Our favorite games are the laser maze and the grid rooms. Seriously what a fun way to be active with your friends. Definitely channels some squid game vibes with the hide and seek game. I would explain more but honestly if you are curious and it looks fun to you... give it a shot! Definitely wear comfy workout clothes and bring a water bottle. They give you a free locker to store things in too. Don't miss out on the photo room for a silly and fun memory moment!

Activate consists of several mini game rooms where you can play many different games of varying difficulty. It's fun, competitive, and great for large groups. You will be getting a workout, so be prepared to sweat. The games are fun and challenging, even for adults. The point system is a little confusing. My fiance and I did the same number of games, he came in 1st place at multiple, but I somehow came out with more points than him. But overall, the concept is great and I will definitely be returning!

TL;DR: The win rate on the machines seems to have gone down significantly, and more than half of…read morethe machines now seem to offer items in blind bags, which are close to impossible for claws or kids to grab compared to plushies and other items. The value-to-experience ratio just isn't what it used to be. We've come to Top Canvas multiple times before and always had a great experience. We've even recommended it to friends. They still have a really wide variety of machines, but unfortunately, the experience and service seem to have gone downhill. In the past, the workers were incredibly attentive and would help our daughter and her friends rearrange items to make them easier to grab. They weren't just giving things away for free, but they made sure the kids had a reasonable chance of actually winning something. The win rate on the machines was also relatively high, and the prizes were generally easy enough for kids to grab. It was a great, albeit slightly expensive, value. Our most recent visit was very different. The machines had a close-to-zero win rate, and even when a worker rearranged a couple of items for us, they basically just tossed them around in the container and walked away. They didn't actually make them any easier for a small child to grab. We left with one small item, and while we completely understand that winning isn't guaranteed (that's the nature of these games) that's not really what made Top Canvas great in the past. What made it stand out was that it felt accessible and fun for young kids. Unfortunately, that no longer seems to be the case.

It's set up to host events so if you wanna commission your own event you have all that you need here. There are competitions which can be very fun and a learning experience. They take seriousness with administration, providing a fair race for all and you are driving "with equal machinery" It's also a great experience for people who never tried driving a race car or are kind of unsure about going go karting. This is a slightly step up from that as you're learning, different sports cars and race cars. You can have the option of choosing certain cars and tracks if you're a veteran looking to practice times with a close enough set up to your car if you do hot laps If you get the premium membership that they offer you could do Iracing but you need to pay for your own membership for that separately so that you can access it but if you just want to do nice half hour or more drive that's also good as well

World of Racing Tuscan is one of four locations available in the contiguous United States, offering…read moreprofessional grade racing simulation set ups for the community to enjoy. We came to celebrate for my partners birthday and was able to walk in fairly easily on a Saturday afternoon. I never experienced anything like this before, and comparing it to Mario Kart would be a disservice to the equipment available at this venue. The physics are realistic, and the specs/riding experience can be tailored to real-life cars. Be aware that turning off track or spinning out of control can cause the wheel to spin vigorously so I would say this isn't meant for younger kids. It made me really appreciate car racing more because it's another level of precision and control needed to make sharp turns while maintaining as much speed as possible. This whole experience had me gripping the steering wheel with exhilaration the whole hour of racing. 10/10 and despite being notoriously bad tolerating virtual simulations due to motion sickness, I was perfectly fine doing the esport simulation.

Beware Bigfoot!!

We went for the Neon Splatter Paint experience. Our original reservation was a week earlier, but…read morethey had run out of neon paint, so we had to rebook for the following week. We paid an additional $25 each to throw darts at paint balloons, but instead, we received reusable paint balls that we had to fill with water and a bit of neon paint ourselves. Considering we paid $50 for the additional experience, you'd think they would provide more paint. Since the paint balls were mostly water, the experience was not what was advertised. Overall, there was a lack of ownership over our experience at Tustin Brainy Actz. They were not prepared to receive us on either occasion. I do not recommend their paint experience, as I felt there was a lot of false advertising. They also do not provide goggles or shoe covers as mentioned on their official site, only a poncho.

