It was a lot of fun, to play with the kids. The Games were fun and kept us moving and laughing! We did t try the food, but the water was a nice touch at the end to rehydrate and send us off feeling good. read more

Teatime in Wonderland was overpriced. The Hatter is the only character that interacts w a large group of over 30 people, while the March Hare and the White Rabbit make a brief appearance at the beginning, ushering people in, and aren't seen until the end when the Hatter asks for more money to do pictures. PS read the fine print when purchasing tickets: It clearly states that GRATUITY is INCLUDED with the ticket fees. For two people it's almost $300, and the flare and the food I'm so sorry to say were just not worth it; table displays were cool but once you play with them a bit, it lacks lasting entertainment. The food was themed to a tea service, so you get a couple rounds of tea (in tea bags not loose and the server didn't know what types of tea he was handing out!) plus a small cookie (Eat Me), a small salad, a small size brioche-ish 'bao' cheesy mushroom (shaped not fungus), two small scones, a flight of 4 mini "sandwiches" and lastly a flight of mini desserts at the end. It was not worth over $100, if you figure half the price is food and the other divided between paying the servers and "actors" & the play area. The Hatter's banter wasn't even amusing, scripted or when he was talking to the group...and he spent the majority of the time at the two other tables in the room and barely interacted with ours. Awkwardly did riddles and asked for poetry, so be prepared for at least something to say if he asks you. When they are done, you are invited to stay and play in their interactive play area but there is no one to guide you to it or tell you what to do. We did find someone once inside the space who was willing to show us a few games, but most of the games were not loaded, so there's like 2-3 things per room vs the multiple ones they show on the display screens next to them. There's no explanation on how to do the majority of the games so you have to figure it out. This is just dumb--you waste time trying to figure out whether you understand what you're doing or if the game is even working right. Do wear comfortable shoes because the majority of the games make you run. I'm not showing all the food or the room, so you can be surprised if you go. They might not do the same service for food, but they might. There is no alcohol served w the tea, but they have a bar available outside of the room and also in the play area. This might be more fun if drunk or it might be just as boring. Perhaps if you have a bunch of friends with money to waste, this could be amusing? Our table was BORING AF (was not assigned seating but think long buffet type tables) and I'm not sure why all these 60s+ people were even there, as they definitely didn't stay to play and wasted their money, just sitting there not talking. read more

This was our second time visiting the electric playhouse, and it's always such a fun experience. Our friends were visiting from LA (where we used to live), and they brought their little monsters, oops I mean children, so we thought this would be the perfect place. The best part was the room where the kids get to let their energy all go, throwing the balls to the wall (and sometimes accidentally on each other), it's a nice way for them to get tired , have fun, without hurting themselves or anyone. For older children there are other games where you have to figure out how to play it, like following a puzzle or pattern of lights, etc. There's even one where your body resembles air hockey. For the adults there's lots of alcohol at the bar and cool lights to zone out to while the children have their fun. They even have food there too if you get hungry. The service is excellent and the staff is friendly. I would recommend to anyone if you want your little Ones to have fun, while you're getting a nice head change and break from the usual day to day, bring them here. read more

This place sucks!! Like other reviewers have mentioned, the employees are the worst. The employee that checked us in at the front was watching a tv show or movie on his tablet and seemed very upset that we distracted him from it. Multiple games were out of order as well. Don't waste your time here. The owners need a serious overhaul or just pull the plug. read more

Highly Disappointing Corporate Event - A Lack of Service and Professionalism We hosted a corporate event at Electric Playhouse this past Wednesday and Thursday, and unfortunately, the experience was extremely lackluster. From the start, it was a disorganized mess. On the first day, our breakfast was over 30 minutes late, and they ran out of food, forcing 16 of our attendees to find lunch elsewhere. The staff was consistently rude and unhelpful, with a clear disconnect between the sales team and the line-level employees--they openly blamed each other for the issues. Our planned happy hour wasn't even set up in the correct location, and the staff's attitude suggested they couldn't care less. A manager was nowhere to be found. Hoping for improvement, we arrived on day two. While breakfast was on time, there was no syrup for the pancakes. When I asked about it, I was met with a dismissive "no there isn't any, I guess I can ask the kitchen." By the time the syrup arrived, our employees were already in their first session. Again, a manager was absent and could not be located. Lunch on the second day was passable and at least there was enough of it, but by then, the damage was done. Based on our two-day experience, I absolutely **do not recommend** hosting any type of private or corporate event here. The lack of management, rude staff, and consistent failures in service made for a very unprofessional and frustrating event. read more

