    We were here for our first time with my family of ten with three elementary school children for some entertainment and games. The place is huge with lots of entertainment and games including baseball batting cages, driving games and other types of games for a wide range for both children and adults. They even have a Zoltar machine. They offer some food, but no alcohol. I purchased a $100 game card for my family of ten to share during our stay here. I did not play any games, but my $100 game card was used up quickly because of the children and their parents. I recommend this place if you have elementary school children or someone who wants to practice their baseball batting techniques in batting cages.

    It's expensive yes. That's expected. You're in Paramus. The location is clean and large. There were lots of people there for a Monday after school but we weren't squished. I was able to play games without waiting. We spent $125.00 in about 1 hour lol but I needed the quick adrenaline rush since I just went through surgery and was pretty down. We won so many plushies, it was quite satisfying. It'll probably not happen again, but that moment made it all worth it. The staff is super friendly and there so much more to do and I look forward to coming back again.

    So fun! Batting cages, connect 4 basketball, rope climb were my favorites. My friend won a jigglypuff plushie. Kind staff and same games as a dave & busters but i feel its cheaper here price wise overall. Photo booth uses the card for games too which is nice!

    My son had a great time! We went on a holiday Monday and it was not to busy so there was no wait for bowling. Bowling cost 70$ and it was 6 of us so it wasn't bad at all split. Need to come back to try the arcade games and batting cages.

    Decoration

    Celebrated my daughter's 5th birthday yesterday in Humdingers. We booked Bowltastic as it seemed enjoyable for the kids, we booked a little less than 2 weeks for 3:30pm and were told we can get there at 3pm if we want to decorate. It included bowling and arcade. We arrived at 3:05, coming in we were greeted by Jennie who was amazing throughout the entire time with us. She took our bags and walked us to a waiting area as our party room was still being cleaned. Around 3:20 I was allowed to go to the party area which was a big room with panel room divider for 4 separate parties. As you can see in the picture people from other parties would be standing by your space. Which you hear everyone screaming, singing and talking. As I started decorating some staff came around asking if I needed any help, one staff member helped out finishing 4 party boxes souvenirs, also amazing but forgot to catch her name. When I was done staff members would come around complimenting the decorations. One specific staff member comes in very rudely stating you cannot hang anything on the wall. I apologized and stated I was never advised and other staff members came in and out and never mentioned it. I used 1 command strip for the balloon arc and a staff member used regular tape to put up the #5 balloon. By the end of the party Sarah (who we later found out is the party manager as she never introduced herself) blamed me for painting chipped from the corner of the wall which was not caused by me as I had not even taken the command strip off which was in the center of the wall. She's just rude. When it was time to pay we expressed how the party was rushed for kids. We were told the day of that it's 35 minutes of bowling, 35 minutes of arcade starting from 3:30pm. Sarahs response was "sorry you feel that way but if I'm not mistaken you booked your party less than 2 weeks. If you wanted more time you should have booked the adult party". EXCUSE ME. You still took my reservation and my money was still green when it was time to pay regardless of 2 weeks or not. I declined to tip on my card which her response was "so you don't want to tip my staff"...which I always tip in cash and had already tipped them. The party actually started at 3:45pm. Rushed them through bowling. For the arcade the card provided to the kids would say how much time they have left to play. All the kids had between 10-12 minutes left on their cards when Lillie called them all up to go back to the room. They were upset as they didn't get to play the entire 35minutes, even parents complained to me. The food was good. The sodas tasted very weird kids nor the adults would finish a cup. The BYOB option was great. At one point Sarah storms into the party grabs a bottles and loudly says "you cannot have this here we do not accept it. You have to check it in". A bottle of Manischewitz (Concord Grape Wine). She reads it to then notice its wine, puts it down and walked away stating "I never seen a bottle of wine like that". For the most part the kids enjoyed themselves. As for upper management Sarah, extremely rude and does not deserve that position as a party manager and I speak from a catering business owner perspective. Other parents witnessed her behavior and stated "I would never book a party here if I have to deal with her." We had planned on staying and giving each kid $50 to spend on the arcade but the distasteful behavior from Sarah made us move our party to a different establishment. Also having party rooms directly in front of the bathroom is the worst idea ever. The smell would come into to our space. Very disgusting.

    The place was great for the older kiddos (not much to do with the toddler but toddler still had fun watching the older kids) and I came on here to leave a food review because I saw negative food reviews so I chose to just order 3 items for my kids: the seasoned fries, mozzarella sticks, and boneless buffalo wings. All were pretty decent for being fast/bar food.