Most of the items are from Japan and they have stuff I had not seen before. They had a little Toto lighter which I loved as I have a Toto at home (it is a toilet, made in Japan and has a washlet.) They also have stickers and tee shirts and hats, they have lots of hats. I bought one for my son in law. The prices are fair for the area. We really did love the service. It is not a place I would go to often, but it is adorable and worth a visit. We had a great time there, just looking at all the stuff. It was not at all busy when we were there and check out was super easy. So, if you are nearby stop there. It is not a must see, but it is cute.

What a fun and therapeutic experience! I love candles and thought it would be fun to create my own…read morecustom candles. I loved the experience from beginning to end. You get to start off with choosing your own jar. From there, there's a bunch of scents that you get to pick from to start creating your own custom blend. The recommended is 3-4. The ladies working were so incredibly nice and helpful with giving guidance on which scents they thought would go well together when I couldn't decide. Once you've selected your scents, you get suggested measurements depending on which scents you want to be the top, middle or base note. And then you pour the oil into the wax. After that, I liked that you can choose what color you want the wax to be, and can even add shimmers. Once done, you can either wait 45-50 minutes til they're cooled to pick up or you can come back another day. I loved the way mine looks, and will be coming back for their perfume making class! Update: I lit both of the candles I made. One smelled more like candle wax than the oils I put in.. almost like a scented crayon. The other one smells better but it's very light. I would say both of them don't have a lot of throw. Still a fun experience overall but a bit of a bummer about the end product.

What a creative way to spend the afternoon!…read more I was part of a Turkish mosaic lamp class hosted at Art Masterclass. First off - it's definitely harder to make them than it seems. lol If you have option paralysis or get overwhelmed easily, prepare yourself! Look at alllllll the colors in my photos available to use and maybe plan ahead. They provide templates of different floral, geometric, and banded designs that you can use, but you can go off-script if your noggin comes up with an idea! They give you a decent amount of time to create a design, glue said design in place, and then fill the rest of your lamp's empty space in with the tiny glass beads. There are a few final steps you can't complete while in "class" but that's due to the glue needing time to sit. You're not left in the dark however, as they show you a how-to video which is included in your take-home kit via a QR code. =) I noticed this place has other classes that seem like fun (terrarium and some sort of small dish painting?). I may need to return. Notes: - You interact with glue so you'll likely get messy. - There's a restroom to wash your hands, or if nature calls. - In the small bead fill-in time frame, everyone drops them. It's human. It became part of the experience. Aim for your tray!

Mission Control is a BLAST! It's a not-so-hidden gem on the second floor of a market in DTSA, which…read moreis the perfect way to spend the evening after walking around and eating in the area. There's a variety of pinball machines and classic old school arcade games to choose from (as well as some new machines which were recently added). You can exchange cash for tokens and all the games are reasonably priced, either 2 tokens (50¢) or 4 tokens ($1). They've got a DJ bumping live music to set the mood, a couple bartenders dishing out fun themed drinks, and there's even a dance floor with a disco ball if you feel like getting down. It's got a little something for everybody, even if you're bad at the games you can still have fun with friends, on a date, or even on your own! HIGHLY recommend you check this place out, it's a guaranteed good time that isn't expensive which is rare nowadays!!

I hadn't been to Mission Control in about two years, so I was really looking forward to going back…read more Unfortunately, it just wasn't the same experience I remembered. There used to be an area with around a dozen pinball machines, but that area was completely bare this time. There were still pinball machines along another wall, but I remember them being in both areas, so it felt like there were quite a few fewer machines overall. A few of the other games weren't working either, including the air hockey and basketball games. I also noticed there wasn't a DJ that night. That may have been something that simply wasn't scheduled for that evening, so I'm not going to hold that against the place. I'm just mentioning what I experienced. I did get to play Galaga, which was fun, but I was hoping to play Centipede and it wasn't there that night. I ended up playing only two games before heading downstairs to the tiki bar. Maybe it was just an off night, and I may have caught Mission Control at a bad time. I just remember it being a much more lively and fun arcade the last time I was there. I was disappointed because I had really been looking forward to coming back. I hope it was just an off night, because I'd like to see it get back to the place I remember.
