Let's go! I came here with my family. We had so much fun! 20 minutes doesn't sound like a long time but it's enough. The staff was so kind and helpful! We left tired, sweaty and laughing all the time. We're looking forward to visiting again! read more

So many options on what to do. There are speakers for you to use in the rooms, which make it even more fun. They have add on items for purchase as well. We had a blast and will be back. read more

Went here for Father's Day. Never been here before and wanted to just check it out. My daughter has been doing this thing where she wants to break all my old car parts. I figured that this would be a perfect fit. Didn't know what to expect other than 'hulk smash' moments. Do yourself a solid and make a reservation. Sure you can walk-in but it just helps. Upon walking in, they asked, we did, and we were all good to go. They gave us our 'stuff' in the room to destroy and it was neat seeing what was considered as therapeutic for each of us. My wife loved tossing the bottles at the rim in the corner. The sound and the visual of the glass seemed to work for her. My daughter went all 'office space' and just loved smashing plastic. Me... I liked using the sledge hammer on the microwave. Something about being able to go all-in for me worked. We each found our niche and LOVED it. Hands-down we will TOTALLY come back. It's a great way to release some stress and have fun while doing it. Don't forget to tip the crew that cleans up after ya! =) Thanks Destruction Room for the great time! Food Taste: snacks are around Overall Service: 5 Value of service to cost: 5 Facility: 5 Ambiance: Small location that fits the intent. Cool game room area for waiting n chillin. Repeat customer: yes! Dog Friendly: no.. but I mean.. not smart to bring one here. read more

Stress relief is an understatement , we did 20 minutes of destruction and wow did I feel like weight had been lifted . We had a bit of hard time finding it but a quick phone call to the location and they got us straight . Also 10/10 would do it again!!! read more

Very cool place and my daughter really loved it! It's a nice touch that you can play your own music too. I really like the old video game consoles you could play on while you waited! Lots of fun! read more

Great workout. Although I didn't participate, I did watch the kids enjoy their time. We might've been one of the first ones to try out their new location with several rooms. They just moved in and was a little hard to find, but the concept is pretty cool. I was worried about the glass with my younger one and they accommodated by replacing with other options. read more

We came here with three teenagers. For 15 minutes we got glass bottles and a flat screen tv. There were three tools to use. We paid $115ish. They had us complete waivers. Then we were given face protection and gloves. The kids took a before picture and an after picture. I think I would have liked to have seen a few more items for them. They have a gamer station with a few Nintendos and some other games. They also had a few board games as well. My only complaint is the scent. It was a little strong for us with allergies. read more

This place is just ok for me. I honestly think it's a bit over priced. For 4 people I paid $170, for 30min of destruction. The staff were friendly and amazing, but due to the cost, I'm not sure we will be back. Kids did have a blast though. I also expected it to be bigger. read more

Workers were absolutely polite, professional, and compassionate about their job. Not once have i ever felt uncomfortable, discriminated, or out of place in this business--they have all showed care about everything that was going on. Even though i got a cut on my finger, they were quick to whip out their first aid kit and help sanitize the wound before helping me out with a band-aid. I will definitely come back here! The items they provided me for my package were perfect--not too big and not too small--as well as them having good crowbars and mallets to destroy them with. In the lobby, there are games for you or your friends to play while you or they are in the destroy room, which i like very much as you dont have to sit around and wait for however minutes you bought. Their merch is simple yet unique with the material being a good one. At their display case, they also sell crystals!! Outside the destroy rooms, the place is neat and clean. Inside the destroy rooms looks so badass. Let your anger, pain, and stress out at this place! Definitely worth it :) read more

The Destruction Room - destroyed glass and electronics scattered on the ground - Recreation Centers Near Me - Virginia Beach, Virginia

