Very clean, updated facilities! Friendly, welcoming, professional staff! The food and drinks are great priced and very tasty!

Bingo time!
Evelyn G.

Attached to the bowling center was Beach Bingo which happens We'd-Fri from 430-10 with bingo games starting at 6:30. It was great fun! It wasn't the bingo I was expecting so it made it that more exciting to learn something new. They followed COVID-19 restrictions so you had to make a reservation to play. Tables were well distanced and hand sanitizer stations at the front. There were different variations of bingo played that I'd never heard of and the other regular players were very helpful. You have to buy a package to play but can buy extra cards if you want. The package is $24 and contains most of the games that would be played throughout the night. There were probably 25-30 games but maybe 3-5 that you had to buy. They played X out, 3 layer cake, blackout, regular bingo and special L from what I can re. It goes by fast since some the package contained 3 cards for a particular game. I don't remember the name of it but there bingo game that was something like reverse bingo where if they call a number you would cover that number and it's reversed. Ex:B14 then you cover B14 and N41. They have computer bingo you can purchase so it does the work for you and tells you when to say bingo but starts at $50. Had a really great time taking my mom there. I would definitely go again and can't wait to take my daughter when they have summer family fun bingo. Unfortunately it's for adults only until the summer. Two

We were previously stationed at Kings Bay, and really enjoyed bowling at their bowling alley on base. It was new, clean, and inexpensive. For a family night, we decided to check out Mayport's bowling alley. Like everything else on this base, my first impression of it was "it looks OLD!" I didn't care too much about that though, because bowling is bowling! The lanes and ball return were very clean and newer looking, but the carpet and bathrooms need to be renovated. They have a small arcade area, and a restaurant inside that is surprisingly very delicious. The price of bowling is fair too. We paid $20 for 2 games and 2 shoe rentals. We had a blast!

4.25 Games: Fun,…read moregood selection, fun pinball games, heard the skee ball went away which is a bummer. Mario, Donkey Kong, PAC Man, Mutant Turtles, lots of driving and gun games, Sopranos pinball, Metallica pinball, and others. Need more cup holders near those machines. Staff: 5 out of 5. So nice, helpful, walk around to offer more drinks. Food: Pretzel bites are good. Pizza was not great. Nachos were bad (stale chips and toppings lacked). With that being said, saw other food that may be better. You are there for the drinks and games, stay simple on the food. Drinks: Great selection- cooler and on draft. Cold mugs. Cost: Entry is affordable- Under 7 free, 16 and under 7.50, adults $15. For the amount of games you'll play (all then free), definitely worth it. Overall, a fun time with family and friends- something different and love the retro vibe. Bathrooms clean. Toys for sale. They have specials during the week and also tournaments. Give it a try! Veteran Owned, which is great, love to support.

I'll start with my one and a half complaints: the layout seems to be a little awkward. They've…read morechanged it a few times and it seems to be getting better but it's still awkward. Personally, I think they'd do well to get rid of the action figures for sale and use that wall space for other things. My other (lesser) complaint is that no one seems to know about this place. So it seems like they really need to put some time & energy into marketing. I'd just love for more people to know about this place Now on to all of the good: decent selection of games and priced well for wristbands. The food is excellent, IMO. Far better than I was expecting to be honest. They have a good alcohol selection too. The staff has been nice to us during the 2 or 3 times we've been there too.

Arcade games have changed so much over the years, so it's nice to be able to have access to them. All games take quarters and they do have a change machine. You can literally spend a few hours in here...just like the good ol' days for some of us. Moreover, there is a store where you can find a lot of older games for older consoles like the Wii, PS2, and Xbox360 to name a few. They have quite a few specials on older games as well. The store offers many other things as well other than playing or purchasing older games. They have gaming-type gifts and they do trades too. It's definitely worth a stop if you are a gamer, looking for a retro item and/or looking for a hard-to-find game or item for yourself or as a gift...or just want a trip down memory lane. On that note, I'm glad places like this exist to give new life to all of these games, etc. It's pretty cool!

