    This night was a special night for a few reasons, but the most important thing is to do what you really love and enjoy. Add a little kid I love skating and watching adult skate in the streets and I wanted to do that but I always have protective parents so we were only allowed to ride on the street never in the street. A few years ago, I had a surgery on my knee due to a torn meniscus, and I have been desiring to go skating, but life has taken a course where I never made time however, this valentines, and anniversary weekend we decided to go skating. I had such a blast and I realize I really enjoy skating. Although there was a little discomfort in my leg from all the work of going around till midnight on adult night, which is Tuesday and Saturday nights from 9 to 12 PM and it was about $33 for two people with skate rentals. I brought my own skates however the skates that they have are quite nice for rent. I had o much fun watching everyone just smile and enjoy themselves. The staff was quite friendly, the DJ got better as the night got later, and we didn't get a chance to explore the whole new side. We are definitely looking forward to going back again with some other adult friends and experience the whole facility.

    Bar seating area

    Pins & Wheels was a really versatile spot that worked well for both adults and kids. There's a skating rink, bowling lanes, a bar for drinks, an arcade, a toddler play area for the little ones, and food all in one place. It made it a very practical choice for a group where everyone wanted to do something different. We went for a birthday party and had a great time. The arcade is medium sized but still has enough variety to keep the kids entertained. The skating rink is spacious, so you're not constantly bumping into people. We also tried the pizza and it hit the spot while we were there. Overall, it's an easy, family friendly place to go when you want something that works for both adults and children and keeps everyone busy. Definitely a solid option for a fun outing.

    I highly recommend this place for a fun date or play date with the kiddos. We had such a great time, staff was friendly, gave us clear instructions and were very helpful on our first time here. You can bring your own skates if you have, if not you can rent them. I came here for the balloon drop on New Year's and what an experience, my group was 8 people and some out of state so it was quiet a great time we had.

    Espresso Martini  and Nacho supreme

    My husband and I went on a date on a Sunday. It was so fun. It seems like they've expanded from the las time I was here. They have an arcade, roller skate ring, a section to sit down and dine, and much more. I had the espresso martini and a Pete's Paloma, they were both so good. The supreme Nachos were perfect to share. It's very kid friendly and perfect for a date night as well.

    Arcade games, including redeem-type games.

    Pro Tip: Start with the VR game, followed by one of the non-arcade games (such as axe-throwing, bowling, or roller skating) and then wrap up your experience with arcade games. The idea, here, is variety. If you're simply looking to bowl, might be better to go elsewhere; however, if you're looking to go skating, this place can still work. (See attached photo for prices) I'll admit it, I probably wouldn't have found myself here on my own. Thanks to Yelp Austin for inviting me, and for the nomination. 20-year family owned Austin staple, with a newly renovated (and expanded) space. This was a stress-night for the staff and, overall, I do think they did pretty well managing the larger crowd. Sure, the bar got backed up for an extended time, but I can't imagine the demand will be as strong in a window of time on a regular night. I do think, however, that staff could've had welcome drinks prepared in larger quantities. Banco, at the VR station, was highly engaged and committed to interacting with us guests. He even pumped us up and cheered us on as we tried to safe ourselves from the "lava"! The food, however, was not as marketed - "Chef-inspired". I'd describe it as, 90's kid's party munchies. Don't expect the best pizza, tacos or chicken wings you've ever had; instead, look forward to a night of fun and nostalgia with the added benefit of munchies if you need it. The cocktails looked pretty exquisite, but on the sugary side, and the beer selection was actually unexpectedly decent. They had Electric Jellyfish (cheaper than what you'd pay at an Austin FC game). It does seem like Pins & Wheels Playland has a bit of an identity crisis, however, variety can be celebrated. Have fun!

