Excellent place to visit, period. Definitely worth dropping by if you are in the area, and have a few hours to kill. Great selection of blaster rentals and many different food/drink options to choose from if you get hungry/thirsty. They also have a pretty decent size arcade. Staff was very friendly and covid-safe as well. Do drop by some time, you won't regret it. read more

We just celebrated my sons 6th birthday here!!! It was amazing!!! All the staff was super great and very helpful. We had the pleasure of hanging out with Richard, who is also the owner, as our party captain. You can tell this is his passion. Even the other parents talked about how smooth all the transitions were and how great he was with the kids. The birthday party package covers Everything!!! Pizza, drinks, decorations, candles, goodie bag, even arcade tokens. You pretty much show up with a cake and they take care of the rest. The building itself was very clean, sanitizer stations everywhere. The bathrooms were clean and there is even a bar with a wide arrange of adult beverages. Thank you Richard and staff for such an amazing experience!!! read more

What an amazing experience!! They have a safe way to celebrate birthdays/events outside. My son and his friend turned 8...dart em up came to the park of our choice, set up and ran everything...it was seamless and fun! The kids were raving about it! So amazing that our boys could have a fun and safe birthday despite COVID! read more

Good concept, was fun for the first and last ten minutes but spent 30 minutes there with just the two of us on a Saturday at 2pm. For $40, not really worth it... read more

This is our first time coming to Dart Em' Up, and I was beyond impressed. The owner went around to introduce himself and asked if anyone needed anything. The facility is friendly, clean, and organized. We will be back again! read more

I love this place! Highly recommend. Richard and his staff were great. They took care of us and actually let us enjoy the party with our son with no worries. I am definitely booking another party here. read more

The staff was really amazing at all times. My daughter celebrated her birthday there and had a lot of fun. The place was very fun for her and her friends. I recommend it! read more

Fantastic place for a birthday party! Employees are kind and energetic, and all our guests had a great time. Daisy was a great host! She served all the food, made sure all the kids were where they needed to be, and generally made it so we parents could simply relax and enjoy our sons's birthday! Our kids LOVE coming here to play. read more

Dart'em Up - My crew having a blast at Dart Em Up! - Arcades Near Me - Austin, Texas

My 5 year old started coming here with a camp this past summer and he's definitely on the younger/smaller end of the kids who come here. Regardless, he loves this place. We came on a regular Saturday with another friend, who's also 5, and the owner/manager totally saved the day when he saw tears happening because of the generally intimidating environment the older kids' room created (plussome kids are just a-holes). He moved them over into the room where a birthday party was happening, where the kids were less aggressive and closer to their age, and they had a ball. He even let them play by themselves in between parties. read more

We came here for a company event. What a great idea! All my coworkers had a blast, really brought out the inner kids in us. The owner is a very nice guy. If you're looking for a place for your kiddos, coworkers, anyone really you must give this place a try. read more

The staff here is amazing!!! I'm always impressed with the fluidity of this facility!!! My kids have a blast, we feel safe, and I always notice the cleanliness!!! read more

Fun place! Take your boys or girls and get in on the action! Lots of different game play ideas and the owners are super nice. You can even bring your own Nerf guns and use their darts... to make it a bit cheaper... But it is very affordable and lots of fun. Highly recommended! read more

This place help me throw a stress free party. Parents and kids of all ages were able to participate and hang out. Owner was on site greeting people and running operations. It's a genius idea. Most definitely will be back. And check this out! There's a...(drumroll) BAR! Yes folks! You heard me right. A bar. It's not much selection buts a nice touch for the adults. I will be back! read more

We brought 10 kids to play today and this place never disappoints. The manager was super accommodating and extremely polite. Kids had a blast. They have renovated and added more games and prizes. We will return again. read more

My son had a wonderful birthday party on President's Day; it was not too crowded at 11.30am and our host, Riley, was fab!! They took care of everything including food, drinks, gift bag, nerf and darts! Would definitely recommend. I can imagine this place getting crowded and that may impact he experience, but we had a blast! read more

The front staff today was not friendly or accommodating. Usually they are, maybe they are new but it was not a fun experience. Even my kids noticed. Didn't even want my kids to sit at the table when we first walked in even though we had to wait 45 mins for them to start playing. Very disappointed. For a kids place, the employees could stand to be a little friendlier and patient. Will not go back. read more

This place is pretty good. They only have two arenas and one is for balls the other for darts so if you want a party you have to do it with tons of their kids. They let you pick your teams by then after every round they pick some kids to switch because birthday parties are coming in and out. The games are ok but they don't explain them very well and the mic audio is awful. The head of the arena is in this platform up high just yelling at people. The refs do nothing but stand there and they let the other teams just stay I. The whole time but when I didn't even get hit they made me out. I shot a kid 8 times and he still wouldn't leave. Also every single one of the cheap or free guns are broken and cheap. If you want one that works you have to pay an additional six plus dollars extra to the entry fee which is super cheap actually read more

