    Giraffe ride!
    Mel B.

    Came by at noon on our last day of our vacation. Since we frequently Chuck E. Cheese in San Diego, I wanted to check out VA Beach's Chuck E. Cheese. I only saw 1 worker working behind the counter when we came. She was working the register and prize counter. She was on the phone and I can hear her making arrangements for a party. She did say she was going to be with us in a moment. When she did help us, she was very friendly and had awesome customer service. She reminded me to download the app for extra points. She had awesome customer service. Thanks, Arianna. The place was very clean and I believe all the games were working. Since my kid is o. His fall break and we were on vacation, we pretty much had the place to ourselves. I think there were 4 other kids here today. This is the cleanest and best Chuck E. Cheese my son and I have been to. Very clean, great customer service and an overall good time for my son. We didn't get a chance to eat, but I'm sure food is great too!

    New stuff to do, and it's now extra clean!

    Look- it'll never be as amazing as when I was a kid because that show can't be beat- or REAL tickets or REAL tokens going into a machine but that's the past an we can't go back, right??? So, look to the future with this place! They just deep cleaned this place and put new games and rides in for the kiddos. I'm NOT kidding. It's better spaced with more things for the kids to do. Food wasn't bad. More options. Salad bar is BACK. Look- you can now drink beer and wine here so what more could you want? Get the wrist band and play games like the party animal you are!!! Vegetarian options. Obviously, a kid's menu, it's the CHEESE. take your kids, let them run around. do some work on the free wifi and let your kid be a kid!!!

    Chuck E. Cheese has changed quite a bit since I was a kid in the 90s and I'm sure they've had to make lots of changes post pandemic. I will tell you this enough, I was very impressed by the level of cleanliness of this location. I brought my son who is a first timer to Chuck E. Cheese's and he had the time of his life!! We visited at opening time. Around 10am on a Friday. We were greeted by Jamie who was absolutely amazing our entire visit. She was so helpful helping us navigate the card machine as well as the menu. She even encouraged me to take advantage of the app on my phone too. 500 free e-tickets just for joining the rewards program! There were more than enough games and rides to choose from. I immediately noticed that they no longer have the creepy mechanical puppets on stage that they had here when I was a child lol that's a good thing. I used to be terrified of the gorilla lol The pizza was just as yummy as I remembered it!! Omg!! They serve Pepsi products and there's also a salad bar. There are plenty of hand sanitizing stations throughout, which is a plus. No playground/ball pit like they had back in the day. I'm guessing due to the amount of germs those things can hold. I totally get it though. We will definitely be back in the future. We have left over tickets to redeem and plus, we just really enjoyed ourselves today. Great job, Chuck!

    Nice Chuck E Cheese! We went on a Tuesday shortly after opening. Pizza was good, salad bar stocked and fresh! There were a few games that did not work and the sketch/photo machine printed blurry pictures which is a bummer because its one of our favorite things to do every time we go to a Chuck E Cheese, we are new to the area from California and frequent CEC establishments often and always grab a sketch/photo. The folks working were nice as well. Overall a good time.

    So let me start by saying it had been a few years since I have step foot into a Chuck E. Cheese establishment. I had never really been a huge fan of the mouse nor the chaos. However, I'm a mom and well kids inevitably love the place. With a now one year old, I wanted to give it a shot. I knew he would enjoy the lights and sounds. I was surprisingly impressed with our visit. It was a Friday afternoon and with summer I expected it to be busy. There was a crowd but it was a good size and allowed for us to make our way through the arcade easily. The way everything works was different than I remembered. It reminds me of Dave and busters point cards now. All games are 1 point with the exception of two or three. You swipe a card that had points loaded and a balance will present itself. The games are all about the same that I remember but still fun for the kids. Everything seemed as clean as it could be for a kids play area/restaurant. I wish they would up their prizes but for the experience and leaving with a little souvenir makes for a good well worthy trip. Will definitely come back, maybe not a lot but definitely open to visiting here and there.