Very disappointing experience. The employees were rude and unhelpful. We checked in and were told some activities not available because of an event. We could not even enjoy the entrance. Employees did not tell us or guests where to enter. Place was too crowded. We booked for 2 hours and only got to enjoy maybe 20 minutes out of it. To have to pay full price and only be allowed to enjoy half the activities is despicable. Hell there was no one at the snack or alcohol bars either. Not worth the price pf admission. read more

The staff was all dejected and sad right when we walked in and checked in. I think because there was an event that day. One of the younger bartenders was obviously hurt to her core because she had to work or serve drinks. I have no idea. She was like extremely disgusted with the world that day. Super awkward experience. I still tipped though because damn lol Probably won't be back here. It's in a crusty area of town too. 0/10 read more

This place was practically empty on a Saturday night of a holiday weekend. That says a lot. When we (my sister's family of four, and me, the Auntie) walked in the door, a very zoned-out dude at the front desk checked us in, but gave us zero instructions or information. My brother-in-law then asked questions ("How long is our slot? Do we need any instructions?"), and only then did we get answers. The interactive spaces with video games and lighted walls responsive to touch are pretty cool. But after about 30 minutes, our 8-year-old said, "Is this all there is?" My thoughts exactly. For anyone wondering if this is anything like Meow Wolf..... no. Meow Wolf is in a completely different league. If you'd been there, you'd know. read more

I swear I have the worst luck. The one Sunday I actually had some time to kill and finally made it here. Wouldn't you know they are closed that day. That is always my luck with this place. Every time I've attempted to come it's always closed whether it's for a special event or just a normal closed day. This time around it was a special event smh. I can never seem to get there when they are actually open. It's very disappointing because I've been dealing with this since they reopened after Covid started. I know I'm very busy especially these days and it's rare for me to have some downtime. I understand they are busy as well. I guess I just have sum it all to bad luck. It sure would be nice if they actually were open when I finally do get the opportunity to go on a weekday, weekend, whatever day it may be. Hopefully my next attempt I'll finally get to see this. If not I think I might throw in the towel. read more

This place was so much fun! 110% recommend! Went with my man and my parents; everyone enjoyed themselves so much. We got to try all the interactive games and if we had any questions on how to operate one a worker was available to assist. You could tell they wanted to play as well haha Food was pretty good. I saw the happy hour prices after we ate and realized it wasn't honored while we were there. No biggie, but good to know for the future. I read they have live performances here. Definitely recommend for kids and adults. Great for a fun date with family, friends, or a special person in your life! Personally I think it would be a fun first date idea ;-) 100% check it out! Again, they have a restaurant so if you need a break from playing you can go into the restaurant area to dine in. The workers are fantastic! Very accommodating. Really great experience! **We did not participate in the immersive dining experience** read more

This is a great out of the ordinary date night experience. We attended the Space Cruise Dinner. The staff were great and helpful. It was a fun mix of interesting food pairings, light, motion, sound & story. There is some room for improvement in the production piece (partially open black curtain, inaccurate menu at the table...). Overall it was a good meal and a great date night. I suspect it will only get better over time. After the space Cruise, we were allowed to go into the electric playhouse game area. This was a much appreciated bonus. I'll definitely be returning with my kids in the future. read more

Shocking how rude and unprofessional this venue treated everyone at Pink Pony Circus. The host Sadly Sunshine deserves better!! And thank you to every one that put in hard work for this show. Here's what happened: - $15 tickets - Show started over an hour late - Not notified that theres no re-entry, so when a model (in the show) realized they forgot to lock their car, the staff made things very difficult and forced this grown adult to be walked out to make sure they weren't "pre gaming" - Now as I'm typing the manager is blowing up this ^^^ persons phone over the disagreement - Good security but they ruffled through all the performers/models/guests work bags - Terrible lighting/stage setup for the show and performers - EXPENSIVE DRINKS (I paid $10 for a .5 oz shot of whiskey) - WATER was no where near the bar, and the bartender made rude comments to a designer about it when they ASKED for WATER - Was there supposed to be food? Maybe once they get there things in order, they can go above and beyond to feed their hostages read more

