I just had to pay for shoe rentals which came to about $11 total for 2 kids. We had our own lane and 2 "free" games of bowling fun. They have plenty of options for bowling balls, ramps, and gutter guards to make this fun for kids. When we were done bowling, my kids enjoyed exploring the arcade. I loved the hand sanitizer readily available at the front counter. This location was much more enjoyable than the huntersville location as it was less crowded (despite there being camps here), appears newer, and was very clean.

It was my first time playing laser tag. You can play with people in your group but also have the option to allow other people in your session. Think you can have up to 20 people playing at a time. You can play in teams or individually. The laser gun keeps track of your hits and ranks everyone at the end of the game. The game lasts 10 mins. At first I thought, 10 minutes?! was way too short for the amount of money we paid for one session. But when you're running around on the course, 10 minutes is sufficient. It was fun and sweaty lol. The five star rating is for the exceptional customer service provided by their manager, Bryant and a staff member, Joshua.

I was babysitting/"hanging out" with my 7-year-old nephew for the day and needed to find somewhere that would excite yet tire him out for a few hours. The place looks very unassuming upon pulling into the parking lot but once you enter, it's bright lights, colors, and games for days. In order to play the games, you have to buy cards, wristbands, etc at the front desk beforehand. Thankfully, we arrived right when it opened, so we walked right up and purchased the card for "bowling" and wristband for the bounce houses. The bowling (1 game = $3) set up does not include your typical bowling balls. They're smaller and much heavier. He was not the biggest fan of it but he L-O-V-E-D the bounce houses. There's four or five inflatable houses with various levels of difficulty and he went through all of them multiple times. The price for the bounce houses was $9.95 and allows your child to play ALL day. Best $10 I spent the entire day. The staff I encountered was very friendly and the facilities appeared very clean and well taken care of. Whenever I have children under my watch, I will be taking them here!

From…read morethe moment we pulled up the staff and owner were outside helping us bring in food and get kids in the video game room. The setup is a gamers dream. From high end gaming chairs, a selection of Xbox, PlayStation and PC gaming devices to individual monitors, headsets and games projected on the walls, my kids and their friend had an amazing 2 1/2 hours of gaming fun. Our host (Mr. Reilly) was so knowledgeable and so patient. He stayed in the room helping get everyone setup accordingly and even shared some tips and tricks. The cherry on top of the day was the owner and his hospitable spirit that started from the time we arrived. He even put the NCAA tournament on the big screen so we parents could relax and check our brackets :). If you have a gamer in the family and want to do something fun, we highly recommend getting a dozen or so of their friends together for a battle royale at Escape Kings!!!

We came to Escape Kings for a friend's birthday and we all had a great time! We have done a few…read moreescape rooms before so we understood the concept and worked well as a team. We booked the only room that was available and just our luck, it was the most difficult room (besides Aztec Ruins, which is difficult because you have the chance to win an Xbox). We did the Ghost Hunters room where you are set in a scene where you are trying to set a ghost's spirit free. Definitely spooky! You are allowed three clues, so use them wisely! This experience was different for us because there were a lot of locks but not all had to be opened, so pay attention to the story line. The location is conveniently located near Carowinds so if you are out of town and need some other activities to do besides the amusement park, this is a great option! The staff here is SO friendly. You can tell that they are all so smart and love what they do. The game maker even added personal touches to really make the birthday boy special.

We had no expectations for the place since we've never been any place similar. Tipsy Paintbrush is a BYOB art studio that offers weekly classes focusing on various pictures and is available for private parties. There's also a rotating list of artists that teach the classes and offer painting techniques. On the day we attended, our class was full and picture of the night was sunflowers. It's a bright but small studio space. Parking is to be found on the street (namely Charles street which is located behind the studio) since the place only has four to five spaces to its name. There are rows of tables and stools with canvasses that have a sketch of the picture already drawn out. Classes are two hours. As for BYOB, you can bring bottles of wine/beer/spiked cider, etc that can be either be kept at your station or at the back to be shared with the rest of the class. Also, you can bring in snacks (various dips/salsas/crackers/popcorn/cheeses/etc). There are plastic cups and wine glasses available should you not bring any of your own (we brought in our own glasses). The only gripe I have is that the personal station space is pretty tight. In between having space for the canvas, paint, water glass, wine glass/beer bottle, and possible snack, there's not much room to put everything. Once class begins, the instructor will walk you through the science of color mixing and different techniques to bring the painting to life. The most important thing to remember is to have fun. It's just paint! Don't go in with such a critical view of how your work comes out. Our instructor of the night was Gina and she was great. She was really patient and offered some good painting tips! I HIGHLY recommend the Tipsy Paintbrush for a fun night out!

On November 15, I arrived on time for a class at The Tipsy Paintbrush. The class was scheduled for…read more7:00-9:00. The two instructors chose to delay starting the class untill all participants arrived. The class was scheduled to last two hours. After thirty minutes (at 7:30), the class had STILL not started. That is one fourth of the scheduled class time wasted because of late participants. I had other plans after nine o' clock, so I had to leave without painting, A few people should not be allowed to waste the time of people who show up on time. Very bad policy! I was an art teacher for 25 years, and if people were late for class, I would help them catch up....NOT hold up instruction for the majority. I lost my money....not going back! I agree with another reviewer that too many participants were scheduled so the space was simply too tight.
