Wow, I took my adult daughter and her fiance there and we had a blast. We got the package offering 2 go-kart races, 1 mini golf, and $10 worth of arcade fun. We were there for a little over 2 hours, money well spent! Very fun afternoon!

The staff at this facility is incredibly professional and extremely accommodating to all needs especially for birthday parties and corporate events. The manager Sadie is nothing but respectful and truly shows value for the business as well as the customers.Everyone in the surrounding area should take their business to the Carlisle Sports Emporium because of the variety of games as well as their exceptional service.

Went here this past weekend and got the Fantastic Play pack! Laser tag was SO fun, Go-Karts were fast, and mini-golf was a typical mini-golf course. We also had a $10 play card for the arcade. It was a lot of fun, and I will definitely go back! My boyfriend, and two brothers had a great time, too! ;)

Wanted to book a party for my Son that will b Turning 10. Had roughly about 18-20 kids not including adults. The person on the phone by the name of Sadie which happens to b the manager seems to hv no type of reasoning or try to come up with a better way to gain my business. She politely told me that the place isnt or will not b the place for use to come. All because I asked if they could consider setting up my party which includes ( table clothes, cups, plates & napkins ) I asked if I could speak to someone over her and she again politely told me there was no one over her but the owner and when I ask to speak with him she politely said no. I feel like my needs or concerns wasnt even considered like my thousands of dollars that I would have spent they didnt need. For $48.00 additional to a already 328.00 party of 8 and a private room for $50.00 in hour at least they could do is Accommodate table clothes.

Went there for go karts and a couple of arcade games. Coming from Lancaster, it was well worth the drive. Reasonably priced for 5 races with 3 laps. Karts were well maintained and very fast, and responded well to gas/brake pedal. We went there last year so I don’t know if they changed any policies or anything but when we went there it was basically deserted, so we got a race between the three of us, which was an added bonus. The arcade games are fairly expensive though, so those aren’t that well of a value. Didn’t eat there, so no comment on food. Like I said before, I don’t know if anything changed now, but it’s a nice facility and I would love to visit this place again.

We had a great time playing mini golf outside at the Sports Emporium but they are doing a terrible job dealing with covid appropriately. Know body is being held accountable to social distance or keep masks on and staff did a terrible job of setting the example.The golfing was fun but they need to keep the holes clean of leaves. It was really dirty. If your playing both courses, remember not to play the 18th hole as you will not get your ball back for the 2nd course.

The kids enjoyed all of it - the laser tag, go karts, mini golf, and arcade. Arcade prizes were lackluster, but I find most arcade games prizes are boring these days anyway. Didnt eat at the cafe. We had an issue with our cards and the manager was very nice and accommodating!

This is for the mini golf courses. there are two courses, but both are very similar so it doesnt matter which one you play. only a few holes are even interesting, the rest are unremarkable.most holes dont have those rubber mats for the balls so you be using holes wore in from previous frustrated people. the courses are mildly taken care of and thats it.the biggest offense these courses both do is they are not 18 holes, theyre 17 hole course with the 18th hole being the bonus hole instead of the 19th hole like they should be. Also if you pay to play both courses you dont want to play the 18th hole of whatever course you start with because you wont get you ball back.$10 for one course and $14 for both and this is still to expensive for this easy, boring courses.save yourself some time and money and skip these.

Family friendly fun zone with plenty to do! There are 2 brand new mini golf courses that are awesome. An indoor and outdoor go kart track. If your kid is above 45 tall they have rookie go karts as well! Tons of video games, ski ball, all the arcade games you expect. There is a roller skating rink upstairs too. They just built an event venue also inside the renovated barn next to the main building. We spent hours there and still didnt do everything there!

Pretty disappointed that they don’t enforce wearing a mask. It’s one thing if you are sitting at a table and able to social distance. But I saw plenty of people walking around with no mask. The staff didn’t seem to care.

At first look I thought that I made a wrong turn and ended up at Adventure Sports in Hershey. Until I looked around and realized this is an upgraded version of it. Three go kart tracks, but one wasnt running that day. Two very well kept mini golf courses. A decent arcade and bunch of other stuff I didnt get a chance to check out. Need to visit again

I really do love the sports emporium, but on our recent visit, there was no hand sanitizer visible. Social distance wasnt adhered to and there were signs saying masks were optional, which is contrary to the current mandate. Wont be back until covid is over.

Their so called manager Brandy Smith (alleged name) was very disrespectful and didnt show any compassion for her job.She continued to raise her voice and make a scene she yelled at a female who needed help,she then denied yelling at her when there were several witnesses.She possibly lied about her last name giving multiple answers when asked her last name she identified herself as Brandy Smith, and Brandy specs.Dealing with multiple personnel and touching multiple items in the occupied structure she works at she continuosly pulled her mask down to speak and attempted to touch the female to remove her from the property.I then intervened to speak to the supposed manager I explained to her that in any sense any place you work at your service to the customer is always number one priority and you should handle that with Grace and a subtle voice and approach things in a professional manner, she then refused my proposal that the customer is always right. She said she fealt threatened so I respectfully backed up from her but continued to speak to her the tone she spoke to me and the officers involved in the situation was completely different to the original customer she was speaking to.The other employees were completely satisfactory though I cant complain about them, but their manager was extremely disrespectful she offered a solution but the way she went about it was totally unprofessional.I ask that the owners answer to this problem.

