This place is a family favorite! The staff is amazing and so friendly. The place is always clean. And, the prices are affordable. There really is fun to be had by everyone. You wont regret a visit. They have food, laser tag, nerf guns, roller skating, go carts, and there is an arcade.

Had a kids birthday there. Seemed like a decent deal for $120. But $10 in games doesn’t go far when the games are $3+ to play. The food was TERRIBLE. Several guests ordered food and just about every one of them had issues. The hamburgers were dry and tastes like baked pepper. That’s the best I can describe it. I couldn’t finish mine. They offer potato soup which looked like mashed potatoes. With the “soup” they gave some sort of cookie which had what appeared to be mold on it. They’re very expensive for what they are. The staff are lazy and look like they hate their jobs. I was surprised they didn’t give a buzzer to wait for a pickle. I can’t imagine ever going back.

Fantastic for parties. Had a GREAT time with their scheduling, staff, and events. Go Karts are extra, but its reasonably priced and WELL worth the drive. Skating, Nerf Gun arena, and Laser tag were SO much fun. Arcade was a little overpriced on a per-play basis, but still enjoyable. DEFINITELY coming back if for nothing else than the Nerf arena.

Maks was one of our favorite places to go. Recently they took out their mini golf and replaced it with skating. The rink is not good for skating. The floor is a different padded material and makes it hard to skate smoothl . We also did the go karts and were not pleased at all. The steering is so tight its almost impossible to turn at times. My husbands cart would not pick up any speed. I wont be returning any time soon.

Lovely place, very clean, I was impressed with how clean their bathrooms were. We were invited to a birthday party here, there’s a roller skating rink, arcade, party rooms, and a bar for adults you can’t take your kids in there, which is a plus for those wanting to take their older kids. There’s also laser tag, pretty big place, I saw a track for go karts outside but it was too cold for go karting. Attendants were very friendly and attentive. Take your kids here if you’re wanting a place that don’t break the bank. There’s also a little room for babies and toddlers to crawl around.The only complaint I had was that there weren’t enough walkers for the skating rink, I counted 5, so I hope they see this and think about adding more, not everyone that goes there, know how to roller skate.

Maks was amazing I have played put-put there once.Put put was cool because it was jungle themed and air conditioned.I went there for a birthday party last week and had tons of fun.We did Laser tag,Nerf wars,Arcade.Their arcade is small.Their prizes are very picked over.Nerf wars and laser tag are perfect.

Great place to let the little ones burn off some energy. The food there is awesome, taste great and their phillopino food is great. Just wish their arcade was a little more price friendly, I dont want to pay four bucks to play a certain game, but other games were one dollar. Overall great place, definitely going back.

Maks Family Fun center is a great place to take your family. We took our 3 and 7 year old. They had a blast. For 1 hour at the bouncy castle its $3 or a few hours its $5. We went on a Sat at 3 and it was not busy. They quickly bonded with other kids and had a blast. Will take them skating next time and go carting. They sell food and drinks and have seating for parents and kids. Also have Party rooms, Arcade and laser tag

The place didnt have anything exciting to do. The guy in the nerd gun area was really rude to the little kids in there. He told one kid do u want me to shoot you in your eye so you know how it feels. I will never take my child back there as long as they have employees like that there.

Great idea but very expensive for what you get. For example, many video games cost $3 to play. I saw one cost $5! Really?!!! Jumpers are okay- nothing special.We visited on a Saturday night, and it was dead. It could be great with a few changes here and there. Food looked good, and those prices seemed appropriate.

The game room was terrible for the cost, and the 2-5 year old room was very sticky, like it had never been cleaned... But the food was good and we loved roller skating! Also, the jump houses were down even though we called ahead and they said they would be up on Saturday and Sundays.

An awesome place for a go cart race and lazer tag! So much fun. There was other things to do too we just didnt get to them because we took our personal family game of lasertag too seriously. Lol. The track was so awesome, drifting around the corner passing everybody was a thrill. Thank you Maks! We will be back!

