Always a hit with kids! We come here for the parties. I'm…read moresure it's just as fun as a play date/weekday jump session. A 2 hour party for 25 kids costs $345.00 for a weekend party. Includes pizza and pop. The party is jumping first for 1 hour and 15 minutes. They start in room A and then to room B. The two rooms have different inflatables. The first room has a huge bubble machine. The second room has a floor video game. The 45 minutes at the end is rounding up the kids into the party room to eat, look at pictures on the TV that the workers take via digital camera, and open presents. Service is ok. Employees are young people. Some are teenagers. So their service isn't above and beyond par. They get the party scheduled and moving. I do like this place compared to other competitors. The difference is that they know how to schedule the kids and move them along. It's easy to maneuver and not as chaotic when there are multiple parties going on. No idea how they clean the place in between parties. (Hopefully they DO clean...???) But we recommend Pump it Up.

I took my little man to a birthday party here today and I was definitely impressed. This place is…read morea lot like Monkey Joes and The Playground in Ankeny. It is like Monkey Joes in that it is all inflatables. It is like The Playground in that it has different rooms with the play equipment in it. Of the three places mentioned I'd have to say I like this place the best. The facility has two big rooms and the two rooms have 6 inflatables total with three in each room. I posted pics of some of the inflatables. The big plus is that they have changed out and updated the inflatables unlike Monkey Joes who has had the same inflatables for years. Outside of the inflatables the rooms also have some small toys to play with and one room has a game that is broadcast onto the floor that the kids can stomp around on. As far as the birthday party went it was pretty cool. They start you out in one room for a set amount of time then move you to the second room for a set amount of time. Finally they move you into a party room for cake and presents. There were two people attached to the group and one person seemed to lead. He took pictures throughout the party and had them playing on a TV at the end. He also took notes and wrote down who gave what presents. All in all I'd definitely recommend Pump It Up for your kiddos and parties.

Overall, I was disappointed with my experience at K1 Speed due to repeated instances of karts…read moreslowing down or coming to a complete stop during active racing. This created a safety concern, as it was alarming to come quickly around a corner and encounter a stopped kart on the track--not because of an accident or reckless driving, but due to the kart's power being remotely controlled by staff. Our group was not being rowdy or causing issues, so it was unclear why these interventions were necessary during our race. While we did enjoy the customer service and food, the racing portion of the experience left our entire group dissatisfied. Not having full control of the karts made it difficult to enjoy the race and, at times, felt unsafe. Abruptly slowing down or stopping mid-race left drivers feeling vulnerable and at risk of being hit by others who had no warning. Additionally, these interruptions negatively impacted race results. Several drivers who were leading or in the top three were dropped to much lower positions after their kart slowed or stopped unexpectedly. Because of these issues, we are unlikely to return, despite the otherwise positive aspects of our visit.

Claw games too, and lucky for me, my dad might be the great claw game master of all time, so I learned a few things over the years from him! Bowling lanes are nice and have fun digital videos on the scoreboard between every throw! It keeps the game light hearted and fun! Full bar and lots of bar food to keep those dirty bowling hands grabbing and munching on stuff! Staff was super nice and the place is super clean! I'm no Pin King, but this place makes me sing... If you got time to SPARE and are looking to STRIKE up a good time! Hit it up!

Went on a Saturday night. No wait. Clean. Everyone was pleasant. The music, colors, lights, decor…read morewere all family friendly and fun. There aren't any kiosks at each lane like they have at bigger facilities; they program your name in for you at check in.

we went on 10/30/25:…read more We were running a little late, but when we walked into the room, the energy was off -- the people didn't seem friendly, and no one offered to help. I wasn't sure where to buy a package, and when I finally found the right place, the man handing them out was very discouraging. He mentioned there were only a few games left out of 28 and seemed reluctant to sell me a package. I told him that was fine -- I still wanted to buy one just to enjoy the experience. My friends arrived a little later, and he refused to sell them a package. They came over to wait with me since I had already purchased mine. One of my friends was allowed to stay, but when the other arrived, they told us she had to leave -- and the way they approached us was very rude and made us feel uncomfortable. At that point, I didn't even feel like staying to finish my games. I ended up giving my $25 package to a kind lady who was helping me understand how bingo worked since I'm new to it. We were just trying to have a fun girls' night out, but instead, we basically got kicked out and treated poorly. To make matters worse, when we asked for the name of the woman who told us to leave, she refused to give it, and they were talking about us as we were leaving. It was an unprofessional and disappointing experience. I would not recommend this place.

