My niece had a panic attack on Gravity. The associates Christian, Jonathan, Erika, Zairion, and Peggy took a gentle and structured approach with her. She is special needs and they intuitively performed their duties to help her through a frightening situation. Even going above and beyond, they allowed their mother back up to help support her daughter and her decent. These employees can be trusted to ensure the safety of your child as they embark on the exciting and sometimes frightening events like Gravity. The family wishes they could do more to show our appreciation. read more

I love it here! I've been here two times. Once for my birthday last year with family friends, and the same with New Years Eve. I haven't been since Covid-19, but I would love to go again! read more

Great place to spend the afternoon with the kiddo. They are always running specials to make it affordable to spend the day bowling, playing laser tag and doing the ropes course. Don't forget to play some pool and shuffleboard too! If you're eating too, they have specials that include the video games. Super clean and the staff is very attentive! read more

Very clean, love the lighting... those are the pluses. So expensive, the food is expensive and just food you would get at an amusement park. Laser tag was closed, the arcade games are not included with the fun pass. As an adult I enjoy the bowling, but my daughter didn't want to bowl she wanted the over priced games. I was disappointed. I can go to Dave and Busters on a Wednesday for half price games. read more

I've always gone to Dave-n-Busters and never knew they had competition until I came here. Just like DNB, it's a expensive but they are more geared towards children. I also ate here but never have at DNB so I can't compare, but the food is ehhh. My sister got a salad that looked pretty good while my steak was ehhhh. It's not a bad alternative to DNB if you want a different atmosphere. The pricing is different and the prizes reflect that. It's more tickets for prizes but I think playing the games is a bit cheaper? read more

I visited this place with my 2 teenage nieces and sister and we all had a great time. Like Dave & Busters you have to purchase a game card that you swipe to play. Games are priced between $1.25 to $3.50 so my $25 card did not get me far. BTW The VR rabbit game is a must play! Games were fun, food was delish and my margarita was surprisingly strong. If I didn't live so far from this place I'd visit again. read more

This place is great for kids! During spring break the ropes course was not open during the day. But it was still a great time!

Main Event is conveniently located off I-90 in between Nagel Road and Route 83. It is next to Cabela's on Chester Road. Parking is plentiful, as there is a large lot right on site. If it gets very busy, parking at Cabela's is also available and is a short walk away. Main Event features 2 restaurants with a variety of options. First, there is a small Italian "street food" restaurant with gelato, drinks, snacks, and typical Italian fare. Additionally, there is a large restaurant similar to a Buffalo Wild Wings. This restaurant features a menu with burgers, wings, salads, and a selection of alcoholic beverages. I wish there were more options for vegans and vegetarians (veggie burger, etc.). There is bar seating, hightop tables, and booths available. There are plenty of large TV's, so I envision the restaurant being busy during the NFL season. As far as the attractions, Main Event features a large bowling alley, a ropes course, and a medium-sized arcade. The bowling alley is nice, but is a little pricey compared to a more traditional style alley. The ropes course is clean and has great variety, and even features a zip-line that does not require a worker! The arcade is nice, and has a good variety of games for families and enthusiasts. Overall, Main Event is a good little spot. The open concept design, variety of the attractions, and (mostly) friendly staff made our experience quite good. The hours are great, and the building is new and clean. Be sure to come on Mondays for a great deal! read more

Can't say enough good things about this place. Went here with family and the kids had a blast. Every employee we encountered was so friendly and helpful and willing to help resolve any issues (e.g. lost game card). The games were fun - kids were able to win more than enough tickets to redeem for their favorite prizes. We also enjoyed bowling, laser tag and the food was tasty and convenient. By far one of the best arcade experiences we've had in a long time. read more

I was here for a bachelorette party back in July. They hadn't been open long but everyone was super nice! We didn't do everything there though so I can't comment on everything. But, the bartender was so nice, especially to the bride to be. The workers and planners were fantastic and even danced with us in the middle of the floor! We did the bowling which was really fun! Overall, everyone was super nice & helpful through our whole night there! read more

Love the service! So nice and very non uncomfortable to be around. GREAT game selection and even better energy. 10/10 read more

Main Event Avon - Football game - Arcades Near Me - Avon, Ohio

This place is an absolute joke. Music blaring in the parking lot, food not fit for a dog and slow moving lines for the bowling. Save your money and go somewhere else for entertainment. This crappy place will be out of business soon. read more

This is not a well ran place. Went there for a family outing before dinner. We had about 3.5 hours to spend their before our dinner reservations. We paid for the do it all passes which was a mistake. When we got there and purchased the passes we asked to be put on the list for bowling. Was told it would be about an hour wait, no big deal, after all we had 3.5 hours. 2 hours later we were still waiting. When we asked about the wait we were told it would be another 45 min to hour wait. So the original hour wait is now up to 3 hours with no end in sight. Do NOT go to this place if you want to bowl and there is any kind of crowd there. I spent a small fortune on video games trying to keep my 6 year old occupied for hours waiting. We left without bowling and will never return. read more

