I've visited this arcade 4 times over the last year or so. Great arcade, the biggest in Southern…read moreIllinois from what I hear with nearly 100 different unique arcade/pinball machines. 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.

I used the Yelp app as I often do to find a place for lunch while in Effingham. Gopher Grill got…read moregreat reviews so we decided to try it. We decided to split an appetizer and a meal. The appetizer we decided on was German egg rolls. Absolutely delicious! For the meal we decided on the schnitzel sandwich and brussels sprouts. I could have made a meal out of the brussels sprouts which they roast in blood orange vinaigrette. For those who are interested there are several virtual sports simulators there. The service was good as well. Can't wait to go back!

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.

The bumper cars were in a tiny ring, so you could barely move around to hit anyone. The batting cages were fun, but their aim was a little off. Not a big deal. The food was good and we had a lot of fun in the arcade. We didn't do the mini golf because of the heat, but it looked fun!

As adults, most of us are trying to run away from our past, yet at America's Groove you can't help…read morebut run towards it. 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.

You can definitely find some great deals with a little searching. We walked out with albums, tapes, and a sweatshirt.

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.

He saw I had a bunch of kids, and cut our pizzas into sixteenths. That may sound silly, but I appreciated that. He did that without me asking. And even though he was the only one available at times, he did his best to make sure my kids could do the attractions when they wanted. So, special shoutout to Billy! I just appreciated his friendliness and thoughtfulness. AWESOME place! My boys had an absolute blast here, and it has something for everyone from the littles to the bigs. Lots and lots of attractions from an "American Ninja" course, to slides, basketball, laser course, climbing wall, zip lines, trampolines, giant enclosed play area, toddler play area, and more! The prices are excellent as well. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!

I live in Springfield Illinois and the small community of Chatham just south of us suffered an…read moreunimaginable tragedy last week when a driver suffered a seizure and drove through a popular after school program killing an 18 year old an 8 year old and two 7 year old girls and causing injuries, some severe, to many others. The community, and all the surrounding communities came together to try to ease the unimaginable pain from this terrible event. The local Skyzone stepped up and provided a day of support for the children of Chatham. The community was touched by the gesture. Several $1000 was spent for the use of the space and for pizzas and other items. It is now being reported that the manager of that location was fired for this wonderful gift to a community of children who lost friends, siblings, family. Many of whom were in the building and witnessed the horrific aftermath. The remaining employees have put in their 2 weeks notice in support of the manager. Skyzone does not deserve your money and clearly has no sense of right and wrong, nor do they care about children. Our entire community is now boycotting them and hope to see it spread across the country In honor of these four girls and all those left heartbroken.
