Came here with my significant other and honestly, the staff is what made this entire experience…read morewhat it was. Were all the games working? No. Did we run into a couple of issues? Absolutely. But somehow, every time we had a problem, someone was there ready to fix it like we had just activated the Bat-Signal. And they did it with a smile, even though it was VERY obvious they were running around like their lives depended on it. Trace, the Bar/Floor Manager, was clearly doing the work of approximately 47 people at once, and yet somehow still had time to be attentive, kind, and sociable with us. I genuinely don't know how he was doing it. Man was everywhere. Craig and Colton, the Floor Managers, were also fantastic. Every time we had a question or concern, they helped us without ever making us feel like we were interrupting their already chaotic Saturday night. And then Timothy, Trenton, and Austin were equally awesome! At this point, I'm convinced they don't actually hire employees here -- they recruit people who have an unusually high tolerance for chaos and an Olympic-level ability to remain cheerful. The funniest part is that the couple of issues we ran into were almost worth it because we got to interact with all of these guys, joke around, and laugh with them. They somehow managed to turn "well, this game isn't working" into "well, at least we're having a great time." That's customer service done RIGHT. And seriously, HUGE credit to all of them for keeping that kind of energy on a Saturday night. It was busy, and I'm sure a couple of things were going sideways, and I'm sure everyone was running on approximately 3% battery -- yet they were still friendly, patient, and genuinely fun to be around. Rock the eff on, dudes!! You guys deserve ALL the praise. Seriously. Give these men a raise, a trophy, a vacation, and maybe a medically supervised nap. Thank you again for everything!! You made the experience unforgettable, and we genuinely had a blast because of you guys!

Took my team here for team bonding, and bowled during the week. The place was very quiet and empty,…read morewe came in, and we helped right away by the attendant working the counter.

The nostalgia…read morethat hits you when you hear the sounds from all the games and the telltale "game over" music that cues you to enter your initials after a good round. Every time I felt excited to see a game and start playing, I would look over my shoulder to see another classic. I took photos of the ones that brought back strong memories of playing with my cousin at the bowling alley or the 7-Eleven, at the camp grounds and at the hotels, and even at the casinos when our parents were hitting the slots. $20 unlimited gaming is a steal for what you get here. I have no complaints. There are bathrooms in the back as well as a coat rack. There is plenty of space to feel comfortable taking your time. While there is no food, there are drinks available and they allow in and out privileges with your wristband. My wish would be that they find 720, the skateboarding game... Paperboy, and Crazy Taxi, and add them to the lineup. Also a few more shooters from the 90s, as those were quarter guzzlers that we could never finish with real money. I've been here twice and will be back again soon!

Completely Oversold and Ruined Our Family Day…read more We came to Astro Fun World on a rainy day, and unfortunately it was one of the most disappointing family outings we've had. The first warning sign should have been the 30+ people waiting just to purchase wristbands. With only one employee working the front counter, it took us about 20 minutes just to get inside. Looking back, we should have turned around right then. Once inside, it only got worse. Every attraction had an unbelievable wait. We started at the ropes course, where we stood in line for over an hour and a half with almost no movement. After 30 minutes, I sent my husband to take the kids to mini golf because it was obvious we weren't getting anywhere. Meanwhile, I stayed in line for another hour watching the go-kart line double in size while ours barely moved. The building was packed far beyond what it appeared to comfortably handle. The air conditioning couldn't keep up, making it hot, crowded, and miserable. Kids everywhere--not just mine--were becoming restless, crying, melting down, and asking to leave. Parents around us were frustrated and giving up after standing in line for long periods with no progress because their children simply couldn't take it anymore. What made it so disappointing wasn't just the long waits--it was the feeling that Astro Fun World continued admitting more and more guests without any regard for the experience of the people already inside. At some point, there has to be a balance between making sales and providing an enjoyable experience. Instead of spending quality time making memories with my family, we spent most of our visit standing in lines, sweating, calming disappointed children, and watching our day disappear. Family time is precious, and this outing was supposed to be fun. Instead, it left everyone frustrated, exhausted, and wanting to go home. I understand rainy days bring bigger crowds, but there should be better crowd control, staffing, and capacity limits. No family should spend the majority of their visit waiting in lines that barely move while continuing to watch more people pour through the doors. Sadly, this was a complete waste of time and money, and we won't be returning unless major changes are made.

It was a lot of fun, not very challenging but of course, our group made it competitive. After putting, we did the go-karts, which was also a lot of fun! Some of the guys' karts were slow, which was probably a good thing. They also have an arcade area, which was nice and cool since it was quite warm and muggy outside during the time we were there. The bathrooms were clean. We didn't try any of their food while there, but they had ice cream! Overall a good place to hang with a large group, good for families with kids, or adults that want to have fun like kids :D

I don't appreciate it how I was overlooked when the second group got there like I didn't even exist. After waiting we got to our lane and the scoreboard and keyboard didn't work. Go to Mardi Gras.

It gives you the option to choose between a lively atmosphere or something a bit more relaxed depending on the vibe you're looking for.

I was here on Good Friday since I had the day off. I made my gaming partner go early because those times were discounted and boy, am I glad I did! By the time our 90 minutes were up, the place was getting PACKED. It made my heart happy to see so many families doing something active and together! Like I stated before, I have been coming since it opened, and I appreciated in this visit that the instruction screens were updated, some of the rooms that we not working on my previous version were up and running again, etc. I also appreciate an upgrade to their reward system! Before, they used to hand you items (a water bottle, a basketball, etc.), but now you earn coins and can "spend" them on the items of your choice. I prefer that so I can pick items that I will actually use! (The aforementioned water bottle and basketball were donated to my local charity shop.) I chose a personal bracelet that Activate uses to track your time and points while you are actively participating in the games. The facilities have bathrooms, access to clean drinking water, free lockers to protect your belongings, etc. This time, too, I wore my fitness tracker for kicks and giggles and I burned almost 500 calories in 90 minutes of fun. I wish they offered a summer pass or a monthly pass like other entertainment options in the suburbs.

The…read more90 min session was not available but 60 min is more than enough to try all of the rooms at least once. After that, you can choose to go back to your favorite ones. There are free lockers to put your belongings as well as a free coat check. There are restrooms and a water fountain in the very back. There is a lounge area that is used for private parties but you can also just sit in there. You can watch other people play on the big screen. I recommend wearing casual or active attire because you'll get a workout for sure Each game room has a variety of levels and different types of games within that room. The cost per person is cheaper Mon - Thurs. $20.99 for 60 mins. $26.99 for 90 mins. Fri - Sun it's $26.99 for 60 mins and $38.99 for 90 mins. For Mondays and holidays, it's best to check back because the prices do change. I highly recommend booking on the website instead of blindly going there. The slots fill up fast. The games are short so you don't have to wait long to go into that room. The room types are arena, climb, grid, hoops, mega laser, hide, control, mega grid, strike, portals, and press. The staff were all friendly and helpful. There's no issue with finding parking.
