    I see why Main Event has a pull. They have bowling, billiards, and even laser tag and gravity…read moreropes. There wasn't much explanation available for gravity ropes or laser tag and I kinda felt like "just there" and while I could figure things out, since I am not in the best physical shape and partially because I coordinated a lot of planning probably, it was a bit overwhelming for me. Since it was my first time with gravity ropes, I was there with two friends the first time around. That's how I learned about gravity ropes, but they are only open Friday through Monday and not on a Wednesday night. I don't remember what the staffer told me Wednesday night, but I tried calling to see if I needed to reserve Gravity Ropes and since I couldn't get through, I figured I would just wait until I got on-site to reserve a time slot. Since my friends were coming later than requested, I had to wait until the last person came in order for me to request a time for our entire group to be together for it. This was all fine. Gravity ropes, you get strapped in safety gear and then you figure out how to go across the obstacles. Some obstacles don't have rope railings and the zip lining has no railings of course (but i didn't realize it was zip lining until I was there lol). but you might hold on to your rope to slide to the other side even if you would get rope burn. Laser tag has a name for the suit you put on so that you know your score but that wasn't apparent and the landscape for the laser tag was eh. Not many places offer laser tag and gravity ropes- but I think I will venture elsewhere on my own. Signs saying if it's your first time for laser tag or gravity ropes at our facility, asking a staffer could be helpful so that staffers don't have to unnecessarily repeat themselves etc. My blue slushie came out fine. They also offer alcoholic slushies here which is a cool option and offers that added party atmosphere and flavor options that some people like myself like. I didn't get one because I didn't want one before doing gravity ropes and my group didn't stay long enough for me to have one as others wanted to go elsewhere. I enjoyed their VR machines but some parts may be not working super good. I heard the food was typical arcade quality bad. Some of the crowd's lack of class here somewhat resemble the apathy and exhaustion from some of the staff that work here. Particularly some of the people who looked like they barely passed for 21. Two of them cut in line for gravity ropes in the middle of my group but they couldn't go on because they didn't get strapped on. A group of girls didn't seem to pay attention to the regular line for signing up for billiards or bowling, and assumed they were there first. I wasn't in a hurry and just let them ahead but I didn't care for the sense of entitlement. Also, It feels like there could be a few more staff on this busy Sat night too. The experience was discombobulating for me and I would only go again w friends if they wanted me to go.

    My best friend chose Main Event to celebrate her birthday. This particular location's hospitality…read moreis poor which negatively impacted the amount of time spent on fun. We arrived for our 6pm reservation to find 7 parties ahead of us. We were told it could be up to a 3hr wait. I felt compelled to wait being that I drove 2hrs to celebrate. We elected to dine to take up a portion of the wait. We seated ourselves and were not acknowledged despite sitting right in front of the bar. Three people from our party ordered directly from the bar. I requested a server. Our server was kind, but not attentive. We ordered several shareable items but did not receive utensils or plates. A caveat - we enjoyed our food. I especially liked the fried pickles and mozzarella sticks. My other best friend ordered a pizza and wings and seemed to enjoy them as well. We agreed the Rum Punch was satisfactory. Our lane was ready after an hour and a half. We had to find our server and ask for the bill, again. I'm not sure if by default, but the suggested gratuity ADDED to the bill when the terminal was handed to my best friend was at 22%. My best friend took the gratuity down to 18%. While bowling the birthday person was gone for some time. A discrepancy with the reservation led to the manager being called, which took some discussion to sort out. We did not love bowling, the lanes are set up in a way that fouls are abundant. We were not yet finished with our games when an employee began collecting the balls. I typically like playing laser tag, air hockey, etc., however, I had completely lost my appetite for fun. This was a complete miss.

    Payout rate is way too high. Seriously…read more.. Paid $120 for a card. Each credit comes out to 0.14. Claw games are about 11 credits which makes each swipe roughly $1.50. Swiped 15 times to try to win a Pokemon plush but it would not grab. The pay out rate is too damn high. I understand they need to make money but god damn... Ef this place.

    I still come here because it's easiest for me to park without having to pay extra. The specials…read morefor Round One in general seem to have lots of offerings at once or very little unless you want to make a 20 or 30 dollar purchase or buy some item for 50-70 or so with making a purchase. . . I'm not sure if the fries with hot cheetos toppings is new, but I like hot cheetos a lot- so I gave it a whirl. They seem to do the fries well here as I've been able to nibble from a friend's before and my own dish was good. It did take awhile to be put together, but I was okay with that as I wasn't in a hurry. Also, the extra time probably helped for the quality to be enhanced. It was typical arcade quality, but it was well done. They only have one working regular DDR machine currently, and sometimes now, I have to wait behind other(s) even during weekday evenings. They updated their prize store currently- I see more neon signs which I think is a good choice, it looks like more game system choices are available, and they still have an automatic vacuum cleaner which I believe is the most expensive ticket item in the prize store currently. My age is showing at this place because I always lose my marbles at the Castlevania machines. They have at least 2 or 3 StepManias here. There's a good variety of claw type machines, regular Japanese based games, and a few regular US type arcade games.

    4/5/2026 Let me start by saying the staff at this location…read moreare absolutely phenomenal. I would like to give a special shoutout to Rachel who provided impeccable service, helping load game cards, double checking our food order and making us feel welcome the entire time! I was greeted as soon as I stepped in by the front desk and bartender smiles shining under the florescent lights. I ordered the bay breeze and it was a good start. I had a Groupon that was easily redeemed. Lanes were cleaned, bowling balls were easily accessible. This is an overall a great time for parties, professionals or just a casual time like I did. Ordered a round of wings they were okay a bit bland with the garlic parm flavor seemed oily but had a decent crunch. Endless events for the kids and league tournaments just ask to sign up. Arcade area and a spot I would like to highlight the Photo Booth. With our group of 5 they have a back camera on the booth so we all fit perfectly. Bathroom rating: Main:1/5 full trash cans, trash on floor, soap dispenser broken Mom bathrooms w/ changing tables: 3/5 Both bathrooms smelled excuse my French pissy.

    I went for one of the unlimited bowling nights It was only $20 and I managed to get almost 4 games…read morein so it was a great value. The staff was extremely nice and it was a good vibe; lots of family and friend parties. No riff-raff, just good wholesome fun.
