Kids with crane plushies

This is for the Thornton location. Their second site is much bigger with more options. Also the staff were much more welcoming and helpful than at their original location. We learned at their competitor to not hop around as much and had much better results. They were happy to fluff up their machines too.

I'm so glad they opened a location up north! They have a great variety of stuffies and it looks like they are in constant rotation because everyone is always walking out with a full bag! The staff there is very attentive and always makes sure your kiddos are happy and not struggling! It's very addicting for adults too Definitely a place I'll have the kids when I'm in town

We had a blast here! The staff were very kind and helpful to ensure the kids left with a bag full of winnings from the claw machines.

My friend lives 2 blocks away from this arcade. She said her son goes to play games here. They…read moreactually have a bar that sells alcohol beverages. The arcade is located in a shopping area with huge parking lot. There's a bouncer at the entrance that checks for ID, I believe after 10pm everyone will have to be 21. Two rooms of arcade games, one of the rooms have a computer for the gamers. Lighting in 1 room was dim with blue lights and the other one brighter. The bartenders makes good cocktails and dressed in cosplay.

It's kinda cool that we have a Japanese arcade available in CO. They have an ATM machine but also…read moremachines to exchange for quarters. I like that it's quarters because you could bring your own stash or if you don't use all of it, you can save the quarters for next time or use it in the real world. There's a variety of games from fighting to Mario kart to a ton of music beat games. We liked the drum and this one near the bathrooms. Lots of fun games (I just don't know the names). They're very loud and colorful. If you're new, they have tutorials which is nice (also makes gameplay a little longer). Most games are like $1 for 4-5 rounds - except for Mario kart which was kind of a scam. Overall, it's a lot of fun for dates or hangouts or to play something different than pinball machines. I did see a lot of toddlers and it's not a place for toddlers. Most toddlers would ask their parents to play a game but they would get bored or confused and leave after the parent inserted the coins to play said game. Take them to Chuck E. Cheese instead or like Malibu jacks nearby.

We have signed up for Kids Bowl Free for the past two summers, and it's always a great experience…read more The value is unbeatable, and the kids always have such a great time. What I love the most about Main Event though, is the staff. They are always super nice to the kids and go above and beyond to make their experience a good one. It's very rare to find that these days, and I love coming here because of it. Ava especially is wonderful! When it comes to the food, I would say stick to the hot items. The nachos and chicken strips are always very good and a hit with our group. I have ordered a salad before and found it small portioned and missing some of the items listed in the description. That could have been a supply chain issue, so I wasn't worried too much, but I wouldn't order it again. We have some kids in our group with food allergies, and the staff fully respects their needs and accommodates them. The drinks are great, and they have lots of varieties for everyone to choose from. Because it's a bowling alley and they're in full swing of their summer kids program, I would suggest bringing headphones if you're an adult observer and are sensitive to child centered noise and commotion. It's not too much for me, but I'm a parent with a large family. However, I could see it being an issue for someone with sensory concerns. Just a tip! Overall, I'm never disappointed coming here and highly recommend it no matter the season or occasion.

We weren't looking for a plan. We were just driving past on 144th when the lights caught our eye…read moreand someone said "wait, should we just go in?" So we did. Late night, no reservation, no agenda -- straight to the arcade. Over 100 games, retro and modern mixed together , and the kind of layout that lets you drift from machine to machine without a strategy. The energy was good -- busy enough to feel alive, relaxed enough that we never felt rushed. That said, a few machines weren't working and still managed to swallow our points, which is frustrating when you're already paying to play. And if you're hoping for classics like DDR or Pac-Man, temper expectations -- the selection skews more toward ticket-redemption games than arcade purists might want. Some machines just didn't land for us. But here's the thing: we still had a good time. The vibe carried the night, the spontaneity made it memorable, and there's enough variety that you'll find your groove eventually. The two-story laser tag arena and bowling lanes looked worth coming back for on a proper visit. If you've driven past and wondered -- it's worth pulling over. Just flag down a staff member if a machine takes your points.

I had such a great time at my first virtual gaming arcade! I was invited for a 30th birthday party…read moreand didn't know what to expect, but I ended up having so much fun! We went on a weekday afternoon, and it was pretty quiet, which was nice because once you enter the main gaming area, it's a shared space with other parties. When you check in, you're able to pay individually or split the payment, and the staff was friendly and informative about how everything worked. They also have a secured space to put your belongings where you can create your own personal code. This is nice because you definitely don't need to have anything with you once you enter the gaming area! Another tip, make sure you wear comfortable clothes. I would even go as far as recommending athletic wear! We were all sweating like crazy, lol. There are a bunch of different games once you enter the main area. You can play as a team or battle against each other, which I thought was a really fun option! There are so many different types of games, and I would say they're all pretty accessible for different ages. I think this would be a good spot for kids around 10 and older, but anything younger might find some of the games a little too advanced. Overall, I think this is a great spot for birthdays, dates, or a fun activity with friends. Definitely check it out!

OMG! It was so much fun!!! I booked a reservation for 5 for 90 mins. The place is clean and staff…read morewere nice. So many games and all very challenging in their own ways!! Definitely a good interactive activity and workout! Lol we were all screaming, yelling, running, crawling, and jumping! Lol All I got to say is you must try it once! Definitely worth it! Photos are unlimited and already included in the price. I loved how everything worked from the wristbands to the game rooms and to the photos! Such a great place to work as a team! We had so much FUN! Definitely will be coming back!
