Merry Go Round
Kathleen L.

This is a great indoor entertainment venue for adults and kids! It is a great place to a have birthday party. There is a large bowling alley, a play-land for kids with slides, a game area, gambling area for adults (next to the bar). An indoor go kart / race track, bumper cars, merry go round, a roller coaster, a tilt a whirl, ride on cars, arcade games, redemption area with fun prizes, a snack restaurant and lots more. My 7 year old daughter loves it here! You can buy an attraction pass and come back another day if you don't use it all!

We had an Epic time celebrating my niece's 5th Birthday. The staff was attentive and very helpful. They made sure to wipe down all the rides and areas in this place. Bathrooms were spic and span clean. I had so much fun in this place. It was easy to find parking in the lot. I was amazed that everyone was following guidelines and wearing mask. Even the babies kept their mask on. I was very impressed how the staff kept it professional and made sure everyone was safe.

So fun

SO FUNNNNNNN Take your kids there every single day I LOVEEEEEEE IT JUST GO food is so good and rat free

The male the followed and put his hand on me.

The party room smelled of mold the host was not a host she was very rude and combative when a complaint was made and began try to antagonize guest. The manager was less than helpful, not only did they pressure us to leave but after a confrontation her male staff continued following me even after I had left. I don't understand how they are in business still it needs to be shut down it's out dated and unclean.

I remember going to safari land when I was younger and b/c I wasn't paying for anything I didn't realize how expensive it is. You pay tax just to load your card! I wasted money here. The prizes are worthless junk, terrible, & overpriced. I was very disappointed with safari land as an adult taking my own child here for her birthday. My daughter had a better time at enchanted castle.

Can we bring our own coffee in a travel mug?

Hi Melissa. We have a strict policy on outside food being brought in to follow health department & safety measures. We have a full service restaurant including affordable coffee, creamer and sugar options.

Do we need vaccine?

Hi Darrin! No you do not need proof of vaccination status as of yet since we are DuPage County. The vaccine proof is required in Cook and suburban Cook county. So even though you don't need the vaccine, or negative COVID test, we do ask that you… Read more

I was here on Good Friday since I had the day off. I made my gaming partner go early because those times were discounted and boy, am I glad I did! By the time our 90 minutes were up, the place was getting PACKED. It made my heart happy to see so many families doing something active and together! Like I stated before, I have been coming since it opened, and I appreciated in this visit that the instruction screens were updated, some of the rooms that we not working on my previous version were up and running again, etc. I also appreciate an upgrade to their reward system! Before, they used to hand you items (a water bottle, a basketball, etc.), but now you earn coins and can "spend" them on the items of your choice. I prefer that so I can pick items that I will actually use! (The aforementioned water bottle and basketball were donated to my local charity shop.) I chose a personal bracelet that Activate uses to track your time and points while you are actively participating in the games. The facilities have bathrooms, access to clean drinking water, free lockers to protect your belongings, etc. This time, too, I wore my fitness tracker for kicks and giggles and I burned almost 500 calories in 90 minutes of fun. I wish they offered a summer pass or a monthly pass like other entertainment options in the suburbs.

I've been to this location twice. We came here on NYE and were able to do the 60 min session. The…read more90 min session was not available but 60 min is more than enough to try all of the rooms at least once. After that, you can choose to go back to your favorite ones. There are free lockers to put your belongings as well as a free coat check. There are restrooms and a water fountain in the very back. There is a lounge area that is used for private parties but you can also just sit in there. You can watch other people play on the big screen. I recommend wearing casual or active attire because you'll get a workout for sure Each game room has a variety of levels and different types of games within that room. The cost per person is cheaper Mon - Thurs. $20.99 for 60 mins. $26.99 for 90 mins. Fri - Sun it's $26.99 for 60 mins and $38.99 for 90 mins. For Mondays and holidays, it's best to check back because the prices do change. I highly recommend booking on the website instead of blindly going there. The slots fill up fast. The games are short so you don't have to wait long to go into that room. The room types are arena, climb, grid, hoops, mega laser, hide, control, mega grid, strike, portals, and press. The staff were all friendly and helpful. There's no issue with finding parking.

Are you a Ghostbusters fan? If not, you will be after visiting this location. Who ya gonna call?…read moreWonderverse! The VR experiences are well thought-through and motion sickness isn't much of a factor at this resolution. The overall experience of the location is polished, with a clear flow, very good layout, and nice separation (despite being an open space) between "the bar" and the rest of the activities. Not too many obnoxious kids when we went (although some are a given due to the nature of the place and the town it's in). Staff was beyond incredible. Everyone seemed to care deeply about customer experience, cleanliness, and safety.

First to arrive had drinks and a shared appetizer at the bar. Once the table was ready we made sure our glasses were full and decided to share appetizers. Buffalo cauliflower was good, chicken wings were ok, jerk tacos lacked spice and the salmon bites were amazing. We ordered dessert as well. Lime Light which is a fried key lime pie ice cream with marshmallow meringue. Good flavor. The S'mores Ghost, with a house made graham was torched table side and drizzled in chocolate sauce. There are two options for the game card, you can either choose time or credits. We chose to share 90 minutes of time. We were able to play most of the video games, bumper cars and two VR experiences. What a way to channel our inner child. To wrap up the day we headed to the Ghost Trap which is a Ghost Buster's themed speak easy. Ghosts dance on the walls and some of them even chomp on the paintings. Tequila birthday shots were served in skulls. We laughed uncontrollably and had a really good time being BIG kids for a few hours.

