This review is strictly for a Kids Bowling Birthday Party in the Z Lounge…read more Totally worth what we paid! Our youngest turned 5 and we wanted to throw him an extra special birthday party with friends. We've done private room bowling parties before and they're so great for enjoying time with other families and kids. You have a sectioned off private area so kids can run around and play and adults can relax and chat knowing the little ones can't escape easily. This was a 10/10 party! We paid for: 20 kids to bowl for 3 hours in the Z Lounge, endless soft drinks for 2 hours, 5 large 1 topping pizzas for the 20 kids and then adults had leftovers. We let the adults know it was a party for kids only to bowl and we'd have drinks and pizza for the kids and the adults were welcome to order food and drinks with a waiter that came to and from the room often. We also kept the $200 in arcade money and 20 ride/attraction passes for our kids instead of sharing them with the kids that came to the party. Our kids had an amazing time using those at a later date. It was totally worth it for everyone to have an amazing time and not have to host a party in our home. Also, shout out to Jules who helped us during the birthday party- she is amazing!! Thanks Wahooz Bowling Alley!

You were given a certain amount of time and when it was up, you had to go ask for more time. There was a chance that you would have to go on a waiting list. They were busier than in New Years Eve. The bowling sitting area and floor was dirty from food making it slippery and I actually fell on my first ball. We ordered fries and a pretzel. Both were good except we didn't receive the fry sauce I ordered and we were not given any napkins or ketchup. I went and asked for both. I took the fry sauce as a loss. Games have become way over priced at $1.50 each. Plan to spend money and go in a day where there is a deal to make it worth your while.

We were guests at a birthday party and the woman in the blonde wig made us super uncomfortable…read moremultiple times. I hope the owners can see this & care about adjusting in the future. I looked at their birthday party packages and they are definitely overpriced compared to other kid friendly places that host birthday parties. The lady with the blonde wig definitely yelled several times and yeah, the soda is served in mouthwash cups. I did see a lot of reviews about how people aren't allowed to skate fast or do tricks but I definitely watched people skate fast & do tricks which was the one thing that looked fun and fine for everyone. Again, I hope the owners care about improving the experience but it will be several years before I think about letting my kids come back. & if the owners don't care, I hope this review helps other parents make an informed choice before booking a party or event!

My Hubby stumbled upon an ad for this place, while grabbing a bite to eat at a downtown restaurant…read more On a whim, we decided to check it out for a date night. We called ahead and reserved 2 spots. Upon arriving and understanding the set up, I would strongly encourage reservations. There are a limited number of stations, 1 person per station, and the average person rents a station for a hour. This is a virtual reality arcade. Meaning you put on virtual reality goggles, hold special controllers and play different types of video games. As it was our first visit, we were given a full tutorial on the rules and how to operate the equipment. Once geared up, we were put into a tutorial and then guided on how to play some fun, easy games to get a feel for the equipment. The employees were also able to talk to us through a headset and tell us how to navigate and troubleshoot when we got stuck. I have to say, I was blown away by the whole experience. It's like you are literally in the game. Like you got teleported into another reality. After we played for awhile, we were shown how to pair up and play together in a game. Next thing I know, we are working together to take out cyborgs. I could physically see my husband's character and we could talk to each other on our headsets. Soooooo cool! I was ducking down behind barriers, shooting from a kneeling position, jumping, you name it and my character would mimic the behavior. It's actually quite the workout, if you really get into it. We loved it so much, we brought family visiting to give it a go. They too thought it was mind blowing. They charge per hour, per booth. So you could share a booth with someone and switch off if you want. Personally, I think a hour goes by in a flash. Some people do experience some level of motion sickness. I was worried I might, but didn't have any issues. It's just quite a trip for your eyes and brain to process, which can lead to feeling queasy. I did feel a little disoriented for about an hour afterwards. But nothing too bothersome. They do have an age limit of 7, which is actually lower than other arcades, I am told (12 is the norm). It has to do mainly with height. The equipment is programmed at a height requirement. If you are under the minimum it can't pick up your moves properly. I would also say, the controls are a bit bulky and have multiple buttons to operate. A younger person may have some frustration trying to operate these fluently. Totally worth the experience! Give it a go!

Big Al's is a fun, all-in-one spot--bowling, arcade, bar, sports bar/restaurant, and event rooms…read more Definitely gives Main Event vibes (if you're from the Midwest/southern states). It's a great atmosphere to watch a big game, and the overall look and feel is pretty on par for Idaho. The food is just okay, nothing super special, but the service is pretty great for such a large, busy place. On top of that, its location is within the Village, so you're in walking distance to many more other shops as well.

We were on the end lane, which was nice for a little extra space. The pins stopped resetting partway through, but the server had mentioned that issue might happen and maintenance came quickly to fix it. I ordered a margarita, it was okay, though I wish it came in the glass shown on the menu and had more salt on the rim. The place itself is super spacious with an arcade, a sports bar full of big TVs, and plenty of options if you want to host an event. The service was friendly and attentive throughout. We paid about $110 for an hour and a half on the VIP lane plus four shoe rentals, which felt fair for the experience. Big Al's has a fun, party-style ambiance and is located right in The Village, so you can walk around afterward to enjoy the shops and restaurants. Overall, a really fun night out!