Walked into Dave & Buster's in the middle of the afternoon on a Saturday. We wanted to grab a…read morequick bite to eat and play some games. Close parking to the front entrance can be hard to find at peak times even with the business being adjacent to Jordan Creek Mall. There's plenty of spots, but you might have to hike a little. My guess is mall guests utilize the parking right in front of Dave & Buster's too while they shop. The gentlemen at the host station said the wait for a table would be 1 1/2 hours despite there being visibly plenty of open tables... Not enough staff to cover all the sections maybe? Or maybe they were reserved...? There were seats open at the bar so we headed that direction. The full food menu is available at the bar too. Seating is mostly larger open booths, high top tables and chairs, and the seating at the bar. Our bartender/server was nice enough. We ordered the following: 1x Cheese Stick Stack - "Extra-large crispy cheese sticks topped with shredded Parmesan. Served with marinara sauce." 1x Bar Burgers & Wings Platter. Wings with honey barbecue - "Smashed burger sliders paired with Bone-In Wings with your choice of sauce or dry rub. Served with seasoned fries and celery sticks with your choice of ranch or bleu cheese." 1x Hottie burger and fries - "Two cajun-spiced smashed burger patties, topped with pickled jalapeños, pepperjack cheese, lettuce, pickles, tomato, onions, jalapeño ranch, and a fried jalapeño." 2x Fountain drinks (Coke products) 1x Dangerous Waters Island Punch - "Malibu Coconut, Blue Curaçao, pineapple, and fresh citrus mix." As nice as our bartender was I think he keyed something in wrong with the Bar Burgers & Wings Platter. The wings were forgotten. They (him and a manager) straightened it out and adjusted our bill a little. The food was all good. The stand out to both of us was the Cheese Stick Stack. This is an awesome app with an epic cheese pull! The wings were REALLY good too... After our food and drinks we spent some time playing games. Just messing around... A good mix of old or new arcade games. Skee ball, basketball games, clown ball toss, whack a mole, water gun race, coin pushes, wheels of chance, etc. The place was clean and there were staff available on the floor if you ran into any problems or had questions. A decent way to kill an afternoon. https://www.daveandbusters.com/

I was organizing a company team outing here…read more The customer service on the phone was helpful as I was struggling with the options provided on the website for our small groups. IF you are trying to put together a group of less than 10 you cant utilize their offered company team building . I was informed there would have to be exceptions made to make it work. Once we figured out what would work for us we did 3 smaller groups in the middle of the week in the middle of the day. The atmosphere is loud. Even with no one else really in there. The waitress was fantastic with my group. I explained what we were doing and order the meal and play with play cards for our group. She talked me through what she was going to do and helped make sure it worked out alright. Hang onto your D&B cards, they can be reloaded. You will have to pay a small fee to reload, but no as much if you have reactivate a new card. There are some really big games. You can win "tickets" of course. I thought the place was bigger, but the gaming area is half and the eating/bar is on the other. Circling back on the food. That was a shock. It was really good. Far better than I had thought. I got the burger and was pleasantly full. Everyone in our group of 7 enjoyed their meals. Everyone left happy and full. Again my waitress was very helpful and accommodating. I want to try this again since she said the team building is actually pretty cool. I think I have an idea so that we can meet the team minimums.

There are maybe 12 different rooms and they're building another currently. The staff is very kind and welcoming. I definitely recommend the Breakout for a fun escape room experience!

I ment to write as soon as I got home from the event but I was in a sugar coma from the delicious ice cream from The Outside Scoop. I lucky got to go down Friday evening. Parking is marked on the opposite side of the street of the venue. As we walked up the food trucks were feeding the masses. We entered the main door, here you purchase the entrance fee as make your way in. Right inside is a couple vendors and a bar where you can wet your whistle. From here you climb a couple flights of steps and enter a room full of magic. Here the magic is made by multiple vendors that are all local. There was everything you can imagine. Beautiful hand made jewellery, soaps, music, clothes, food, coffee, wood products and more and more. The vendors change a little bit with talking with a few I can see they all like the inside venue. It had great light add even a sky light. I think I'll be visiting this market again.