    As always so much fun for the kids! If you take a large group it can be pretty pricey. We have noticed this location is way better when it comes to the safety for children and checking for the numbers!! Due to covid it used to be the employees had to take a picture with your children. And you had to show in your way out. As of August 2021 it is back to the invisible stamp. Which they made sure everyone received one and to check on the way out. The last time we went to the one at Sam's circle in Chesapeake nobody was standing by the door. Good job VA beach! The prices and food menu is located right in the front. We like that they went away with the coins and went to a reloadable card. Which your points/tickets are added to. It's so much more convenient. You also get one pause which is perfect if you are choosing to eat. The salad bar is back. We always order the #5 which is two large pizzas 6 drinks and a chocolate chip cookie pie. The pizza is always good with decent flavors. It was pretty greasy though. As an adult I don't find the chocolate pie very good but all the children love it! Plenty of games to play for children and parents! We played for a hour and half and nobody ever got board!! Our highest points was 900 pretty good for the time given! It's definitely a good fun place for the family with young children!

    This Chuck E. Cheese's is located along Lynnhaven Pkwy and not too far from Lynnhaven Mall. The place is easily seen from Lynnhaven Pkwy. There is plenty of parking available on site. When you first come in, if you come in with any kids, be prepared to have your hand stamped, as well as your kid(s). This is a security measure to avoid kids going outside of the place on their own. The host at the entrance as to unlock the gate (electronically) to get out. There are plenty of game areas in the place. At the back, there is an area for a show for birthday parties and such, along with a ticket blaster. My visit (first time) was on March 23, 2018. The reason for the visit was due to my niece's school (Ocean Lakes Elementary) having a fundraiser night for the school. Once you come inside, there is an area where you can order food and drinks. The primary food here is definitely pizza. A pizza was ordered and used a coupon in the process. I ended up getting a pepperoni pizza with Alfredo sauce instead of the tomato base, At that time, I wasn't sure what to expect with the pizza since I hadn't had it here before. After finding a table to sit at, we just waited for the pizza to be ready. Once the pizza was ready, it was picked up and brought back to the table. I went up to the front area to get the red peppers and extra cheese to sprinkle on the pizza. I wasn't expecting much from the pizza, but I was quite surprised. The pizza was actually quite good. It was so good that I'd consider coming in again in the future just to get some pizza here as a carry out. Once the pizza was done, it was time for my niece to go play games throughout the place. Looking at some of the games there remind me of the past, as I remember playing some of them when I was a kid. They also have some newer games that adapt to today's technology as well. She had a great time playing the games. Overall, this was a good experience and was better than what I thought I'd might expect before coming here. The pizza was definitely a highlight and there are plenty of games for the kids. I wouldn't come in to stay necessarily if you come in with no kids though.

    Fun, fun, fun!!! The kids never get tired of this place. This location has the game cards instead of the tokens. The pizza is super tasty, and the cakes are moist. I would recommend a party at this location.