LaserX of Addison is the center of operations of a local meetup group I run. The location is great!…read moreWe are at the center for everyone: people from down in Joliet and people up in Palantine. The location itself is very wonderful. I grew up coming to this place for birthday parties with my friends. The location to this day is still very organized, clean, and friendly. As for the laser tag itself, they did recently upgrade their guns and they are awesome. I love the shield mode and all kinds of new features. I do have criticisms though that should be addressed: 1. As a regular client, the location is starting to get boring. People know all the secrets, all the lights, all the traps, etc. Can you please consider changing the floor layout every so often to avoid tedium? 2. The decorations inside the arena are starting to show their age. They all look great, but a lot of them are no longer functional. I think upgrading the decorations in the arena would be awesome. 3. The "towers" are a really cool addition to the laser tag games, but the blue tower can be guarded very easily. Unlike the red and yellow towers, there's only two entrances into the blue tower and it can be almost impossible to get points taking it down if two good players are camping there guarding it. 4. The obstacles are barrels and walls. I think it would be cool if the arena had more variety including different shaped barriers or more things to avoid. 5. There's 4 interactive shootable lights around the arena. I think it would be really cool if there were more of those to shoot at. 2 of them turn on lights, while 2 of them just give you points. Overall, LaserX of Addison is wonderful and I'm so happy that the location is still open. I am just on the fence with the upkeep of the arena. The laser tag system is great, but the arena itself does need some improvements. There's not enough updates to keep people wanting to come back to see what's different.

Visited with a group of 9 on a Thursday to enjoy 90 minutes of game time! The person working did a…read moregreat job at explaining games and options our group had. We ended up dividing the 90 minutes into (3) 30 minute games so our groups could keep rotating. They have lockers to lock belongings in, rooms can host up to 6 people and have options to order simple beverages while you play. Our first game was Box Party which is their version of a Mario Party. There are a couple of mini game options as you work through the map. This by far was our group's favorite game! We chose the 30 minute game but easily could have played it for the full 90 minutes. Our second game was Floor is Lava. This one was fun but a bit harder than I was expecting it to be. There are parts where you bump into other players so I recommend playing with good friends or family. This is more of a group task game. Our third game was Angry Birds. This overall was the group's least favorite as it wasn't very physical. The game takes on the classic idea of launching birds at towers to get points. This was more individual tasks than team tasks. Overall, this was such a fun experience! They offer games for any aged guest and for any comfort level of players together. I enjoyed having the personalization of our "meeps" to play in each game too.

I won't ruin it, but I will say it was definitely fun and there was some intensity to it. While it utilized VR headsets, tt definitely was not a full VR experience. You interact with the game on the walls. There was an option to purchase beverages during the experience which we did not do. After the ad popped up a few times it got to be a little annoying. It was just the two of us so we were able to do each game repeatedly, which made it even more fun because it allowed us to figure out how to solve the puzzles. Because of that I wouldn't suggest going with more than four or five people. Overall, I would say it was worth the trip to Oakbrook.

This is my favorite place to go multiple times a week…read more We buy the seasonal passes and the value is insanely good. We make it an effort to have family days here as often as possible. It's loud, it's bright, it's everything you need to take a break from reality. The service here is always top notch. Specifically Brian, Edwin, Irving, and Alexa. From ordering at the bar, sitting in our favorite booth, or redeeming our tickets. It's always easy breezy and they are all very good with kids. It's rare to fine people that enjoy their jobs and they do it so well and extend that to every guest. We don't eat much but, Edwin recommended wings once and the kids have fallen in love with them.

Over the summer they offered an unlimited play pass, which was a great deal for the kids and even came with discounts on food and drinks. The location is definitely smaller than some of the other ones in the area, but they still manage to fit in a lot of the same games. My only gripe with this location is the restaurant service. There have been a few times we ended up leaving because a server never came by after seated. Aside from that, it's been a great addition to the area and a spot we'll keep coming back to for the games and family fun. 'Til next time, cheers!

It's easily been three decades since I've been to a CEC and my expectations were pretty low (established on what I remember from my childhood). However, I walked away with a new sense of appreciation. While not a huge place the entire facility is sizable and offers a decent variety of games to play. Gone are the ball pits and tubes (a causality of COVID, perhaps?), however. It's all little kid riding machines, "circus-style" ticket-dispensing games, and a few video games. Kids across a wide variety of ages will have a blast here. We were there for a birthday party and they executed on that, and the five(!) others occurring simultaneously, very well. In fact, the way they coordinate the timing of the parties is very smart - there is no competing to sing or do cake (b/c all are done together). And the food - I liked it. Granted, there isn't much not to like about pitchers of juice and pizza but their pizza was pretty tasty! They also have a menu that offers plenty more plus beer and wine! All of this is presented with an over-arching level of safety: you and your child get matching (invisible) hand stamps and no child leaves unless their stamp matches the adults. I like that. It's been a while but it's been much too long. I need to frequent CEC more often, I think. They do a bang up job.
