We love this place! It was so fun! We were given 75 minutes to explore the games and we loved every minute of it! The changing areas and lockers were helpful. All of the employees were super nice. Our activating wristbands worked well. There are a bunch of game choices with various levels. Scores are kept and high scores with stars can be earned. It's impressive! Our favorite games were Hoops, Lasers, Trench, Climb, and Hide but all of them were awesome! I played with my two teenagers. We easily formed a team of three but some games we added two others, which was great too! We will definitely return! I'm so glad we have this place in the 'Ville! read more

Price is a bit high, but it's worth it for 75 minutes of activities. We went twice this past weekend. Our group was completely worn out and drenching in sweat after the 75 minutes. I enjoyed that the games combine both brain and brawn. Things I wish they'd improve on: -There were several groups (maybe 4-5 total). We found that we spent some time waiting on rooms. There definitely needs to be more activities. -The star system was not clearly explained. We discovered at the end of the second visit that you only acquire a star for each new level. Repeats do not give a star. -Some of the rooms did not have clear explanations. "Hide" in particular. read more

This place was so so so much fun!! Definitely worth the drive from Indy. This place is great for kids (9/10 yr olds) and teens and adults! Make reservations! ($25/person for 75 min) It gets crowded. You get a wrist band when you check in. You use the wristbands to check into each game room. There are 11 game rooms. There are touch screens that tell you how to play the game inside. You can pick cooperative mode or competitive. You also can pick the level of the game you want to play. (Hint: start with level 1 ) The games take about 2 minutes. You exit and can either get back in line to play the same game room again or move to another. Oh and each gameroom has more than one game to play in it!! So much fun! Your time is activated once you scan for your 1st game. That means your time is ticking even while you're waiting which to me is a bummer. Only other feedback I'd offer is the explanation to some of the games is a little misleading or could be written a bit better. Nothing big. This place is definitely 5 stars! read more

Activate Games - Christmas Break day trip! So much fun, we'll be back! - Arcades Near Me - Louisville, Kentucky

We had the best time at Activate Games! The wristband system is easy to manage. I love that each game room has different options. I also love that there are different levels. Some of the games require more physical exertion than others so it's a great option for groups. read more

Activate Games - Entrance - Arcades Near Me - Louisville, Kentucky

Five stars with confidence! We had a great time- 75 minutes was the perfect amount of time to try every room and play through a few levels of our favorites. The games were intuitive but challenging. Be sure to wear sneakers and come ready to have a great experience! read more

What a fun place for a wide range of ages! Took a group of 6, ranging in age from 13 to 70. Teams are a minimum of 2 and maximum of 5 people in a room, but don't get caught up in "teams," as you can switch off throughout your time there. Some games are more physical than others, so you can choose your level and what room you want to enter. Upon arrival, you are given wrist bands to keep your scores and monitor your time, as well as one wristband for a pretty decent sized locker for purses, phones, coats, etc. That was great, as you don't want to carry anything while playing a game. Major word of advice: WEAR SHORT SLEEVES!! Even if it's cold outside, your body temperature will rise going from room to room and participating in the games. As a 40-something, I was good in long pants and short sleeves, but younger kiddos may even want to wear shorts? It's like an hour long gym class with a new activity every 4-5 minutes. read more

what a fun way to spend the evening! we had a triple date at activate and had a great time with our friends! my inner child was thrilled as we experienced this modern day arcade with a variety of games! we paid for an hour and didn't even make it through every game. if you have kids they will love it! read more

So much FUN!!! This takes VR to the next level. You will be running, throwing, and laughing the whole time. But wear good shoes and be prepared to sweat! Highly recommend wish there were more of these!!! read more

What a fun experience! Staff was super friendly and helpful for our first visit! Love that lockers were included! It was very clean - but did look like there were a few things needing replaced. We are a super active family - and this was perfect for us!!!! We went with our two girls (11 & 13). They had no issues playing the games! My only complaint is the temp! Air needs to be on HIGH! We will be back!!! But, will wear shorts and a tank next time! haha read more

Found this place on Groupon and took advantage of the amazing deal. We had SO much fun! The staff was prompt and explained all of the game rooms! We had 75minutes of arcade time which was plenty enough time to stop by each of the rooms for the game challenges! This place totally brought out laughs, challenged us to think fast, and kept us active! Although I was with my sorors, I'd highly suggest this as a date night with you significant other OR, as corporate team building activity. It was perfect and I'll return forsure the next time i'm in the Louisville area! read more

This is such a great experience. They do not over crowd and we only had to wait for the people in front of us to finish. I take two teenagers and it makes you plan your move and work together. The more you go the better your incentives are. First time we get waterbottles. It's a great workout, but your having so much fun that you hardly realize it, until the next day! The staff is very courteous and helpful. This has become one of my favorite places to go! read more

My husband randomly picked this for something fun to do before we had to pick up our son. SO FUN! Be prepared to sweat so dress accordingly! Fun for family, friends, and quality (competitive) fun with your significant other. read more

