The Explore Pass allows "free" entry and limited access to some of the activities--bumper cars, laser tag, ball fort, laser maze, and a 360° video game. The laser tag arena is much bigger than i thought it would be (looking from the outside). Fun Lab is big enough to house multiple fun activities, but not too large so watching kids is a nightmare. There are non-inclusive activities (more $$) that seem fun. There is a cafeteria, too. Pros: - Lots of cool activities - Indoors - Great deal if you get the Explore Pass Cons: -Blaine is somewhat put of the way for us

Visited the fun lab on a Sunday and was surprised at how empty the place was this was great for us…read moreand our first visit. We walked in unsure what to do and stood next to two staff at the front desk for a couple minutes before being greeted. We used our explorer pass from Groupon which allowed for a visit do try most of the attractions. A lot of stuff was broken (laser tag maze, laser tag vests, games, blowers in the ball area) or no staff were available to let us know how to use it. What we could use was fun the bumper cars and arcade were favorites for our five year old. We purchased an additional pass for the bumper cars he had to go again. Overall it was okay for the prices, but there are other options around the cities if you're willing to spend a little more.

We have been to Wow! Zone many times to bowl which is nice. However, recently my daughter requested…read moreto go to laser tag for her birthday. I was so surprised at how fun it was. We had a group of ten, all ages, which was the perfect amount of people to play with. The course is two levels, with countless nooks and crannies to hide and walk quickly (no running) through. It lasts ten minutes and we went on a week night so we were able to play several times with a minimal wait time.

It has everything for all ages. From bowling to electronics, it is amazing. A nice restaurant with…read moreexcellent food and music. Fun for everyone.

Rare is it that I leave reviews but this place is a hidden gem worth finding…read more Tucked away in a little strip mall, this place might look unassuming from the outside, but step in and you'll find a whole world of fun waiting for you. Between the classic pinball machines, well-kept pool tables, and the laid-back vibe, it's the perfect spot for a date night. The owner is genuinely one of the kindest people you'll meet and is clearly passionate about every machine and every detail of the experience. You can tell he really cares about keeping the place running smoothly and making sure everyone has a good experience. It's rare to find a spot that's this chill, authentic, and just plain fun. Whether you're into billiards, pinball, or just hanging out somewhere low-key with good energy, this place absolutely delivers. Best part of the night is the adorable shop puppy "Snowflake" who will challenge you to a game of tug-of-war. Would most definitely go again, but will make sure to bring cash next time as it is a (reasonably priced) cash only spot.

Tables recently redone, both cushions and felt. All was good. Pricing seemed reasonable. Owner…read morefriendly.

He Said: What a wonderful spot for all kinds of different…read moreentertainment. I could write down all the activities that are avaliable, but then my post would be far too long! All entrants pay an admission fee (kids under 5 years are free), and all video games, kids rides, and older-style games are free to play. Mini golf and some other activities are Ala carte. There is street parking and an underground parking lot, but, on weekends, parking can be tough to find. There is a cafe to purchase food. Options are flatbreads, baskets, tacos, and more. The food quality is pretty good, but pricey. I get it. The place probably has large overhead costs, so a business needs to make its margins. There is also a beverage wall with various kinds of drinks (mostly-all (?) alcoholic), which are self-pour. I forgot to take photos. Trust me when I say the place is very unique and is great to check out. Pros: - Great place to bring kids - The older-style games are very amusing Cons: - Food is on the pricier side

I was visiting the area and the suggestion was go to Can Can. I was like, what the heck is that? It…read moreis a mind trip, literally. It is located in an old warehouse and it is filled with so much noise, colors, and visual effects that I was just bewildered at first. It was like ADHD on fire, squirrel, but then look at that, wait squirrel! Let's start with the biggees- $17 entrance fee and you can do whatever you want! It is an exceptional value. Golf is in addition and obviously food and drinks are separate. I have been to venues/places that have free games and many of them, but not to the caliber of this place due to the era of some of the items. There were games from so long ago, I had no idea that they even existed at that time. It was fun to see everything and try out original type games! I was like a kid in a candy store for hours! There is an area where you can shoot balls with high pressure and even put someone in the glass case to hit! That was fun, stuck the hubby in there immediately, he deserved it! Easy with drinks as well, card that goes over the filling area and you choose your beer with the card and keep on moving! A full bar is also available. There is a stage as well, so many things to keep you busy. Mini golf was a wait so we did not do it on that day, but I do plan to go back! PROS: Old games, seriously old games, so much fun everything is paid for with your entrance fee (except golf/food/drinks) Easy to get a beer with a card and your wristband Full bar Stage 80s games, newer games, even carnival type games CONS: Parking can be a pain in the butt, but there is outside across the street parking as well as under the building parking. Just take your time, it is worth it. Would I go again, you bet your mama I would. Have a great time, enjoy everything and take time to see, squirrel, the many ways this place is fun for every age!