Extremely frustrating they close down for an entire day for a private party. When you buy gift cards to have a great Sunday with your kids but without warning see they are closed. Glad there's a better competitor just down the road in Westlake. read more

Fun place! Games were entertaining, and the kids had a fantastic time. I can't help but feel like the front desk team actively tried to confuse me into putting more cash on the game card - which was off-putting. read more

BEWARE! This place is a scam! We had a party of 11 for bowling. They told us we could pay $7 per person for unlimited bowling. After an hour our lanes shit off before we were even done with one game. They told us we have to give up the lane to someone else and get in a waiting list. That doesn't sound unlimited to me. This was never explained when we paid. Tried talking to kids at front desk and they were like....sorry! Never going back! read more

At a glance, this place seems incredible. Arcade, bowling, laser tag, and a nice bar to tie to all together for the adults. Once you're inside, you are quickly exposed to the extremely poor management that runs this place. The package deals that include various amenities aren't what they seem, and the managers are very quick to blame their employees for giving false information rather than acknowledging a miscommunication and correcting it accordingly. On the other hand, every single member of the wait staff that my party encountered were very professional and helpful. From our server at the bar, to our server at the bowling alley, and even the gentleman that showed us back to our lane, they were all wonderful. It was only when we had to interact with the management that our experience went south. My party experienced a minor issue with how the perks of our day passes were communicated to us and the management treated the situation as more of a battle over language rather than a discussion about our miscommunication. It was severely unprofessional and a major deterrent from coming back to this place. As great as this place seems and as great as the wait staff are, the sour experience we had with the management will cause us to definitely not consider this place in the future. read more

This place has potential...however, the prices are outrageous. There's a closer "family entertainment center" to us in Brunswick, but we wanted to try this place out. Games that cost a buck by us cost at least $1.50 here to play each. It adds up. You could also go to Dave and Buster's down the road for games for a cheaper price. Finally...I took my 5 year old for laser tag at numerous places. She really wanted to try it here....but there's a 48 inch minimum here. She was highly disappointed. I'd come back for a special...but there's not enough here for the price. read more

Very fun place but the seat yourself ( first come for serve ) set up for the restaurant is it very accommodating . Also the wait for a bowling lane is crazy read more

Terrible service the entire time, waiting in line for bowling and get to the counter to find out that we are at the wrong line to wait for bowling. Instead of the helping they just dismissed us and sent us to wait in another line. Even when we reserved online it advised us to arrive early. This was extremely frustrating with three small kids. Will not be going back. read more

I came here to play laser tag with friends and one of the workers was EXTREMELY rude to us. She seemed around my age 16/17 years old. She told us that we couldn't run or roll on the ground and if we even came close to walking fast she kicked us out, on top of that it was $9 for one time! I was super disappointed in the experience and I wish I could've used my money differently. Also the girl who worked our laser tag really ruined the night even more with her rude attitude. read more

We scheduled a corporate event at Main Event for a party of 25. Great choice! We paid to have it catered, the food was great. It was a Mexican themed buffet. Everyone had an amazing time and I can't wait to take my family back. For those sports fans you will love it, because they have large screen televisions over the lanes, so you can watch games or sports center as you are bowling. You start off by entering your team names using a touchscreen kiosk and then you are prompted to take several pictures in varying poses, which I didn't understand at first. However, it ended up being one of my favorite parts of this experience. Once you start bowling funny cartoons pop up on the score screen with everyone's faces on the bodies, it's hysterical! There is an entire area of video games, including some old school game too. Had a wonderful time, will for sure go back. read more

This is a great place to bring the kids for their deals not for half time and steals way overpriced

i walked into this place for the first time ever and it was terrible service. the worker at the counter was not nice, was not welcoming. didn't even crack a smile at us. he then proceeded to try to get us to pay $50 for bowling with a waiting list that would push us to the time they would close bowling. i then went to the bar and the girl server was very rude. she lied about the fact my id wasn't accepted here. her drinks absolutely sucked, but not as bad as her customer service. do any of these workers know how to smile? as a first time customer, this was absolutely terrible and i won't be returning. overpriced with bad customer service. very saddening. 0/10 in my experience of being here for 10 mins lol read more

Made a quick visit with my 8 year-old to check this place out on a Tuesday evening around dinner. Place was pretty quiet, and the bartender confirmed that it's been slow up to this point. Well, good for us, as we were able to play a few video games without having to wait. Cool selection of games to choose from; basically, a smaller version of Dave and Busters. We did not try the Laser Tag, but will on the next trip. Food is basically pub grub, with a few nicer options. Didn't eat as we just came for some gaming. Will be back to try what we missed on this visit. read more

Ate here for a birthday. They're severely under staffed. They had the one bar tender serving a busy bar and all the many tables. You couldn't get someone if you wanted. read more

Waited over twenty minutes for three soft drinks, appetizer was brought out before drinks and it was only like warm. Appetizer was brought by manager and she didn't even apologize, all she said was I'll get your drinks. But instead the server finally showed up and never said I'm sorry instead she said I'm trying. Then neither ever showed up again so I paid at table and left to eat somewhere else. Won't be returning anytime soon read more

