They have a big suv, an old jeep, and other random stuff to make it was more fun. The only thing I would recommend is getting headlights that were the opposing team colors- it was tricky being all red. If you don't know who you're playing with, you'll never know.

TagTime was absolutely phenomenal! From the online booking process all the way to wrapping up the…read moreparty ! We booked on their website, paid the party fee and received information for waivers to send to our party guests. The owners / employees sent us a reminder text to arrive 15-20 mins early to ensure a smooth game start. When we got there we were greeted and quickly organized the kiddos to watch the safety/guidance video. The owners were so nice and truly a pleasure to work with. The establishment was clean, and well taken care of. What I love about TagTime is when the kids are playing laser tag you the whole side of the playing field is open with chain link fence so you can watch a lot of their fun & get great pics! The party room was already set with plates napkins and cups ! We were given a cart to take our cake and cookies :) - all in all we really enjoyed our visit and definitely will do it again! They also offer a military discount which is so nice! Thank you!

Flippers is a well maintained little arcade that gives you a couple hours of fun with the kiddos or…read morea great place to just stop and grab a drink or gas. Between birthday parties and playing laser tag it's always been a good place to waste time on a lazy day. Their food is ok. The basics of pizza and soda, we've attended birthdays just never held one so I can't say much for the prices on that. As far as the games go they're mainly about 3-4 credits each. They have a pinball machine area in the back and now have old gaming systems as well like Pac-Man. Those cost tokens though so I'd advise bringing cash to change out for tokens. They really haven't updated the games much besides a few here or there. A few of the games really should be updated and maintained better but otherwise it's a nice little arcade...except their ticket to prize comparison in prices. Their items are extremely overly high for what you're getting. I wouldn't go for the prizes, just fun. Which is the only reason I have them 3/5 instead of 4/5 stars.

First time here was surprised by how many machines they have. A hidden gem I recommend, cheers!read more

One thing missing is an information desk. And if they had one, I never saw it…read more I only did the bowling activity which was fun; there are so many lanes and a VIP room with additional lanes. The cost was per lane vs per person and you pay at the counter in the bowling area. If you're in the military/a vet let them know as you get a DISCOUNT. Not only that, but shoe rental and sock are free, (normally around $3.50 each). Since I didn't go in with intentions to bowl I didn't bring any, but was able to get a free pair since my cousins benefit applied to everyone in the party. The socks are actually cute (to me). It was very busy on a Friday evening and the crowd seemed to be teens and adults. Very few small kids. The servers come to the lanes to take orders, and the tablet at the bowling lane has a button to press for their help. Since it was taking long, we just ordered drinks from the bar nearby. The food, ordered later was simple, but good. -Sunset strawberry sangria is good, but could use more strawberry flavor. - Mozzarella sticks are no different then what you'd get at the grocery store and for the price the amount given isn't enough. - Wings, got a double order, 1/2 sweet chili, 1/2 garlic parmesan. I've often seen the latter on menus and steered clear because it didn't sound appealing. However, since it was ordered (for the group) I figured I'd give it a try. It was Soooooo good that I before I left I placed a to go order. Servers and staff were overall kind, but very busy. Lots of running and trying to take care of everyone. There weren't many smiles, but I imagine they were focused on the task at hand. Anyway, be kind and be patient. If you're staying at a nearby hotel let them know your going to Apex. I did (as I inquired about directions) and was given afree pass for laser tag, which I gave away.

