Main Event is a great multiple activity spot for both the adults and kids. Bowling is always fun for the family and definitely recommend a reservation on the weekends as the place can get full quickly on busy nights. Arcade games and ticket games are always fun and there a jumbo size versions of some of the classic carnival games (jumbo crane game with huge stuffed animals).

Went before 2pm and left around 3. Was there recently for the first time with my 6year old. Pricey but nice- he loved it. My one complaint is the App. It wouldn't load once I installed. Needs work. Staff was very kind. Burger I ordered was good. Clean for the most part. Lots to do while there including zipline.. I'd go again.

This place is so cool - it's like Dave & Busters meets Pinstripes! Well organized, good prices. Coming back in a month for a birthday party.

No one would answer the phone so we could ask if they had all the activities available. Drove 30 min. Turns out Zipline and lazer tag were closed (why we came.) VR games are blurry/need repair. Some of the machines weren't working/took our credits. The ice cream machine wasn't working. Music was way too loud. Bowling scores glitched multiple times, not logging the score. Needs new management or something. Hopefully better next time.

Yes, it's per person and it's well worth it. If you do each activity once, it pays for itself.
Best to book ahead. Was part of a birthday reservation, so we were granted immediate access. Kind of the norm in Illinois to limit entry under restrictions from state government
Yes I believe you can my friend.
The zip line is part of the ropes course. Laser tag is separate so you would be paying for two separate activities
You can buy a wristband that gives you bowling. Gravity ropes. Laser tag, Pool and shuffleboard for $19. Bowling shoes are extra. Band is good from open to 5pm or 5pm to close. Games are extra. They have lots of video games & air hockey where you pay per game. Games are from $1.50 to $1.80 per game. The air hockey and car/motorcycle games are fairly priced. The others seem expensive to me because they don't give you a lot of play. Pac man you only get 1 life instead of 3 lives. The wrist band is a good deal.
I don't know why people are saying no billiards, they absolutely do have tables (6 of them as soon as you walk in.) and I have played on them. They also have bowling, laser tag, ropes, and arcade games.
You can have fun but it is slightly big so keep an eye on where they are also bright lights so if your kid is sensitive I wouldn't suggest going.
Walk ins on the weekend
It's $7.95 or $8.95.....if u go on Mon after 4pm....u can most activities for around $11 unlimited......
You buy a card I think there are $25, $50 on up n you can reload the card if you want more. We bowled too m that was extra. A good time.

Past midnight
Wouldn't recommend for 5yrs old and under, otherwise awesome place for kids and adults
Yes, but you have to add your name to the laser tag list because it goes by time blocks and groups. If more than one person is not on the list for that time block you have to add your name again until someone else adds their name.
No
Im not sure only went once but it looks like it coude be a possibility
Of course you can just go without a reservation. If you are throwing an event with two hundred people you might want to call ahead so they can add additional staff.
Mondays are the days to go! 10 dollars all included pp,zip lining,laser tag,bowling(shoes separate fee),billards. All day from 4pm till close.
