10/10, from the moment we walked in (Alicia) who worked the entrance and kiosk was AMAZING. She had such a good personality and was so helpful to our family. Our waitress (don’t know her name) blonde hair, young with glasses working on 4/3/25, was also amazing! Attentive and got our orders right with such a large party. Even the girls at the winnings desk was great (amber and another girl, sorry I forgot her name) We been before but this time I had to leave a review! Thank you all for such great service!!! We will be back and recommend our family and friends

I highly recommend this place to anyone that wants to have both kid fun and adult fun! It all started as soon as we walked through the door when a nice woman, Buffy, greeted us and helped us get checked in and to pick the right packages for all of us. She gave us a tour and answered all of our questions. Her recommendations were awesome! We had so much fun with our grandkids today. I was thinking it was going to be a nightmare kind of a day like all the other ‘arcade pizza places’, boy was I wrong! I haven’t had so much fun in years. My grandkids came home begging to go back and see their friend Buffie again tomorrow and couldn’t stop talking about how nice she was! Thank you Buffie and thank you Main Event for giving us all wonderful memories that we will never forget! I also need to mention that everyone of the employees were awesome. They were patient and kind and took great care of the kids. All of our food was awesome and our waitress Dani was the sweetest! Thank you again Main Event!

We recently celebrated my daughter's 7th birthday at Main Event, and it was an incredible experience from start to finish! The highlight of the party was undoubtedly Mari, our attendant, who went above and beyond to make the day truly special. Mari’s warmth and enthusiasm set the tone for the party. She took drink orders from the kids with a smile and engaged with Caroline in such a sweet and personal way, asking thoughtful questions about her birthday theme and making her feel like the star of the day. Her ability to connect with the kids made all the difference. What stood out most was Mari’s flexibility and attentiveness to the group’s needs. When she noticed that waiting until the end for games might not work best for the kids, she adjusted the timeline effortlessly. She allowed the kids to get their game cards while they were eating pizza, and it created a fantastic flow for the party. Everyone had so much fun without feeling rushed or bored. The activities—gravity ropes, laser tag, arcade games—were all a huge hit, and Mari made sure every part of the experience ran smoothly. Her kindness and attention to detail elevated the event and made it a memorable celebration for Caroline and her friends. Thank you, Main Event, and a huge thank you to Mari for going the extra mile. We’ll definitely be back!

Very Enjoyable. There are so many games to choose from. Great for kids and adults. Very nice bar to enjoy some drinks while playing some games. I love the carnival games and the connect 4 basketball is my favorite. I'm very competitive so when I play, I play to win LOL. Also very nice to have the rechargeable game card and points that you can use to buy all sorts of things and sweets at their store.

Great place to take your family for a fun filled day. Many games for the whole family, as long as you like games. If your not a gamer type, take a seat in the bar area for a relaxed fun atmosphere.