I came here with my best friend for a bro-date. He had a relic of a coupon for him "+1". It was so old that it still had furniture as an option to destroy! Well... it didn't really work. I still had to pay full price for my time to destroy things. We had a number of objects from old computer monitors, old speakers, a boombox, beer bottles (which easily bounce), glass plates and a couple of someone's grandma's tea sets. We had the option to take a 30-40" TV in for a price and would get 1/2 off if we could fold it like a taco. We passed on that. While you wait to head inside, you'll have to fill out your waiver. There's a plethora of old-school video games available to pass the time while you wait for your room to open. Some of these games cost money but the old systems like the Nintendo kept us busy Back to the room and smashing things! To start, you have to suit up and protect your goods while in the room. This included a helmet with face shield, and gloves. I wish the gloves were thicker because my hands were bruised from crushing all of the items we had available. Depending on the package you buy, it gives you different items and a time limit to destroy everything in reach, other than the room itself and your best friend. Sweet bonus, they even included a portable speaker to blast your favorite tunes on while you make big things into smaller things. We had a great time in the room. Mostly trying not to smack each other accidentally by a bouncing beer bottle. Or, an off swing from the crowbar. We had a sledge hammer available but it wore us down crushing things on the tires. The tires are there not to inflict damage on the room/floor itself. I'd go back to blow off steam anytime. I felt like the amount of things available to break and the time was enough to keep busy. I just wish the gloves were a bit thicker and there were more weapons like maybe a baseball bat or frying pan. read more

The Destruction Room - The aftermath! - Recreation Centers Near Me - Virginia Beach, Virginia

This place is awesome!! We went here as a mom and daughter date!. I've been wanting to do this and visit this place but due to the covid they're been close! Now I'm so glad they're finally open!! We did the reservations thru their website! (Easy and self explanatory) The owner is actually nice and he actually go extra miles (awesome customer relationship and service) So we got the basic one (10mins) At first I thought 10mins is not enough but surprisingly it's really good/just enough time for us to really enjoy it! We will definitely gonna go back here and do it again! It's a fun date for all types and time! A really good releases of all negativity feelings (specially right now due covid) Highly recommended place read more

A friend was celebrating her 40th birthday and she decided to spend the day relieving stress... by breaking stuff (that and booze afterwards!) So a bunch of us went to the Destruction Room off of Shore Drive on Saturday, 11/23/19. I was late since I came directly from my nephew's b'ball game. One thing I noticed - unless you already know where they're located it's easy to drive right past them. They are located in a small strip mall on the right, just past the final Shore Drive exit from Northampton before the CBBT. I was coming from Northampton and, even though I was using Google Maps flew right on by. I had to make 2 u-turns to get back, but oh well, lesson learned. Also, the parking lot is small, so if you come with a big group (which we did) it can fill up fast. The Destruction Room itself is comprised of two separate rooms, both of which are specifically designed to break stuff. Four people, at most, can go in for a session and, if you opt for the full package, you can break stuff like plates, mugs, printers, monitors and small wooden endtables (I was told that much of the stuff that you get to break is donated; they were gonna end up in a landfill anyways). You have aluminum bats and sledgehammers (and even just plain regular hammers) at your disposal, but you are not allowed to use the sledgehammer to hit the floor. You must wear a jumpsuit and protective eyewear while in the room (they provide both; gloves, too!) and they provide the music (although they will allow you to play your own stuff). Music, as we all know, sets the mood, so they play a lot of hard rock/metal to get you amped. From what the staff told me, Destruction Room is mainly appointment-only. We had a big group, so it made sense to schedule. But considering there are only two rooms they would have to book potential customers. Plus, they offer different rates, so you can come in and just play baseball with some "fine" china, or you can splurge and go buckwild on a printer, a la Office Space. Whichever you choose, the entire experience is a blast and a total adrenaline rush once you get to smashin'. And, I cannot forget, the staff is friendly and super-nice! JV read more

This place is AWESOME! We brought the stress and they cleaned the mess is an understatement. My friends and I literally DESTROYED so much stuff, but let me tell you, I walked away feeling so much better. Incredibly military, and emergency services friendly. The owner is congenial, polite, and not pushy. I can't wait for them to eventually bring back destroying a car :). I definitely recommend! When I first say 25 minutes I was like "that's it?" But let me tell you, it's a workout in there! Drink lots of water! I'm definitely doing this again :). They also have another destroy room where you destroy colored glass and then can make a mosaic. So you being the negative inside of you and out of it you can build a positive and something beautiful. read more

This place was so amazing. This was our first time visiting a place like this. They were so informative and helpful! I would definitely revisit again. They've made me want to visit the one where we are from in Richmond. I would definitely revisit again if in the area. read more