    Our family has been fans of Chuck E Cheese for years. However, with the kids somewhat older we only get a visit, or two a year now. The value for games is much better than local competitors, but is scaled more to a younger audience. There has also been recent changes in corporate attitude toward service and upgrades in food that may have the family come back if you have been strangers. The Lynnhaven location has been our go to for years. Probably four years ago they under went an expansion of dining room and games. During this time they upgraded most, possibly all the games on the floor. This store has the distinction of having a super great guy that runs maintenance on the machines and doubles as a runner for food. The machines are kept in top notch condition and they man doing the work is a really nice guy. We have never been fans of the brand on weekend when crowds and parties are nuts. Our goal is usually weekday mornings when they open.There is typically no one around and it builds around noon, but still not busy like weekends. On my most recent visit I found the lot and sidewalks clear of debris as well as the interior was completely prepared for the day too! On our most recent visit when coming in to get your hand stamped for your party the young female staffer was polite and friendly. When getting tokens and food the woman at the counter was terrific, helpful and smiled the entire transaction. I never go to the palace without coupons, they always have them. So look them up on your smart phone and show them. They have a bar code but did not even need to scan it. The best deal for tokens is $20 for 100 and that will usually last my two easily an hour, or more. During the hour, or so my kids has a great time. All machines worked including the ticket feeders that prints out points. At other location the feeders seemed to be troublesome and not enough of them. This store has several machines to turn in tickets and it would probably only be an issue on waiting of course on weekends. My son found the machine that delivered the most tickets is "Fantasy Jump", but be prepared it is exhausting and not as easy as you may think. Our family favorite game is the ski ball. You can really score on tickets if you can hit the 10k hole. A total score of 42k nets you 100 tickets. The "Deal, or no Deal is also a fun one they enjoy. We have not had a Chuck E Cheese party, or attended a party in years. However, the kids loved it when we did and the value is great! Chuck E is guaranteed to come out too! But even if your not at a party Chuck will come out and did our our most recent visit twice in our two hour stay. The churro's new to the food line up were served with a caramel sauce and a white chocolate sauce, both tasty. Without the sauce not so good. However, they were brought out timely and the runner was friendly. The manager did make his way over and reminded us a survey to complete to get free tickets. The counter person mentioned the same survey. They are really wanting feedback. At the end with the kids tickets they were hoping to get cotton candy, but they were out which was a bummer. We have been saving points for years so I guess it was not all bad to put them all in the kitty. The kids elected to get ice-cream out of the machine that had not been activated in our last few visits a year ago. The price ranges from $1-$2. I think the value for our family is better than other game places. I did not try the expanded menu so I cannot comment. For 12&U kids which is there target audience Chuck E Cheese works well. Unsure when we will return, but I would recommend.

    I felt strongly compelled to write this review because today more than ever, businesses that demonstrate any level of competence and professionalism, let alone those that exceed expectations NEED to be celebrated, as they are very few and far between. In fact, I'm surprised that any still exist. A little background: Three of my four kids were invited to a birthday party at this location today, and from the minute we received the invitation, I started dreading it and spent far too much time and effort trying to concoct a believable excuse to get out of it. Now, to be fair, I've been a father of four long enough to know that I'd rather chew tin foil in a crowded DMV than spend a weekend day at another kid's birthday party. To make this particular invitation worse, as someone who grew up in the 80s, I have fond memories of Chuck E Cheese. However, those memories translated into stressed-out parent evoke latent images of a dark, dingy underground children's rave where every surface is smeared with the greasy fingerprints of untold numbers of unsupervised kids tearing through the place like they had flakka for lunch. Unfortunately, to my utter disappointment, I found out that we were one of two families who were invited, which meant that our absence would have meant a reduction in this adorable little birthday girl's guest list by 50%. It was immediately apparent that this bullet was one I would not have the luxury of dodging and so I prepared myself to catch it straight to the face. Continued in photo screenshots...

