They even have a "spin the wheel" when you walk in if you follow them on IG--scored 5 free tokens right off the bat, which was a nice surprise. We grabbed the $50 package, and my nephew had a blast. He walked out with seven prizes from different machines! When we arrived a little after 10, the place wasn't too crowded, but about 20 minutes later it filled up fast and got a bit hard to move around. Still, we had a great time and will definitely be back. Pro tip: go earlier when it's not too busy!

But I dont want to ever come back again. Came in yesterday and there was nobody else other than the two workers. Both seemed pretty disinterested and couldn't care less about clients. I played a few games while waiting for my food order. Was playing one machine and stepped away for a little bit to look around. When i got back, one of the workers was emptying the machine of the prize i was trying to win. Typically these machines work on a pay out rate and i was kind of invested in that particular machine and prize. Asked if she could just leave one of them for me to try to win and she brushed me off telling me theyre being moved to another machine. Didnt want to argue or make the situation awkward so I left it. In the end, i won four prizes and went back to the restaurant next door to see which ones my girlfriend wanted. I was gone for roughly 20 minutes. Went back to the store just to ask to exchange one plush for a single point. Told me they wouldn't do it. Said it was policy since I stepped out to refuse my points. Never been told this before despite doing the exact same thing at least twice before. And the sign on the door explaining exchanges didn't mention anything about that rule. Honestly, the quality of the prizes seems like its been slowly dipping. And the lack of decent customer service was terrible. And the prizes for exchanging points is way worse. The options to trade for prizes feel like they're getting worse since items seem to cost more points than when they first open. And the selection is getting slimmer. They can keep my points. Im never going back there again.

Went here just to try the BBQ and dessert (shave ice) which both are REALLY TASTY and REALLY GOOD…read morePRICED for the amount you receive and compared to most food places. Food was also soft/juicy. Tried everything from the 3 Meat Plate (brisket, sausage [weekends only], pulled pork, with mac & cheese/rice), loaded tots with pulled pork, the brisket chili, pulled pork sliders, shave ice. If there is anything you should try, I really liked the BRISKET, SAUSAGE (weekends only), the BRISKET CHILI, SHAVE ICE. Its worth mentioning the loaded tots were all crispy and delicious down to the last bite. The meat/food taste was just right with the amount of flavoring, spice, and texture. To level/change up the taste, you can also use the delicious sauces and if you had to pick any, pick the Honey Mustard one & Spicy (which was barely spicy). The shave ice is really good too because the ice is soft like biting into a cold cloud. The flavors are limited but you still find at least 2 good flavors (all you really need). Cashier was very nice with typical take our service. I tried other highly rated BBQ places in town which I found food to be over seasoned/salty or too spicy. This place is just right for everything. Food area is in tropics mini golf and you can get food without playing any golf. If you on the sidewalk passing it, you can smell the cooking. A hidden gem in Aiea for food and/or dessert. If I am craving BBQ or dessert and nearby I will definitely be stopping by again.

Wanted to try them out so scheduled one of their 15min sessions. Admittedly, arrived 10 min late…read more (no parking so we were driving around for over 15min). Reschedule policy was the same price as our individual package. Cancellation policy was more than the price of one of us. It's a very expensive policy. And they definitely don't care if you come back or not. I would not recommend. Seems like a bad idea to have very frustrating policies in place for a Rage Room. ;)

Tried Out a Rage Room for the First Time - Totally Worth It!…read more I've been hearing about this rage room for a while and finally decided to check it out. I called ahead to ask about any discounts for locals or birthdays, and they told me they do offer a local discount with valid ID -- nice little bonus! They also said they had availability that day, so I figured, why not? The whole experience was super satisfying. Ever feel like breaking something at work but don't want to get fired? Break n Anger is the place to let that urge out safely and legally. Here's how it works: You get to choose 2 items from the top shelf and 5 items each from shelves 2, 3, and 4 -- so about 17 items total to smash. After signing the waivers, you suit up in a jumpsuit, gloves, and a helmet. They offer earplugs too, but I skipped those -- the sound of breaking stuff is half the fun. Honestly, the time flew by -- I went all in for 10 minutes and it felt like seconds. I probably should've paced myself, but I really wanted to let the rage out. No regrets though -- it was super fun, and I can totally see this being a great team-building activity. I'm definitely planning to go back and try the premium items next time!

You can do the standard movie tour and see the literally hundreds of movies and TV shows filmed there or explore a bit more on your own with their ATV tour or horseback tour. Everything is reasonably priced and our guide was fantastic. So much knowledge of history, filming, wildlife and lore. All done without a script in sight. There is a bunker built for WW2 that was never really used but now houses movie memorabilia from the many productions on the ranch. Staff everywhere was super friendly and be sure to check out ALL of the buildings as they offer food souvenirs and even a shop with meat and products from the ranch itself.

