    We ended up going here for a birthday and I wasn't disappointed but also wouldn't go back here over other places. The food itself was okay. Decent options and decent flavor. The most bang for your buck will actually be the bowling itself! We also played the arcade games while we waited for our bowling slot. The game selection is great, but my goodness the amount needed to play is on the high side. I would go back again, but only on a day with deals

    Nice new bowling alley in legacy area. Liked the vibe and the new seats and balls. They were very understaffed on the Monday night we visited. 90 minute wait to bowl, and then ordering food was slow. Also much more expensive than I expected. $40 for a lane for an hour, shoe rental not included.

    Oh, so much Fun. It's been a long time since I've been to an arcade. We decided to come here and have some fun with my son and a couple of good friends. All the games and arcades looked were so fun. I liked throwing axes, monopoly and the dance games. We also played laser tag which I had never done before. My hubby and I liked it so much that invited a few couples and are going out for a date night. This place is pretty cool and there's lots to do. We still have to try food, bowling and escape rooms. Great place to come when you want to get out of the house and stay out of the cold.

    Very chill environment. The shrimp app was an amazing, along with the buffalo ranch wrap. My husband and I bowled for 90 mins. We also hit up the arcade after.

    This was my first time coming and a great experience! It was with my company who had a private party--it seemed like we were in a closed off bar area, and able to roam the whole venue, with others outside of the company also able to come in as well. There are so many different things to do--we bowled a few rounds, and played plenty of arcade games. There is also laser tag and escape rooms available. The bowling was great--our balls got stuck a couple times and they were very quick to fix this. Arcades were great as well--plenty of variety, and not too crowded. We were given $25 cards and between the 2 of us walked out with 2400 points--a few medium sized prizes and lots of small candies. The buffet food was great for a group like ours! Plenty of options, and kept pretty warm. Staff was all very friendly and helpful. Overall a great venue and experience!! I would definitely come back!

    This place isn't talked about enough! Since moving to Omaha we've been disappointed with indoor gaming/activity spaces for our preteen/teen. This place was AWESOME for the whole family! The atmosphere is great and has something for the whole family. We did laser tag, 30 minute escape room, chilled at the bar, ate some food, and played games. I had seen a review saying the games were expensive. . . It's not too bad. Most games are $1.50, but VR games are $5, over all there is plenty you can do with $20-$30. We will be back!

    Great experience! Amber rung us up and she was so nice and accommodating! The big screens were neat and the seating was so comfortable. LOVED the arcade. It was a little interesting that you paid with money instead of credits on your card (example: when you swipe skee ball, it tells you you're swiping $1.50 from your card instead of "8 points" or whatever). Definitely made me spend less money. Not sure if that's a good or bad thing. Can't wait to check out the food and other entertainment areas.

    Multi-themed, fun-filled, massive entertainment space for all ages is a welcome sight in southwest Omaha! Spare Time has you covered with bowling, arcade games, laser tag, escape rooms, and massive TVs for can't-miss sports. I walked in and was immediately greeted by friendly staff excited to show me around and what they have to offer for a newly opened venue. For food, they have a sit down restaurant and an in-house pizzeria. Serval bars throughout will keep your drinks filled to the top. For your corporate/big events, they have a private "elite" space with private bowling lanes and its own bar. I did not have a chance to try the food during this visit, but the arcade and laser tag are super fun! For those who just want to play games without ticket redemption, they have a 1 hour pay-to-play card option which is a really good deal. I will for sure be returning for an escape room or dinner and bowling next! Don't skip this one!

    Wonderful store! I was hardly prepared for the refreshing experience I found here…read more There are so many games for different consoles, old and new! I found a couple new-to-me, limited release games for my older console. They've also got bunches still in storage, so if you're looking for something specific, just ask! The owners are currently remodeling and expanding into the space next door, with plans to expand their in-store gaming space. It's going to be amazing! There are bunches of other gaming products and accessories to complement both gaming (like controllers, guitars, mics, etc.) and the gaming lifestyle (like mugs, pins, graphic novels, etc.). I'll be back to look for gifts for my gaming family. My eldest bonus boy was excited to see how good a deal was at the Pokémon Trading Card Post. All of the kids found something to call their own. ^_^b Oh, and it isn't for sale, but the collection of Poké Balls from the 1999 Burger King kids' meals at the front desk is so cool!! The complete set!! XD There are a few other things like that sprinkled in the store. Just a joy to see them and enjoy them for a moment. Another thing that isn't for sale--the owners! They are a treasure to speak with, and so knowledgeable about the gamers' universe. My kids were delighted to find ready conversation with them about a bunch of gaming things I didn't fully grok. And I found their expertise deeply fascinating and engaging, as well. All in all, this place is true to its name--The Gamers Oasis. A place where you can relax, sink into a world of gaming for a while, and come away refreshed and powered up for the real-life play outside. 10/10

They have a basement where customers can come in a play games on the consoles. They had mentioned they're thinking of having an hourly rotation of games with sign up lists and schedules for those who are interested. I highly recommend for those who are exploring options for new games or consoles. These individuals are so knowledgeable and passionate about their craft and it truly shows. If you have any questions, concerns, or just looking to look, turn no further.

They are 4 and 7, and immediately the extremely friendly front desk clerk made me aware as nicely as possible, that these games are designed for kids 8+. I totally understood as lot of these games are violent, and/or phsycial with the hand tools. However, she graciously allowed them to come back and try some roller coaster rides, my son LOVED it, and my daughter liked it, but as she stated at the beginning these are for older kids so I wasn't surprised. I would definitely recommend coming here with kids in an older crowd. There are so many games and things to play.

Pricing was $53 total for my 2 daughters to play for 30 minutes each, but they will have happy hour pricing available throughout the summer where kids can play for 1 hour for $25.

I wish you could book sessions via their website, but we were able to get appointments secured via email easily enough. We plan to return!

I've also been for trivia nights and those are always fun, you may even be able to win back some of your tab ;) Their food is decently priced and they have a good variety. This was a new menu to me - I think they changed a few things to simplify their menu, but the food is still great! I got the sweet heat cheddar burger and it was delicious. I don't like a ton of spice and this was not an issue at all - just the smallest amount of heat if you're worried about it (balanced nicely with the sweet jam). Their fries are always good and they have a great selection of drinks and beers. Service kind of depends on how busy the place is, sometimes they're fast, sometimes they're slow - really depends.

I've gotten to enjoy the karaoke, rooms, Cornwall, boards, outdoor tables, and more! They have so much more to offer that I haven't even had a chance to explore yet. The food here is amazing as well! The churro fries are probably the best crowd please I found, but everything else taste delicious as well! Prices are very reasonable for a place like this. And service is always amazing too! Highly recommend trying this place out, especially if you have a group of 5 to 10+ people looking for an event in town!
