An awesome environment, full of games, great food, and memorable experiences. The management team is very professional. All of the workers make it a really cool place to hang out. It's very kid friendly and there's a great bar with really nice servers. It's the kind of place you want to keep coming back to.

Took my sons and nephews to Main Event on Spring Break. Decent price on Laser Tag $8.50 per person. Not sure why they charge $2 for activation fee on arcade game cards. Could use help in Winners Choice to keep things flowing. Saw employees cleaning up,wiping down tables and checking/maintenance games. Would have liked to seen covid procedures for games such as wiping down occasionally. Overall, had a nice Afternoon and was able to get in and out.

Drinks were good. Games were good. When understanding the credit system a lot of the games are like 7.5 credits to play. You get a game card from a machine unless you order a meal that includes a game card with it. Some of those deals are crazy good. Like a $33 entree but u get a $30 game card making the food $3. That is a good deal. My girl wanted to stop here on our 3.5 hour trip home from ocmd for her birthday. It was a good decision.

Questions & Answers

Why would you make it 21+ after 9pm? There’s not much to do in DE for 18-20 year olds after a certain time

janissa Moret | Jan 11, 2019
Sharon Smith | Jan 12, 2019

After a great time with my kids it would be nice to just be an adult and not have to deal with the drama of people's disrespectful children or chasing your own it's a place of business but every club in DE has been shut down with the 18 to enter 2q to drink maybe they should designate an adult night but children don't need all the 1am fun that's ridiculous

Cynthia Gibbs | Jan 11, 2019
makena malburg | Jan 12, 2019

It's going to depend on what you want to do. There is no "entrance fee" but obviously to bowl you'll have to pay for a lane and shoes, for the games you'll have to buy a card. There are wristbands you can get to do activities (laser tag, bowling, high ropes, etc.) and than you could purchase a game card

How much for 2 kids and 2 adults

Juan Medina | Jan 11, 2020
Colin Eyeball | Jan 12, 2020

Juan, if you bowl for ONE hour, it will cost 2 adults and 2 kids approximately $42 bucks. ($50 on weekends). Video games are a bit different...I suggest Monday Madness $10.95 per person ($44 for 4 people) all you can play. 😁👍 Laser tag, rope climbing, and other stuff is a bit more but they have specials to help lower costs. Check the website out https://www.mainevent.com/location/delaware/newark/19702?utm_source=googlemb&utm_medium=organic&utm_campaign=newark&utm_term=website The website is not easy to navigate but you can work your way through. Hope this helps, Mr. Eyeball

How much is it to get in and do everything but the video games on a Saturday?

Shyanne Murray | Jan 11, 2019
Kevin May | Jan 12, 2019

I have to pitch in. The previous answers are wrong. It is not 18.85$ on Saturday. Saturday is more expensive for the unlimited pass. You still get bowling, pool, laser tag, and the gravity ropes. But it's 24, 25 $ or something.

Also, after waiting in line 1 hour, they finally opened a third register. Meanwhile a ton of employees just standing around. It was finally my turn & we stood at the register and that was it... the manager shut the register down without saying..

Connie C | Jan 11, 2019
Connie C | Jan 12, 2019

A word. After about 2 minutes I asked one of the three girls gossiping & not working that worked there if they were going to wait on me and they said the register was closed... so people behind me were being waited on after I was in line an hour? So I had to jump back in line in front of someone who was waiting at least an hour. I got there at 3. Ate food until the 4 pm promo. Got in line at 4. Finally got waited on a little after 5. This was yesterday, a Monday. When I left at 10 pm, the line was still to the door. Very busy. However no excuse when there are plenty of staff members. Literally standing in groups just talking right behind the counter. At least 9 employees. Doesn’t take 9 people to grab bowling shoes... 3 registers. 2 open. Manager should learn to manage. Not good under pressure.

How long is the normal wait time

Call me Tendy | Jan 11, 2019
Kevin May | Jan 12, 2019

No wait to get in unless it is late Friday or Saturday. You can get on the wait list for whatever activity your trying to do. Like bowling. And be preoccupied with something else. Nights it's like 30 minutes. And busy times it's an hour.