Excellent Birthday Party experience. Kiddo has been a guest at 4 birthday parties this fall. It is clean, well organized and staffed by a team that keeps things moving and fun Mom loves: - cleanliness - Organized - Fun and attentive staff - host parents keep raving about how easy it was to put together - Plentiful time in the range, our 8 year old plays the full time .. - The floor staff do a nice job organizing capture the flag and competitions with the next party coming in, the teams are balanced. and both teams appear well matched (not sure how they do it, but it turned out that way with every party so far) Tips: First time there? Plan a few minutes to sign the legal waiver Socks - kids remove their shoes.. socks are a must (They have them for sale.. but nice to just slip off the shoes and go) Bring your own? kinda. There are some nerf shooters kids can bring from home, check with them first And it is a local biz, with management onsite. They are totally on top of things and making sure everyone is having a good time. read more

My kiddos love it here!!! Awesome idea and owner! Have visited several times now and always have a good time

We've been here on our own and for a few birthdays, including our son's. Always a lot of fun! Great way to get your kids' energy out while having a wonderful time right along with them! You heard that right: it's just as fun for adults as it is for kids! Locally owned and operated. The owner is a joy to know and a welcome addition to our neighborhood. read more

We came here for my son's birthday party. What a great idea! All the kids had a blast(and some of the adults too). The owner is a very nice guy. He came up with the idea for a nerf party place. If you're looking for a place for your kiddos you must give this place a try. read more

We had my son's 8th birthday party here! It was the best party...from a parents stand point as well as kids. The staff was attentive and helpful. They had several staff members working and I felt like it was very well managed. The facility was clean and spacious. I never felt like we were crammed into the rooms or in the way. The owner and manager were very nice as well. We spoke to both multiple times and they genuinely cared that we were happy with the facility and staff. I will definitely return for the individual play this summer! read more

Although it was a little pricey, the service that the staff including owner provided was exceptional. The only thing is they order from next door so you have to preorder your pizza and decide how much you want ahead of time. I wish they would allow outside food. It would make it easier on parents. read more

I've had the opportunity to visit Dart'em Up on several occasions with my children and neighbors. For a place that has only been open a few months, they do a great job! Customer service is top notch and they really strive to make every one welcome and comfortable. The games are great and refs know their stuff! Can't wait to get back. read more

If you're looking for a great spot to have fun for all ages, especially with the pandemic this is your place. The owner, Richard was really great and so were his staff. read more

We celebrated our son's birthday here. We had an amazing time! Every one who attended young and older had a ton of FUN!!!! The owner Richard greeted us as soon as we arrived, since this was our first time Richard took the time to explained everything to us. We were introduce to our party host Trevor. Trevor was amazing. We loved everything from the excellent service, to the entire establishment, specially all the FUN everyone had. We will be going back soon. Totally recommend to all of our family & friends. We had a fantastic time. read more

Richard and his team went above and beyond for us today! I truly appreciate him squeezing us in for a last minute party! I didn't expect for it to happen as it was same day notice but figured it was worth a shot to ask. They were extremely helpful and accommodating! I saw other team members constantly checking in with our host to ask her if she needed any help. I would most definitely recommend booking a party at DartEmUp!!! read more

My son chose Dart em Up to celebrate his 10th birthday. We had a group of 12 kiddos. The team leader and referees were great interacting with the kids, and making sure everyone was safe and following the rules. We met the owner and he was very friendly and even ran in and played with the kids and wished my son a Happy Birthday. They supplied everything we needed including gift bags we only had to bring the cake. Everything is run in an efficient and customer friendly manner. Great spot, worth the money for a special birthday party. Also, my son received a thank you note from his team captain and they sent him a nerf gun as a thank you gift. This is such a thoughtful gesture and will not be forgotten. read more

I took my two boys (6 & 8) here during our visit to Austin. The place is very cool! My boys loved the dart gun selection. There are plenty of places for parents to sit. Clean restrooms. At some point, my youngest got shot and wanted to leave. The owner spotted him and lowered himself to my sons level so they could talk. He helped my son calm down and put a bandanna around my son's neck to help cover his neck! I couldn't believe how caring he was! Later, my oldest got upset, and one of the referees came out and talked to him. He showed him the arcade and my son instantly forgot he was upset. It made a huge difference. The staff here went above and beyond! We had a wonderful experience. Can't wait to come back. read more

What a great place to have a birthday Party!!! Ryan was our party attendent and he took great care of my son during the play time letting him change guns and providing him full clips of bullets. He also let me enter the arena to take pictures. After the kids came into the room he took care of everything, I was able to just sit and enjoy the kids and guests. All I did was bring a cake and the kids. Then my son won a star wars nerf gun from a raffle. They also gave him a dartem up hat as a gift from them. read more

WORST! PLACE! EVER! My husband and i took our kids here to have a glow in the dark nerf battle; The "refs" are unfair, the guns dont work, and when you tag someone they run and cry to the "refs". The "teams" arent even numbered nor do they even out the teams when your time is up. I WILL be demanding a refund. DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY HERE! If i could give it ZERO STARS i would. read more

We took a big group here after hours and our students had a blast! The staff was kind and welcoming. We recommend this place!