I visited Sports Box once a few months ago and it was a very unpleasant experience…read more I booked about 3-4 days in advance and I got 3 spots reserved and paid for all ahead of my reserved date and time. I received a few text messages with reminders prior to my date. Not once in the reminders was I told of how to get into the mall after hours. I called Sports Box while I was outside, but there was no answer for about 15 mins. I did arrive earlier than my reserved time to check in, but by the time I had gotten in touch with someone it was my time to start my reservation and that was already disappointing at how long it took to get into the building. After being checked in for 3 reserved spots I am told that one of my spots doesn't have the golfing option as it was broken. I wasn't offered another spot, due to it being used by others already. I wasn't offered any compensation, I had to ask the attendants for compensation which I was met with attitude from one of the attendants. Another attendant was pleasant and said he would have to call their boss as they weren't sure what they could do. Throughout my night I waited for an update, but no update was given on what could be done to compensate me for one of the spots not being fully operable. So we started a bit late because we couldn't get into the building and we also weren't offered to finish a bit later, which I would've appreciated since we started a few mins late. At the end of the night when leaving I asked the attendant if they had spoken to their boss and the attendant said they were authorized to give me a $75 Gift Card only, which I took but it is no good to me as I will not be going back. To me it was not a pleasant experience all around. This is not a place I recommend based off of my first experience here.

Our first experience with Sports Box was the other afternoon when we walked in. No one was at the…read morefront counter. We waited for about 8 minutes before a male worker came to the front. No "thanks for waiting", no greeting really. We asked for a box for an hour. We asked if they offer military discount, he handed us a brochure as he said "you can call that number and ask". You work here, you don't know? And what is calling the number going to do if no one answers & you're collecting payment from us now? The soccer ball in the box he put us in was torn & warped, he gave us a different ball that was also torn but at least not warped. The baseball was missing, so I went to ask him for one as he was sitting at the counter & he said "it's a softball", still sitting down. Ok, whatever - can I have one? It seemed like he didn't want to be there. Not a good first impression at all. Unsure if we'll ever return to this location. The lack of customer service was immense.

We had a kid with us so we only did the paved portion of the hike. Plus my hiking buddy didn't…read morehave shoes. Oops! But since we had this already planned, we went anyway. You need to gain access to the trailhead as it is in the military housing behind Tripler Hospital. Fortunately, my hiking buddy works for the military and we were able to get to the trailhead with no problems. There was ample parking and appears to be fairly safe given that this is on military area. So while I wouldn't recommend leaving your car unlocked, the chances of your car getting broken into is pretty slim. Going up the paved path is pretty straight forward. Just make sure you take the HECO road on the left once you're on the "trail." The incline is steady and you're quickly admiring views of Oahu. We went around lunchtime so the sun was overhead and shade was a bit scarce. I can imagine that once the guavas are ripe, the air would smell guavaey lol. So it was a relief to get to the end of the paved area, do some drone shots and go back down. We would definitely go again to do the full ridge!

Upon check in for our reservation, they ask you to read and sign the waiver for liability. If you are not wearing closed-toe shoes, they have disposable socks and loaner shoes available. Our coach went motion by motion, to show us the technique for throwing an axe. She stepped back and watched the first few throws and then offered a little more guidance. I had zero experience, never even touched an ax before this so it took me a while to get the hang of it. It was a little discouraging at first but overall, we had friendly competition on our scoreboard and the time went by too fast. Pleasantly surprised to see a full bar with great options. We ordered a cocktail and a beer. This may have helped my throws get better because the axe started landing on higher scores LOL This was a wonderful indoor activity to try. We both had a lot of fun with a little friendly competition.

Never thought I'd enjoy virtual golf as much as I do now…read more Last year, I signed up for a membership because I used to go to the driving range 2-3 times a week and play on the course every other week. With how much driving range prices have increased over the years, the membership has actually helped me save money each month. Being able to play 18 holes twice a week on the simulator alone makes it worth every penny. The Golfzon simulator is also the best one I've tried compared to other sims. One feature I really enjoy is being able to track my stats and review my swing analysis videos directly in the Golfzon app on my phone -- something I can't get at a regular driving range. I also enjoy the flexibility of having private late-night sessions after a long day at work. It's a great alternative to the gym and a fun way to switch things up. Bringing friends to play in the virtual league has been a blast too. On top of that, the owner, Anant, is very welcoming and accommodating. The members I've met are all different skill levels, and everyone has been super friendly and cool. This is definitely the golfing community I've been looking for.

I love that you get the whole place to yourself, the room is huge and there's a lot of things to do aside from the simulator itself. Entertainment- putting area, 2 arcade games, karaoke, cards, 2 smart tvs. Food/comfort- tables, extra chairs, 2 comfy sofas, refrigerator, microwave (can bring your own drinks and food) Parking is easy to find, we just park by Hawai'i USA and take the elevator up. Kahi is an easygoing guy and made everything simple to understand when teaching us about how to use the simulator. We liked it so much that we signed up for membership that day. We're here maybe like once a week. It's also kid friendly! We have a 1 and 4 yr old that we bring sometimes. We always book the 2hr reservation and that gets us through an 18hole course (2 players) and time for driving range or parts of another course after. They also have an app connected with the simulator that records your swing and gives you feedback on it. It records your scores on the courses too. Booking is also super easy! Communication with the owners is also really good, they respond pretty quickly. So far they've done an outstanding job. If you love to golf, but can't go out to the courses all the time then a membership here or even just visiting here to try it out is definitely a must!