Review №28

You all need to have 1 person on staff who is the direction giver. I called looking for your place and was transferred to a young man who ultimately hung up on me. I was frustrated because Im passing landmarks and asking if it is near you and he was clueless. You are near a military base. Assume that anyone calling has just arrived and knows nothing about the area. Ultimately, I found you by asking a gentleman at the business next to you. A larger sign right in front of your business would make it easier for people to find you. (The sign before you is not helpful)

Review №29

Went today it was like a ghost town in there. After looking at the prices we could understand why. No package prices for families..that was disappointing. Staff wasnt very friendly especially the lady at the skate counter. Arcade looks new but one of the games was 3.00 to play and there wasnt a lot of games for little ones. Nothing like we expected..we go to one like this is Louisiana but the prices are so much better with more to do including an indoor playground. We will just save our money for our next visit there. We gave Maks a shot but it failed miserably. Also it was hot hot hot in there....who wants to play games in a hot arcade?! No, thanks.

Review №38

The place is great! Sad to say that my rating is due to the staff:1. I approached the ice cream bar and while there were 3 employees and the manager, NOONE asked what were we interested in. They held their conversation until I interrupted to order.2. My husband and I sat to eat our ice cream while our pre teen and her cousin played. I asked the manager, could she put the baseball game on one of the televisions, to which she responded that she didnt know how to change the channel. Oh, and didnt even bother trying or asking someone. Whatever happend to training? Isnt a manager suppose to know how to run a facility or at least know where to find the answer?3. Trying to still enjoy, we go to go cart area, pay for the first round (2 drivers) and it was perfect, cars were full, 9 rounds (as offered) done, Perfect. They had so much fun we decided to pay another round. Only now it was only them two on the track, approximately six rounds later (if that), they were stopped and the ride was over. Now at 100° I didnt even want to be out there, but I paid for it and should have received the same service as when there were 8-10 carts out there.Overall, I believe too many youngsters work here. And while I am in favor of them working, they also need Proper adult supervision to ensure customers are receiving the service they are paying for. And a manager who knows the ins and outs of the facility.

The prices for skating are different everyday unlike Putters and Gutters who has a set price. Skating Pricing(P&G)​Children 6 years old and under - $2+taxYouth 7 years old - 17 years old - $5+tax​Adults 18+ - $6+taxSkating Aid Rentals - $3.They have less time for you to skate for money. Skating Rink HoursMonday - ThursdayClosedFriday5:00pm - 12:00amSaturday10:00am - 12:00amSunday12:00pm - 6:00pmThey have less time you can skate and for more money than P&G.There is three square cement poles in the middle of the floor wrapped with padding, which takes up room on the tiny floor, makes obstacles for people skating together. And the floor is unlike any floor I have ever skated on. It was like some foamy looking squares, and they are already coming up at the seams in many spots. The music sucked!! And you can not take your todders/infants and skate with the stroller, or children with disabilities/handicapped in wheelchairs out skating with you(you can at P&G if its not busy)!And the kids behind the counter looked scared to have a customer, wouldnt even make eye contact, and looked at each other for answers to any of my questions!! Have to take your skates off to go to the bathroom or go to the snack bar(unlike P&G) I will never ever go back there unless it is for the Go-karts, and that only! It was all around horrible. Paid for an hour for me and my teen and didnt even skate the whole hour!!! Highly disappointed for the amount of money I spent!!!

Really good fun. Little empty when I went so perfect for kids birthday parties. Theres a room for infants and young toddlers but not much in there. Recommend you get the gokarts in early before sun gets too high. Have your kids go to the skating rink while you wait for food. Then hit the arcade. Workers were really cool and understanding. Dont be afraid to ask.

Its now turned into a small skating rink and I mean small for maybe 40 people max. Food is good, but not worth waiting 40 minutes for 2 corn dogs and 1 fry good when no one else ordered intront of me. Those corn dogs were supposed to be hot dogs but wasnt going to wait another 30 min. Cant bring strollers onto the floor so my 1 year old had to wait on the side. Not a very good place.

