Just had my sons 5th birthday party here today and it was an amazing experience. Richard and his staff were very hospitable and kind to our party. Exceeded my expectations and I would have another party here in a heartbeat. The adults had as much fun as the kids!

My family and I went a couple of weeks ago and it was a great experience. The facility is very clean and takes every precaution to keep its guests safe. They sanitize the goggles, guns, and jerseys after every use. There are also multiple sanitizing stations throughout the facility. We called ahead to schedule a time slot and when we arrived we had a whole room to ourselves which was pretty cool. My youngest son wasnt old enough to play with his brother and cousins so the owner brought out the big Jenga blocks to keep him entertained. The owner is very friendly and made us feel very welcomed. Definitely would go back!

This place is a hidden gem. The great thing with Nerf guns is that even young kids can use them safely. We recently hosted a birthday party here and it was a great experience. Their support staff is amazing. They are always there and still non-intrusive. The owner was around and suggested that we go inside and click pictures. For this he brought a set of glasses for us to wear. The arcade area is reasonable but they give you enough coins to play for a long time. They take care of almost everything. Wonderful experience, thanks folks.

Great for the kid who loves nerf guns! Weve been to 2 birthday parties here & it runs smoothly. It gets pretty warm in the activity rooms (lots of running around). The party rooms were good sized, plenty of seating & they run shows that had all the kids attention. Staff was great! Theyve got a small arcade area too.

100% recommend this place!Went for my nephews birthday party. My 5 yr old was technically old enough but got scared of all the people once we got inside. The staff was so sweet to give us a refund for her and she sat out with Grandma, having a blast watching us. Staff was kind, location was clean, directions were clear, games were fun. This was definitely a return again experience!

Just a fun place to go and shoot NERF guns at everyone. There are a few adults and older kids (like me) in each session. I will say that some kids dont recognize getting hit, which is a pain for someone competitive (also like me), but they are kids. If you push, it can be a pretty good workout.The staff is friendly and helpful.

Had a GREAT experience @DartemUp today for my sons 11th birthday celebration with four of his closest friends. I was apprehensive of a group gathering in such a hands-on place but my mind was quickly set at ease when we walked in the doors. The owner and staff of this facility have gone far above and beyond to re-open while maintaining remarkable sanitation standards. We saw employees cleaning, wiping, and sanitizing...everything. There are sanitation stations for patrons to use as well - which I love because we are ALL in this together - you can wipe something you touch too! After speaking with the owner in passing, I learned many protocols have been recently instated to ensure the safety of patrons and staff. I commend fellow business owners who have taken this challenge and raised the bar to adjust their operating models under the current State guidelines, which is neither easy nor cheap. I highly recommend supporting such a great, locally owned, business.

Review №28

Clean, well designed, fun atmosphere. Wasnt busy, never had to wait but there were enough people in the arena to have a fun, competitive game. Fun set up and games, kids and parents had a blast. Multiple games to keep things entertaining with upbeat music. Well thought out and well run. Owner comes out and talks with people in the lobby, very friendly and gracious. Great place to get out of heat, get some physical activity, and have your kids get a break from screentime. Indoors, so good escape from hot, rainy, or cold days. Great place to bring friends or fun family time. Windows with counters and stools outside arena so parent could get some work done while keeping an eye on kids inside keeping entertained. A little pricey for my cheap self to be able to get our family of 5 in at regular price often but they put your money to work with the maintenance and helpful, friendly staff.

We had our sons 10th Birthday party at Dart Em up. We the price, we were very satisfied. As a mom, the one thing I dread about having (four) kids parties to organize is all the prep and set up. At Dart Em Up, they do it all for you! I did not have to lift a finger, serve a slice of pizza, or hang one decoration!! My kids loved it, our relatives - young and old - all enjoyed themselves, and I count it as a win!!

My 7 year old son LOVES this place. We heard about this place via word of mouth and they have the coolest setup with an amazing staff. Will keep coming here with him as long as he has a passion for shooting Nerf guns. Time flies whenever we come here. So glad this business was established for some good, healthy, physical entertainment.

Absolutely love this place! My boys love it every time they go. The owner is personable and truly wants everyone to feel welcome and enjoy their time there. They have two arenas for dart wars and a small arcade area. Great place to host a birthday party or just a get together. Adults love it as well as boys and girls. Not just for young boys. You can bring your own gun or rent on of theirs.

Review №33

Kids had fun. However, there was confusion when we got there and our host didnt seem to know he had our party. It took them about 15 minutes after our scheduled start time to get our room set up. We also purchased the $375 party and the way, it says 2 hrs of dart fun + 2 hrs in a party room made it seem like the kids had about 4 hrs to do everything when in reality it was only the 2 hrs. So with the late set up, having to pick out guns and get debriefed about the rules, pausing for pizza, then going back for 20,minutes and then having the last little bit of time for cake, the kids probably only had about a good hour to hour and fifteen minutes in the room actually playing with the nerf guns. We also purchased the package where all the kids could get level 5 guns if they want, but the kids didnt seem to know that until about half way through and some parents had already paid for the extra level. It was alright. Would probably just throw a nerf gun party at our house and buy each kid their own gun for what we paid for everything.

My kids love this place! Not too expensive for an hour or two of air conditioned fun, and nice cushy couches for parents to sit and wait with wifi if you dont feel like playing yourself, though it can be a lot of fun to participate yourself! Refs are great, guns are cleaned with antibacterial wipes between each use, owner is friendly and a great leader to his staff.

Kids all went crazy around us, and adults got into it too.We will definitely be back!

Its amazing experience and i am definitely going to recommend this place to family and friends. Also booking future parties here for my other kiddos.

