and I both understood that it was possible the win had been misread, but the family was adamant about what they saw. Instead of dismissing their concerns or rigidly sticking to policy, he handled the situation with kindness and professionalism. With a smile and some friendly banter, he jokingly gave them a hard time before saying, "I got you, let me see your card." He adjusted the ticket balance, and honestly, it made their day. What may have seemed like a small gesture could have easily been the difference between a disappointing experience and a great memory for those kids. They left smiling and talking about how it was the most fun they'd had during their visit. I personally refuse to spend money at places where I feel unwelcome, so moments like this matter. Exceptional customer service keeps people coming back, and this experience earned my future business. If the rest of the staff conducts themselves with the same level of care and professionalism as this gentleman, this place has a lot to be proud of.

That being said, there's putt putt golf, and arcade, snack shack, gift shop, and a VR (virtual reality) room. There's a bundle deal that you can buy that gives you a round of putt putt golf (18 holes), the arcade, and VR room. The golfing is fun, it's horror themed and there's music playing which makes for a good ambience. The arcade, which is pretty much scattered throughout the entire establishment, is really fun. There's all kinds of games for all kinds of age groups and some of the games give you tickets which can be used to get gifts from the gift shop. The snack shack has the kinds of food you would expect them to have like pizza, chicken tenders, french fries, and a bunch of candies and drinks. The virtual reality room is a lot of fun, i've tried the zombie one and the paranormal house game. Both of them were a lot of fun, but they have a lot of other options to choose from that aren't horror related. They also have a sensory night for kids or adults who struggle with bright lights and louder noises. I totally recommend 10/10. PS: I had the day's high score for their basketball game. Best day of my life.

The staff was friendly and made sure everyone was having a good time without being intrusive. The environment is well kept and the layout flows nicely so you're not constantly waiting around. Reasonably priced for what you get, and a solid option if you're looking for something different to do with the kids in the area.