Known as The Place to Play but its actually an understatement. This place is loaded with versatile options for fun activities, more than just arcades games. I still remember a couple years ago when I first visited CSE for a birthday party, that it was quite dated and offered nothing more than arcade games and go carts. Fast forward a few years, theyve now added batting cages, two 18-hole themed mini golf courses, and a new building for hosting private events.  Not sure if they added an additional track but there are 2 outdoor and 1 indoor tracks for the go carts.  Theyve also updated their arcade with state of art games including 2 VR games; not far behind the new Dave & Buster at the Capital City Mall. Their 2-tier laser tag Lasertron is very current and impressive. There is also a large roller skating rink upstairs.Not everything is so dandy, however.  The food is limited to quick bites and nothing to write home about. Parking can be daunting when the place is busy. The arcade area is very crammed as they packed more new games than retiring the old.  And the prices are not cheap - a session of laser tag costs $17 per person. If youre not careful, you can sustain significant damage to your wallet after half day of fun.  But they do offer Groupons and sign-up bonuses from time to time.  So do look for them and plan your visits.They operate longer weekday hours during the summer months. Weekend hours are always 10:00 am to midnight   Here are the hours listed at the door:Oct - Mar:M-R: 10am - 9pm; Fri-Sat: 10am - Midnight; Sun: 12pm - 9pmApr - May, Sept:M-R: 10am - 10pm; Fri-Sat: 10am - Midnight; Sun: 12pm - 10pmJun - Aug:M-R: 10am - 11pm; Fri-Sat: 10am - Midnight; Sun: 11am - 11pm

Fun place to go on date night. It used to be better though. I hadnt been here in a few years. The prices are a tad expensive considering the atmosphere. If you dont mind driving I would recommend similar settings elsewhere. My date and I only spent about 2 hrs here so it was worth it. The skating rink is the best because its never crowded. I only wish the staff were trained better. Yes its mostly teens that dont care about their first job, but the higher ups should remind them that they are in customer service and small children are around.

Super slicks was super fun! I loved just going around and around drifting a go kart they arent super fast but they are quick enough to get you sideways and put a smile on your face. You got to try Everything their though because if you get stuck playing arcade youll find yourself wanting to leave very quick. Just try to stay diverse when going here or it could get redundant. They do have a VR station in the front thats pretty cool. You can play by yourself or play with a party up to 4 people on the same game! I have yet to try it but it looks worth every penny. I definitely recommend going here with kids and the family its a great place!

This place has it all. An arcade, laser tag, mini golf, and go karts. Now, I had never been before and was a little leery of the arcade, but once I got to playing games, it was a blast! I would recommend if you go, get the Super Fun pack and pay the extra $5 for extra arcade credit because the games are so much fun. The staff were very professional, patient, and accommodating for all of our needs and went above and beyond to make sure our visit was positive. I will be frequenting here more in the future and highly recommend anyone looking for fun to come here.

Go karts are fast and fun. Mini golf was okay, but the greens need a good cleaning. Games are as good as Dave and busters, but slightly more expensive. The hologate looks fun, but at $10 a pop we will wait. Lots of fun for the whole family. Employees were helpful, cheery and attentive. Standard snack foods. Cheese bites good. Soft pretzel dry. Sunday is not very busy. I would definitely go again.

So much fun! The mini golf was so nice. One of the best courses we have been to. Go-karts and Lazer tag were great. The only thing I would change is the price of the games. Every game is at least a dollar some are three and some are five. You can spend $20 on games in a few minutes. We can play games at Dave and Busters for at least 30 minutes for $20. So I wouldnt go there for the arcade.

Review №73

What a great place for good wholesome fun. Two mini golf courses, batting cages, arcades, laser tag and go karts? It is possible that I am missing something there was that much to do. Pricing seemed quite reasonable for the time spent at the establishment so a very good cost to entertainment ratio. The arcades seemed to all be in working order and I appreciate that the tickets automatically load on your play card instead of having to deal with the paper tickets. 10/10 would recommend.

We did the laser tag for a birthday event for our daughter. The course was very large and had a very nice layout. Unfortunately, the guns and sensors werent maintained well. Several of the vests and guns didnt have sound and there wasnt any way to know if you had been tagged or were tagging others. The game types didnt very at all, and the special features of the system were disabled.

We right now are having a birthday party for my son and we come here regularly. The party started at 11 and we are doing the arcade and laser tag. Your party does not get the arcade cards until after laser tag which is at 12:20pm for us. The kids had nothing to do for the first 15min because the food was not ready. Once the kids were done eating and had cake it was 1150am. They had nothing to do again for a 1/2 hour. It is their policy due to making sure people are on time for laser tag. Since we diagnosed the problem I have a solution instead of the kids standing around with nothing to do. Do a 10-15min role call prior to Laser Tag. Its that simple. You will be losing future birthday parties for my son and daughters. I’m sorry but there is too much lag time for the kids and time is money.

We took my daughter for her 8th birthday last Sunday. We were a group of three adults and two kids and we all had a blast. Go carts, arcade games, and laser tag--the only thing we didnt have time for was mini golf. The staff was wonderful and always had a smile on their faces. We will definitely visit sports emporium again soon!

This is a great place to go for a party or a date. They have everything from go-carts to rollerskating to arcade games. They even have a two story laser tag section that is a lot of fun.It does get a little expensive, but they have different packages you can choose from to make sure you’re only paying for the things you want to do, so that seems fair.

My kids enjoy coming here for Lasertag. The arcade part is a typical arcade....youre going to spend a ton of money & get dinky dollar store prizes for a bunch of tickets. Overall, the go carts are fun and if you dont mind dropping around $100 for 2 kids to play for about 2 hours. I would highly suggest using Cash to pay for your purchase as our debit card info was HACKED & this was the only place it was swiped that day. Cant prove it unfortunately.