    "Where a kid can be a kid" UNLESS they're freaked out by a big costumed Rat and his scary animatronic pals. That was me, 36 years ago, and my nephew at his (un)happy birthday party on Saturday that I attended with my sons. Place was at capacity, 'crawling' with patrons packed in 'like rats.' Large overflow parking lot in rear was full. Despite the noise and natural challenges of moving around, the facility was decently clean, security was tight and staff members were present/visible (and fairly courteous). Kudos to corporate trainers and location management for teaching/maintaining a service oriented culture, especially in the midst of weekend controlled chaos. Seriously, you couldn't pay me enough to work there! Be prepared to stop at "Kid Check" upon entry to receive a unique UV wrist stamp # for you and your children. They will check ALL children trying to exit to make sure there's an accompanying adult match. As a Dad, you'll never need to apologize for having security measures. If you enter stag and say you're with a party, you're asked the name of the birthday child before access is granted. Party packages range from $15-$25 per child and include 2 slices of pizza and a card with varying amounts of play points (replaced token system). Can be booked online, which is cool. You CAN opt to bring in dessert from outside the venue! (We brought the round Chocolate cake from Costco, best $17 money can buy!). Your party host will take care of cutting/serving. Jose, our staff host, brought his exuberant high energy personality to the party, trying to make the 2 hour window SEEM special. Threatening that cause was 11 OTHER PARTIES happening at the same time, in the SAME CRAMPED SPACE, with 1 neighboring party sharing Jose. With that many moving parts, it's logistically impossible to not feel like you're being hurried/cycled through, then booted to make room for the next churn. We were on the end near the ticket blaster which SUCKED, to say it mildly. Every vip using the machine (12+) encroached and invaded our already packed party space. #PhotoBombedToTheMax. After the hosts' build up, Chuck E came out to lead celebratory song/dance; he ran right by our table and my nephew went bananas, in a bad way - as in split! I've been there buddy, 36 years ago! (After the fact, I'm laughing a little bit as I type this...I can't help it!). In the end, you make the most of the place, playing games with kids to earn tickets that can be exchanged for cheap oriental trading quality prizes. It doesn't make economic sense but definitely lends to a better than average time with family/friends..."look out, there's the big Rat!"

    What has happened to this Chuck E. Cheese's? I feel they are spiraling downhill. I've had my kids birthday at this location perhaps 3 times. Last time I was here was 3 years ago. I guess times has changed. I don't think I would throw my kid's birthday party here because I feel like they make it nearly impossible for u to win tickets here and these tokens can get pricey after a while. I was really sad that they removed the helicopter ride and the Ferris wheel. They also took away the climbing play area with the tunnels that my kids loved playing in. The clown shooter game is gone too. We were really disappointed to see that the fun classic games had been replaced. If u are hoping to be the lucky winner to hit a jackpot on the games the most tickets u could get were 50. They do have some good deals on the food. They have a $6.95 lunch buffet and children under 2 eat free. The food packages are ok. I felt u get ripped off buying tokens from the machine. If u spend $30 dollars it would be $0.25 a token making out 120 tokens but if u spend $10 worth on tokens you only receive 30 tokens. I never remember having to spend more than 25cents a token. Sadly, we can't just put quarters in the machine and get a token anymore. Money is business and times sure has changed. My kids still enjoyed, the prizes they got were a joke but the fact that they had fun made all the difference. I did hate that some parents weren't watching their kids. Some irritating little kid kept following us trying to take over my kids games half of the time. I had to tell him to stop bothering my kids on numerous occasions and told him that he needed to ask his parents to give him tokens to play a game elsewhere. Was a excited about the food. Meh, not really.. I mean they started adding stuffed crust pizza to the menu for an additional $2 but I didn't go for it. I had the all I can eat salad bar. Wasn't to exciting because I had to pick around at some of the wilted lettuce and spinach, knowing that I was not eating anything really fresh at the salad bar. I understand for the kids, pizza is and they will gravitate to loving pizza even though it's greasy and a little hard like cardboard. We can't complain though, the service was really good. The server who served us also was in charge of games. He was really nice. He gave us a way to earn extra tokens by answering some trivia questions on the back of our table number card. He made sure we were completely satisfied. All in all. I hope they do more to this Chuck E. Cheese location because of the competition in the area. Now that their is funville, the bounce house and sky zone in the Virginia Beach area... party planning has various other options to choose from.

