    Really neat idea for building a gaming community and bringing together fans of both new and nostalgic titles.

    Was a lot cooler before they raised the prices. Now it's way overpriced for what you get.

    All day for $12...incredible value if you're there for 2-3 hours. Chairs are comfy, I really liked the rock and setup.

    This place is absolutely beautiful inside, and I genuinely understand that "new businesses" need…read moresome time to work through the inevitable startup kinks. That said, if I were rating the overall experience based solely on execution today, it probably would have been closer to 2-3 stars. We rented the "Sports Simulator" booth and received very little instruction on how the games worked. Some games required using a golf club, while others required using the actual ball, and there wasn't much guidance on which was which. On top of that, the simulator frequently failed to recognize the ball. Eventually, we were moved from one simulator booth to another, which worked better and at least kept our boys (ages 9 and 11) entertained. We also weren't sure how food and drink service worked. We ended up going directly to the bar to place our orders because we didn't know the intended process. Again, a little direction would have gone a long way in helping us enjoy the full experience. The drinks were excellent, but the food was just average. My biggest suggestion would be to provide guests with a quick orientation or post simple instructional signage in each booth. A poster explaining how the simulators work, how to order food and drinks, and any other important information would make a huge difference. We ended up spending a significant portion of our rental time trying to figure out the process instead of enjoying it. Overall, I think this place has a lot of potential. The facility itself and the remodel is gorgeous, and once the operational details are ironed out, I can see it becoming a fantastic destination. We're rooting for you guys and would definitely give it another try!

    Had my kid's birthday party here, and honestly, everyone had a great time. We did the laser tag…read morepackage which included the party room for 1 hour, 2 laser tag games, 4 rides and 200 tokens for the arcade. The kids had a blast! So did the adults. The laser tag was extremely fun for the kids! Man, I had forgotten how much fun laser tag is until I saw my kid and her friends playing. Then the party room was simple, but served its purpose really well. Our party hostess, Karrina, was really great with the kids and made sure the party kept moving along. I think what I liked the best about the experience for the party, was that our hostess walked the kids around to the rides and through the arcade so they could familiarize themselves with the layout of the Boardwalk. As I was talking with the adults, we were discussing competitors like Bowlero and Lucky Strike and how unreasonably priced it is for a family of four now a days. Just the arcades there are so expensive! Here, the kids were able to make their tokens last for hours and walked away with some fun prizes too. I hope the prices never get ridiculously high here. I grew up going to Parkway Bowl and the Boardwalk. I am so happy that the accessible pricing has remained. Additional shout outs to MC and Noelle (staff members who were very helpful and attentive). Please don't change Parkway! Thank you for allowing us to host an epic party!

    Timing is everything…read more They plan these huge collaborations on weekends which is great for accessibility but the poor staff is swamped trying to accommodate it's not fair to anyone The lines are insanely long during these If you want the green all you can play timer you can only add it with a team member in that long long which is very annoying you can reload everything else from your phone or a kiosk. Even Chuck E. Cheese lets you self add time even pause time to eat that would have been incredible for bowling Food takes forever but when I looked in the kitchen only 2 people were in the kitchen during that massive release Almost all the machines work which is impressive for an arcade this size there were very few left out of service so def kudos there

    My family and I visited Round1 a few weeks ago, and overall, the experience was just okay…read more The facility itself is huge, with a large bowling area and plenty of arcade games to keep everyone entertained. We visited on a Friday afternoon, and it wasn't very busy. One thing to be aware of is that bowling is on a strict timer. By the time we paid, put on our bowling shoes, and selected our bowling balls, our 60-minute session had already been reduced. It would have been nice if the timer started once we actually began bowling. We considered extending our time, but the concession stand was completely out of food, which was surprising given that it was a Friday afternoon and the facility wasn't crowded. My mom and I also ordered glasses of wine, but unfortunately the wine tasted spoiled, so we didn't drink it. The waiter opened a new bottle of wine that tasted a lot better than the first glass. Overall, the experience didn't meet our expectations. While the facility has a lot to offer, the issues with the bowling timer, lack of food availability, and spoiled wine left us disappointed. We'll probably choose a different bowling alley the next time we're looking for a place to bowl.

Bar tender was fast and efficient despite the crowds! We bowled for 2 hrs/$40 per person. And a pair of socks costs $7. Overall, the vibe was energetic and upbeat! Music was on point!

I would have loved to get involved in more of the activities and games, but the heat and humidity were really killing my energy. Just an hour in, the entire work team was dripping in sweat (I can only imagine how rough it was for the staff). To our understanding, the AC had been broken for over a week--plenty of time to at least get some big fans or whatnot to keep the air moving. Overall, I was really excited to check out this location, and it turned out to be a pretty unpleasant experience.

    We love this indoor playground for our 5 year old daughter. It is located in Grossmont Center,…read morewhich makes it super convenient for playtime after running errands or shopping in the area. I really appreciate all the new additions and renovations. We were out of town for about a month and when we came back, so many of the play stations had been updated. It definitely did not go unnoticed and shows they are investing in the space. One thing I love about this place is how often the staff cleans and reorganizes. No matter how busy it gets, it never feels messy. It also never smells like feet in there, which is honestly a big problem at other indoor playgrounds. The staff does a great job maintaining a clean and pleasant environment. The only downside for us is that our daughter is growing out of it a little too fast. She can get bored if there are not other kids her age to play with. This is truly a great spot for younger children. I do wish they offered an hourly rate instead of requiring a full day pass, because sometimes you just need a quick hour or two to let the kids get their wiggles out. Overall, it is a wonderful, well maintained playground and we will continue recommending it to families with younger kids.

The place is always very clean and the staff are constantly sanitizing, especially after a child leaves a station, which we really appreciate. It is a great place to bring our son and very fulfilling in terms of fun, excitement, and play. It is definitely one of our favorite spots. The staff are always kind and respectful, and it never feels overcrowded. There is always just the right amount of kids and parents to enjoy the space comfortably.
