Great facility. Good to know we can still feel safe & comfortable during Covid in having our children come here for volleyball.

This place was nice to visit, but I find it on the pricey side for a toddler. The exact same games you play at chuck E Cheese for a quarter are $1-$1.75 which is a bit ridiculous. They have mini bowling for $3 for 5 rounds, a jumping/ bounce house area and a bunch of other bigger kid games (laser tag, go karts etc). They also have a food court with lots of seating. Overall a nice place, just a little pricey for the younger ones.

For our first time visiting i have to say its overall great place! When I arrived I didnt know what to expect but there was this very nice manager who helped me out and answered all my questions and went over everything with me. Everyone is so nice nothing bad to say about the people who work there.. Bit of everything and for all ages! My 2year old loved the mini bowling and bouncing area. Its great place come and spend with kids and they have an area with tables and chairs and tvs which is just beside of the arcade. The prices are good and they have all kinds of packages for you to choose from. Pretty much you choose what you plan to spend. Overall very happy with the place and will def. Be back!!

Back in 2018 I gave 5 stars but now the place is Ridiculous. Half of the games didnt work, only one mini bowl lane was working, the sure ball game jacked... The kiddie carousel acted as if it was going to throw the kids it skipped, stalled and jumped. The place this time around was horrible and some staff agreed. They need to shut down and retry. It was Amazing and LOTS of fund back in March of 2018. This time my sister booked her kid party there and it was horrible, I would have asked for half my money back. The host was good though..

They have a bunch of high school kids working in this location, horrible hospitality! I booked a birthday party and the host kept coming to me telling me you have 10 min left you have 5 min left ..I felt rushed the entire time. Some of the games didnt work, you cant swipe the game card more than once for the same game. The workers were not approachable, had attitudes and not welcoming! Overall the place is great to take the kids they just need better exciting workers

I normally go to the University branch. This is smaller and more run down. It needs a facelift. But you will find everything you need even for seasoned lifters. From squat racks down to kettles.

Family Fun! Bouncy houses arcades and kiddie sports. My child has so much fun here. They offer soccer lessons and other events. Whats cool as its next to the gym for adults fitness connection. We love it and need to make it there more often!

With all they have going on I think it is worth it for the price and this is the second location I have been to. It is bigger and has some things that the other one does not but is missing other things that the other one offers. Most of the activities are $9 - $10 and most of the arcade games range anywhere from $0.50 to $5 per player. You get swipe cards and can put as much as you want on it or select different packages, plus it save any tickets won on the card so youre not walking around with a bunch of tickets. For my family, I have five children one teenage girl who normally doesnt care to do as much of the activities so this time I only spent $70 for $80 worth and we were well worn out but this time we also did larger activities like laser tag and the high-wire walk last time we only played arcade games and spent $85 for $100 worth. They also offer team-sports here, they have a rock climbing wall and larger spaces for birthday parties.

When youre going to a place to have fun you dont want to be there to tell their maintenance people to fix their machines and the prize room is not stocked well apparently the owner is not doing his job nor the managers because I go to other places and theres plenty of cards in the Wizard of Oz machine and the majority of the machines work at other major arcades you will be disappointed

Great place to go for a kids bday party and to have fun with kids for a couple hours. Be aware this place can get wicked busy on the weekends. The prices are pretty fair. The indoor ropes course is actually pretty good. The one thats highest has a couple challenges even for adults but dont expect anything complicated if youre anything other than a novice. The bumper cars, laser tag, kids bowling, bounce houses & arcades offer enough variety to entertain the kids for a few hours. The area for parties upstairs is nice as well and can hold pretty large parties. It always appears clean and well staffed to maintain order with all the kids around.

Their birthday parties are not well organized. They are very rushed and the employees never smiled. Their communication was poor and guests felt unwelcomed. Game cards are handed out with no money loaded on them taking away play time. (This was not the first party Ive been to that this happened). Would NEVER recommend them for your childs party!

We went today for the first time ever and had a great time! Since I was oblivious as to pricing and what was included, Cassie schooled me. She went above and beyond and Im so thankful for her help! The rest of the staff I encountered were very patient and helpful as well. This was probably the best first impression at a family place Ive ever had! We will definitely be returning. Prices were reasonable and they have plenty to keep your family entertained!

Review №35

My 2 year old son loves this place! He could spend hours running around inside the bouncy houses! Keeping up with him is a workout! He also loves the mini bowling! Then there are all the games to keep him occupied for hours! Great!The only thing I dont like is that when you order food it takes an hour or longer before it is served. This branch of sports connection has to order pizza from an outside pizza place. This pizza joint must be in the next county which would explain the lengthy wait. Even the chicken fingers we ordered took forever and they were not edible. Huge chunks of soggy clumpy bread crumbs over tiny pieces of chicken.So if youre gonna spend a few hrs here with your kids make sure you pack a snack for them or order the pizza as soon as you arrive.

This place has everything. I truly did not want to leave. We did laser tag which was sooooooo much fun. 2 teams 3 rounds of unbelievable fun. My kids had a blast with laser tag. We were so sweaty afterwards. Then bumper cars. Although the area is small you can still have a great time. Thats. What we did. Then the ARCADE!!!! Awesome!!!! So many games for all ages and not expensive game prices at all. This place rocks!!!!! I will definitely be back within the near future.

Review №61

Not the best location for games and laser tag. Food can be pricey and junkie. Service is good for the most part depending on what day it is and staff on the floor. Do not recommend taking your small kids to the laser tag when there are other bigger kids around. Prone to injuries. Keep it age appropriate.

Review №66

This place is really not worth the money. The arcade is super high, and the mini bowling has been out of order the last 3 times we have went. We basically only go because of jump n play but probably change to monkey joes. On the other side most of the staff were very friendly. I attended a birthday party and it was super rushed and no fun at all. They call it structured but its a rush you out the door method to me.

This building is divided into two halves one for adults that want to workout due to the various types of excersize equipment on site.The other half is for kids. The kids section has volleyball courts, video games and other amenities. Each half is ran by two different companies. It is close to the highway and not far from the interstate access. Overall it is an awesome location for the entire family.

Review №74

I attended a birthday party here. The parent of the girls we attended the party paid for all of the children that were there. They gave them wrist bands in order to go into the bounce house. Once the party was over the girl took all of the children’s wristbands. We were told once the party was over that our children could go back and play some more. When we went back down we were told we had to buy another wristband. This makes no sense because now you’re charging double for what was already paid for in the beginning. Some of the staff (not all) were rude and unprofessional. Most of them were children themselves and acted as if they didn’t want to be there. Management needs to fix this ASAP. Customer service should ALWAYS be a priority.

Poor Sports Camp! In my opinion it was a waste of camp money. When I first arrived, kids were directed poorly with no direction. Even as the kids played games they were poorly instructed with little to know direction. My son felt he was being talked down to when he did not know where to go or was not given instructions on how to play the games. Poorly trained youth wanting a paycheck for baby sitting. Was never truly taught or instructed on how to play certain sports such as basketball. This was very dissappointing, staff seemed unfocused and not engaging the kids and making them feel like they belonged. Everyone wants a paycheck but they dont want to truly work nowadays.
