    Bowling area

    What a fun place! We brought our daughter (and her two friends) here while visiting grandpa's house in Mesa. This place is HUGE. We had a great time and having crumbl in the same plaza for a late night cookie run post bowling was a perfect ending for the kiddos. The worker at the food bar even gave us free ice cream because we said we were visiting! Good music, nice people, funny videos on the big screens while bowling - a great atmosphere for families!

    Good movie, comfy seats, in good company! Always a great place to catch a flick! Temperature is always perfect, plenty of games, bowling, mini golf, food, the works!

    The boys excited to see the new Minecraft movie @ Fat Cats!

    Fun night with the family and our neighbors at the movies to see Minecraft! We booked our seats online which made it easy to select our seats ahead. We had a great time and the popcorn was good.

    Absolute love this place! I have lots of fun here with my siblings. There is something to do here for all ages. Fat Cats includes bowling, arcade games, glow in the dark mini golf, and a cinema! I recommend coming here on a Monday, which is what I did with my family. Staff was friendly and I can see myself returning here once more with social gatherings! Highly recommended coming here to have fun!

    If you are ever in the Mesa area and looking for something fun to do, FatCats is the place to go. It's a fun entertainment place that has an arcade, bowling, putt putt, and movies. We went and did the glow in the dark putt putt. It's a great family activity! We also played in the arcade for a bit! It was very addicting. It's not as big as a Dave and Busters arcade, but it's a decent size if you have little ones. My husband and I also had a date here while we were visiting. We watched The Color Purple which was a very beautiful movie. And the theater was not packed at all, we were the only 2 people in the theater. It has reclining chairs and they are very comfortable. The bathrooms here are very clean and if you have a baby and forget a diaper or supplies for cleaning, FatCats even has you covered. The overall vibe is they care about their establishment and it shows. If you're ever looking for something to do as a family or even a date, FatCats is worth trying. Also, it's not that expensive either, be on the lookout for weekly specials and take advantage of them.

    Free ball

    Come and enjoy the show and get out of the heat. For $5 Tuesday, can't beat it. put your feet up and relax.

    We love FatCats! We go all the time with our Pogo Passes. We like to go on Wednesday to take advantage of their half price arcade games. Bowling and glow golf is the best way to get out of the heat and spend the afternoon! We also usually purchase the big popcorn bucket to refill all year long - it's the best way to feed a big group of kids on a budget! My kids always look forward to it!

    Glow Golf!

    We came in to hang out and have fun! Mission accomplished! We ate a delicious BBQ Chicken pizza while we watched some NBA/NHL playoffs! We also played glow golf! It's not much but we had fun! There was also movies, bowling, and a sweet arcade!

    We got the best prices

    I recently checked out the $29.99 unlimited gameplay deal, which included an entree (drinks not…read moreincluded), unlimited games (bowling shoes $4.95 extra), and a $10 arcade card with 50 points. I ordered the Double Cheeseburger with the Cotton Candy Shirley Temple ($4.99 extra). We decided to bowl for 2 1/2 hours; it was so much fun! We went around noon on a Monday before the crowds, so only a few lanes were full at the time. The food was so good and flavorful! The burger was so juicy and cooked perfectly! I loved the drink; it was so fun and a great photo op! We played a few games of billiards , and afterward, we decided to check out the arcade. I was a little sad some games were out of order, so I only got to play a few, but overall I had a great time! This is such a great deal for the price and what's included! I definitely recommend checking it out!

The pass included 2 slices of pizza as well, the kids got meal tickets to cash in. Mini sliders came with smashed patties, caramelized onions, special sauce, lettuce & tomato. They were listed as an appetizer but I preferred if over a full size burger because of the crispy edges & meat : bread ratio. Salads, fried pickles, fries, Brussels sprouts, etc were all very well made. I was honestly surprised on the quality of everything because my bar was set on Dave & Buster's. Highly recommend for groups of kids. We will definitely be back!

    When visiting my parents who are snowbirds, we looked into visiting an arcade in the area. I'm a…read morebig killer queen fan, the 5 vs 5 game, and we looked up on the official site the locations that had it in the Phoenix area. This place did not show up, but it was the closest so we decided to go here. We walk in the door and killer queen is standing right in front of us. This is the best arcade in the Phoenix metropolitan area and it's not particularly close. This has everything from new pinball with QR codes and sign in rewards and tournaments, to old-school pinball, and really obscure cabinets. We saw them multiplayer arcade games, like Simpsons and ninja Turtles and area 51. They have rare games like the Batman arcade game to super monkey ball with the banana joystick. Having a full room for dance dance revolution with chairs so that a group could go and experience it together ensure each other on is high level arcade experience. Plus the idea of that once you get in with the admission fee, you get to play as much as you want on anything you want is incredible. Folks may not realize that a lot of pinball games these days are a dollar to two dollars per play. If you're bringing in anyone that isn't accustomed to it, will you make back the admission fee back by just a couple of pinball cabinets. And then, if you wanna leave get lunch, or leave and go to a brewery, you can come back with the same wristband on it and they let you back in. Same thing goes if you're with a group of kids and you want to go to Dairy Queen or something, you can go right back in and keep playing. I brought two college age kids here, and of course a lot of these games they haven't played before, but I didn't need to keep a pocket full of quarters, I could just let them roam and we met up periodically to play some group games together. They loved it. They got to be kids again. Why is the five stars are not just a simple four stars is that the little things also matter or like concessions. Bottled water is a dollar. The vintage and playful toy decor is super fun. There's free parking. I don't think every arcade these days needs to be a bar arcade where you get 60% bar and 40% arcade. I like places like this a lot more where the games of the focus the fund is the focus, and then if you want to do your adult things you can do those offsite. I fully recommend this place to any grandparents in the area and you gotta bring some grandkids to do something or burn a few hours. And if you're in town for a ball game or something like that in the area, consider going here as a fun change up, especially when it's scorching hot outside.

The place was busy but not crowded. We went later in the evening and most the customers were adults or older children. We will be back
