Venturing into the former (what I thought would be vacant) Keg and Case, I slowly discovered a…read moretotally fresh concept with what appeared to be pinball only machines setup on the exterior level at first glance. Upon further investigation, I learned how it all works post speaking with the staff member. First off, the pinball exterior machines are ran by a totally different company than Starcade and all those machines are .25 cents each. Starcade is stucked inside the former giant main restaurant of Keg and Case which offers unlimited gaming for $20. All the machines are set to free play after you pay the fee. There is a bar serving basic snacks such as chips, pizza and on tap local sodas. The liquor license was just recently obtained and the staff seems to think this will get rolling out within the next few months. I'm not a gamer, yet I can tell you lots of games exist vs. just pinball like the exterior. Inside Starcade, you will find both a main level and upstairs (where the former brewery was). It's dark, there are fun twinkle lights and LED signs. Starcade used to be located within Rosedale Mall so come give a warm welcome to them as they lay roots in Saint Paul! I look forward to returning and trying some games. It has a Can Can Wonderland feel but less complex. I'm very glad the building is getting used as it's a beautiful venue. Enjoy!

The kids loved the variety of arcade games. super value! Parking was easy. Very good service.read more

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 had a group of ten, all ages, which was the perfect amount of people to play with. The course is two levels, with countless nooks and crannies to hide and walk quickly (no running) through. It lasts ten minutes and we went on a week night so we were able to play several times with a minimal wait time.

Rare is it that I leave reviews but this place is a hidden gem worth finding…read more Tucked away in a little strip mall, this place might look unassuming from the outside, but step in and you'll find a whole world of fun waiting for you. Between the classic pinball machines, well-kept pool tables, and the laid-back vibe, it's the perfect spot for a date night. The owner is genuinely one of the kindest people you'll meet and is clearly passionate about every machine and every detail of the experience. You can tell he really cares about keeping the place running smoothly and making sure everyone has a good experience. It's rare to find a spot that's this chill, authentic, and just plain fun. Whether you're into billiards, pinball, or just hanging out somewhere low-key with good energy, this place absolutely delivers. Best part of the night is the adorable shop puppy "Snowflake" who will challenge you to a game of tug-of-war. Would most definitely go again, but will make sure to bring cash next time as it is a (reasonably priced) cash only spot.

It's a good spot to go on a double date, celebrate an occasion, take the kids out, etc. We loved the golf course! That was definitely the highlight. The games were just eh to me, I could've gone without. Some were iconic and fun, but overall felt a bit pricy to play old games. I'd stop back again for the mini golf!

Our server was super on top of things, even with a large party and changing table locations throughout the night! Typical draft beer, single mixer cocktails, etc. I shouldn't expect a Minnesota bar to be able to make a Wisconsin Old Fashioned, but they absolutely missed the mark on that one when I ordered one. Stick to the normal drinks, and you'll be just fine!!

1-star directly because of the ridiculous "no water bottles" policy…read more * Water comes from moldy soda machine spout * Only gave us a single water pitcher for family of 15 people bowling across 3 lanes * Water was empty in first 5 minutes. Waitress never came back to refill water during entire 1 hour bowling session. 99% of other establishments (including bowling alleys) allow people to bring in their own water! My best guess is alcohol drinkers ruined this for people looking to simply bring their own water in. They probably hide liquor in water bottles and thus Shakopee Bowl makes a knee jerk decision which negatively impacts non-alcohol drinking customers. I won't come back in until this policy is reverted or fixed.

Price was fair: $30 for 180 credits (most games were between 4 and 10 credits). I loved that they had a gargantuan PAC Man game... what a throwback BUT, the place needed to be deeply cleaned, ac was not on (or at least it felt like that), employees were very unapproachable, & three games did not work (even though credits were taken). Won't be returning.

You really have to know your coupons and your Groupon's to be able to walk out of here feeling like…read moreyou got a fair deal. It was a late Sunday afternoon and I was looking to take two teens and a five-year-old bowling. $7.50 per person - per game - plus mandatory shoe rental at six dollars per person to include the five-year-old. It all adds up. The bitter berry on my cake is the fact that I paid $35 for an appetizer sampler that would've cost half elsewhere - was COLD when it came out along with the nachos. Mind you the place might have been a little understaffed but they were trying. Two games of bowling, shoes, nachos, app sampler, pop drinks, plus a tip was over $200 as a walk in on a Sunday... is that what it costs now!!!? It was okay, I'd try again but I'd be super mindful on what time I'm coming in and ask upfront what total costs will be. Maybe eat a meal elsewhere. Besides that it seemed okay for what it was. Trendy decor and tons of screens for young and old humans to be entertained by.

Bowlero Lakeville Rocks for Birthday Parties!…read more We just had the BEST 10th birthday party for our son Jaycen at Bowlero Lakeville this past Saturday! They reserved 3 bowling lanes for our group of 17 kids and a few adults, which was perfect. Food & Drinks: We opted for their party package and it was fantastic. The chicken tenders, fries, pizza, hot dogs, chips & salsa, and chocolate chip cookie cake were a huge hit with the kids (and adults!). There was also unlimited soda (Pepsi products) which kept everyone happy and hydrated. Amazing Staff: A huge shoutout to Felicia, the General Manager, and Jenna, the Event Manager. They were both phenomenal! Felicia was on top of everything, making sure our party ran smoothly. We were so impressed to see her helping Jenna clean up after the party - that kind of leadership doesn't go unnoticed! She was incredibly friendly and truly made Jaycen's birthday special. Both Felicia and Jenna checked in with us constantly to make sure we had everything we needed - they were on point! Fun for Everyone: The kids even got arcade game cards loaded with funds to play with, and Felicia and Jenna encouraged them to enjoy both bowling and the arcade games. They were incredibly patient with all the excited boys running around. Taking it Home: After the party, Jenna helped us gather all the leftover food and provided boxes so we could take it home (seriously, enough food for days!). Overall Experience: This was an absolute slam dunk of a birthday party! Felicia's management and Jenna's event coordination made it such a success. Felicia absolutely deserves recognition for her fantastic leadership, and Jenna for her excellent service. They were both amazing and so easy to work with. Thank you, Bowlero Lakeville! P.S. This Bowlero location seems to have really improved since our last visit. We will definitely be back and will encourage friends to host their birthday parties and even events here!!
