They have a whole pinball room. I love that. You can find other arcades with the usual games, the shooting games, the games to let you win tickets, air, hockey, etc. But this place has so much more. They have bowling where the ball is the size of a softball so it's inclusive of all ages. They've expanded to include escape rooms ax throwing and jelly ball which I'm assuming is some kind of paintball experience. But I really appreciate as a parent is they have time cards or you can pay for an hour of game time and the kids can go around and play certain games as much as they want within the timeframe. It's a really nice way for me as a parent to say you have an hour go have fun.

This arcade feels pretty pricey and it's on the smaller side. My son had fun on the VR Godzilla game but it was somewhere around 10 bucks I believe. There was barely staff there and the tickets on the other game didn't even come out. I still say it's a bit hopeful.

If you're at oviedo mall and you have time I would say stop in this place has some of the best food in the mall. Plus if you have you little one with you they have a great selection of game for the little ones to play . And if you are a little older they have an conditioned pin ball room too if that your jam.

I have really only come here for the escape rooms. They have some great deals though which I'm definitely going to come back and try the all-day arcade. We have one escape room left to go and overall I've been impressed. Admittedly I didn't have high hopes when I first walked in. However, the rooms have some very interactive parts. My husband and I have done a room and we've done two rooms with our kids ages 11 and 16. It was definitely a good family bonding time. They never really seem to be packed on the weekdays so it's definitely a fun place to bring the kids if you're looking to get away from the crowds. The employees have been nice and helped me make my reservations online. They now have a new gellyball area which is only open for limited days currently. I'm excited to come back and try that as well.

I came here for one thing: Life Size Hungry Hippos!!! Make sure each player has their own card to swipe. Otherwise, the first swipers have the advantage. It will only allow two swipes before the card pauses anyway. It's a short game at like $5/person. If I have some money to burn, I'd play again. I pulled up near closing time on a Sunday. Just came from a girls dinner date and this was immediately on the agenda right after. Great arm workout.

This place is like a Dave & Buster's! It's definitely what the industry would call a family fun center. They offer all your newest redemption games, some of those the giants ice arcade games, bumper cars, some sort of a gyroscope bumper cars, mini bowling, axe throwing, pinball, beer and full bar end extensive menu of food. L'arcade here as a few classic games but mostly all the newest games that you'll see at a place like Dave and Buster's. Lots of redemption games but who doesn't like getting tickets. I have not attempted axe throwing or bumper cars or mini bowling. With a full bar, I think one day okay nice and twisted and throw some sharp objects hopefully while drinking whiskey. The owners of this location have something it's common with myself. That is pinball! What separates him from most Family Fun centers is all of their pinball machines. Leave it offer a pinball pass we can play unlimited for 30 days. The pinball pass is actually a wonderful deal even if you only come once the $30 for unlimited play for 30 days pretty much made me stay here for 12 hours.

District Eat and Play is a welcomed addition to the Oviedo Mall! Just like the name suggests, it has food and fun things to do. This place has arcade games, boutique bowling, escape rooms, and nightly entertainment. On Tuesdays, they have half priced arcade games and BOGO bowling/escape rooms all day! I come here a lot on Tuesdays with my son so he can play the games at half price. Cruisin' USA, skeeball, and Mario Kart are favorites. District Eat and Play has a full bar to make hanging out with a bunch of kids everywhere more bearable. They have a bit of everything on their food menu. Burgers, wings, salads, sandwiches. I enjoyed the tacos and chicken tenders on previous visits. Fries are soggy but everything else I have liked. The kids meal with game card is an excellent deal - it is $10.99 for the kids meal and it includes a $10 game card. Entrance is located on the north east end of the mall near Sears. You can also enter from the inside of the mall during mall operating hours. My one wish is that the space was a bit larger. The arcade games are jam packed which makes it hard to move around sometimes. I want to try bowling and escape rooms soon. This is a great way to have some family friendly fun!

This place still gets a 5/5! I would love to extend my regards to Joe, Britney and Anthony. Great bar tenders who know how to converse. Every time we walk into the establishment, we're always immediately recognized by these too. Also, we love to see our other favorites, Nick and Julie. Glad to continue to give this place such good ratings. Always a great time with great people here at District! We also recently tried this pizza. My God, so delicious and freshly oven baked! Their pizza is not frozen and comes with the best toppings.

