    the outside of a restaurant

    They have a whole pinball room. I love that. You can find other arcades with the usual games, the shooting games, the games to let you win tickets, air, hockey, etc. But this place has so much more. They have bowling where the ball is the size of a softball so it's inclusive of all ages. They've expanded to include escape rooms ax throwing and jelly ball which I'm assuming is some kind of paintball experience. But I really appreciate as a parent is they have time cards or you can pay for an hour of game time and the kids can go around and play certain games as much as they want within the timeframe. It's a really nice way for me as a parent to say you have an hour go have fun.

    This arcade feels pretty pricey and it's on the smaller side. My son had fun on the VR Godzilla game but it was somewhere around 10 bucks I believe. There was barely staff there and the tickets on the other game didn't even come out. I still say it's a bit hopeful.

    If you're at oviedo mall and you have time I would say stop in this place has some of the best food in the mall. Plus if you have you little one with you they have a great selection of game for the little ones to play . And if you are a little older they have an conditioned pin ball room too if that your jam.

    I have really only come here for the escape rooms. They have some great deals though which I'm definitely going to come back and try the all-day arcade. We have one escape room left to go and overall I've been impressed. Admittedly I didn't have high hopes when I first walked in. However, the rooms have some very interactive parts. My husband and I have done a room and we've done two rooms with our kids ages 11 and 16. It was definitely a good family bonding time. They never really seem to be packed on the weekdays so it's definitely a fun place to bring the kids if you're looking to get away from the crowds. The employees have been nice and helped me make my reservations online. They now have a new gellyball area which is only open for limited days currently. I'm excited to come back and try that as well.

    I came here for one thing: Life Size Hungry Hippos!!! Make sure each player has their own card to swipe. Otherwise, the first swipers have the advantage. It will only allow two swipes before the card pauses anyway. It's a short game at like $5/person. If I have some money to burn, I'd play again. I pulled up near closing time on a Sunday. Just came from a girls dinner date and this was immediately on the agenda right after. Great arm workout.

    This place is like a Dave & Buster's! It's definitely what the industry would call a family fun center. They offer all your newest redemption games, some of those the giants ice arcade games, bumper cars, some sort of a gyroscope bumper cars, mini bowling, axe throwing, pinball, beer and full bar end extensive menu of food. L'arcade here as a few classic games but mostly all the newest games that you'll see at a place like Dave and Buster's. Lots of redemption games but who doesn't like getting tickets. I have not attempted axe throwing or bumper cars or mini bowling. With a full bar, I think one day okay nice and twisted and throw some sharp objects hopefully while drinking whiskey. The owners of this location have something it's common with myself. That is pinball! What separates him from most Family Fun centers is all of their pinball machines. Leave it offer a pinball pass we can play unlimited for 30 days. The pinball pass is actually a wonderful deal even if you only come once the $30 for unlimited play for 30 days pretty much made me stay here for 12 hours.

    District Eat and Play is a welcomed addition to the Oviedo Mall! Just like the name suggests, it has food and fun things to do. This place has arcade games, boutique bowling, escape rooms, and nightly entertainment. On Tuesdays, they have half priced arcade games and BOGO bowling/escape rooms all day! I come here a lot on Tuesdays with my son so he can play the games at half price. Cruisin' USA, skeeball, and Mario Kart are favorites. District Eat and Play has a full bar to make hanging out with a bunch of kids everywhere more bearable. They have a bit of everything on their food menu. Burgers, wings, salads, sandwiches. I enjoyed the tacos and chicken tenders on previous visits. Fries are soggy but everything else I have liked. The kids meal with game card is an excellent deal - it is $10.99 for the kids meal and it includes a $10 game card. Entrance is located on the north east end of the mall near Sears. You can also enter from the inside of the mall during mall operating hours. My one wish is that the space was a bit larger. The arcade games are jam packed which makes it hard to move around sometimes. I want to try bowling and escape rooms soon. This is a great way to have some family friendly fun!