Great place to take your 13 year old and a few of his buddies for a birthday. The Monday night deal for unlimited bowling, laser tag and gravity ropes for $10.95 is great! Also, Erin provided great customer service for us to ensure a great night by all! read more

45 minutes and still waiting for our food to come out the kitchen. Seriously!! The excuse is only one cook. On a Sunday afternoon. I wouldn't recommend it. read more

Def has fun and lots to do but I felt the price was a bit ridiculous for bowling and not everyone can go on their specials day most people work read more

I have had more attentive service at the North Ridgeville post office. Bartender would just wander off, waitress would go mising in action and we were only at 1 of 4 tables occupied. I orderd a cobb salad, normally the chicken is warm, it was cold and nasty. Bought the game only passes for my kids, and was told they would work on all games. Only to find out something else later- only rainbow marked games. read more

Really fun date night place. For $33, you get $30 in arcade game credit and a dinner. So pretty good deal. Bowling, laser tag, zip line are extra but still fun. There's a few choices of food but in general it's bar food we had wings and a burger and they were good. It was crowded on Saturday night but overall nothing oceewhelming. Some of the games were not functioning but overall a good time! Would be great for a work get together or party. Will be back for sure! read more

Wow this place is fun! Drinks, laser tag, bowling, arcade games! Was very excited to come here. Wait staff was great, food and beverage typical bar food. This review gets a 3/5 because management here still has a few things to learn. You can buy a 30$ 'eat bowl play' pass that includes "unlimited" bowling, laser tag, and an hour of game play in the arcade. Our experience here was great until we waited two hours to bowl, and were told after one hour that our "unlimited" session was over. The manager was not accommodating, and then blamed the mistake on a fellow employee. It's sad that the customer IS NOT always right. We were told that bowling was easily renewed once you had a lane. My brother also broke his tooth in laser tag and they did nothing about it. Very turned off by my experience here and feeling very fooled by false advertisement. Won't be back, try Dave and busters for a better time. If you check all of my previous reviews, I only get on here to review AMAZING businesses with IMPRESSIVE staff. But you can't forget a bad experience, and this was one of them. read more

I wish I could give negative stars because this place sucks. Food selection minimal, terrible service and nothing as advertised! They don't have a lot of the activities they advertise and it's waaaaayyyyy overpriced! $36 per hour for bowling PLUS $4.95 per person shoe rental? That is ridiculous. We could go to any other bowling alley and get a better deal. And the arcade games are $1-$4 per person per game. Go to Dave and Busters in Westlake. Go to 16bit in Lakewood. Hell if it's summer go to Cedar Point! It's probably still cheaper than an evening here. read more

Put us on a waitlist for more time, asked us to leave for no reason, don't come, worst birthday

Very poor service.arrived at 615 and ordered food, did not arrive until 805. Kids had to wait 2 hr for ropes course and only had 20 minutes time on it. No apologies, manager unavailable. No comps. Will not return soon. read more

The place is really fun coming from a 12 year old they have Lazer tag and bowling my only complaint is that the food is not that good and very overpriced so I recommend eating somewhere else then here . read more

Two stars for cleanliness and fun games, which I've seen at other entertainment facilities. When it takes you a half hour at the front desk to learn how everything works, you know it's a scam. And after that half hour information was still left out (you have to have scheduled times for obstacle course and laser tag). Played with a free half hour card for signing up for email alerts. They don't let you earn tickets with the free half hour so at that point you are teasing your kids. You signed up for bowling but the wait is 1-2 hours. After said wait time, went up to desk to see how it's going and was told, "I told you wait time is 3-3 1/2 hours." No you didn't. If that was the case, we would have left immediately. Manager was nice, but other than that, if I ever saw a business running as a scam, Main Event would be it. I thought Dave and Busters' pricing was steep, but left this place deciding it is a far better option without the stress. read more

If I could leave a half star I would. We had our sons 8th bday party here this weekend. After repeated reassurances from the party planner that their staff would be in complete control of the party, we told all the parents it was a drop off party. Luckily for us not all the parents left bc the 1 staff member that was provided for all the kids had no control over the party. We served the kids their pizza. By the time the kids finally got their drinks they were all done eating. Then we and the parents that stayed had to cut and serve the cake while the staff member stood and watched. The final straw was when the "party host" took the kids over to the ropes course AND LEFT THEM THERE TO STAND IN LINE BY THEMSELVES!!!! After we left we called to file a formal complaint about how our party was handled and the GM was as rude as could be on the phone. And is offering a $100 gift card to go back for our troubles. Our party cost over $400 and you want to give us a $100 gift card . We don't want to come back to that place. We want our money back for the party. It was an absolute disaster and it was absolutely embarrassing to have other parents see such a poorly handled party. The bday boy even said when we left "We should have just gone to Dave and Busters" So thank you for the $100 gift card to come back to an establishment we will never step foot in again to make up for a ruined 8th bday party and a wasted $400+ read more

The service was terrible! Had to wait for stuck bowling balls for far too long on several occasions. The service at the Bar was slow and only 4 people at it. Ordered a dessert at the lanes via the kiosk. May as well have ordered dinner it took just as long. read more