    Super dope spot for date night, or friends night. The game options were amazing! From batting cages to fun games for all ages, there is even a bowling alley! On top of it all it's BYOB. Food options were pretty good, decent prices. Some of the games were malfunctioning but they refunded you the money back if the game presents with a malfunction which I think it's pretty cool.

    Attended this place with a group of 20 plus. We did the group package #1 that consisted of 1 hour of bowling with rental shoes included, $15 arcade card, 2 slices of pizzas and a soft drink for $28/per person peak price. The entire party did not have to be present for the party package to begin. As guests arrived they were added to the lanes and the games continued. Approaching the one hour mark, a worker came over to give us a heads up that our time was almost up and our food would be served shortly. We were then guided to a designated area as our pizza and drinks were served and ready to eat. Pizza was good! At this point we received our arcade cards and got to enjoy a handful of games such as air hockey, Mario karts, basketball and skee-bowl. There was a few other groups with their byob buckets bowling and batting. Looking forward to returning and trying that experience. The floor layout is clever as you have access to many things for entertainment and eating. Parking was a breeze with the lot located steps away. On your way out don't forget to redeem your tickets on the self service prize machine. You can also save those tickets and return for bigger prizes.

The 18-hole miniature is dimly lit with a horror resemblance of night and gloom. While you are working on your putts, admire the neat Halloween decorations while listening to club music. It would have fit better into the scenery if only Halloween music was played, but the tunes are still enjoyable. Whether or not you are an experienced miniature golf does not bear any significance as the primary goal is to have a great time! In addition to the golf course, a variety of arcade machines and carnival style games are available. Although the graphics are detailed and entertaining, the cost per game is costly and the playing time does not last long. If you have an hourish to spare, I would highly recommend exploring this golf course. It is family oriented and geared for all age groups. As a bonus, there is an axe throwing range conveniently located next door if you need another hour of recreation. #monsterminigolf #halloween #paramusnj #monsterminigolfparamus

Once we were checked in, we were given a locker to store our belongings, which was convenient. The only thing I didn't like--and was a bit disappointed by--was that I had to seek someone out to let them know it was our first time so they could explain how to utilize the rooms, gain access, and understand exactly what needed to be done. A brief intro or automatic walkthrough for first-timers would have made the experience smoother. That said, the games themselves were extremely fun. Some were a bit complicated at first, but I loved that you can either verse the person you're with or work together as a team, which made it perfect for a date. Overall, a fun and unique experience with just a little room for improvement on first-time guidance.

I suggest coming on a weekday if you do not want to wait a minute or two for each game! You have 45 minutes for unlimited game access, with about 9-10 games to choose from. Each game only lasts 2-4 minutes tho, depending on the game. When entering, they provide a locker for any bags or items you want to place. They give you two wristbands (one for game access and the other for a locker of your belongings). The staff was so friendly. I was running out of breath and trying to rush to get our last game in and he told me to relax and have fun! The staff also takes the time to explain each game in the beginning and although it was busy, they definitely made the experience so much more fun. Some of the games are a bit complicated, and hard to understand even after the game explains it to you! My favorite was the grid. Me and my boyfriend made a tiktok about activate and it went viral! At the end, you can redeem your points earned for a prize. Me and my boyfriend got the keychain that also provides 10% off your next visit within the next 30 days. Definitely can NOT wait to come again!

The staff walks you through the whole process, gets you geared up with the VR equipment, and explains how the game works before you jump in.

Way more realistic than regular VR. Felt like I was fighting for my life. I went with a group of 5 and we had a great time. It definitely brings out everyone's competitive side.

When we arrived we found that we were the only ones there besides the workers, but honestly, we didn't mind being among the first players to arrive (it made us feel like VIPs.) After signing in, a staff member took us aside and began positioning sensors on both our wrists and ankles. He then began to provide more details about VR. The young man who assisted us was professional, well-organized, and communicated all instructions efficiently. He gradually began to place our headsets on and we were off to explore this new world. It did take a few minutes to adjust to everything that we were seeing. This experience was thrilling and quite intense. Lots of ducking, shooting, and occasional screaming, which made for a delightful afternoon of fun. One thing I would suggest is making sure all equipment works beforehand. Unfortunately, my gun wasn't working in the very beginning, and there were times when we experienced technical difficulties during our game, and had to ask for assistance. Of course, this can dampen the experience because it interrupts the flow of the game, but we had a blast nonetheless. Be advised, you will work up a sweat, so wear appropriate clothing- nothing tight, heavy, or that can restrict movement! This was a fantastic date with my love and we can't wait to come back and try more VR games with our family and friends.

Very decent prices for pool. The more players you bring, the lower the price, so with 4 of us, it was about $7 pp/hour. I can't wait to come back!