A fun addition to the Oviedo Mall scene with arcade games, mini bowling lanes and escape rooms. It's a large location with lots of different things throughout, so be sure to do a full tour to see what's available. We went here with family so that my niece and nephew could play around a bit. They are early teens, so this was perfect for them. We sat at the couches off to the side since I had the little with me and wanted to give her room to wiggle around but not touch all the games. The waitress stopped over and took our drink orders, she did check in on us as well. It was pretty slow when we were there, so most games were easily accessible. I didn't see anyone in the escape rooms, so not sure if those are reservation only? Maybe call ahead on those to be sure if you want to do that option. Overall: B A A-OK location with a lot of games and variety. They have a full bar as well for the grown folks.

Update. Ive been here multiple times. It's a convenient stop for games for the kids for sure. There is a fairly decent variety of games to occupy some fun time. In terms of COVID precautions, I wasn't;t really impressed. There did not appear to be any capacity limitations (as the location was pretty full on the day that I went) and guests were pretty much on their own to protect themselves by distancing/masks/etc.....of course in the current social climate, that can be difficult. This is where guests should be able to rely on businesses to apply policies that help protect them. In any case, District Eat and Play can be a fun place to go - I'll likely refrain until we move into a bit safer timeline in e-cards to the pandemic, but I look forward to being able to do an escape room again....or perhaps the axe throwing that they've added.

I've never been interested in doing an escape room. My family has always wanted to do one. I gave…read morein, so we could do something together as a family and American Escape Rooms didn't disappoint. Right now, you have to book your room online. Their website was easy to navigate, and make sure to text the phone number on the site to get a same day discount code! We booked the same day for the Zombie room. Their prices, by the way, were a lot less than other rooms in Orlando by around $10/per person. We arrived a few minutes ahead of time, signed the waivers and locked our phones away. Brooke, our game master, went over the rules and then we were locked inside. Needless to say, we had a lot of fun. 60 minutes goes by extremely quickly, and alas, the zombies won and we lost. Brooke was extremely helpful with her clues she gave us over the walkie talkie and was invested in us succeeding (she doesn't need more zombies running around). We enjoyed our experience so much that when they offered us a discounted package for another time, we went ahead and took it. They have 4 different rooms available, plus, they're located in a shopping center near UCF which has some great food and drink options for winners (and losers) to enjoy afterwards. Definitely check them out!

The room we chose was quite challenging. The detail that went into the room was very intricate and thoroughly thought out. We loved the story behind the room. There is a limited amount of hints available compared to other places, but since it was our friend's birthday, they gave us extra hints if we needed them or said we could add additional time.

(Super cool park) I thought it was a cool concept and I really enjoyed being outside for the day with the beautiful park and amazing weather that day. The only downside is that it isn't as immersive as a normal escape room. Everything is done on a tablet really and even though you're walking to different spots in the park, everything is really just a puzzle on the tablet. And sometimes the answers we'd put in would be right, but the tablet wanted it typed differently. A little annoying at times, but it's all a program so I get it. I would've liked a little more immersion with things in the real world. Almost like combining a geocache idea with an escape room. All in all, we had a great time and would definitely go back to try out the rooms too. We ended up finishing the room early and getting in the top 10 on the scoreboard too which was fun!

Once we all signed our waivers, they got us inside and showed us a rules video and also a story intro video. We did the ninja room which was an hour long. We had a really great time in this room. I like that they had a walkie talkie to look at us, and it wasn't entirely reliant on the TV screen. We ended up asking for 2 clues, but they gave us hints along the way if they felt we were going down the wrong rabbit holes. One of their effects had technical difficulties, so they paused our time to troubleshoot, and then came and manually got us through that step. We got out with 15 minutes to spare. Emmi and Maya knocked it out of the park for us. Overall it was an awesome time, and I'm excited try more rooms from these guys! I also wanted to add: this room had some divide and conquer potential, but not a ton. At any given time there were usually 2 or 3 things you could work on. It was nice because there were 6 of us so it kept us all busy.

Walking in the door and hearing screams and laughter did nothing but encourage us to put in every effort to make the dream work with teamwork! Can't wait to go back
