Came here with work friends on a Thursday and have to say I had a good time. The food was ok. They had sweet tea which was pretty good too. Everything seemed pretty clean and the employees were helpful. We also used arcade cards and unfortunately some of the games weren't working well or the cards were on the fritz (basket ball games were missing balls) and at one point our lane got clogged and someone had to fix it but overall it was a good trip. The thing that really was a lot is pricing. $40+ for one hour of bowling seems to be kind of expensive. I think if you had a group and split the cost it makes more sense otherwise I wouldn't return at that amount. They what looked like a full bar too which is cool. Their equipment for game set up seemed to be pretty updated and worked well. The parking lot is pretty big and easy to get to. Although the reek of weed at the door was not classy in sure they can't help it

My daughter had her first college bowling tournament at Stars & Strikes over the weekend so I drove to Raleigh to support her. With it being a tournament, the lanes were reserved for the college teams but there was plenty of room for all of the players in the bowling area. As I walked around, I was impressed with how large the bowling alley was. The bar area was also a nice size with seating all around it and the arcade area was very spacious, they even had an indoor bumper car area. I noticed two party rooms and I loved how they had an eating area called CJ's Tavern for those that wanted to sit and eat, away from the bowling area. I believe I was most impressed by the robotic machine delivering the food to the guests in the additional bowling area. How cool and innovative! Overall, my daughter and her team did well, along with the other teams and if they have another tournament here, I will gladly return.

I recently visited the new Stars & Strikes location in Concord while celebrating my daughter's birthday with family in Charlotte. It's only right that we visited our neighborhood location also! We enjoyed her birthday party so much that we had to return to end our holiday weekend with a bang. This location is a lot smaller than Concord however it's just as spacious, clean and home to wonderful employees. The staff were pleasant and very well mannered and working hard. My daughter played for less than an hour and scored so many points she was able to take home lots of prizes from the Winner's Circle. The quality of the prizes are great here and the arcade in very similar to Dave & Busters. My daughter was able to hit the jackpot on the Monster ball drop game and as always we enjoyed playing the classic Stinky Feet water spray race game. They offer bowling here and laser tag of course. They also have a dining area called CJ's. We will try dining next visit. Can't wait to come back for some fun.

Had our granddaughters birthday party here and the kids all had a blast. Bowling in the VIP was cool, they have different packages and hers included pizza and drinks, 1 1/2 hours of bowling, laser tag and bumper cars. The kids all got tickets for games and everyone seemed to enjoy. The pizza was not good, but the adult beverages at the bar were surprisingly good! Staff were friendly and place was clean and I liked the gaming area as it was spread out nicer than other places I've been to.

A new family fun center offering bowling, laser tag, bumper cars and arcade up on Capital Boulevard! Stopped in on their opening day and was pretty impressed. Restaurant to the left, a couple of private party rooms and bar to the right. 24 bowling lanes total and then the arcade and laser tag-bumper cars area. If I were a tween, I'd be pretty happy here! Beer prices are fine along with the arcade game prices. They've got some very cool motorcycle race games, a full size Pop-a-shot along with some other large games of skills. And yes, you earn tickets at the games so you can turn them in and get some crap! Ahh, I mean prizes! Overall a decent spot in a somewhat sketchy plaza. Your mileage may vary but if you live in the hood and have kids, it's worth a visit!

Arcade

What a cool place! Massive arcade surrounded by a restaurant, bar, 2 bowling alleys, laser tag annnnnd bumper cars. They even have some decent options in the prize area instead of just the typical junk. Laser tag was pretty big and so fun! Food options looked super limited and unappealing, so we didn't eat. Drink prices were pretty high, $15 for a shot of Patron, BUT - every single staff member was above and beyond friendly! The amazingly friendly staff was worth the high drink prices! Cannot wait to go back. Also, we go to a whole lot of arcades, and this was one of the cleaner ones I've been to, even for visiting on a busy weekend night.

My answer came with Ethan. Nominally he was our referee and babysitter. But in reality... in reality he was our gunnery sergeant; our centurion from days of yore! He filled our air, fixed our masks, and marched us off to chow! He taught us the ways of paintball and we taught him a little about life. A member of my communal living space encouraged him to incorporate a slogan of his own design into his everyday work script: "have an extreme day". How novel! Yes Ethan. Yes.

