    My friend and I did the Stranger things experience last week . It was amazing! We were able to book…read moreonline a few days before and arrived on time . It was a weekday afternoon and crowded but not packed . They hook you up with a vest , eye wear , headphones and arm and leg sensors. It takes a second to get used to to equipment but it's worth it . The experience was amazing and we were in parts thrilled and terrified . The sensation of being on a moving platform or an elevator were pretty realistic . We ended up sweaty like we had a great workout . I think each session can accommodate 6 people . You get a video at the end . So much fun ! Will be back

    First- the equipment is hot on your body Second- the…read moreinteraction is physical and builds heat The floor is flat so where court shoes Dress accordingly We were allowed in groups of 6 Each person gets assigned a color Each person gets a vest with vibration inside Each person plays the hokey-pokey and gets attachments on left wrist, right wrist, left ankle and right ankle so the computer can locate movement Adjustments to each piece may need to be done Then each person gets visor... wear a headband if you have one to gap the visor for airflow Finally- each person gets headphones Verbal WARNING given "The gear is expensive so do not try to take it off yourself" We choose the Zombies, violent and action (?) as the VR experience. I ended up with shotgun (it was that or chainsaw) because I was last to choose. Understand- Zombies have weak spots and usually that spot is the head, dogs attack low, bats attack from the sky Just when you get comfortable- zombies break through the windows or attack you from behind This is truly surround and immersive so do not be stuck trying to watch the screen in front of you. Also- teammates will need a helping hand on the shoulder to revive. Action is constantly going on except when there is a problem and the screen in the visor goes black... relax and deep breath and reload till the game gets started again The experience last for under 30 minutes so give it your all and walk away happy.

    Fun arcade bar with nostalgia for all ages!…read more There are 2 floors with multiple bars and arcade games of all decades throughout. There's also skeeball on both floors but we prefer playing the one on the lower level. Pinball machines are also on both levels. Tokens can be purchased at the bar or from one of the several token machines. UpDown has friendly bartenders and frequently has theme nights and seasonal cocktails to match the holiday or theme. You can order pizza at their pizza window and it is the only food they offer. The slices are huge though! During summer, it's fun to sit on the patio off the upstairs level. Been going to UpDown for years and it's always a good time for everyone!

    The first Sunday of the month is family friendly. One of my kids is a gamer and this was a perfect…read moreplace to spend some time. Please note: the place was packed with kids and adults. Do not let that deter you. The space is much larger than it looks. There is an indoor bar and an outdoor bar with some table games and outdoor seating. There is a separate pick up window for snacks. They offer pizza by the slice, hot dogs and other goodies. The food is cheap and the pizza was solid for the price. The games require tokens which you can purchase at the bar. They have just about every game you could want! Even had a Super Nintendo set up, Dane Revolution, and my all time favorite skee ball!! My Zennial spirit was happy for this bit of nostalgia.

    I arrived round 2pm on a Thursday with my sons. It was our first time here as we were visiting from…read moreout of state. It was $100 for the 3 of us for 75 mins of play. I reserved tickets online. We were about 10 mins due to getting on the wrong train. I called to let them know and change my time but was told as long as you arrived within 20 minutes of scheduled time, you're good to go. Honesty, it was a fun time. We got hot and tired fast, especially with some of the games. They have free lockers to put Some of the games are very active with running around. Comfortable shoes and clothes you can move around in, is a must! I like how each of the rooms have several games to choose from, some are collaborate and some are competitive. 75 minutes was not enough time. This is something a family could do for 2 hours or so as time flies quickly. A feature I like is that is no one is waiting to go in the room you're in, you can continue playing. This is great as you can "level up" in games. Staff we encountered were friendly and helpful! I wish there was a place like this where I live, in NC.

    I've already been here three times and every time it's great. I'll never get tired of it…read more It's amazing for everyone. I've taken my nephews, I've taken my husband, I've been with my whole family. No matter the party size or who you're with, it's hard NOT to have fun. I also love that it's really for teamwork, not competition. You can make it competitive, but it's SO fun with the little ones to hype them up and worth together. I literally love every room, I can't pick a favorite, I could spend hours here. It's never long enough. And it's like a mini workout! It can get busy but they have it figured out to cycle the rooms pretty quick. You HAVE to come here, I promise you'll fall in love.