Fun times for the whole family!!Great weekend fun for the family - young and old. Easy to sign in, select your nerf choice, complete the safety meeting, then unleash the fury in an all out mad dash for teams to capture the flag, medic tag, and more.Thursday night is *Zombi night special!*reccomend bringing lots of water.

Review №48

Kids had a great time. Staff was super friendly and helpful. Good selection of nerf guns. All ages from sixe to adult play together. Our super-social, confident six year old had the time of his life. Our more cautious nine-year -old felt a little overwhelmed by all the noise and chaos - so this is a know your kid situation. My only suggestion is that the staff might want to make sure everyone knows how to use their guns before entering the arena so the kids dont spend time during the battle figuring it out. Will definitely do this again.

Review №52

I go here all the time with my little brother, and its the #1 for NERF battles. (Most of) The refs are really cool, and the briefing room attendants are so nice, they usually let people choose whatever gun they want once the people have joined the game. My only advice is: Dont taunt. It tends to get you shot. Ive met the owner alot, and hes SUPER awesome. This place deserves 10 stars. All the employees are really patient with you, and even help out in the games! The music (sometimes) really sets the mood for the battles. My favorite mid-battle song is Lose Yourself by Eminem.

Review №69

I went with my 15 yr old and 11 yr old and they had a blast. We brought our own guns but after their advice and some experience we quickly changed over to the guns they rent out. They made it easy for us too. We were scouting out this place for a possible birthday party, which we booked for next month. Overall, really good experience, I liked the different game modes Team Elimination, Freeze tag, Capture the flag and zombies, (there are more.) Its a great workout because you are running around constantly. Dont think you are going in without sweating, because you come out dripping. Refs were cool. Only thing I didnt like was that the darts take a beating and so you are looking around for ones you know will shoot out of your gun. They are trying to negotiate with Nerf for a regular supply of darts, hopefully that will come to pass.

The kids and even adults had a lot of fun. Sometimes they have family and date nite specials during the week, which is a great way to try it out. You can bring your own Nerf guns, or rent a variety of guns that increase in price depending on dart capacity. Leave your darts at home, because once you are in a room they have it packed and youll never get yours back anyway. They have both regular and mega darts. Once in a room youll play a variety of games like capture the flag, save the prisoners, protect the medic, and a few others. Lots of fun for all.

Review №74

One more choice for kids to have fun and get some indoor physical play time.The free options of toy guns are a bit difficult for kids to handle and win games with. Most kids will pay and upgrade to higher level Mega or Nerf guns. But overall, its a fun and safe space to play.

This place is amazing if youre kid is into nerf guns. They play short games and change it up with didferent which keeps it fun. It kind of reminds me of a skating rink as a kid with the DJ talking and playing music...its a fun place

Review №80

Pros: Fun birthday party place, kids had a blast and it wasnt too overpriced.Cons: The guns jam up a lot because they use off-brand darts. Guns with a rotating cylinder are the worst, choose or bring a gun that the bullets cant bind up in. Also, they use some made up lingo like party team facilitator captain for their roles, which makes asking for something difficult. I asked a group of four employees a question and they didnt want to help me because I was supposed to ask someone else.

We booked for my sons birthday party this weekend. When they called to confirm our reservation I asked several questions including when we could set up, how many tables there would be, etc. We showed up and was not allowed to decorate at the time we were told and had to stand around with all his stuff for an hour. We got to the room and it was quite small and has 2 tables not three. Later our party was interrupted TWICE. Once because the manager was showing the room and told the lady this was the smallest room available and second to rush our party helper which was extremely rude! There was no discount for giving us the smallest room or rudely interrupting and they didnt really care what was told on the phone and our dissatisfaction so apparently you can have the smallest or normal/ largest room for the same price.I was also a little disappointed it wasnt a private nerf party. There were tons of kids and even adults playing with us and one of our kids got hit in the mouth by an adult. I get things happen but would have appreciated for $300 that they get to play with each other and not 50+ people.The ONLY good thing I have to say is that our party helper, Ryan, was absolutely fantastic. He was attentive and kind and definitely recommend requesting him if they allow that.We certainly wont be booking any other parties here and the other adults at our party wont be either. Hell, you can take 12 kids for $110 on their weekend special and have cake and presents later in the main area or somewhere else. Get there early if you want a table though, there isnt a ton offered. Also, the 10 guests include your child with the party pack.

Had so much fun I broke my toe. Theyve got a great arena and a ridiculous number of nerf darts. You can bring your own Nerf guns, as long as they are under 3 feet in length. Bring socks, they have you take your shoes off. Glow in the dark nerf is pretty fun, but it lets the little kids cheat more

Pretty awesome experience for my family. My son is really into nerf guns and enjoyed the event. The refs did a great job however really interesting to see how many children openly fail to follow the rules! This changes the game and creates an unfriendly atmosphere.

Adult night is awesome !! Playing the different game types and being able to swap out blasters was what made this amazing. The staff was friendly, helpful , and engaging. They let us change games as we wanted throw variants in as we wanted. Being able to bring in our our adult beveragesade this a great experience as everyone was trading what they brought in their cooler with others it made for a very friendly exchange. After having some cold drinks we we in and ran around and shot each other with Nerf darts. The selection of Nerf guns was awesome all of the staff knew the guns. The teir system is clear and easy to understand. Overall I hope to visit again for another adult night that happens once a month.

Been to Dartem Up 4 times now, including having a bday party there for my 9 yr old son. Every time has been fun-filled for the kids. The staff is upbeat and super attentive, they really made my son feel special on his birthday. The private room + party room ran smoothly and their party captain Ryan was great. And the parents got in on the action too. I think its impossible to not have fun there! Thanks Richard and staff!
