Great for kids, the arcade has a variety of ticket-winning games and standard arcade games. The staff is pretty helpful and nice but don't expect too much in machine generosity. Sometimes you win, mostly the arm loses grip. But that's to be expected. There does seem to be a large variance in game prices though, with some just a bit expensive and some having you scratch your head. Don't expect deals here but be realistic about what it costs to play games here and you'll be ok.

What you might not realize that some of the pricing for a mall on Oahu it's surprisingly reasonable. This is not gourmet food but standard pub fare which is great for a quick stop when you are hungry. Don't expect much dinner conversation as it is quite loud. I saw comments about service but my experience was fine.

Let me just say sometimes a picture is NOT worth a thousand words. I mean if you love waiting in lines to play games, then this is the place for you. If you love not being able to bring drinks from one area to the next, then Manifest/Royal is perfect. They're conjoined though so idk why weren't able to bring drinks around, it's weird. I'll be leaving the same review for both. The place wasn't even all that busy when we were in and the security inside kept asking people to move against the wall? Likeeee we're on the dance floor and it's not even busy. We kinda felt like sheep??? Idk just an overall weird vibe for what should be a fun saturday night.

Lots of tables to cater for large groups and a bunch of dart machines available -- you do have to pay to play. There was no set menu and the bartender was nice to let us know that if we shoot her a name of a drink she can make it for us. I got a Midori Sour and it was perfect! Not super strong and more of a melon flavor. Price was decent at $15. I'd say make sure you know the names of a couple drinks beforehand. They did have a couple of specials with one being an "18 year old Filipino Girl"....Okay.... A bit of a weird crowd though with a couple creepy men, so come in a large group! There were a good amount of people in their 20-30s, but the ambiance wasn't giving after some instances.

It was located in an unnoticeable building and the store wasn't noticeable either, but they had a good crowd inside playing. More importantly, they had a nice selection of both sealed product and individual packs and cards. Prices were reasonable, especially in this market. Best of all the people who ran the shop were friendly and helpful. SELECTION: Pokemon and Magic the Gathering are plentiful here. They had more than most shops and a good selection of Japanese Pokemon. Sadly no Japanese MTG in stock, but a really good selection otherwise. SERVICE: Excellent! Very helpful staff and friendly. Definitely would shop here if we lived in the area. COST: Reasonable. The service makes it even more worthwhile.

We've…read morebeen here twice with our 6 kids and it's always been younger children playing which is a relief from the other location which allows older children and teens to participate on the second floor to which they do not always stay. The parking is good. It's fenced in which may seem suspicious but I'm sure it's an attempt to protect its customers and the business. This location had everything operating during our visit. The staff is very helpful and accommodating and the business is very clean. It's remarkably tidy in fact! Kudos to the staff. My kids enjoyed the slides the most. There is a lot for kids and toddlers to do here. There is one slide that I was concerned about where it's seemingly a straight drop but it's not but still my heart skips a beat when I think of a smaller child attempting to slide down it. So be warned. We visit during off hours where we nearly get the place to ourselves! And for anyone wondering, they do offer military discount! I would highly recommend this Keiki Kingdom Location above all.

I spent $98 to bring my three kids to Keiki Kingdom on Beretania for two hours, and unfortunately…read morethe experience felt like a bait-and-switch. The lack of customer service started before we even entered the play area. At check-in, I asked for specific sock sizes for my children and was met with complete indifference. It set the tone for the entire visit. Many of the attractions and play areas advertised were either closed, broken, incomplete, or poorly maintained. The zipline course was closed for the first hour of our visit. The train table had zero trains. The princess play area was nearly empty, with no costumes and very few toys. The play kitchen was missing most of its accessories, with only a couple drawers containing play food, and the SMEG play refrigerator was broken. The overall maintenance was disappointing. Several play areas felt neglected, and some equipment appeared to have been out of service for quite some time rather than temporarily unavailable. There were even broken claw machines and other unused equipment sitting around the facility, giving parts of the space the feeling of a toy graveyard rather than a premium children's play center. The facility simply did not reflect what is advertised online. What frustrated me most was the lack of staff engagement. My child became stuck inside the jungle gym, and when I asked a staff member for help, she looked at me and walked away. Whether it was a language barrier, lack of training, or simply not caring, there was no attempt to assist. There were also strange setup choices that made the experience worse. A speaker for the projector was mounted directly above the play kitchen area, blasting audio into children's ears while they were trying to play there. For nearly $100, I expect a clean, well-maintained facility with functioning attractions, stocked play areas, and staff who are willing to help families. Instead, we found broken equipment, closed attractions, empty play stations, and indifferent customer service. I don't mind paying premium prices for a great experience. I do mind paying premium prices for an experience that feels neglected and significantly different from what is advertised. The biggest disappointment wasn't that one or two things were broken. It was that broken attractions, empty play areas, disengaged staff, and obvious maintenance issues all existed at the same time.

I went the last week, and they had Street Fighter 6 on the PlayStation 5, so I had to jump on that. The facility itself is very clean, with numerous gaming setups on PC and consoles (switch, Xbox, PlayStation, you name it). I only go there for the Fight nights on Friday/Saturday, and the price is $6 from 6pm-11pm (quite a deal!). The usual lan cafe snacks/drinks can also be found here (candy, cup noodles, energy drinks) ranging from $2-$4, I believe. For those coming from out of town, this place is hard to beat!

This was our first time trying a VR (virtual reality) escape room. It was fun! There are definitely…read morethings you can do in VR that would be difficult-to- impossible to do in an in-person escape room. I was able to wear my glasses under the mask part, but if you have large frames you might need to take them off or wear contacts. The backpack part wasn't overly heavy as the chest strap helps to evenly distribute the weight. You also end up having noise cancelling headphones placed overtop so you can hear background ambiance, some music and sound effects, and your teammates clearly, and hold plastic controllers that secure to your wrists with straps that have triggers to pull so you can control your hands to pick stuff up. I get motion sickness easily but I had zero problems with the VR. We played the dragon tower room, which is a 6/10 difficulty. Having played a few other (in person) escape rooms this was easy for us and we finished with almost 20 minutes remaining. We chose the lower difficulty because we figured it might take us awhile to get used to the VR, but it was actually quite easy to manage and we would definitely pick a higher difficulty room next time. We had 4 players - 2 adults, one teen, one senior - and we all had fun. Our biggest problems were bumping into each other and having trouble manipulating objects due to lack of spacial awareness. We also did the in-person Egyptian temple escape room they have and that was 7,000 stars out of 5. Absolutely gorgeous, puzzles that were challenging but fun to figure out, and fully physically immersive. I did need to use the flashlight on my phone in a couple of places. SO much fun and if you are just doing one room that is the one I recommend. But the VR was also a lot of fun and we will probably be back to do another VR room! They will be closing soon due to lease issues and will hopefully find another location!! Until they close they have a special on their website where M-F you can get 50% off of games if you have 4 players or more. They do have Kama'aina rates. There are bathrooms available (use it before you start!), and free cups of cold water available in the lobby. On-street parking. You either have to walk up a flight of stairs or there is a (rickety, terrifying, small, but so far safe) elevator - the door closes super fast and you have to push the open door button not just try to physically hold open the door for others, but that is a fault with the building, not with Chambers Hawaii.