We arrived around 10 minutes after it opened and it was already starting to get busy. You can pay to play at the desk next to the bumper cars which is closest to the ropes course, escape rooms, axe throwing and go kart racing. They do offer military discounts with an ID, just ask. They will give you a ball color of your choice for game use when you pay. Clubs are at the entrance to the right of the golf course along with the score cards and pencils on the wall. I love how they have a place at each hole number to place the score card and pencil which also provides a surface to write down your score. The course is under black lights which the edges of the course are outlined. 9/2024 This was pleasantly fun! However, it was multi -sensory overload for me the moment I walked in. We were there to celebrate my niece's birthday as a belated birthday treat for her & we had family come in out of town, who also recently had a birthday. If you do research on their website you will discover they have A LOT to do! But like everyone has mentioned activities are individually priced. I feel like the more you book, the more you should get some combo discount. They do offer 15% off for military with an ID, but not online. Caveat - It's only in person with proof of ID and you can't come in earlier in the week or in advance and pay for attractions for the future and get the 15% military discount off. It has to be purchased & used on the same day for it to be applied. There are no military discounts on Dark Ride. Some attractions you need to book in advance online like bowling, escape rooms, axe throwing, & the simulators. Check their website for any changes. Saturdays are popular, so I signed a contract for advanced scheduled attractions so that my niece and cousin could participate in the activities they wanted, to prioritize & not be disappointed or waiting a long time to participate. You do get a discount if you do so but a signed contract & payment is due prior. You don't even have to come in person to do it. Either call or email for your inquiries and they can work something out for you. We didn't book a party although you can do that but a food minimum is required and a reserved room is only for 45 minutes. Skyla, one of the events coordinator made things super easy & convenient to book. She was very helpful answering questions. I had never been so I wasn't familiar where attractions were located. Once I found out, I planned all the activities on the same floor back to back for convenience & chose available times that were roughly 30 minutes apart. We just showed up, checked in at the desks located close to that attraction. Silas, one of the managers came to greet me and informed me where to go. He was pleasant and willing to answer any questions. We did the 30 minute Zombie Research Lab escape room. You want to check in 20 minutes prior to your reserved time. It was fun and we broke out with 7 min & 22 seconds left with a group of six. They have quality props and hints pop up on the tv monitor. Four of us participated in the ropes course. You're allotted 15 minutes to do whatever elements you want. They make you empty out all your pockets for safety since you're 40 feet above the ground over the bowling alley. I'm not sure if it was because we booked it as a group under a contract that it was only the 4 of us at the one session, but that was nice. There were maybe one or two elements that were challenging. But it was still fun! Our 3rd activity was axe throwing which is a flat fee regardless of the number of people, max of 6 per lane for an hour. Darrel was our instructor and he was fun! We really enjoyed ourselves and with some of us he really tried his best to help land some throws but some just couldn't. There were alot in our group that didn't participate but they were able to enjoy us throwing axes. My niece was killing it with her throwing skills. Our last activity was an hour of bowling. These are time sensitive so you better arrive 15 min earlier to get your rental shoes and pick your ball. We did the VIP lane which is an additional price but great because there are only 4 VIP lanes and they are away from the rest of the lanes. You can still see lanes 5 and on but there's a glass wall in between & it's a lot quieter. The seating is comfortable and enough to fit six people. Bowling is also a flat fee for an hour or more up to six people. Plus an additional $5 pp for shoe rentals. But if you have a military ID you can get up to six shoe rentals for free. You can also order food at your lanes but I don't think anyone came by to take our order. Unless someone in our group went up & ordered. Overall we spent from 2pm -7pm there. We even squeezed in a hologate game of Zombie Resurrection which is an adventure in itself!