Daniel and Taylor were our guides and they were wonderful and patient with the gazillion questions our grandkids had. They were very professional even when my husband tried to do more than he should have and they had to reprimand him (he had been zipling on the "Green Bull" in Puerto Rico so he thought he could push the limits). The grandkids loved it and said it was their favorite part of the trip we were on. Anyways we will definitely be back to try the many other adventures they have. If you decide to go, make sure to ask for Daniel and Taylor!

Even the little ones. Highly recommend for families. It was clean, staff was great, courteous and helpful, and most all, patient with our large group. Just a little info., for our smallest one, 2 year old was given a laser gun only. There is only one of these and that was great for him. For the two 4 year old, girls, the vest were adjustable but still a bit large for them. This is not a criticism! We were warned that vests were better 5 and up. I am just sharing info. One other thing. It requires 2 hands on the laser gun. If you tell the staff prior to your game, they can and willingly change the settings on the laser gun, for you. As a family we went to Ci-Cis pizza in the same parking lot as laser tag, we ate, played as a family and had a great evening! Highly recommend for a fun family or group outing.

Although the party room was smaller than expected, we had plenty of space for our crew that day. I was thoroughly impressed with the cleanliness of this space, especially the bathrooms. One of the cleanest public restrooms I've seen in a long time. That means a lot during these times and especially when you have young children. Excellent place for parties or a day out with your family.

Opening night was a blast! Let's get into my personal haunted endeavors metrics:…read more Spookiness: 6/10 spooky scaries if we include Dark Trails. 3/10 if we exclude it. Not enough to give me nightmares. I got more scared of the trail and rustling of leaves and anticipation of scares. Honestly, a great introduction the the spookies for the whole family. Definitely chill to bring teens to. Parents can actually just hang out in the Midway without a ticket and hang out while kids do the spookies, which is something the other haunts don't plan well for. Scare actors quantity: 7/10 spooky scaries. There could've been more at the attractions, but really the complaint here is that there weren't enough scaring me on the Midway. But thinking about it now... maybe that was the whole family friendly thing. Am I he problem?? Scare actors quality: 10/10 story telling, 8/10 spookies. Not a lot of jump scares, by a lot of stalking and people blocking passages, which disrupted the flow of traffic when people got backed up and was pretty awesome to get groups back on track. Set design: 9/10. Obsessed with the fog rooms where it looks like monsters are swimming towards you under the "water" (fog). Each attraction has its own story and they're all clearly told. Wait times: 15-30 minute waits with no fast passes on opening night. I'd opt for the fast passes if it was any other night. Clear signage: clear with no room for error Access: easy peasy. attractions well spaced out, free parking. Easy to get to from the road. Nicely organized parking lot. Extras: the Carny Crypt (Fungus among Us) was so campy and cute. Kids will like it. Not very spooky for the adults at all. All in all, the amount of houses that you get for the price with free parking is so worth it. It definitely doesn't cause "panic" but scratches that spooky season itch!

Had a great time! Would go back again. The Haunted forest was the best attraction next to the…read morehayride. Loved seeing iconic movie characters. i recommend the funnel cake fries, they were awesome.

My son's best friend was having a birthday party. He was excited because he didn't know much about…read morethe place. I didn't tell him what kind of party because it's usually followed by way too many questions that I have no answers to. And I've realized it's better for him to be just as surprised as I am. You can hear it in his reaction to VR. The party started at 12pm. We arrived around 12:10pm on a Saturday. There was one employee and the party we attended was the only one there at that time. This place was pretty cool. It had VR, arcade games, pool table, and nerf battle. I didn't see the rage room. When you walk in, it seems kinda small for all of these activities to be in one building. Ok side bar: honestly, it felt like I had walked into a pool hall for adults. We had two different age groups so half of the party did nerf battle and half did VR. We couldn't see anything on the nerf battle screen. The score wasn't changing at all so I watched the kids who was doing VR. That was pretty cool! Things I didn't like: 1. There was only one bathroom. 2. The arcade games are "quarters only" so bring cash. They have an ATM but had I known, I would have brought cash to avoid fees. 3. Only one employee at the time. So we had to wait for her to get nerf set up then set up VR. She had to divide her attention. Final thoughts: I think this place should be advertised for adults only. The atmosphere was more conducive for adults but they had kid stuff mixed in there. Birthday room had tv with the birthday boy picture and a birthday message. Overall, it worked and the kids had fun.

Not very wheelchair accessible. It was fun and worth the price for laser tag! A great place for…read moreyoung adults to let loose!!!