My sister and I took my mom here for her birthday last week to try something a little different and it was AWESOME!! You start off with a plate where you write down something that is frustrating you and that's the first item you break in the destruction room! You get tons of glass items and appliances you can throw or use a bat and sledge hammer to break! You can pick your own music! You can all go in the same room together if you want too! I love that they recycle all broken items for art mosaic classes and for energy purposes! Highly recommend this place! Birthdays, date nights, guys nights, bachelor parties....so fun!!! read more

If I could give more than five stars I would. This place is fantastic! Everything about this place was perfect. We brought in a gigantic group of talkative, loud girls and they were so patient with us. They allowed us to cater, decorate, play our music loud, and hang out. The owner was fantastic and so nice!! He laid out the rules for us clear and concise and made sure we stayed safe as we destroyed the place. 10/10 would do again! read more

My friend and I enjoyed this place. The owners were so nice and friendly. We were provided with coveralls, gloves and goggles. They also played the music of our choice while we broke things. We had 25 minutes to break glasses, plates, appliances and furniture. It was so much fun. A great stress reliever or just a place to go to have fun. The owner also took pictures and videos and sent them to us. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone. read more

Had such a fun time ! Very clean and practice good covid precautions! Staff is very nice and its good to let out stress

Hands down one of THE best places to go if you need a good adrenaline rush. When my friend and I first pulled up we thought it was a little sketchy that the signs took us behind the building rather than in front, but the service is actually a room attached to the paddle board shop next door so it's understandable since they also just opened a few months ago. The owners were super nice, gave us plates to write all of our stresses on, and the environment was controlled and very safe. They let us go HAM on everything that we ordered ($15 for 5 min package of glass items and medium items). We wish time didn't fly so fast and regret not getting the 10 minutes or more! But we are already planning our appointment to see them again and cannot wait! read more

So much fun and a great way to smash away stress! Owners are super nice people. Fun for couples, friends, groups, heck try it alone with your favorite jams! read more

Booked here for my birthday this past year and we had an AMAZING time! The staff was friendly and helpful. None of us had experienced a rage room before, so we didn't know what to expect, but we were greeted with awesome attitudes. Our party was 15 people and in total, our reservation was up to two hours. We did have a dinner reservation to get to, so the staff made sure that everyone had ample time in each of the rooms to get all their rage out. Definitely know where I'm heading the next time I'm overwhelmed with stress! read more

Fun stuff! This was an awesome experience to be able to smash a bunch of items without any worries. The owners were great and made sure we had a good and safe time. Would definitely recommend and are looking forward to our next destruction session! Will also consider donating some "junk" we don't need for others to smash. I like that they also responsibly recycle and reuse much of the smashed byproducts. read more

I'm had an appointment at 6:00. They have 15 min policy where you would have to reschedule if you show up 15 After your reservation time. I walked in at 6:15 exactly and I was told I had to reschedule. I understand policies but Declining at the 15 mark is a bit much. read more

Had a BLAST being destructive and releasing some stress with my sister tonight! We had been wanting to try something like this for a while, and when we saw it was one in the area, we immediately, decided to try it out! The lady who assisted us was super nice and professional when setting us up and explaining the whole process to us. We definitely plan on going back soon with our husbands!! read more

A great date idea! It's a little hard to spot from the road but it's a gem for sure, a great, safe place to relieve stress

SO COOL!! It's a safe and controlled way to break stuff! Whether you have nervous energy, frustration, want to break something or even want to break a sweat, this is the place to do it! Aaron and team were friendly and informative. They supplied the safety gear and a jumpsuit to protect clothing. We'll definitely be back!! read more

Great spot. They stayed open late for us to get there and do our thing. Recommend for a fun/distressful event.

This place was an absolute blast! The owner is super nice, patient (with a group of loud, rowdy girls) & helpful. We were provided all the equipment we needed to be protected during our destruction & we all had a great time. We can't wait to go back! read more

The owners of the Destruction Room are great. It was great to see that they provided stress relief support to furloughed employees during the government shutdown. I know that meant a lot to many people in that community. The destruction room was an absolute blast. Will definitely recommend to anyone to give it a try. read more