Headed to Dueling Pianos special event at Shakopee Bowl!…read more Large, dedicated parking lot available! The interior is absolutely sports bar/bowling alley vibes, but hey, you kinda expect that!! Our server was super on top of things, even with a large party and changing table locations throughout the night! Typical draft beer, single mixer cocktails, etc. I shouldn't expect a Minnesota bar to be able to make a Wisconsin Old Fashioned, but they absolutely missed the mark on that one when I ordered one. Stick to the normal drinks, and you'll be just fine!!

1-star directly because of the ridiculous "no water bottles" policy…read more * Water comes from moldy soda machine spout * Only gave us a single water pitcher for family of 15 people bowling across 3 lanes * Water was empty in first 5 minutes. Waitress never came back to refill water during entire 1 hour bowling session. 99% of other establishments (including bowling alleys) allow people to bring in their own water! My best guess is alcohol drinkers ruined this for people looking to simply bring their own water in. They probably hide liquor in water bottles and thus Shakopee Bowl makes a knee jerk decision which negatively impacts non-alcohol drinking customers. I won't come back in until this policy is reverted or fixed.

Saturdays are for relaxing, unwinding, & having fun (maybe some of all)! While at Mall of America,…read moreI was excited to visit this arcade. It was okay. Not horrible, but definitely not great. Price was fair: $30 for 180 credits (most games were between 4 and 10 credits). I loved that they had a gargantuan PAC Man game... what a throwback BUT, the place needed to be deeply cleaned, ac was not on (or at least it felt like that), employees were very unapproachable, & three games did not work (even though credits were taken). Won't be returning.

You really have to know your coupons and your Groupon's to be able to walk out of here feeling like…read moreyou got a fair deal. It was a late Sunday afternoon and I was looking to take two teens and a five-year-old bowling. $7.50 per person - per game - plus mandatory shoe rental at six dollars per person to include the five-year-old. It all adds up. The bitter berry on my cake is the fact that I paid $35 for an appetizer sampler that would've cost half elsewhere - was COLD when it came out along with the nachos. Mind you the place might have been a little understaffed but they were trying. Two games of bowling, shoes, nachos, app sampler, pop drinks, plus a tip was over $200 as a walk in on a Sunday... is that what it costs now!!!? It was okay, I'd try again but I'd be super mindful on what time I'm coming in and ask upfront what total costs will be. Maybe eat a meal elsewhere. Besides that it seemed okay for what it was. Trendy decor and tons of screens for young and old humans to be entertained by.

Bowlero Lakeville Rocks for Birthday Parties!…read more We just had the BEST 10th birthday party for our son Jaycen at Bowlero Lakeville this past Saturday! They reserved 3 bowling lanes for our group of 17 kids and a few adults, which was perfect. Food & Drinks: We opted for their party package and it was fantastic. The chicken tenders, fries, pizza, hot dogs, chips & salsa, and chocolate chip cookie cake were a huge hit with the kids (and adults!). There was also unlimited soda (Pepsi products) which kept everyone happy and hydrated. Amazing Staff: A huge shoutout to Felicia, the General Manager, and Jenna, the Event Manager. They were both phenomenal! Felicia was on top of everything, making sure our party ran smoothly. We were so impressed to see her helping Jenna clean up after the party - that kind of leadership doesn't go unnoticed! She was incredibly friendly and truly made Jaycen's birthday special. Both Felicia and Jenna checked in with us constantly to make sure we had everything we needed - they were on point! Fun for Everyone: The kids even got arcade game cards loaded with funds to play with, and Felicia and Jenna encouraged them to enjoy both bowling and the arcade games. They were incredibly patient with all the excited boys running around. Taking it Home: After the party, Jenna helped us gather all the leftover food and provided boxes so we could take it home (seriously, enough food for days!). Overall Experience: This was an absolute slam dunk of a birthday party! Felicia's management and Jenna's event coordination made it such a success. Felicia absolutely deserves recognition for her fantastic leadership, and Jenna for her excellent service. They were both amazing and so easy to work with. Thank you, Bowlero Lakeville! P.S. This Bowlero location seems to have really improved since our last visit. We will definitely be back and will encourage friends to host their birthday parties and even events here!!