    Playland is now Pins & Wheels and the updates are amazing, exactly what I expected when I heard they were renovating. It has a nice fresh and modern feel while still keeping some nostalgia. We went today for their Noon Years Eve event and the 2pm balloon drop. They opened at noon, we arrived at 12:15 and the line was out the door. It moved quickly though as they had ample staff which was a change from our past visits. They had maybe 4 lines to get checked in which was great compared to the old school way of one person at the window. You do have to sign a digital waiver now though so do that ahead of time!! Now this review is more for the event really, I'll have to go back in a normal day to get a real feel for what it's like now but as for today it was super disappointing. It was packed! As expected but it's like they didn't prepare for this amount of people. Compared to the old set up there was a lot more space in the front area which was nice but the lack of table space was obvious. We were there 15 min after opening and couldn't get table space and planned to eat. As people piled in behind us the disappointment continued with disappointed faces looking around for a place to sit down to put on their skates no where in sight. The concession stand line was pretty long but they kept it moving, it just seemed to pile up and not have a real direction though so people were confused and aggravated. Prices for everything have gone up but to be expected with the refresh. Just not somewhere we can frequent sadly as it was $55 for 4 of us to get in and $55 for 3 kids meals and popcorn with a bottle of water. So $110 in the first 20 minutes we were there. Then of course it was so packed and kids falling all over the floor with the pros flying around, my kids couldn't take it, they were begging to leave. A suggestion, consider selling tickets to this event prior to the event. Maybe sell tickets for two different blocks with the two ballooon drops. Like 12-3 and 3-6, this would alleviate some of the lines and the crowds. One thing they didn't upgrade, THE SKATES! Haha. They are still from 1989. I forgot mine so had to borrow some and they were rank! Then the shoe laces were so short on one and snapped while I was tying the other. (With the new carpet it's super hard to roll or walk too, just love prepared to be super awkward. But not a big deal, just fyi) We were impressed with the amount of balloons this year and loved the dance party after the drop, that was a nice touch from the last NYE event we came for. I also miss the old food. Their pizza was good before and today it was nasty, the kids wouldn't even eat it. The pretzel is now huge but it wasn't as good it was hard as a rock and not the best pretzel flavor. I did LOVe their queso and fries though, chicken tenders were good as well. Our family loves to skate so we will be back just hoping it will be less chaotic. I wish we were still skater tot age :(. Or wish they could add a 2 hour block for kids 12u. When these "professional" skaters hit the floor it's just so hard to enjoy skating and not cannot be fun for them either.

    Came here for a the yelpie awards- they made a solid espresso martini and really enjoyed the bowling. Also, they had phenominal wings, lowkey the best I've had in Austin- highly recommend getting their parm garlic sauce. Can't wait to come back for skating.

We did have a little service hiccup when our server left us waiting for quite a while. I also understand that things happen and sometimes a busy restaurant gets hectic, so I don't want to judge the entire experience based on that. What impressed me was how Khloe, the manager, stepped in and handled it. She was incredibly helpful and made sure we were taken care of, which really changed the experience for the better. The atmosphere is a lot of fun. Good music, sports playing on the TVs, bottomless mimosas, and games for anyone who wants to make a day of it. There's something for pretty much everyone in the group. Next time I'll definitely be trying some of the games. Between the food, drinks, music, sports, and overall vibe, this is pretty much the definition of a Sunday Funday spot. I'll definitely be back!

We opted for a package that included an hour of bowling, food & drinks for the kids, and a $10 arcade game gift card per child. This package was pretty affordable at $18 per child. They have add one such as goody bags and food/drink options for adults. We added a couple food platters for adults and the goody bags. Pros: - Affordable and convenient - low stress - kids had an absolute blast Cons: - Overall service was very average and slow. Inexperienced party host staff. - Room wasn't set up / ready until bowling was nearly done. - Upon arriving at the venue we learned that they didn't have goody bags available that day. This was disappointing because I would've expected a heads up at least one day in advance so that we can make other arrangements. They did provide an extra $10 on each child's game card to make up for it, which was nice.

Our food came in 15 min increments. So we started off with one pizza then the second and third pizza came out 15 min apart. This meant no one got to eat all at once which is really weird . The staff was then late to take us to Lazer tag and told us we might have to skip it all together because our party host arrived 3 min late to the game even though it was part of the package we paid for and not our fault our party host was dragging her butt. After hearing every excuse in the world including having a "manager" basically shush me and act like I was being unreasonable for demanding they stick to the party plan and stop being late to everything. After all this we ended up having to stay an hour and a half later than we had planned to experience everything we paid for and half the kids had to leave by that time which was really upsetting. They have no respect for your time they just want your money and once they have it you're no longer important. They had the nerve to give us a 1 hour of bowling for free gift card (to make it up ) while they gave us a $475 bill and wanted a tip. As if we are ever going back. This is after hearing "we have other people besides you to attend to what do you expect us to do we can't fix everything". Like I'm supposed to pay for a party package and not expect to get everything I paid for because they have more than one party . Just lazy !!! They have ZERO accountability, not one person really gave a damn. It was more like a burden to have to work. The whole place is going down hill and the restrooms are beyond filthy. The food is atrocious and even when we had to wait came out cold. Never had such a trashy worthless waste of money experience in my life as I did at this place. This isn't an opinion it's what happened.