    This place still gets a 5/5! I would love to extend my regards to Joe, Britney and Anthony. Great bar tenders who know how to converse. Every time we walk into the establishment, we're always immediately recognized by these too. Also, we love to see our other favorites, Nick and Julie. Glad to continue to give this place such good ratings. Always a great time with great people here at District! We also recently tried this pizza. My God, so delicious and freshly oven baked! Their pizza is not frozen and comes with the best toppings.

    A fun addition to the Oviedo Mall scene with arcade games, mini bowling lanes and escape rooms. It's a large location with lots of different things throughout, so be sure to do a full tour to see what's available. We went here with family so that my niece and nephew could play around a bit. They are early teens, so this was perfect for them. We sat at the couches off to the side since I had the little with me and wanted to give her room to wiggle around but not touch all the games. The waitress stopped over and took our drink orders, she did check in on us as well. It was pretty slow when we were there, so most games were easily accessible. I didn't see anyone in the escape rooms, so not sure if those are reservation only? Maybe call ahead on those to be sure if you want to do that option. Overall: B A A-OK location with a lot of games and variety. They have a full bar as well for the grown folks.

    Update. Ive been here multiple times. It's a convenient stop for games for the kids for sure. There is a fairly decent variety of games to occupy some fun time. In terms of COVID precautions, I wasn't;t really impressed. There did not appear to be any capacity limitations (as the location was pretty full on the day that I went) and guests were pretty much on their own to protect themselves by distancing/masks/etc.....of course in the current social climate, that can be difficult. This is where guests should be able to rely on businesses to apply policies that help protect them. In any case, District Eat and Play can be a fun place to go - I'll likely refrain until we move into a bit safer timeline in e-cards to the pandemic, but I look forward to being able to do an escape room again....or perhaps the axe throwing that they've added.

I think some of the rhythm games could maybe be less loud or maybe more contained since a lot of them are next to one another and it gets hard to hear the game you're playing. A few of them are also difficult since they are in Japanese only, so it'd be nice to have a little guide on how-to-play. Most are pretty intuitive, but some are more difficult to figure out. Our last visit, one of the basketball machines wasn't working and the skee-ball was a little wonky. The 1 vs. 1 games on the 2nd floor were fun as well. We always end with a few games of pinball on our way out. Some of the games you can see the wear-and-tear since my last few visits, so I hope they are doing well enough where they can repair or replace them soon. I don't think I've tried any of their food or drinks, but there's a lot of shops nearby to eat and drink before or after visiting!

I have three boys so of course nothing is going to be cheap. For two activities it cost $128 dollars. They were busy so for instance the rope course we had to wait for several times. The mini golf is glow in the dark but not a large scale just a miniature option. There was a cord in the middle of one of the holes which is a hazard if someone tripped over it. They have several activities to choose from being ropes course, rock climbing, bowling, arcade, laser tag, axe throwing. You do get some arcade credits but they're kind of a waste counting on each kid got 60 credits and one game was 30 credits. We didn't eat here but I did have a drink from the bar, the bartender was kinda and fast and the drink was good for the money. The staff seemed to be pretty nice. I mean at the end of the day you do what you can in a setting like this.

The fair brings many technology schools, which set place in the main floor, with their displays, software, students, alumni and faculty. I was able to go into many virtual reality worlds, which is the hot things now, and I can say that the technology is pretty cool. On the floor above, there was a medical application exhibit, for kids who are inclined towards healthcare. And then on the top floor, you find the graphic designers and artists who use electronic medium. On the top floor also, you could find other interactive equipment used by the military. You could fly a helicopter, drive a tank, fly a plane, etc. My favorite, and main reason for going, was the Indie Game Showcase. I love animation, I love video games although I don't play, I love graphics and I love basic human ingenuity. Talking to all these developers and creators was amazing, as well as trying out their games. The bottom floor was part of the permanent exhibit, no technology there. Overall, I liked the expo, although I did not see ground braking technology. It is more like a massive school fair where kids checkout future schools. But it was fun, although I would have given more emphasis to the game developers. My opinion. Oh! Yes, before I forget.

I'm constantly blown away by the creativity and the genius behind a lot of the showcases from Full Sail University, University of Central Florida, and other colleges and high schools. Gives me hope for the future. Anyway, I've added a few pictures so you can see how much my man-child enjoyed himself!
