It was a little bit of a hike as we were coming from Bethesda but we had heard a lot about it so we decided to check it out. After getting off the highway there was a lot of time on 2 lane roads that made the trip feel longer. The tickets are for specific times so we picked a time that supposedly had the most ticket availability and therefore less crowded but that ended up not being the case (not that we went 4 days before Christmas). I felt like it was bumper to bumper traffic all the way through. The light displays were pretty good but felt like there were spots where there were noticeable gaps. We prefer these drive through light shows that allow you to stay warm in the car. Now what Bull Run has that some of these others don't have is the carnival at the end. There are rides, all types of carnival food, petting zoo and camel rides. Stopped at the carnival to pick up some funnel cake for the family to munch on during the ride back home. Overall it was a good experience.

I couldn't understand what was being said. The words were poorly articulated. In the first 15 minutes, I understood fewer than 10 words. My wife left after 75 minutes. She had no interest in watching a series of men in battle connected by uninspiring dialogue.

Every single lane was occupied with groups of 8 or more. Some of these guys are true experts when it comes to bowling. I was very impressed by their dedication. Theres actually a certain decorum when it comes to high giving your teammates, which I am still learning. Thankfully the place had rental shoes in my size and everything about the experience was awesome. I ordered two big mugs of Bud Light, and we all shared a plate of nachos. I have to admit that I could use more practice when it comes to knowing down the line, but at least I wasn't at the point of embarrassing myself completely. Only about half of the balls ended-up in the gutter.

This is my first season bowling league in this center. Thursday morning 10 am. For the most part…read moreI am very satisfied with the service. However, this morning the service decided we were not important enough to deserve fresh lane conditions. We pay good money to have the expectation of having the lanes dressed prior to league bowling. If this is not an expectation of management then in my opinion there is a problem somewhere in the maintenance area.

Round 1 Arcade gets a lot of points from me in terms of variety. They have a massive selection of…read moregames, including a lot of really interesting Japanese style prize machines that were super fun and offered a unique challenge compared to standard claw machines (though they have plenty of the typical claw machines too). The Japanese style prize machines were definitely harder to win prizes from, but if you enjoy the challenge you'll find them very fun. They had some interesting games too that you don't typically see anymore, like an Initial D racing game and a ton of DDR machines. The arcade was very clean, and the staff was incredible. Super friendly, helpful, and constantly resetting and restocking the machines. Every staff member I interacted with was great and really on top of things. With all of that said, the biggest downside and the reason I will not be back is the cost. The games require a lot of credits per play, and many of them have extremely short playtimes, so you burn through your card extremely fast without even feeling like you've played much at all. This is especially true if you are trying for the plush prizes, since even the tiny keychain size plush machines come out to about $2.50 a play and only seem to payout every 2-3 tries. Even if you don't necessarily care about winning prizes the whole experience was so disappointing because it felt like we were blowing through our credits with barely any time to play since most of the games are incredibly short. Plenty of the games give you less than a minute of play time and cost $3-$4 to play. If you do care about prizes, the ticket redemption prize situation is pretty disappointing as well. The ticket costs for prizes are incredibly high, even after my husband hit a jackpot for 300 tickets we could barely afford anything at the gift shop. The ticket prize shop was huge, but when a tiny foam play sword costs 610 tickets it wasn't even fun to look through all of the potential winnings. Prizes weren't our main motivation for having an arcade date night, but when we were already feeling bummed from the lack of play time we actually got it really just felt like the icing on a terrible cake.

If I would have written this review only based on the morning check-in process, I would have…read moredescribed the event as being very disorganized. We arrived just after 10:00, since that's when VIP check-in started. At least there was supposed to be a VIP check-in. They were allowing everyone in at once through an unorganized line. One of the volunteers had a dog that was running around unleashed. The person who was supposed to be giving people wristbands was casually chatting with them despite the line. We noticed it seemed like most of the people working the event were volunteers. Once we got in, no one could tell us where anything was, including the wine tent, which was an entire purchase tier. There were any posted maps to help people navigate after the morning check-in, although some of the vendors helped us. The fencing had many gaps and was falling down, so the street was soon filled by random people without wristbands. Overall, the only beneficial part of purchasing the VIP wristband was the partially-covered seating that was fenced in. (However, even this area was way too small for all the people who had VIP wristbands and didn't provide nearly enough shade.) Despite the rocky start, the event improved throughout the day. The wine tent eventually opened--once they were able to figure out where all the wine was. There were plenty of vendors for beverages, food, and local items. The music area was a lot of fun, and they even had a great karaoke setup later in the day. There were lots of great people there, and we even made some new friends. We ended up staying for almost seven hours, although we did pop into Not Your Average Joes for a break and a meal. We also used a Lyft so we didn't have to worry about driving after drinking, but there's lots of parking surrounding the area. While I would be interested in visiting the festival again, I really hope they get everything more organized for the check-in process. I would also think twice about the VIP package, since the price increase wasn't justified by what they were offering.

We have a rescue Bichon Frise who is afraid of everything so we thought this would be a good place for him to be around other dogs. (Our poor guy was so nervous he didn't even eat any of the free treats!!) There were SO MANY FREEBIES!!!!!!!!!! Each tent was giving away something and I am a sucker for freeeeeeee. We made out with lots of dog treats, frisbees, toys, poop bags, portable water bowl, balls, balloon shaped like a tick...and everyone was so friendly! We also entered ourselves into just about every raffle that was available. We were also able to get a lot of information about dog sitting, grooming, training, and pet hotel services. Such a perfect one-stop shop to get all the info we need. This is the perfect event for those looking to adopt a dog too - there were tons of puppies and adult dogs up for adoption. They even had a dog kissing booth! They had a really great band playing music too! We stayed for 4 hours - amazing! I can't wait to go back next year!
