There was a variety of arcade games ranging from pinball machines to shooting games and racing games. The games seemed reasonably priced and you can get a bag of coins at the bar for $5. The area was pretty small and it could get overwhelming if it was crowded. It seemed as though there was another area that was currently closed, so it might be bigger, but at the current state the arcade area was pretty small.

Mrs. H's review is pretty much spot-on: the Game Room is a combination of pool hall sans the liquor…read moreand smoke, bowling alley, and a few arcade games. I used to come here mainly for pool because my friends who are under 21 couldn't, of course, go to a bar to play pool and we do like our pool now and then! The Game Room can get very busy on weekends but still has a nice vibe. And then there is DDR: Mrs. H, I am one of those DDR kids! We're not all that nerdy though: I rock Dylan George jeans and Sevens just like you do and spend a king's ransom on my hair as if I was Gwen . . . let's sit stereotypes aside (but ok, ok, I DO have a soldering iron and can program in ZPL too!). In any case, the Game Room can't be beat for UF kids as a good location to have some fun. If you're not resident at UF though, know this: parking on campus is very tough, even to an extent after hours. Take note of all signs you see and park some place like the lot near the New Physics Building that is just across from the Reitz if parking at night. And obey the 20 MPH speed limit on campus: they're not joking about this!

We went late on Sunday night to enjoy happy hour and half priced games and had a great experience…read more We were quickly seated and our server had great energy that really helped set the tone for a fun night. We started with a chicken quesadilla which was delicious and packed with huge chicken chunks. For my meal I ordered the eat and play combo wings and they were terrific. They were crispy underneath and the sauce was sweet and very flavorful. We also enjoyed happy hour beer, although I did not realize it was domestic beer only so my Modelo did not qualify, which was a small surprise. We did an hour of free game play and there was a really good variety of games, especially for a group of three. The game room had a large selection and everything felt well maintained. All of the staff we interacted with were pleasant and friendly. Overall we were really impressed with how much they offer, including catering and large event options. We will definitely be back again.

Our server was very accommodating (our party stayed longer than I would have liked, but he rolled…read morewith it) and made sure we were taken care of. The food was nothing special, but it was alright, and I liked the games. I don't remember the server's name but he's the outgoing man having a son in the summer. Tell him he did well. Thanks!

No one ever called me back. When we arrived Saturday I told the "cashier" and she was very dismissive of me. We got 2 lanes and bumper pads as we had 2 young first time bowlers. There was a problem with one lane... it kept stopping after the first roll.... Told girl at desk, again, not very helpful. Finally asked a different girl and s guy tech came over and announced "There is a problem" no kidding.... We had to change lanes. Second lanes were ok but we had no bumper rails as they didn't have them. It was nice to have the score start over when we changed lanes!!!

It would be awesome to see them get things up and working again. we have been multiple times over the last few months, every time the go karts and batting cages are not open..... the rink is huge, the flooring is odd for the rink, but everyone has gotten used to skating on it now. We bring our own rollerblades so not sure the quality of the ones to rent. Their pricing guides are confusing as their website does not line up to the different signs posted (and even those contradict each other) I think it would be better if management did a sweep and got all their signs and website to post the same information. Also if you pay for a wrist band to do all activities, well you spend forever waiting for an employee to come let you on (for instance our last visit it took 35 minutes for an employee to let me kid on the rock climbing wall, and the place was not even busy, felt like a waste of money for any extras other than just skating)

In fact the paint looked fresh, carpet was ok, place was decorated decently. The skating rink was decent and the shoes- well they're rental shoes so not the best by a long shot - they have rollerblades if you want for extra $- still expect rental shoe quality. We were shafted out of our go cart rides (thanks rain) but were offered other activities to do- rock wall climbing- bouncy kid house thing- or jumping on trampolines with bungee cords. The kid house thing was a huge hit with the littles. The other stuff we didn't do - nobody wanted to. The video game area is pretty small but good i thought. The staff was very very nice but if you schedule a party here they seem kind of rush rush when your having you r cake and pizza stuff. They need more party rooms. That would prob help. They let us bring in a fruit tray which was awesome cuz some places don't. I would do it again. *edit * My partner actually complained to me about for 40 min straight about how crappy the food court area was- took like 30 minutes to wait for a couple of pretzels, pizza was sh*tty, if somebody had an order ahead of yours forget it. He said all that junky good should be already ready and not made to order in an airfryer, takes too long. He also complained about how rushy the place was in using the party room. He said the hostess needed to stop hassling us about getting stuff done-might as well said 'hurry tf up and finish your pizza & get out'. Said the whole organization was chaotic & "completely inefficient". I mean I didn't see it that way but I'm not all tightly wound up. At least not on that day.

Splitz has a great concept, but my experience was undermined by poor customer service and a lack of…read moreaccountability. Staff interactions felt dismissive, and when concerns were raised, they were not handled with professionalism or care. Most disappointing was the absence of meaningful engagement or resolution from management. Mistakes happen, but how a business responds matters. In this case, communication, attitude, and follow-through all fell short. I hope leadership reviews this feedback and takes steps to improve staff training and customer engagement, as these changes could significantly improve the guest experience. Below is the formal complaint that was emailed and submitted, however, there has been no response: Good morning, I am submitting a formal complaint regarding a private event held at Splitz Bowling - Gainesville, FL on Saturday, January 10, 2026, from 8:00 AM to 10:00 AM. The reservation was under the name Josie Jackson, and we paid $435.38 for a private section with four lanes for two hours. Lanes 27 and 28 experienced continuous technical issues throughout the reservation period. While I understand that having more than six participants per lane can sometimes contribute to delays, lanes 27 and 28 did not exceed six players during the first hour and were the first to malfunction, confirming the issues were not related to lane capacity or guest usage. During the final hour of play, lanes 29 and 30 also began experiencing issues, further reducing usable play time across all four lanes. Additionally, our dedicated server was present for less than an hour and did not return, and multiple staff members were disengaged despite a busy venue. Management arrived 30-45 minutes later and offered minimal remediation (initially 15 minutes, then 30 minutes across all lanes), which did not resolve the technical issues. No meaningful follow-up occurred despite assurances. On-site security staff were inattentive. Given the cost and repeated service failures, I respectfully request: A corporate review of this incident Appropriate compensation or refund Corrective actions to prevent similar issues for future guests I would appreciate a written response. Please let me know if you need additional documentation. Shantell Hadley, MBA shantella.hadley@gmail.com
