Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

I went here with a group of co-workers to blow off some steam at the Laser Tag on a Tuesday afternoon. Price was $7.99 (+tax) for unlimited activities versus $7 for one Laser Tag session, so we cashed in and played three games! The downside to the Laser Tag is that you CANNOT select teams, or at least that's what the attendant told us even when we pleaded with him.
The place was empty and we were thrilled to have the place to ourselves.
We took an adult beverage break, where again, we had the entire bar to ourselves! Good table service provided.
Except for the blasting music and video game noise, we had a terrific time!

This place is great! SOOO much to do under one roof! We came for my son's 13th birthday, and had a fantastic time! Bowling, laser tag, ropes course, video games out the wazoo! The restaurant and bar area serves great food, Moses and Celeste tool great care of us and had no problems catering to my wife's vegan preferences! Will definitely be back!

Took my 8 and 6 year old boys to Main Event since they have been doing so well in school. They loved playing on all the video games. I recommend buying the time cards vs the ones you load money onto. The games are expensive so you'll burn $20 dollars per kid quick. The downfall of the time cards is that they don't get tokens for the prizes, but they can play any game they want.

I took my wife to Main Event for a date night. We wanted to play a little pool, have some drinks, and appetizers. Wow! It was crowded. We waited about 15 minutes to be noticed. Finally, we were, but when we were we had a great time. They were attentive. I cannot blame them due to the amount of people there.
We ordered our drinks, appetizers, and got a table. I will break it down:
Appetizers - We had the buffalo wings, and loaded fries. Those were cooked well. The wings and the sauce was a home home. They have different flavors for the sauce, but I prefer buffalo. The loaded fries were out of this world. Especially if you like cheese.
Drinks - cold, reordered, and tasty.
Pool Table - well, this is where they lose one. The tables are crowded together. Normally that is not a problem, but some people let there teenage boys loose. They leaned on our table when we were trying to shoot. The felt was ripped in a couple of places on our table, but you cannot blame them. When you have young people playing then you will have rips. Once you get your table, there isn't a time limit. So you can play all night if you want. You just have to pay by the hour. Not that expensive either.
There is ample parking, and the place is non-smoking. A big plus. There are two different places inside to get food to include a pizza place. It isn't bad. After 9PM on a Monday, it started clearing our which is nice.

If you have time to spend you must visit.

This is a great entertainment destination.

Bowling, shuffleboard, pool, high rope course, laser tag, video games, food and alcohol to get everyone covered.

Bowling is great and there are plenty of specials to make it easy. Also for frequent flyers there is. Way to get a free bowling ball.

Sit down relax and let the kiddos run and play.

One main entrance and easy to see who comes in and out.

If it is ugly weather outside, make it a day event. Great for parties