Clean and well organized activity with many levels. It was a very positive experience for our granddaughters, ages 9-16, and their accompanying adults. Definitely see a return visit! read more

Great place to spend time with a small group of friends and find out just how out of shape you are!!! Physically and mentally challenging. You'll definitely need a sno-cone when you're done here. read more

This place is pretty cool. Cost $100 for four people for 75 minutes. That price includes access to a locker. There are about 10 separate rooms which have 2-4 different games. Make sure you don't wear warm clothes because you will sweat. read more

This is easily my new favorite place in town! I was able to go for a Yelp Elite event and we got an offer to come back at a discounted rate when we booked that night. I booked for winter break so that we could take my preteen nephews. They love it as much as I do. First you walk in and are greeted by staff at the desk. They check you in and give you a wristband for playing and then one for a locker. Then you head to some screens on the walls that you sign in on and create your profile. You activate the wristband on there and then are lead to the gaming area by another staff member who explains how it works. You have 75 minutes to run around, explore, and have fun. There are about a dozen different rooms that each have a number of different games with multiple levels to play. We had 5 people, which is perfect because that's the max allowed in each room. For each game there are instructions on how to play and when you go in, you play as a team to beat the level you have selected. If you beat the level, you have to exit. If you lose, you have the option to play again. The rooms either have lasers, rock climbing holds, light-up floors with sensors, laser guns, basketball hoops, rubber ball targets- so much to do! The whole time you are in the gaming area, you can unplug and just have fun. It's a great way to have an active game day/night instead of sitting around and playing games. We wanted to see if we could play every game in each room at least once, which I'm pretty sure we did. A tip for first timers- wear comfortable clothing and shoes that you can run and jump in. It gets hot in there when you're running around having fun! read more

I had so much fun at Activate games!!! And let me just tell you up front that it is quite active so where comfy shoes and clothing. With some of the games you may be crawling, running or climbing. Pros: - Keeps you moving - Variety of games - Secured lockers to place your items. You don't want the phone in your pocket during some of the games - Water station - Quick games so you can get your money's worth of games. Cons: - Additional players needed for some games. **You can go alone and link up with other players, but depending on you activity level you may want to go with your own friends. Can't wait to go back. Already pre-paid for another session. read more

Tried this as a Christmas surprise for my two kids and we had a blast! Walking in, the environment is so clean and pristine. They offer you a complimentary locker straight away so you don't have to worry about your belongings while you play. They only allow a certain number of people to play at a time, we made a Friday evening reservation and were very pleased that it wasn't crowded. It cost around $25 for about 1 1/2 hours of game time. A little pricey but well worth it. It beats poring money into the machines at a crowded place like Main Event! Some of the games are quite physically demanding so you will get HOT! I made the mistake of wearing jeans and a sweater. read more

When I was first told about Activate I figured it was going to be like an arcade, which I'm not really a fan of. Little did I know, it was more like a video game mixed with a gym membership! You end up really working up a sweat! I think this place has a lot of potential; the rooms have different difficulty levels (so you can replay them), there are already new rooms being planned, and they provide something a lot of places don't... lockers! I would say the only con (other than sweating!) Is it was hard to find... its attached to the mattress store! read more

I can't say enough good about this place! This was my most anticipated Yelp event. If you're active, competitive and love to have fun this is your place! We booked a return visit before we left but need to ask or wish they had a monthly membership. This is something I would definitely do on a regular basis. My favorite room is Trench but they're all great! So many different options and levels per room. Much more fun than going to the gym. Definitely worked up a sweat and make sure you wear cool and comfortable clothes. If you do all rooms you will be hiding, running, hopping and crawling. Highly recommending this to all my friends and family! read more

So much fun!!! Went for our anniversary with our 14 year old son (yeah, we're that romantic) and had a blast! Wear gym clothes because you are going to work up a sweat! The staff were super helpful and since we went midweek, we had the whole place to ourselves! Can't wait to go again! read more

Super easy to book a birthday party! No deposit required when booking. Great availability on dates and times

Such a fun place to go for just a date night or with your friend group! I have been to the Activate in Gatlinburg and this one and they are bot so much fun!! read more

I've been to Activate Games at least four times. The staff is friendly and helpful and the game rooms are clean and a lot of fun. Yesterday, one of the games wasn't functioning properly. The young man I spoke to immediately addressed the issue and had it working perfectly in a matter of minutes. The counter staff was also courteous and helpful. Highly recommend this business for an afternoon of fun. read more

What a cool place!!! Our family was visiting for the weekend and found this place on Yelp while looking for escape rooms. What a great find!!! Used a Groupon to save a lot off the regular prices. Lots of unique, fun, team-building games! Great way to spend time with the family, especially if they love being active and competitive! Great concept that I hope they bring to the Chicago suburbs someday! read more

