The birthday party proceeded perfectly well. All Big E staff did their jobs with care and perfection! They were all attentive to the needs of the host and seemed to really want to make this a memorable event for the birthday boy and his friends. There's eight movie screens, a full sized bowling alley, climbing and jumping activities to help keep the kids energy levels manageable. In better weather outside there's also a rather large and impressive miniature golf area. I can't believe that I've missed out on this fun place to take children to.

Wtf was the point in getting there when you opened to make sure we could spend as much time as we wanted, with our 4 year old, just to spend the money to be told no. Definitely will never go back and never recommend! Worst bowling experience ever!! I want my money back. ​

This place was state of the art when it was first built. And unfortunately, it just hasn't been…read morekept up at all. The lanes are highly dysfunctional, and the furniture is so bulky that you don't have hardly any room if the lanes next to you are also occupied. Also, the furniture have holes in them or are kept together with duct tape. It would be nice, too, if the lights and video screens were on to give some extra entertainment and life to the place. But the food and beer selection is decent, and it's still a fun place to hang out and play a few games of bowling.

We were staying about a half mile away and walked down to the arcade. This was the correct choice. We were greeted at the door by a young lady and she explained the cover charge for free play was. We purchased a few drinks and began pmaying some video arcade games and pinball. All of the games were working along with the pinball. It was a great time and easy safe experience with many locals playing other games as well.

And it was the highlight of our whole weekend. We were able to pay the new switch which was fantastic (and also showed us we do not want to buy one yet haha!). Tons of pinball, some classic games in the back, and honestly, hours worth of fun. You can rent any console you could want. The $10 cover was all games for free so it was perfect. They had a bunch of really fantastic beers, I tried a couple and am still thinking about a caramel apple one I tried here. So great. The conversation with the bartender was awesome, we learned a lot about the area, history, and what has happened in the last year. Such a great experience. Highly, highly recommend to anyone. Instead of bar hopping, come here and you'll have a blast.

So we went here after Motorpro had a 5 hour wait. We had a great time and I believe an overall…read morebetter experience than we would have. I warn you, there is lots and lots of stairs everywhere since this is older warehouse. I expected to come into main area but it drops you onto racing floor and then there are more stairs to climb. We quickly registered and got signed up for gokart tickets. Instead of being a place that you have to look for specials, they bring them right to you. We signed up for 2 race special but changed our mind after first race. Although fun, karts were a lot tougher to control and son had a pretty scary fender bender during first race. The manager on duty worked with us to give the value of second race back through a mix of mini golf, axe throwing and arcade coins. Didn't even complain or ask a lot of additional questions. She was just the tip of the iceburg with the customer service while there. All of the young crew was friendly and helpful especially Brody who was an absolute sweetheart during our racing experience. He helped with every question even preparing an unprepared me for the race. Helping to buckle up and smiling the entire time. Anyway, axe throwing was blah. Can get in 30 minute or 1 hour block but who really throws axes that long??? Seriously, who does? Asked if we could all just throw one during time to satisfy curiosity but the blocks are for one person only. Mini golf was quick and fun course with black light experience. Had fun there. Arcade had a good amount of choices. To be honest, the place has enough somethings for everyone to do and we had an overall good time. Would definitely recommend for an outing with family or events. The amount of space available is crazy.

My Family and I were passing through on our way back home following Thanksgiving and needed a place to burn a few hours while we waited for our hotel room. Bottom line up front, we had a good time and are bookmarking this for our next road trip. From the axe throwing to the laser tag to the bumper cars to the mini golf to the arcade - it was a good time. The wait was almost 2 hours for the cart course so we bypassed that option. The distractors were the unengaged employees that were simply going through the motions and seemed more interested in socializing among themselves. Then there were the 2-3 areas on the Mini-Golf coarse where the carpeting was coming up. But, distractions aside...it was a good time... But, it's those distractors/those details that took it from a good experience to an average one. From a 4 to a 3.