    This review might be a little cheesy, but bare with me and don't be so quick to chuck it out! Soooo... I'm a big kid by all standards. I love arcade games, pizza, people in furry mouse suits, and skee-ball (which for some reason is one of my greatest talents... go figure). Not many places combine all of these super-fun things into one place while still maintaining a family atmosphere as well as Chuck E. Cheese's... unless you count sketchy back-alley clubs in shadowy ghettos; then again the fur-suits there are a bit more revealing. Moving on... I came here a few months back in search of something to do with my visiting niece - not that I needed an excuse to be here. The location itself is very close to Lynnhaven Mall and can be seen from the main drag should you get lost - although it is accessed by a side-street. Parking is adequate but it could potentially become cramped if large crowds show up for birthday parties, etc. You are "stamped" upon entry - along with any and all children. This is a GREAT security feature as you can't simply walk in and walk back out again without the greeter matching up your stamp to the children/others in your party. In a sense, you can show up and relax while your kids have fun, knowing that Johnny Sketchy-pants isn't gonna come in a snatch up little Suzy. No really, good show Mr. Chuck Cheese - I've worked in security before on several levels, and their system is fairly solid. Once you're in and stamped, your sensory overload experience can begin! As a child, I think I'd be in heaven - the amount of games, flashing lights, and humorous prizes would definitely make me annoy my parents for more tokens than I could ever spend! As an adult, I immediately began to feel my wallet become lighter. This place isn't cheap - but, then again, it's hard to place a price on family-fun in a safe environment. If I recall correctly, I spent around $60.00 for pizza, drinks, and a small fortunate of shiny little game-tokens. That bought us roughly 1.5-2 hours worth of enjoyment - $30 an hour is acceptable. There's are a good amount of tables to sit and enjoy your food - all of them have a fairly solid line-of-sight to the gaming area. The environment was clean, the food came out fast (yet felt like a marginal offering compared to the price - i.e., less quality than standard chains), and they were kind and quick to assist us when our order was wrong - I don't mind mistakes as long as they're rectified. The salad bar could use a little work, but then again this is a pizza joint for kids - and most kids aren't vegan. Overall, this is a good place to go as an adult and a great place to go as a kid - remember, that's whom your going for after all! Tweak the food a bit, keep an additional employee on the floor in the gaming area, and update the arcade to a more modern selection and this would definitely be a Five Star location!

    The part area. Nice and clean

    See all

    We recently hosted a birthday party at Flipper McCoy's in Virginia Beach and overall had a really…read morefun and positive experience. The biggest downside was the heat, especially upstairs in the laser tag area. It was uncomfortably hot and could definitely use better ventilation. The party room itself is on the smaller side and felt very cramped (only accommodates 12 bodies comfortably) and was warm too. The arcade noise carries in even with the door closed as the walls don't go up to the ceiling, but noise is expected in an arcade setting. That said, there were a lot of thoughtful touches that really stood out. The party room was decorated well, with detailed under the sea murals on the wall, and the place settings were surprisingly nice with sturdy glowing plastic plates, cups, and neatly arranged silverware that matched the neon and black-light theme. It made it feel more put-together than typical party setups. (Even though I decorated with my own decorations and partyware, as the birthday girl had a particular theme she wanted.)Our party attendant made it a point to check in to empty trash and make sure everything was going smoothly. One of the most appreciated features was that parents could watch the laser tag games from downstairs on the screens, and a few were even allowed to jump in and play with their kids at no extra charge, which was awesome. The kids absolutely loved the variety of arcade games and had a blast. Party pricing and packages were comparable to other venues, with three options to choose from, and we really liked being able to bring our own food and drinks. They were also very accommodating, since there wasn't a party before ours, they let us in early to decorate at no extra cost, and they didn't rush us out at the end, only asking for 30 minutes to reset the room for the next group. That flexibility made a huge difference, especially since we had the largest party package with multiple laser tag rounds plus arcade time, cake, and food. Parking was a bit tricky, but that was expected at the oceanfront (and we were glad it was the off-season). Most importantly, the kids had an amazing time and the birthday girl is already asking to have another party there, which says it all. A FUN venue with great staff and party flexibility, just be prepared for the heat, especially upstairs, the typical arcade noise (even in the party room) and the frustration of VB Oceanfront parking, as there isn't dedicated parking for the venue.