My husband's company chose this location for their company Christmas party. We were rudely received by the staff serving us and practically forced into a room to eat dinner. If we got up to order our drinks at the bar the waitstaff rolled their eyes, huffed and puffed and threw dirty looks, the bartender was the least friendly person I had ever tried to converse with. The entire staff acted as if they had better places to be. The food and ambience overall were good and fun to be in, you just had to pretend no one worked there. Then as we were being rudely ushered off premises, one of the security cards literally pushed one of the doctors out of the door to leave. If you are going for pretty lights GREAT, if you are going for customer service AVOID AT ALL COSTS!!!! read more

I went to the show last night, paid like 30 dollars to get in. I stood in line to get a drink for 45min and only got half way through the line. I didn't feel like standing in line for another 45min so I left. They had another bar that wasn't serving drinks. Not sure why they thought they wouldn't need that bar for a busy show. Needless to say, I will not be going back. read more

I came here for the grand celebration last night and it was such a blast! I've been to a couple of digital art museums but this one is different. The reason is because everything they have is interactive and a game. I didn't know that everything was a game and you can compete against others, that made it super fun! There was definitely a dance floor with a DJ which was great. They did say they had free food but never received or saw anything of that sort which is odd. Great place to experience! Not too sure if it is a place that I would consistently go unless there were major events, maybe? read more

So much fun!! This was not what I expected. When I walked in it looked like a norma little cafeteria with a bar, but the long hallway of lights leads to such an amazing, interactive experience! We entered the cafe and ordered our drink while I waited for my husband. The kids got Dr.Pepper and I felt a little adventurous, ordering The Flash. It was a delicious bourbon based beverage with orange juice and lime. So tasty! The food was incredible, especially the truffle garlic herb fries and the play was fantastically awesome. My son and I were competing for #1. The best part? The waitress said the games change often and are rarely the same! So if you've been there once, you can go back and it willbe completely different!! read more

Honestly this place is fun. I also went on a Monday since they are offering deals (half off). My nephews had fun picking the games and going room to room. Is it pricey, yes. But if you complaint about everything being expensive then we would not have any places or events that caters to everyone. I really think people should give this place a try. read more

*Came here as part of the soft opening for Yelp * Was easy to find, ample parking, and seemed like it would be a reasonable price during admission hours. The games didn't come with instructions, but it was pretty easy to catch on. It was kind of like a downscaled Meow Wolf is the best way I would describe it. My favorites were the soccer and the dots game that were like musical chairs. By about 9:30, the place cleared out quickly and we were told that the kitchen had already closed (could probably spend an hour and a half to two hours here tops). It would be nice to come back and check out the immersive dining experience. Their website says it's also good for parties and corporate events, but I can't imagine 50+ people trying to enjoy the same activities together, unless the rooms are very flexible. I don't know how often the rooms and games would switch up, but it would be nice to see, or if there were other games that opened to the public on Saturday. read more

