If you're into questing and escape rooms, this is for you. High tech single room challenges from physical to mental challenges, you and your teammates try to accomplish 1 to 3 star challenges without failing. If you fail, you exit the room and can try again. Each room does not take longer than average 4-5 minutes. They're always adding new rooms maybe around a half year basis, but it's always fun as a team or group event.

We had all day passes, so we were able to check back in and continue our play adventures! The entire area is comprised of well thought out human puzzles and timed challenges such as staying off the "hot lava" etc. Service seems friendly and involved. It's clean and has so many challenge rooms to choose from with different activity levels, too! I wish more cities had places like this, because playing is so important, especially for families to do together. We had lots of fun with our youngest granddaughter who is 5! Will definitely return!!

We had an awesome time here for my school-aged kids' birthday. While we love coming here in…read moregeneral, the birthday party was particularly fabulous and the focus of this review. It's well organized and there is a small area and a large area right by the entrance, flanking the ticket redemption area, the drink counter, and the employee desk. Great location for it. There's two flatscreen TVs in the large area and one flatscreen TV in the small one. Ability to turn off/on lights. We were able to fit high 20's number of kids in the small party area. Service and coordination was particularly great. Megan was our lead person, and she provided excellent concierge service. We were frankly surprised how great she was and attentive. We just assumed we'd be in for some chaos but nope, guided us, paced us, and was very attentive. You bring your own drinks and cake, and they have pizza baked in house. The pizza is really good. Wow. Move over boring kid birthday pizza. They take the cake back for you and cut it up and serve it. They clean up. They help with pizza distribution. They wheel in and out the carts with gifts (and coats this time of year) into and out of the party area. So if you want to stay around longer after the party area reservation, you're welcome to and they've got multiple carts to keep your things. The distribution of some of the credits on cards before and after was great. And the A or B on the cards of the kids to divide up the laser tag was great. And our kid got to do both times since it was their birthday. The area and place/setting is fun. Lots of different types of games. Everything was working -- a rarity for an arcade. There's better or worse use of credits, of course, as there is everywhere. I loved the variety though. There were electronic games, claw games, multiplayer games, violent and non-violent, physical sport/skill games (basketball shooting, ski ball, drop ball), and both ticket earning and non-ticket earning games. The redemption area has a large variety of choices and they're displayed well to enable kids to make choices without long queues. The laser tag area is surprisingly large and very fun for the kids. It's gotta be 2-3x larger than the rest of the arcade. The price here was great. Lots of folks will seek outer suburbs of Boston for good prices but all in this was a steal compared to some other options. And the other families loved it. Kids were raving about it through the school week, and multiple people said they're going to bring their families back here again soon and many for birthday parties.

Is it just me or is the pizza here actually pretty amazing? i have only been here for birthday…read moreparties but I am realizing that the pizza here that is made in house is different from other places and for birthday party pizza it is way better than delivering it into wherever the venue is. It's rectangular and super thick and i didn't think much of it until my son wolfed down two slices so fast i was not believing. so I had one. and i tried another weird pie called CBLT or something and it looked scary drizzled with ranch but crazy good! I think im just going to make excuses to come here again to try the pizza...the arcade games are definitely not really for little kids but pretty fun for older kids and grownups but it's nice that even if you have teensy kid points you can still get decent toy prizes and candy.

Fun little free museum and you can learn a little bit about the history of Bostons water supply!…read more The educational videos and demos about the engines powering the aqueducts were really interesting. The engines themselves are also very cool and quite a bit larger than i expected. I was surprised as well that there was a little section on the second floor which allows you to see the top view of the engines as well as the steeple. Fair warning that the museum isn't air conditioned except the top levels. You can also join a tour which I believe costs money, but this allows you to go into the engines and explore.

It gets quite crowded so consider going early and not on a holiday or school vacation week. Also, my kid is only 3 so I went with her throughout the playspaces. There are often older kids who tend to be less than mindful of younger kids. Finally, their new claw machines are a complete rip off. They are able to "grab" but as soon as they start lifting, the stuffed animals fall. This happened across multiple machines that we tried and I watched several kids experience the same.

When we arrived, there was already a line but we were able to get in for the first round of golf. Like others have said, it's pretty small in there but Lots of things to look at and the monsters were pretty cool looking but not in a super scary way. Each of the holes had different levels of difficulty but overall pretty easy. The arcade was very tiny, but had some fun games for the Littles. None of them were broken like other reviews have said. They games do not accept quarters you have to buy a card. The staff was very friendly and helpful and had tons of patience especially the person working the token redemption/prize area. By the time we left, the place was pretty packed so it's probably a good idea to get there right when they open. Playing one round of golf plus $10 in video games lasted about an hour and a half. Plenty of parking in the private lot. There is a small table out front.

Super fun place. Honestly fun for all ages. My husband and I went on a Friday when they opened and…read moreit was perfect timing. We practically had the place to ourselves. No need to feel rushed.

While planning the party, Jam Time set themselves apart from other locations with their price transparency right on their website, as well as consistent communication leading up to the party date so we knew how to plan for the day. The indoor space has a wide variety of toys and equipment for a range of ages, the highlights were the bounce house, the play structure with multiple slides, and the train table. They had a ton of ride-on toys and pretend play toys, as well as a dedicated area for younger babies to play and crawl around. All of the kids in our party had a blast! It was a shared space with the public so there were lots of other families there but it didn't feel overcrowded. Ari and Zane did an excellent job managing our party from start to finish. They took all the food we brought in and set it up in the party room in an organized arrangement, and they communicated well with us parents so we knew the general timeline of playtime, eating, and the cake presentation. JT the Moose came out at the end of the party to greet all the kids, he was a hit! At the end, they packed up all the food and cake for us to take back home. Highly recommend Jam Time for your birthday party needs or for just burning off some toddler energy!

You wear these silly-looking helmets that tracks your movements (which end up being part of the fun). The new Mini Game Box Party was a blast--super competitive, quick to pick up, and great for almost all ages. We had 2 teenagers and 4 adults where we had the most unforgettable experience together. They also offer the infamous Squid Game experience, which is more challenging and features fewer games, but they're true to the originals from the show. While fun, I definitely preferred the Box Party for the variety and fast-paced energy. Games range from two 30 or one 60 minutes. It is a bit pricey at $35 per player for an hour, but the $100-per-box holiday deal is a much better value for up to 6 players. Overall, a really entertaining group activity inside the Natick Mall amongst other entertainment such as Level 99 and Dave & Busters.

Each game can be played for 30 minutes to an hour. It's $25 for 30 minutes and $35 for an hour. We tried the Party Box one where we played mini games against each other, kinda like Mario Party. Then we did the AI Escape Room was very pretty fun. You can buy drinks there if you want. There are 6 rooms available. The bathrooms are in the back and very clean. Overall, this was a fun unique experience that I would recommend for families with kids or couples for dates!