    Pretty decent arcade on the boardwalk in terms of games and cleanliness. But pretty pricey. Games…read moreaveraged $1.25, and you have to buy a card to add money to and they charge $1.25 or 1.50 for the card. So needless to say it didn't take long to spend our $20. Maybe that is the reason we were the only folks in the arcade. We ended up with enough tickets to get 6 pieces of "penny candy". So I'd say skip the arcade and take your kiddo to the dollar store and let them come out with 5 or 10 dollars worth of stuff. Also we paid $12 to park in the lot behind the arcade. So a costly 15 minute experience.

And if they had one, I never saw it…read more I only did the bowling activity which was fun; there are so many lanes and a VIP room with additional lanes. The cost was per lane vs per person and you pay at the counter in the bowling area. If you're in the military/a vet let them know as you get a DISCOUNT. Not only that, but shoe rental and sock are free, (normally around $3.50 each). Since I didn't go in with intentions to bowl I didn't bring any, but was able to get a free pair since my cousins benefit applied to everyone in the party. The socks are actually cute (to me). It was very busy on a Friday evening and the crowd seemed to be teens and adults. Very few small kids. The servers come to the lanes to take orders, and the tablet at the bowling lane has a button to press for their help. Since it was taking long, we just ordered drinks from the bar nearby. The food, ordered later was simple, but good. -Sunset strawberry sangria is good, but could use more strawberry flavor. - Mozzarella sticks are no different then what you'd get at the grocery store and for the price the amount given isn't enough. - Wings, got a double order, 1/2 sweet chili, 1/2 garlic parmesan. I've often seen the latter on menus and steered clear because it didn't sound appealing. However, since it was ordered (for the group) I figured I'd give it a try. It was Soooooo good that I before I left I placed a to go order. Servers and staff were overall kind, but very busy. Lots of running and trying to take care of everyone. There weren't many smiles, but I imagine they were focused on the task at hand. Anyway, be kind and be patient. If you're staying at a nearby hotel let them know your going to Apex. I did (as I inquired about directions) and was given afree pass for laser tag, which I gave away.

    This is an entertainment venue with lots of different activities. From bowling, mini golf, laser…read moretag, arcade games, bumper cars, VR experiences, etc.. I am basing my review on the activities that me and my daughter experienced. There is lots of parking at the event and it is free.. which is great to see.... Walking in, we were shocked at how expensive everything was. You are literally spending $50+ per hour per person. We did the mini golf. The course was very small. 18 holes in the dark with glow in the dark balls. It started out great but when we reached around hole 6 a group of 12-15 teenagers came in and started speed running through the course.. they were hitting their balls all over the place. My daughter and I had to step aside for and let them speed their way through. After that there were a couple of older kids that were hitting their balls very hard and they were flying off the course.. one of those balls almost hit my daughter in the head.. they really need some supervision in the mini golf room. Otherwise somebody is going g to get seriously injured... Next we want to the arcade section. My daughter loved the VR experience items. But at $5+ dollars for 5 mins.... It adds up really fast. They have a little store where you can get prizes in exchange for tickets. But the big problem is that there are very few machines that actually give you tickets when you play them. There were a couple of claw machines that gave you a chance to win 100'or so tickets. But when you need thousands of tickets to buy anything.. you are literally spending a lot of money. Most of the machines were claw based machines where you could win a prize or the coin push machines which are hard to win anything out of. Overall, I was not a big fan of Apex. It is very expensive for what you get.. you can easily spend over $100 per hour in this place to try all the different things. Unless you have a big promo or coupon that gives you a huge discount.... It is not worth the money. The other big issue is that there is very little supervision of all the kids running around. Most of the staff look like they are high school students working a summer job. Like I mentioned earlier, my daughter almost getting hit in the head with a golf ball is unacceptable!!! Highly don't recommend coming here unless you can get a huge discount.