TLDR: The experience was overall a big letdown and in no way worth over $200 for two people. We did the Winter in Technicolor dining event on its opening night. My partner and I were visiting from out of town and heard Electric Playhouse was a fun place, so decided to make it a dinner date. The entire evening is supposed to be "themed," including the menu and the interactive experience, but it was not cohesive at all. Don't go expecting to feel holiday cheer. The interactive part was wholly lackluster. Each course had a different projection and only 3 of them were interactive, with the same exact effects - run your hand over the table and it moves some pixels around. The only projection that felt anything like winter was the initial snowflakes upon entering - some of the rest were pretty despite not feeling anything like winter, while some were bizarre - like a neon green worm that spread across the walls, with a totally clashing color on the table. The food was actually great, with the prime rib cooked perfectly. Dessert was fantastic. All of the dishes had good flavor and adequate portions. The chef came out afterwards and was very genuine. We spent the extra $20 per person to add on drink pairings and I expected cute cocktails and maybe wine with the main course, but unfortunately it was just two different two-finger pours of wine and one champagne flute of wine. Sometimes the wine didn't even come until after the corresponding course was half finished. We would not have paid the extra $40 to add on the drink pairings if I knew it was a glass and a half of wine. Service was slow, with long pauses in between courses. Courses were brought out 2-3 servings at a time, and often one end of the table had finished their course before the other end was even served. Several of the staff did not seem to have much experience with waiting tables, and it was difficult to get water refills or order drinks (which cost extra), especially during the first half of the evening. There was a lot of in-and-out of the door, which took away from the immersive part of the experience since it was so bright in the lobby. The cherry on top of the experience was the real entertainment - our fellow diners. A couple of rowdy gals came together and said this interactive dinner was boring compared to the other ones they had been to, so they got up and started messing with the projection controls, changing it to Halloween and other random themes. This lasted for about 15 minutes until staff came in, saw what they were doing, and then obliged them by scrolling through the projection library. The last 20 minutes consisted of tombstones, blood splatters, and spiders crawling across the table. Completely changed the tone of the evening. Included gratuity and taxes brought the total to over $200 for two people. We could've had a helluva meal at a super nice restaurant for $200. Also - no one ever answers the phone. I tried calling several times during business hours over the course of two days prior (and also messaged them on Facebook) to see if there was a dress code for the dinner, and it always went straight to voicemail. In case you're wondering, you can wear pretty much whatever you want. Some people were dressed up, others were in a nice shirt and jeans. We did step into the main, general admission area after dinner and played a couple of the games, which was fun. It was nearly empty because they were closing for an event that evening, meaning we also didn't have much time to hang out. Maybe I was ruined by going to Meow Wolf the night before, but there were only 5-6 games and I couldn't imagine coming there when it is busy. Seems like it would be a lot of sitting around and waiting your turn. read more

The kids loved the Electric Playhouse. It was like being involved in the middle of a video game. It was interactive with moving your arms and feet to stimulate the various games. It was room after room of stimulation. My favorite was the slug shuffle, and eating the fruits on the floor. What a fun way to spend part of your Saturday afternoon. The kids cannot wait to go back. read more

March 15 2023 This is the review I wish *I* had before I went. As a solo person for most things this is a group place. At very minimum a couple place.

This is a review on the GENERAL ADMISSION and their cafe. I did not participate in their "immersive dining experience," but we paid for general admission and got food from their cafe inside. This would be a total 5-star experience but I would not recommend using their Café unless your tired and want to take a load-off or you've got nothing but time. This is a new place and I went within a few days of their post-pandemic opening and I believe the cafe inside WILL eventually work out their "kinks" of being new and assimilate. We ordered a playhouse Cobb salad and a large pizza. The wait service was slow but friendly. The salad was good and appropriate for the price. But then we wait and wait and wait for the pizza, we waited over an hour and was told the kitchen didn't originally receive our pizza order (even though the salad and pizza were ordered at the same time). SMH. The pizza eventually came but ate into the 2 hours we received for general admission. Okay unto the experience- on huge walls, are interactive video games for all to play. Included virtual soccer. It was a lot of fun and we will be back! read more

What a fun place for kids and big "kids"!! I went onborevieW night with 8 year old and 16 year old and we all had a great time!! It's not like an amusement park so o the Choi ices of activities aren't like 100 but enough too entertain you for an hour or two for sure. You have too be willing to just get out there and DO the things! It's mostly interactive WITH other people and it's more fun that way. I loved the color mix wall (don't know what it's really called) where you can virtually mix the colors and designs you make with yourr body movement ents in front of the wall without touching it. You can take a super cool photos in front if it. I also lOved watching my kid playing a viirtual soccer(ish) game! Scores are kept as a colored line along the side of the team wall. Super cool For the grown ups, there's a fashionably simply decorated bar in the corner. This place is a dream for photographers because the opportunity is limitless!!

