We had an amazing time at Main Event! From the moment we walked in, everything was well organized, clean, and full of positive energy. The games, bowling, and overall atmosphere made it a perfect place to relax and have fun with family and friends.
A special thank you to Manager Don, who truly made our experience outstanding. He was professional, welcoming, and went above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly. It’s rare to see such hands-on leadership and genuine customer care. Don made us feel valued and taken care of throughout our visit.
Highly recommend Main Event for anyone looking for great entertainment and excellent service. We will definitely be coming back! ✨
… morethePiXbooth – unique photo booth
We recently provided our photo booth services for an event at Main Event, and the experience was outstanding from start to finish. The location is perfect for hosting events of any size, with plenty of space, great layout, and a fun atmosphere that keeps guests engaged.
The staff was amazing—friendly, organized, and extremely accommodating. They made setup and coordination effortless, which allowed us to focus on delivering the best possible experience for the guests. Every team member we interacted with was professional and genuinely helpful.
Main Event is truly a fantastic venue for corporate gatherings, parties, and celebrations. Highly recommended.

Picture shows loaded fries for 11.99. It was a joke…. shirly temple did not have gummy bears, no lime for corona. If you want to eat something good I would try different place. Games and other attractions are great but you can robably get better food at mcd 🙁

had my sons party here was pretty good, except wished for more tables for adults. pizza wasn’t to bad but wasn’t the best. make sure to get the goodie bags they are $3.50 but come with $10 worth of playing time and the stuff inside are actually great for kids.

Had a blast here, pizza & food was really good, our waitress was a real sweetheart. Very clean place. Lots to do! I like the fact you have more games to win prizes. I lost one of my prixes though 🙁 oh well another reason to come back & replay to get it again.
Pool tables are really nice, but a bit pricey for non-return tables. Other places with return tables charge less. But anyway I will still play it, because it is nice there. Except one little girl, she was wearing all black & kept giving dirty looks while adjusting the chairs constantly, I had to tell her to becareful or I could hit her with my pool stick. She was quite annoying. Maybe put her in the back somewhere. Anyway other than that, can’t wait to come back!

I love the laser tag and arcade games. My son has a blast but the food was taking over an hour to be made. We were told by 2 different parents to avoid ordering food. They waiting 1.5 hours for chicken tenders. Im sure everyone working there was doing their best but they did not seem prepared for a holiday crowd on a monday

Went on a Sunday before a holiday and they were just ill prepared. There were a lot of parties going but they didn’t have adequate staff for the kitchen and dine in area. Service was fairly quick at the front desk but had to ask someone at the desk to call another person so we could be seated in the dining area. The food was just ok. I wasn’t impressed. It wasn’t nasty either of I ever I go back i would order something off the menu. Dillion was great, very nice, and accommodating seeing he was the only one serving the tables. Check in process for laser tag was delayed due to there only being 1 person at the desk trying to cash kids out with their gifts and check people in for laser tag. Again not prepared for the holiday weekend. Overall the kids seem to enjoy

Here, I really like the arcade games, and the fact that here, you actually have an option to play as much games as you want, though you don’t earn any points to redeem for prizes. The food is pretty good here, and I really like the fact that they have a bunch of activities, like shuffleboard, bowling, laser tag, and even a skywalk area! Still, it’s a pretty good place to go to, even if you’re not there to do anything, because looking at the whole place is one big sensory experience that you will certainly enjoy!