I really want to like this place, and I will definitely be back to give it a more thorough second…read moreopinion, but for the time being, I will give it an opinion based on the things I did try and experience. I went in thinking this would be sort of a standard arcade experience, and it sort of is. The games we played worked well - no issues with the FPS game we played. Daughter really likes crane machines and is pretty darn good at them so she tried a few of those and it is laughable how bad those are. You can watch the crane prongs as they limp jiggle while pretending to "grasp" the items she legitimately snagged. Seriously, if there were any sort of tension on the crane prongs, people could actually win but you can see them jiggle back and forth as it caresses the items before snapping back closed once it clears the item and opens and closes with movement the whole way to the drop zone. I wish I had filmed how obvious it was. The arcade itself is pretty dim, which really makes it stand out that ALL of the games are bright, flashing neons. It legitimately hurt my eyes, head and made it pretty hard to see, which sucked because the flooring was coming up in a few places, which I know at least we stumbled on because you are blinded by the flashing lights. (Hey Main Event! Maybe fix the flooring over by the duck crane game before somebody actually severely injures themself because it was BAD over there.) Also, some of the games panels are off center. Not the location, but hear me out. This is one of the arcades where you spend certain amounts of money and get credits in return. Like $10=50 credits or something. Then each game has a different credit amount 7.2 credits to play this one, or 12.6 credits to play that one. But several of the games we wanted to play had the actual graphics of the card Swiper off center, so instead of "play this game. 7 credits." It would just read "ay this game. redits." Cutting off the left hand side of the screen, so you don't know how much the games costs until after you swipe your card. Which kind of sucks when the games each nickel and dime you. That's already my least favorite type of arcade, but that definitely makes it worse. I'll probably go back and give this place one more chance because I do love other places LIKE this, but so far, this has been my least favorite one I've been to and my nerdy self has a pretty large sample size to compare it to. And I'll take a LOT more ibuprofen before I go.

We visited Main Event yesterday and arrived around 4:30 PM. The ambiance is fun, energetic, and…read morevery family-friendly. There's a lot going on between the arcade, bowling, laser tag, restaurant, and bar, so it definitely has that big entertainment-center feel. It was lively without being overly crowded when we first arrived, although it got much busier later in the evening. When we walked in, we looked around and eventually seated ourselves because there was no hostess, waiter, bartender, or anyone around to direct us. We waited for quite a while without really knowing if we were supposed to order somewhere or if someone was going to come to the table. I took my daughter to the restroom and there was no paper available to dry our hands. I walked to the main register to ask for napkins or paper towels, but they didn't have any either, so I ended up walking back toward the restaurant area to grab a napkin. After waiting at the table for so long, I actually called the restaurant from my phone to ask if they were still serving food or if someone was going to come over. Shortly after, someone finally approached us and explained that they had been busy taking an order over by the bowling lanes. It definitely seemed like they were short-staffed and everyone was covering different areas. I understand that happens, but as a guest it was confusing because there was no direction and we didn't know who was supposed to be helping us. The menu was okay--not a huge selection, but we found things everyone wanted. We ordered loaded nachos, boneless chicken wings, corn dogs, a few beers, and two iced teas. The food was good and our server was okay, but the interaction felt more like taking our order than actual hospitality. He never asked if it was our first visit, explained how things worked, or recommended anything. Our kids were also never offered refills on their iced teas. After eating, we closed our tab and went to the arcade. The games were fun overall, although a few took our credits without actually working. We had to ask for assistance, but they did return the credits, which we appreciated. They also have bowling, which was pretty packed by the time we left, and we tried the laser tag. Laser tag was actually a lot of fun! My only complaint there was that the employee running it was not very friendly and gave very little explanation about how to put on or use the equipment. When you have families with younger kids, a little patience and guidance goes a long way. Overall, the atmosphere is fun and there's plenty to keep both kids and adults entertained. We enjoyed ourselves once we got into the activities, but the hospitality and organization need some improvement. A little more communication, friendliness, and attention to guests would make the entire experience much better.

This has been my go-to place for cardgaming in jacksonville for years now and I have visited all…read morethe card shops in town. Ordering singles on their site is convenient and since it is a chain, the selection is wider than any other card shops in jacksonville with free 2day in store pick-up for your order. They also buy cards and you can just look up the cards and prices they are buying at via their website instead of having to go in or call The play area is large and unlike other stores you don't have to pay to just sit and hang out with friends/try to play a pick up game of commander or something. There is always some kind of tournament running every day of the week from pokemon, magic, one piece, yugioh, and even bayblade. I also occasionally see D+D groups come in to use the tables sometimes Staff are generally friendly and knowledgeable since most are card game players and shop regulars. I do think their sealed is on the pricier end like you won't find msrp for most things but i recommend just going for the singles and tournaments