This place is a hidden gem. The great thing with Nerf guns is that even young kids can use them safely. We recently hosted a birthday party here and it was a great experience. Their support staff is amazing. They are always there and still non-intrusive. The owner was around and suggested that we go inside and click pictures. For this he brought a set of glasses for us to wear. The arcade area is reasonable but they give you enough coins to play for a long time. They take care of almost everything. Wonderful experience, thanks folks. read more

A legendary locally owned business. Lots of fun. Big selection of Nerf guns, lots of other fun stuff. Great for birthday parties and other gatherings! read more

Nerf dart guns DO NOT work!!! Don't bother. No concession stand. Not enough seating. Not worth the price.

We have a birthday party in this location and, while my child had tons of fun, I as a parent, will not return with him. Let me start by saying that the birthday party was $300 plus taxes, not so affordable per say. The deposit is $100 at booking at you will pay the remining the day of the party, a grand total of $324. Upon booking I receive an email stating my party was reserved and all. I didn't hear a word until I decided to email them back asking for a confirmation emails and other details. A day prior to the party I received a phone call stating the following: 1. My party reservation was received and we are good to go 2. Kids needed to sign a waiver and bring socks (they are $2 if you don't bring any btw) 3. What type of Domino's pizza I wanted (I am not a fan of Dominos) 4. Drinks to choose from either water, soda or Gatorade. 5. Lastly, a phony apology saying "we are sorry but we must tell you, you need to be here 15 minutes prior the party. The arena experience starts running from the time the party starts, example: 2pm to 4pm, so from the 2pm start- 70 minutes later the gun battle will be over." This is ridiculous, who in the world arrives to a party 15 minutes prior to start? We are talking about children, and busy adults taking time off on a weekend to drive their kid across town to celebrate a birthday. I didn't think much of this, so I carry on with my usual night. The day of the party! We arrived 15-minutes earlier, and I couldn't find an attendant to provide any check in information or a brief laying of what's supposed to happen. I had to begin asking people that we were here for a party and what should we do. Some of the workers on this location have no clue how to properly reply when asked a question. My child had appointed a cart, a dirty cart to place the cake and ice cream on top, and on the bottom, shelve, the shoes and present should be placed. The cart at least had a name tag, sitting by the front desk area and near the front entry, anyone could easily pick a gift box and walk away. As usual guests arrived within 15 minutes of the party starting, so get this, the time on the area, was already running as well. By the time, they all got settle and done, 35 minutes had pass, to include the safety briefing and allowing each child to pick a lousy nerf gun. The selection is so poor, please bring your own, or you will be highly disappointed or pay out of pocket for an UPGRADE, who pays for an upgrade at a birthday party? Really? That's another downside to this "experience". My child and friends only got to play 40 minutes in the area, 40 minutes!!!!!!!!- even though the package stated 70 minutes (misleading!!!). And, they did not play as a party, they were grouped in like chickens in a coop and played against other kids, kids we did not know, kids who were rude and spoke bad words, and were plain vulgar. Did I pay for my child to share the arena with another party and their guests? But wait that's not all, there is also limited sitting area for us, parents, so what are we supposed to do? Stand on my feet and watch my kid play for a whole hour? The accommodations for guests not playing (adults) is limited to none. We left, took a small walk in the shopping plaza and returned, never have I left my child's birthday party, but my guests weren't too happy either. Playing ended, everyone ate pizza, cake, ice cream, and enjoyed. We took pictures. At the very end, we were given tokens to play on the arcaded games. There are if I remember correctly 6 or 7 arcade games. Kids had to take turns to play, I never seen such a thing. This place is so small, and is all blue, the walls are blue, I think also the carpet? What that hell? Do something with that décor setup. When it was time to check out, I was walked to the front door and asked about my payment which a provided, and then if I wanted to give them a TIP, a TIP for what? I just paid $324, I would think the services I paid for included an attendant for the party, so why should I tip for a job you are getting paid to do? I didn't like the way I was asked to give a tip, usually I just sign the receipt and decide what to include in there. This party was not worth in my opinion $324, no way! We had so much fun a Main Event, D&B and Chucky-Cheese for god sake. I am glad my son liked when I asked if he wanted to return, he said no, am good. Let's go to D&B next. There is so much improvement that can be done with this business, but I will take my earnings somewhere else read more