We recently hosted a birthday party at Flipper McCoy's in Virginia Beach and overall had a really…read morefun and positive experience. The biggest downside was the heat, especially upstairs in the laser tag area. It was uncomfortably hot and could definitely use better ventilation. The party room itself is on the smaller side and felt very cramped (only accommodates 12 bodies comfortably) and was warm too. The arcade noise carries in even with the door closed as the walls don't go up to the ceiling, but noise is expected in an arcade setting. That said, there were a lot of thoughtful touches that really stood out. The party room was decorated well, with detailed under the sea murals on the wall, and the place settings were surprisingly nice with sturdy glowing plastic plates, cups, and neatly arranged silverware that matched the neon and black-light theme. It made it feel more put-together than typical party setups. (Even though I decorated with my own decorations and partyware, as the birthday girl had a particular theme she wanted.)Our party attendant made it a point to check in to empty trash and make sure everything was going smoothly. One of the most appreciated features was that parents could watch the laser tag games from downstairs on the screens, and a few were even allowed to jump in and play with their kids at no extra charge, which was awesome. The kids absolutely loved the variety of arcade games and had a blast. Party pricing and packages were comparable to other venues, with three options to choose from, and we really liked being able to bring our own food and drinks. They were also very accommodating, since there wasn't a party before ours, they let us in early to decorate at no extra cost, and they didn't rush us out at the end, only asking for 30 minutes to reset the room for the next group. That flexibility made a huge difference, especially since we had the largest party package with multiple laser tag rounds plus arcade time, cake, and food. Parking was a bit tricky, but that was expected at the oceanfront (and we were glad it was the off-season). Most importantly, the kids had an amazing time and the birthday girl is already asking to have another party there, which says it all. A FUN venue with great staff and party flexibility, just be prepared for the heat, especially upstairs, the typical arcade noise (even in the party room) and the frustration of VB Oceanfront parking, as there isn't dedicated parking for the venue.

This arcade switched to a card system some years ago and sadly can't be trusted. Games were both…read moreover charging and under charging. This is something that may be either an intentional or nonintentional system of skimming money from distracted and over stimulated parents. Several dollar games were over charging, and some other games were under charging. When I brought it to the attention of the owners I was told about how many tickets I had, this was not what I was asking about. I was asking about what was going on with their system to where the price advertised and the priced charged where not aligned. My suggestion if this is not intentional would be for the business to reconsider using the third-party card service. Sadly, the majority of parents that go here load a card and give it to a child, and let's face no kid no matter how smart is going to be able to do math in an arcade like Flippers. I'm not sure if this is just a weak spot in business management or a completely intentional action to exploit the American tourist. I had photos of the games over charging me and the man I spoke with was not addressing the issue. The American Arcade is a fading experience that many kids today won't get the luxury of experiencing it in all its glory. Encouraging those in the arcade business to consider protecting the traditional aesthetic of arcades through the of physical tickets and actual money.

When we arrived, we were initially told the wait time would be around 50 minutes. Shortly afterward, an employee informed us it would actually be closer to 30 minutes because the system had "moved some things around." We waited patiently, watching multiple races go by. After some time, I asked the pit master when our race would begin and was told we were up next. When we checked again later, we discovered that we had never been added to the queue at all. Despite this being entirely their mistake, we were told we would have to wait even longer before being able to race. At that point, we decided we no longer wanted to participate and requested a refund. The staff refused to refund our money and instead offered free races at a later time. We declined because, after the experience we had already endured, we simply wanted our money back. To make matters worse, the facility was extremely hot because the air conditioning appeared to be either broken or ineffective, and the restroom had a strong odor of urine and feces. Overall, the lack of organization, poor customer service, refusal to issue a refund after their mistake, and uncomfortable facility conditions made this a very disappointing experience. My family and I will not be returning, and I would encourage others to consider alternative karting venues.

But what we really loved was the VR latency experience, which was as such a cool alternative for anyone who didn't want to be on the track. It was awesome being able to offer something for everyone. The facility itself was very clean and well kept. Great vibe for a team event. We're also excited to come back once the bar is fully built out!

We had to wait a little while to get a lane so we went to the bar, grabbed a drink and a snack. We ordered mozzarella sticks. They were hot and crispy and served with a yummy dipping sauce. We headed to our lane about 20 minutes after arrival. This bowling alley was set up differently than any other I'd ever seen. There were a few steps down to bowl and the tables were behind each lane. There was no seating near the lane. I ordered a chicken quesadilla which was yummy. The chicken was in some type of sauce bursting with flavor. I also tried someone's chicken wing and it was hot and delicious. It was very loud which is to be expected, plus they had a small arcade. Our server was friendly but I think a little overwhelmed as we didn't see her as frequently as I would have liked. To sum it up, Bowlero was a nice bowling alley with decent food and lots of drink options.

One thing I really appreciated was the area reserved for kids three and under it's nice knowing the little ones have a safe space away from the bigger kids. Overall, we had a great experience.
