You meet up with an old college friend for a meal and then decide to take her to laser tag…read more You both realize after the fact that this was absolutely a date. 15 years later, you're married with three kids and they're old enough to go to Shadowland. Let's go! I was sad when the Columbia location closed down, but Gaithersburg is still rocking and I think this arena is far more interesting than the Columbia one. The arena is the right level of dark with fog machines running too. There are several platforms with various access ramps. My favorite details is that a few platforms have a grate where players can shoot down at others below (watch out, they can shoot up at you too!). There are always rapid fire and mega power Gems for upgrades and a third that rotates by game (invisibility, invulnerability, dark thief), so definitely sign up for 3 games if you can to experience the full rotation. The prices are reasonable, especially in today's economy. There is a water cooler to refresh yourself between games, because you will work up a sweat between the crouching and quick moving around while wearing a phaser pack. It's our favorite workout, to be honest. There is an arcade with a variety of games, including prize games, driving games, and shooting games. The main area also has concessions to snack on. Overall, if you want some workout and fun, check out Shadowland.

The laser tag area and equipment looked good and was approved by the kids. They played two rounds and ate in between. It was a very successful party and according to my son his favorite one.

Unfortunately, he took the overall win, but I did beat his score in one round by a landslide, so I'm counting that as a small victory. There were five of us, and we grabbed a quick bite while we played. Both my competitor and I ordered the Parmesan Garlic Chicken Caesar Salad, and I have to say--the chicken was outstanding. Crispy, well-seasoned, and easily some of the best I've had. Definitely not what I expected, but I'd order it again without hesitation. We also went with the Eat & Play Combo, which includes a $10 play card (40 chips) and one of six food options. The website initially made it seem like a flat $20 deal, which felt a bit misleading, but upon rereading, it does say "starting at $20." Overall, we had a great time, and I'd definitely come back to this location!

We started out in the bar dining area, where our waiter was great--friendly and attentive. We ordered the 10-for-10 wings and a burger, both solid choices. After eating, we played a few games, which is always entertaining at Dave & Buster's. We ended the night with some shuffleboard. It was our first time playing with electronic scoring, and while it was a bit challenging, it was still a lot of fun. Overall, a good visit and a nice way to spend the evening!

The cleanest Bowlero I have ever been too. Tucked away behind a gas station, this bowling alley is…read moregreat place for a night out with friends. Prices varies on what you do here but it's great if you go with a group if anything. Once again I would like to mention that the Arcade while it is another thing to do here, it's something I wouldn't recommend unless you want some quick arcade fun or you are trying to pass the time. The prizes aren't worth getting as stated in my other review but that doesn't mean it's something to chase after either. Food and drinks are decent, we got the party sampler and loaded nachos to eat. I think the food came out quick but I strongly recommend you order at the bar. It seems like anytime I try to use the machine at the bowling lane I'm in my card never works and I end up frustrated having to go over to the bar instead. Save your self the time and just go there honestly. The bowling itself still ran into the same issues as the other Bowlero I went to, sometimes it'd just skip another persons turn and knock down pins and we'd have to reset by using the pin spotter command but since it was just casual play it didn't bother us too much. I just think if this is a common issue every other location, then for anyone that's competitive could see this as a gripe. Can't go wrong with Bowlero, I think it's still a good place despite the mishaps. This location is my favorite so far!

They provided some juice boxes; we brought extra snacks and drinks, 7 pizzas from ledos and a cake. The whole experience was smooth and the kids were happy. That's all that matters. The equipment looked clean and in good shape. The party was for a 7 year old. Kids invited ranged from 4-10. All of them had a blast!

Parents, if you're in the area, this is a must do. It was a little out of the way for me, but so worth the travel.

I picked this place to surprise my husband with a Father's Day activity. This was both of our 1st visit. Our boys had been at least twice by now. It's a nice big facility, with plenty of parking, clean premises, plenty of space to still social distance whether mandated or not. We all had so much fun and the food was so good! We were assisted by Jordan and Shae who were pretty awesome. We were up on bay 307, I forgot I'm scared of heights when I requested that high bay. My family enjoyed it, that was all that mattered to me. Please believe I will be down on the 1st or 2nd floor next time! We had a great time and I look forward to returning again sooner than later! On 3.28.2026 We were assisted by Josh at our bay who was pretty awesome. He was very humble, consistent, and pleasant. We ordered Green Tea Shots, Hot Toddy, Wings, Burger, and a Chicken Sandwich. All tasty and good.

There always a lot going on but it still feels structured and that's what matters most lol. It's easy to book, parties or just regular jump time. Today I booked regular jump for 5pm. At 3:30 ( you can book same day within the hour). Parking is easy, location is safe, there's other amenities. They also have certain "events" on certain days . I know for my daughter's birthday we had her party on a glow in the dark night, and this is something they regularly offer. So there's variety and fun. It's been 4 years ( since we been coming here) and I can honestly say they become a go to.
