    We popped in here one evening with some friends to check out what this House of Axe is all about…read more When you first walk in there is a counter set up where you can let them know what you'd like to do. So, for example they have about 8 or 10 lanes for throwing axes .... you'll need to sign a waver (watch some youtube videos and you'll understand why - but don't let that prevent you from going). Brief instruction and you're off and throwing. A few different techniques, two handed, one handed .... then it just get's more complex. The key - wrists have to stay straight, if they turn it'll put an angle on the axe blade and add a level of difficulty in getting it to stick. Once you're done chopping some wood, they have a few arcade games, pool tables, a basketball game - and a few other things. Kind of a fun way to spend a couple hours and a little bit different then all the other normal stuff around. If you're looking for something a little different, check these guys out. Good fun!

    Fun...food...amazing staff! This place has it all! My friends and I had the best time last weekend…read moreand cannot wait to go again. If you are looking for a fun night (or day!) out please check out Lagatha's. Axe throwing is a blast and the food was delicious! We played some pool too and will definitely check out the vintage arcade games next time we go. Plus the fact that they are BYOB makes it an affordable night on the town! 5++++ stars!!

    Do I recommend mini golf for kids 6 and under? No. But we did it anyway. And it was fun outside the…read morechaos. The course is nicely maintained. Looks like plenty people come here for parties. After, we played in their arcade. It was really fun. Felt clean, too. When redeeming our tickets, we had to split 157 among three of my kids which got them one small toy each. The staff was kind enough to throw in a ball for free.

    Big-Time Entertainment has amazing staff, but the pricing and game quality are way too expensive…read more The cost per play is sky-high, and credits vanish fast on short, low-quality games. It's significantly more expensive than Dave & Buster's, which offers much better value and promotions. Compounding this, many games are constantly broken or malfunctioning, which is unacceptable at these premium rates. Even buying credits is frustrating; the kiosks only highlight rigid options like $10 for 80 credits instead of displaying a full, transparent price list so families can budget effectively. Management should introduce half-price Wednesdays and a summer season pass to provide better value. The best part is definitely the workers--they are incredibly kind and accommodating to guests with vision loss. However, placing the best prizes, like the big colorful balls, exclusively inside visual claw machines excludes blind students. They waste money on games they can't equitably play. Thanks to the staff's sided help, I was able to get one, but these items should be redeemable via tickets at the counter so everyone has a fair shot. The great staff deserves a venue with a fairer, more accessible pricing model.

    Our work group did a team building event at Activate. We had a ball!…read more This venue is located in Park South Plaza on Highway 31 in Vestavia Hills, next to Taziki's. Our manager paid for us to play 60 minutes. Before we went, we had to complete a waiver online and choose our game name. There were restrooms inside where you could change clothes (cause I heard if you are competitive, you would sweat a lot). They also have lockers - activated by a wrist key fob - so you could put your purse and keys somewhere safe. It's a dark area full of arcade rooms (maybe about 10 or 12 rooms in total). Each room has several games from which you can choose to play. Our group of 12 people were split into 3 teams of 4. The front desk attendant gave us all a wrist fob that we had to activate with our game account. The attendant explained how to play. Choose the game, all players scan their fob, then wait until the current team playing in the room exits before you go in. Scores are based on how well you do. If there is no one waiting outside the room after the game completes, you can move to the next level and continue playing. My team's first couple of games went so wrong and we questioned ourselves and our lives many times while playing. However, we got the hang of it and enjoyed ourselves so much! My favorite game was in the "Grid" room, where they called a color and the team had 5 seconds to get to a space with that color. So fun! If you are looking for a fun place to "be a kid again", this is the place to go!

    So much fun for everyone! Every game I played was great! There are so many rooms so if one is busy…read morethere was always something else open. The time flew by!
