The Explore Pass allows "free" entry and limited access to some of the activities--bumper cars, laser tag, ball fort, laser maze, and a 360° video game. The laser tag arena is much bigger than i thought it would be (looking from the outside). Fun Lab is big enough to house multiple fun activities, but not too large so watching kids is a nightmare. There are non-inclusive activities (more $$) that seem fun. There is a cafeteria, too. Pros: - Lots of cool activities - Indoors - Great deal if you get the Explore Pass Cons: -Blaine is somewhat put of the way for us

Visited the fun lab on a Sunday and was surprised at how empty the place was this was great for us…read moreand our first visit. We walked in unsure what to do and stood next to two staff at the front desk for a couple minutes before being greeted. We used our explorer pass from Groupon which allowed for a visit do try most of the attractions. A lot of stuff was broken (laser tag maze, laser tag vests, games, blowers in the ball area) or no staff were available to let us know how to use it. What we could use was fun the bumper cars and arcade were favorites for our five year old. We purchased an additional pass for the bumper cars he had to go again. Overall it was okay for the prices, but there are other options around the cities if you're willing to spend a little more.

We love the Mermaid! Come for the affordable late night bowling and stay for some beer and pizza…read more The manager, Keith, is very nice and we love the waitress who is usually working the bowling lanes. Coming to the Mermaid is a special treat for our kids, who enjoy bumper bowling and the arcade games. Mom and Dad like all the craft beer options they have on tap and the solid pepperoni pizza. I'll be honest, I haven't tried other menu options but I intend to one of these days. I love that they brought the Mermaid status back - check it out!

Giving three stars due to our initial service. We had a large group, and tables were open, the…read moresassy waitress said we could wait while she cleans them and have those tables, so we waited only to be told by her that she's unsure if we can have those tables now. After 15mins of waiting, seriously? To top it off, she had quite the attitude. She went to find the manager to see if we could indeed, sit at the three open tables - after waiting some more, the manager said we could have them after an additional 30min wait - because the section had too many people. First of all, I wouldn't have even waited the first 15mins had I know all this from the start - we would've just went to the bowling side first. I told the manager that we were going to go to the bowling side, to which he replied they are also busy so we probably won't get a spot - literally a 2min wait and we were set with three lanes. The good part - our waitress at the bowling alley, she was great and the bowling staff was super helpful and nice! After about 30mins, the manager comes to find us at the bowling alley, to ask us if we wanted those tables again...uh no, we are already seated? So when I said no thank you, he laughed in annoyance and walked off.

He was responsive, and everyone was informed and coordinated when I arrived. Emily was very attentive as our server, and paid attention to details like providing plates for cake that we brought in, and having lables for the pitchers of pop. Everything worked out just as planned, and everyone had such a good time. The pizza and waffle fries are always good, which is why we chose them for the party. Also, bowling was a hit for a little competition and movement after all the food. It was a great time!

I really, really appreciate that. Also, their food really exceeded my expectations. The flatbread pizza is fancy! I just expected a freeze and bake papa johns kinda pizza but its restaurant quality. Their nacho deluxe and boneless wings are delicious! After bowling, the kids love to play at the arcade. So many games to choose from! The facilities are pretty clean and they have automatic bumpers and ramps for kids. Highly recommend this place!

I've been wanting to visit here for a while. Upon entering, you are welcomed by a staff member who…read moreis very friendly and helpful, with reasonable pricing for the token. I don't remember the rest, but I saw $10 for 10 tokens or $20 for 25 tokens. Those are the prices I was looking at. It turns out I spent a total of $40. It's a great place for little kids. You are given a bag to keep all of the plush in. The win ratio was good too. I think in 45 minutes, I had 13 plushies total + 1 keychain, and I traded 10 plush for a giant Jigglypuff. I wish all the machines were one token, but some were 1, 2, or 4 tokens. (Like Spiderman was 2 tokens...) Prize trade-in was good. The highest cost was 12 plushies. The big one like Jigglypuff was 10. The next was 5 plushies. They also have some Pop Mart items in a shelf. No labubu. Check out their Facebook page or Instagram for hour updates. They just went into their summer hours. Unfortunately, Yelp won't let me suggest an edit for a Facebook or Instagram link.

She likes claw arcades…read more Down the street from my house too, I've driven past this place so many times and had not checked them out. Cute little arcade, they have 2 rows of claw machines to play, some claw machine requires 1 to 3 tokens. Depending on how big the teddy bears are. Once you enter, you're greeted by the cashier that explains everything. The tokens are $1 each, the more you purchase will get extra. For example I chose $30 and I received 35 tokens. Cashier handed us the tokens in a basket and clear bag for your winnings. Once you're done playing, you can trade the stuffed animals for something else behind the counter. Fun place for kids or dates.

Oh wow. I know some people won't appreciate the state of this theatre…read more It really is not updated, and I really like that. Man, it brings me back to the days at Carmike theatres and I can't even put into words how much I appreciate being brought back in time like that. Sure, there is a bunch of things that could use fixing up and more of the areas could be fixed or cleaned, but I was never expecting to be placed in essentially a time capsule. Against what others probably feel, I hope they keep it like this, maybe update a few things, but keep the retro vibe.

It almost seems like some of the items were too slippery so you couldn't get a good drip on them. Claw games are notoriously bad though so I don't see this as too different from a standard claw machine. The workers might help with placement of a particular item for kids so ask for some help. I'm appreciative of their help and still think it's worth a visit.

My first time visiting a claw arcade. We were grabbing coffee next door and needed to waste a bit…read moreof time before our next plans. We luckily got there early before it got busier. It's a smaller arcade. They have a prize upgrade system as well as if you win a prize out of a claw machine and it's not the color you want they let you swap it with a different one (has to be from the same machine). They are also kind enough to "reset" the plushies to help make it easier to win them. It for sure can get addicting quick trying to win particular plushies. They do charge a small fee for using cards vs cash, so I suggest bringing a bit of cash. You also get more tokens the more you buy. Each machine takes 1 token to play. I felt like the prizes were a lot better quality than what I thought they would be. You can trade 15 of the smaller plushies for a big one (or different prizes in general). Overall a fun place. Plenty of parking in the strip mall lot. Nice staff.
