Except half of the activities are closed, there was no one working the go-karts and when someone came a fight nearly broke out. My kids have been here an hour and are already bored. It's clearly very understaffed. No laser tag which was the one thing my kids were really looking forward to doing. Apparently it has to be booked in advance but there is absolutely zero mention of it anywhere at all. It says the unlimited pass includes laser tag, so to them have to book in advance is ridiculous. We definitely won't bother with coming back.

Dare I say this might possibly be one of Chambana's best kept secrets…read more My husband and I just moved to Champaign five weeks ago and I stumbled upon the Staerkel Planetarium while using Yelp! to find "things to do in Champaign." Yay! What isn't there to love about a planetarium? (unless you're prone to motion sickness :-P) We visited at 9pm on a Saturday night for one of their Pink Floyd shows. The young woman selling tickets was very friendly, as was the gentleman (i assume a member of Parkland's faculty) who took our tickets and introduced the show. There were about a dozen other people of all ages in the dome with us. Plenty of seating. Show lasted an hour. Honestly, this is the best $6 you'll spend in the entire county. Talk about a great family friendly, friends or date night out, students, scout troops and more! Appropriate for those aged 1-101. My husband and I would like to see all of the shows they're offering throughout 2018 You can save $3 if you buy tickets to 2 back-to-back shows (total $9 per person). I think we'll do this next time. Facility was very clean and well-maintained. Big parking lot next to the planetarium. Three different shows are offered on Friday & Saturday night at 7pm, 8pm & 9pm; matinees offered during week beginning in June. Check Parkland's website for exact show titles. You can also pickup a 2018 summer show brochure at the planetarium if you're on campus. We'll definitely return. We're so fortunate to have this in the community!

The second time I visited there were 4 or 5 machines that were out of order, but I cant hold this against them because some of these games are over 50 years old and it appears they have a relatively small staff. Normally 95% of the games are operational in my experience. The Speakeasy arcade has a great, fun atmosphere which might remind some of us of simpler times. I think its like $15, maybe $20 to enter and all the games are free to play. They have lots of classics like Pacman and Asteroids, a number of racing games and a great selection of pinball games. I didnt see any fighting games but they do have a pool table as well.

If you loved the 80's & sometimes wish you could reconnect with your inner child, then this is the place for you. With an awesome collection of He-Man action figures, vintage shirts, games & much more you couldn't help but smile at the owners collection. Of course the main purpose of this business is music, true music lovers (not this my ipod makes me a dj bullsh*t ) can find a wide selection of some hard to find vinyl records & cd's; even 8-tracks! My dad found a Bruce Springsteen set in mint condition; Alex was kind enough to give him 20% off. Since my fathers never treats himself to anything, Alex's generosity meant a lot to both of us. Unfortunately, not everything was for sale...Alex happens to be a pretty talented painter, his portrait of the critters character was my favorite. There is also a stage in the very back room as well as arcade games. This shop is truly a cool place to explore in the practically empty mall.

At first glance, it reminded me of Dave and Busters as it was riddled with games galore and a bowling alley! The private room was spacious and came with a bar, a place to play bags outside, a pool table and a basketball goal. As people trickled in, I shot some hoops and played a couple games of pool. The food they served was standard bar fare: pizza, t-ravs, salad, pretzel nuggets, buffalo and cheeseburger sliders. Surprisingly, the food was pretty good but the cookies were trash. The people working the event were friendly and attentive. I wish we had a chance to play games on the outside but maybe we'll get the chance the next time we're in the area. Overall, it was a solid visit.

We ordered a variety of apps and drinks. The appetizers were all ok. We tried the mild wings and the loaded fries. My husband liked the wings and the fries were decent, but there could have been more fries for the amount of toppings on them. My biggest complaint.... The place is very dirty. The wall next to our simulator bay had food splattered on it. There was a chicken wing bone among other crumbs and food under our table when we got there and the place had just opened. The couch at our bay was dated and crumbling, making it feel even more dirty. The bathroom was also disgusting. Toilets looked like they hadn't been cleaned in weeks, and again, the place had just opened for the day. Honestly I would have maybe ordered an entree and had more to eat but I had to keep ordering vodka tonics to make myself forget how unsanitary the place felt.
