From our first conversation, Andrew made me feel at ease. Not only is he a talented and knowledgeable event expert, but he's also fun and genuinely funny, which made the entire planning experience enjoyable and stress-free. Andrew was more than a vendor--he was a true collaborator. He listened to all my ideas, offered thoughtful insights, and helped shape every detail into something even better than I imagined. His sense of humor and positive energy kept things light, while his professionalism ensured that nothing was overlooked. On the day of the event, Andrew and his team were on-site going above and beyond to help ensure everything went seamlessly. Their props, supplies, creative input and especially the lighting completely transformed the space, giving it a polished and celebratory feel. I cannot say enough good things about Andrew and the Ampa team. They turned a potentially overwhelming project into a creative, joyful journey--and helped deliver an unforgettable event. Highly recommended!

I was there for a private event. The crowd was warm and wonderfully mixed. There was a little chat before the event began that basically told us to not get kicked out by being mean or non-inclusive. Not sure how I felt about that. Parking in Carytown is its own contact sport. Come early -- your blood pressure will thank you. I parked 6 blocks away and was lucky to get that. Bottom line: Weird, welcoming, and worth every lap around the block looking for a spot if you're into crowds and are looking for something different.

Came here with friends and it seems like a cool spot, especially for an older crowd. We purchased…read moretickets expecting a jazz experience, but the music was not jazz at all, which was a bit disappointing. The art exhibitions were nice and definitely interesting to walk through. The charcuterie board we ordered was excellent and a highlight of the night. The location is also great for nightlife. That said, the drinks didn't quite hit the mark for me, and the service was inconsistent. We were told guests are expected to be quiet during the sets, yet another group was talking loudly and nothing was addressed, which felt a bit uneven. Overall, it's not a place I'd return to, and I wouldn't recommend it if you're looking for a more diverse crowd.

Pelagos VR

Our second visit wasn't as great as our first. I'd like this place to succeed because it's…read moredifferent and fun but I think the price point is prob too high given the inconsistency of the experience. The first time we came it was on time and we loved the Dragon Tower escape room: it was the perfect mix of puzzle and action. This time we showed up 10 minutes early and they said they were running 5-10 minutes behind because of "cleaning issues". Well it turned into 20 minutes late so thankfully we already canceled our dinner reservations. I think it would've been fine if it wasn't $250 for a family of five for 38 minutes and the ninja trials escape room was not as exciting or interesting as dragon tower. Also one of the equipment pieces we were given was faulty so that made it less fun for one of us.

Pelagos VR is a fantastic addition to the area for unique entertainment, and there are so many…read moreoptions within it! Just as a quick rundown, there are three main types of VR here: the front area where you are strapped into a VR system and can run in place, a virtual escape room, and a VR action arena (large room with VR cameras on the walls and you can physically run around). I haven't tried the escape room and I liked the strap-in ones, though it's the VR arena that really elevates this place. So far I have done Patient Zero and several rounds of the Urban Assault in the arena, and it's an amazing experience. Between the excellent physical tracking, the true-recoil VR guns, and the actual movement in the real world mapping to the VR world, it is insanely immersive and easy to adapt to. It is quite exciting too: I was fortunate enough to participate in their latest tournament and it was chaotic fun from start to finish. The tournaments are a special treat because for now the entry fee is only $20 while the regular experiences run a fair bit more, so it's an insanely good deal for the amount of fun you're having. On top of the excellent experiences, I would be remiss if I didn't highlight their incredible staff. This is mostly a family-run place and it shows with how kind and personable everyone here is, with positive attitudes, a true love for what they do, and excellent mastery of VR tech and training new players. I have met the owner twice and he goes out of his way to make everyone feel welcome and appreciated for their visits. The most underrated part here is actually nothing to do with VR but actually their bar offerings: the happy hour here is every day of the week (including weekends) and you can get $4 beers (including a few local drafts) and very reasonably priced appetizers. If I were in the area and just wanted a quick beer with a friend before doing something else, I would absolutely come here for it at those fantastic prices. Since Pelagos VR is attached to the mall, there is plenty of lot parking very close by, so no issues there. Really the only drawback of this place is the price, particularly if you come by yourself or one other person as their price structure rewards larger groups. I would absolutely come here with a friend group because of that though a date night here would add up fast. I look forward to coming here again with friends, especially for the tournaments. This is one heck of an outing to look forward to! Overall: 5.0 stars ---- Pros: - Amazing and unique VR experiences, truly memorable in every way. - Multiple options, including stationary running, open arena, or escape room. - Fantastic staff who are kind, knowledgeable, and clearly happy to be there. - Excellent happy hour food deals, worth trying even without the VR. - Easy parking and access since attached to the mall. - Pricing for large groups and the tournaments are great... Cons: - ...though the cost for a small group (especially for only one or two people) is a bit prohibitive unless you have deep pockets. Their pricing is entirely reasonable given what you get for it, though this is really the only thing that keeps me from going every week. Maybe one day they'll have a membership or a punchcard pass option!

So to begin with, I called them twice on two separate days leaving a message for someone to call me back to answers questions I had about their services and I received no response until after I emailed them to call me (on the third attempt to contact them)and finally Kim called back. When she called she wasn't pleasant and right ask me for the location the event would be held and the dates I was looking to book services. I gave her the information and I was asking about pricing because I wanted to mix the two occasions (birthday and graduation) together with multiple activities. Kim seemed very antsy and rushed(a very challenging thing when I'm a HUGE person about great customer service). She asked me to follow her on the computer to see the different party packages they have. So I did. I told her I was interested in the video game rover for sure and I may add on other things depending on cost. I asked her about fuel charges because they were not listed there. To which then she asked me again for the event address(same address I gave her at the beginning of the call) so she could calculate the amount as well as what activities I was requesting. Then she told me it was about 1hr 45min each way to get to my location which was about 93 miles one way. I said okay. I asked again "how much is the fuel charge"? She states that the fuel charge is combined with the distance fee and some other taxes that she wanted to give me the total of everything as one. I said okay what's the total. In my opinion, at this point I've already made up in my mind that I wasn't going to use their services. Her customer service skills was just too bad for me and I could only imagine what type of service I'd receive once they got my money. So she finally tells me that my total would be $676.14. The party package was only $399 for 2 1/2 hour of just the video rover. I politely thanked her for her time and told her that was too expensive for the budget I had for JUST the rover. I had just spoken with another company a few days before and for that price or a little more I was offered a LOT more activities. The only reason I didn't go with them is because they were too far out. Kim asked me who was the other company and what were they going to charge. I asked her does it really matter if you can't match what they're doing ?? She goes to then tell me about the things you get with their service(which she should have explained when she first got on the phone with me) and how "other company's service" is not as good as hers and that she has coupons for others in the area with the same line of business because she owns half of them. I was like really?? Okay well thanks but no thanks I choose not to use your business at this time. This is one purchase I'm happy about not making. My initial instinct told me to go another direction when I first contacted them and received no response after 48 hours when their Facebook page says they are always open. I tried to reach out anyway and see what happens and I'm just happy this happened before I paid her any money. Little did she know if her service was up to par(at minimum) I would easily spent $1000 for her activities just for my children and given them tons of referrals for future reference.
