    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.

    Food is garbage, and me and my friends blew 50 bucks just to redeem some prizes. Turns out we cant…read moreeven buy some gummy worms even though I have over 1000 points. Giant waste of money do NOT go, the shady local arcade is better

    My husband and I had not been bowling in several years so for my birthday we went bowling! Yay . …read more . NOT! This place is nothing like the reviews say it is. The lady at the counter acted like it was a bother for her to do anything for customers. We decided to bowl two games to start. Paid and got our shoes. Mine were too small so I went up to counter and lady acted weird that I asked for a different size. When bowling our first frame the score counter thought we had bowled our last frame. Went to counter again and the lady was irritated again. Then when we bowled our last frame it messed up again, so again, I had to go up to the counter and the lady really got irritated and treated me like I did not know the rules of bowling. While we were getting ready to bowl our second game they placed a group of 8 young guys next to us that did not know or care, about bowling etiquette. My husband had to ask one of them to move out of his way since he was standing very close to our lane. And of course, they were loud and rowdy. It was not a good experience for our first time at this place and we will not go back. Next time we will go to Milford and my guess is that any place will be better than Bowlerama in Dover, DE. Do not waste your money.

    We were looking for a place to take the kids on a really cold day. Most of the indoor playgrounds…read morerequire a timed appointment, but this place didn't so we decided to give it a try. First of all, I think the price is a bit high for the little it includes. I think it was $12 per kid (adults free) but all that gets you is access to the climbing/slide area. You have to buy a card for all the games, rides and other activities. However, it was nice to let our kids run around for a bit, although of course they didn't want to spend time in the climbing area when there were games and other attractions all around. One other nice thing is you can leave and come back all day long. We choose to grab lunch elsewhere and come back for some more fun. Don't think I would be back but happy it was available when we needed somewhere to go!

    Very cute, quaint space for children's gatherings. I came here to celebrate my niece's bday and she…read moreseemed to be having the best time in the obstacle course. There were other attractions but I didn't make note although I do recall that there was a basketball court and free standing gaming consoles. What I liked most is that there are private areas to gather in. Also, I did try the pizza, wings and fries - they weren't anything special but they were good... My favorite part of the experience was the customer service - every associate that I interacted with was friendly, professional and most importantly, helpful!

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.

    Great experience. Has a variety of games. Also , no overbearing or that loud for an arcade.read more