We first went here for the time for a Yelp event and had such a fun time! There were 8 of us in our group and even though we had to split up to play the games (each game has a limit of 5 people) we still had a great time. It wasn't too crowded for a Saturday night at 8 o'clock either. The flow of the games is really nice, so if there's no one waiting to play the game you're in there's a replay option. Wait times were not long at all! My favorite game is the basketball hoops one, but all of them are a blast. The facility is really clean too. There's no food or drinks served there so we ate before we came. They have lockers for you to keep your stuff in as well. Overall, great experience and great price! We'll definitely be back again!! read more

So fun! Great that they have different challenge levels so everyone can enjoy it, even if they're not super-fit. We had a great time! Will definitely go again! read more

We decided to give this play another try last night since they have been open for a while now and I had such a fantastic time the first time around. We jumped into games and found ourselves getting a little frustrated that the equipment was failing and causing the game the forcibly run out of time to start. Trench stayed down almost the whole time due to issues with the targets. Hide wouldn't boot up upon entering and the lights shut off on us making us have to go out and reenter. Also want to mention that the wall buttons were worn down and it was frustrating when the game would not acknowledge selections while trying to get the words completed. But we stopped an employee who was extremely nice and they seemed prompt at wanting to address the issues, although some were not resolved in the duration of our play time. Now, comes my biggest pet peeve that really started grating my nerves during the evening. These are time specific games. The door locks behind you, tells you when to exit, and unlocks and signals the next group to go in. Pretty straightforward stuff. This was a busy, crowded, not to mention snowy Friday night. The masses were expected and wait times were not a problem. However, there were several groups of teenagers on NUMEROUS occasions, banging on the walls and doors, pulling at the locked doors and screaming at the players on the inside. We were screamed at to hurry up or get out. This makes for an unenjoyable time when you are put on edge by this. We were happy to leave before the end of our time slot and right after the Climb glitched on us forcing it to run out of time due to those technical issues. read more

I LOVE this place!!! I have grown children and we can all go together. We found it right before Christmas and have come back about a dozen times since. Everyone we bring also cannot wait to come back, so now we have everyone competing for points. The staff is Incredibly nice and they have been so great about allowing me to change times of my appointments when they can. Such a fabulous place!! read more

This place took me by surprise. It definitely requires some form of energy for certain room. My overall experience was amazing!!! The staff was super friendly and helpful. If you looking for something that's fun and exciting (indoors) this is the place. Definitely worth the money read more

Amazing. This was so fun and exciting. We went with 2 middle aged adults a 19 year old and a 17 year old and everyone had fun. It's challenging and not watered down which was much appreciated. Be prepared to work hard physically and mentally to beat the levels perfect for teens and adults. Clean throughout with nice lockers and friendly staff. read more

This place was really fun, the games were really easy to pick up but also got considerably hard as the levels went on, and didn't get boring. I must shout out the worker named Grayson, he taught us how to play the games and even jumped in for a round when we convinced him too. I would definitely recommend Activate and Grayson needs a raise . read more

This place was way more fun than I even imagined. Several different games and activities in each room. I went with my daughter, son and his girl friend. We worked up quite a sweat and had so much fun leveling up in some of the different rooms. We are already planning to go back next week. I could do this every day!!! Make sure that you wear active wear when you go and something not too loose because you may want to do the lasers and you will have to crawl and climb over. read more

SO MUCH FUN! We had a large group go, and easily were able to split into smaller groups for the different rooms. Usually no waiting time for the games, or very very minimal wait if a group was inside finishing the game. Recommend workout gear- worked up a sweat and got that heart rate up. We can't wait to go back! read more

We loved it! My kids all said this was probably their favorite activity of the week. The staff was great and it was fun for all ages. My youngest is 10 and the oldest is 17, we all enjoyed the activities and got a good workout. It is a fun activity that we could do no matter what the weather outside. We wish there was one closer to home, because we would definitely play again. read more

The place is awesome! All of the games are so much fun. It was a great way to bond with family and friends. I would go back every time I visit Louisville. You can get quite the workout if you play hard enough. read more

Place was so fun!! It had a really cool design and I loved the environment!! Definitely recommend with group of friends or family but with bigger kids!! It was clean and comfortable it was a great group activity!! Make sure to wear short sleeves because you will get hot running around doing the different activities. I loved the photo booth that was a nice touch!! Will definitely be back read more

It was super fun and entertaining I could go there for hours. 10/10 would recommend. It is good for all ages. It is like no other kinds of places. read more

So much fun! I have been to Activate twice now and it's been just as fun both times. There's an endless number of games and each game has multiple levels...If I had the energy, I'd play all day! Tucker, Evan, Zach, and Nate were super friendly and really the cherry on top of an amazing experience. read more

Wow - what a fun time! Make sure you meet Teddy, the GM, for full history of their business and plans for growth. Out 13th birthday party had so much fun we took another group back 5 days later. Great activity for adults as well! We will be frequent flyers! read more