Good size crowd but still plenty of room and game to easily get to and play. Started off with great service at the front desk, I believe the guys name is Cleary. He was very welcoming. We explained this was our first time in and asked for recomendations. He was very friendly and cordial and explained how everything worked. At the end of the visit we realized he gave great advice that allowed us to fully enjoy our visit. The vibe and ambiance was really good and had the true arcade feel. People were laughing and having lots of fun just like us. There were people enjoying food and drinks and relaxing in groups in the dining area, playing duck pin bowling, video games including guitar hero, playing pinball, skeetball, basketball shoot and football throwing games. I mean there was real fun being had by all including us. Didn't have food but had beer and played pinball and video games. I really like the beer taps because there were a lot of choices and I tried several different ones because you pour as little or as much as you want. I did about six oz pours and tried several ones. We will definitely be visiting Circuit Social again to get out and have fun and take our mind off things. Thank you for a good time. we needed it!!

There's so much to do and they even offer party hosting if you're looking for a spot to celebrate. We played for about an hour and a half and spent around $40 for the both of us (including socks, I think). One thing I really appreciated was the area reserved for kids three and under it's nice knowing the little ones have a safe space away from the bigger kids. Overall, we had a great experience.

Kids everywhere, very loud and lots for them to do. It did look like a lot of fun. They have sections for the younger kids - 4 and under. Lots of trampolines and foam pits and climbing walls and hoops, dodgeball.....It did seem like the lines were long to get into the place - tickets, socks etc. There was a place to buy water and soda and also what looked like a room in the back for birthday parties. Couches and tables throughout but hard to get on a busy day. I did see staff walking around. I am sure parents like taking there kids here - they probably sleep hard later.

    1. Our event has 22 children but there was only one person assigned to our event. While I think she…read moredid her best and was very kind, she was still only one person. 2.We did the stack n play 1030-1230 party and we never received the chocolate syrup, strawberries, or whip cream(I was told it was still frozen and she did bring out a small plate after I asked with what she could gather from the frozen whip cream) we should have had pancakes, syrup, chocolate syrup, whip cream, sprinkles, strawberries, and Oreo crumbles per the website. 3.The drink containers were not filled until after the kids had already eaten and were asking for a beverage. 4. I kept the children at the table because the food was to be served at 1045 but was not served until 1100 which made it more difficult for us to stay on schedule. 5. The "unlimited" green games was very unfortunate as the amount of green games was extremely minimal. I was very shocked at how little games were actually green. It would be very nice if after the $10 is spent that the kids could still play any game but just not receive tickets. That truly limited them and was such a bummer. 6. Multiple cards (to include my birthday boys bracelet) stopped working even for green games. While they worked to fix this it took away even more of their playing time which was very frustrating. The employees also wanted to know which kid and which games specifically thinking it was a game issue so that too took time to work through. 7. The gratuity auto placed on the receipt is not just on food but also on the cost of the game cards which is strange. In addition it is not listed as gratuity but something else which had I not prepared for that ahead of time I would have missed this entirely. 8. I ordered 3 platters (grapes/strawberries/cheese) and bacon (but this was per person pricing of a side) it would be very nice if you offered some sides options in addition to the two pancakes per person for this breakfast party. The other times have so many options and this one I had to piece together to feel complete. Over all the host for our party was very kind and worked her best for us I feel. But there were multiple unfortunate frustrations for us which was a bummer.

We've been to other locations and they have way more to offer. The "prizes" are SHEIN quality. Their employees are helpful but need to clean better. Every table or area we took a break at was dirty and we came during a slow time so it was not busy at all. The bathrooms were so nasty that I had to go out to the mall to take my little to use the restroom. We don't normally eat here during our morning visits so I can't say much on their food or drinks. Overall, if it wasn't for the kids asking to stop by I would never frequent this location. We now tend to go across the street to the small crane arcade afterwords to at least get some bang for our bucks.