** DISCLAIMER ** Not for people who suffer from seizures, migraines, balance deficiency especially if triggered by visual components. It's dark, flashing/bright lights from games, moving objects on walls, floors, ceilings. Took my 9 year old nephew. He has been here many times, asked me to go when I was visiting from out of state. Overall pretty cool place. Something for everyone from elementary aged kids to adults. Had a lot of fun. We didn't order anything to eat or drink, but they had a self serve water station. I appreciated having a designated area for food and drinks reducing the risk of falls in the actual play areas. The only con I have is it was pretty hot inside (I'm usually too warm in general and I'm sure it's difficult to cool a place in the desert with everyone expelling heat by playing) read more

Very neat concept, but the staff doesn't not help customers in any manner. They hand you an iPad that is broken to sign a waiver and walk away instead of helping you. When you tell them it's your first time they give no directions or guidance. People let their kids run rampant, which is no surprise since there isn't an employee to be found on the inside. They only have one working restroom so plan accordingly if you have more than one kid. All of the activities are dirty and half of them don't even work. The price is decent but you will see why when they don't have a way to monitor the two hour time limit and kids are dropped off and left unsupervised for hours. read more

It was outrageously expensive. I was expected a cool interactive Meow Wolf kind of experience. Instead it felt like a disorienting tech bro hang out. It was fine but felt like wildly overpriced for how uninspired the whole place was. Two of the games interested my kids and we played them back and forth. But don't think I'll come again. Especially since when I tried to reschedule our reservation due to unsafe driving conditions because of the dust storm I was put in an endless loop. I couldn't reschedule online. When I called I could only get through to a recording which told me to leave a message then the inbox was full! There was no way to reschedule. Luckily the weather improved just in time but not at all happy with how I almost ended up paying for a reservation I couldn't safely use. Terrible customer service model.

Wish I could give this place a better rating unfortunately due to the experience we received from the "General manager" ANGIE, we will not be coming back nor recommending this location to anyone we know. On Saturday at 2pm Angie approached me and my family with a rude tone and demeanor as we were feeding one of our toddlers in the front lounge area telling us that there were no food allowed in the facility and walked away. Which was not a problem for us, we simplify did not see the sign. After the initial shock of being spoken to in such a rude and uncalled for manner we felt the need to speak to an employee to let her know that there was a better way for Angie to approach the situation. Angie came back and pulled us out of the game room to tell us again in a condescending manner not to speak to her employee as she was "just doing her job". As I reiterated to Angie that there was a way to approach customers especially as she claimed the role of general manager she continuously cut me off mid sentence telling us, "why do i need to be sorry, there's a sign in the front" (referring to the 8x11.5 printed paper in front of the entrance to the game room). Instead of taking the constructive criticism she walked away from us as we were talking to her. She continued to give my family and I a hard time & dirty looks throughout the entire time we were there. I think this entertainment place was pretty neat but I believe that new management training needs to be absolute PRIORITY for this location. Angie was unprofessional and incompetent, I truly believe that anyone else would've been a better fit for that position and I will absolutely be contacting corporate. read more

FIRST TIME TO THIS VENUE AND DEFINITELY THE LAST. The general manager at the front door was Soo rude, I watched her react with rage on multiple customers, what an embarrassment for a good venue, will not be attending events until this woman is gone or her attitude has changed, my friends, my family and social media will reflect the bad customer service that Electric Playhouse has!! BEWARE especially LGBTQ community, doesn't feel safe. Meow Wolf has much better service and music!! read more

I was gonna hold back on the rating. I was. I don't believe in throwing shade, I'm generally a positive dude, but I gotta be straight about this business model, at least for the time being: they need to employ some assistants. I'm not the only person who feels this way; the last time we visited, not kidding, the seven year-old in our party asked the guy at the front desk, "So, is this place fun and stuff?" Dude said, "Well, not really. I don't think so. You should decide for yourself though." The setup feels like a dynamite move. Similar to modern virtual art exhibitions, Electric Playhouse employs digital games to entertain the masses, simple light projection programs that sense bodily movement. Many of these games invite big crowds to join in, and that's where things start breaking down. I've never witnessed an employee assisting in the structure and organizing of these games. For contrast, think of the dodge ball arena at your favorite trampoline park: real, live human beings dictate rules and keep things flowing. At Electric Playhouse, it's a free-for-all, which equates to something of a sh*tshow. Putting some staff on the floor would really help change this. One last note: that same seven year-old took one bite of his pizza, set down the slice and said, "Can we please go to Dion's?" Yeah, the food can certainly improve, too. read more