This location has steadily raised its prices on its games to the point that it is ill advised to casually stop in with the family for some arcade games. Example, one play on a first person shooter is $5.00..one play. $40 will get you about 15 mins of actual gaming. We will not be returning.

Review №63

I like the location, parking lot is very nice size, I saw a lot of reviews that said its a bit pricey however I would pay a tiny more here ANY DAY because the environment is always clean when I go & Im comparing this to (Chuck E Cheese) which is ALWAYS dirty & over crowded. For the price MAKS offers A LOT of space even when its a busy there is still a lot of room to roam to the different game rooms. The food is freshly cooked upon ordering & they have a VERY convenient system for when your food is ready, Also I would like to note the food here doesnt sit out where germs & flies can get to it (like at chuck e cheese) They also offer OUTDOOR activities (chuck e cheese does not) So overall I think its a great place for the price & my kids LOVE coming here. If you want a cheaper dirty place for your kids to play then please go to Chuck E Cheese but if you care about your health & your kids, you will pay a little more for a much better environment. :D

Review №68

This place is the worst excuse of a skating rink I have ever seen in my life. Used to be a game center for kids (overpriced version of Chucky Cheese) and wasnt awesome then either.$5 for 1 hour of skating... NOPE!!! Plus, what the heck is going on with the floor? And the freaking pillers that are smack dab in the middle of the rink itself... Not a good redue of a already failing business.They did add a bar, but of course it is WAY overpriced.Go to Lampasas putters and gutters. WAY BETTER!!

Very expensive in the arcade, the games arent worth $1-$2 to play one turn... the kids had fun skating, even though we only got $10 worth of toys for $80 and they dont re stock the toy options till Wednesday for some reason the kids had fun so thats all that matters. Dont see us returning anytime soon though!

After renovation it has skating, small rink and rather pricey, need more arcade games for smaller children especially, food was not great and staff were unfriendly, including management. The best part about Makes is the go carts! Its made up for our unpleasant experience upon leaving. The guys out there are friendly and welcoming.

The family had a great time! The bonus points on $20 card purchases are a big plus! There are 2 reasons why I couldnt give all 5 stars and they are this.1) The prices of Lazer tag and go carts are too high for the time given.2) The AC seemed to be broken or not working properly. It was extremely hot.Other than that, great family fun and pretty decent food.

This place is nice but a little overpriced for my taste. Its clean and well maintained. It was far less crowded than other places like chuck-e-cheese. For these reasons I feel like it still deserves recognition.But at $1 a game, your money doesnt go far here. Not mention a $4 tiny pizza and paid refills. With kids who like to eat a lot this isnt ideal.

Review №84

I give it 2 stars because for the price to rent a room, and cost of pizza for a party rental was decent, you can also bring in your own food and drinks. The staff was rude so we will never go back. It was not explained that setup time is included in the 2 hours so we asked if we could set up 10-15 minutes early. We were told no, that we could set up 5 minutes early or purchase 15 minutes for $6.50. So i asked if I get 5 minutes to set up that would be 4:25 and I am buying 15 minutes for $6.50 that means I can go into the room at 4:10. The owner/manager and the young girl I was paying laughed at me like it was a joke. If they want to nickel and dime for 15 minutes then I will do the same with my time. It was embarrassing to have them laughing at me and act like it was a stupid question. We live not even 5 minutes from Maks but we will not be going back because of the way I was treated. If you want returning customers, talking down to them and laughing at them is not a way to treat people. You asking for an extra 50 cents is the SAME as me asking for 5 extra minutes, but you did not see me laughing at you.

If you have to step outside to cool off in the beginning of summer, something is definitely wrong. The AC must be set to 85 degrees or something and it feels muggy and hot inside. IMO, the Games are a bit expensive compare to Spare time Texas in temple. Golf course is always fun. 2 1/2 stars. Fix the AC, Dont be Cheap!

We had a lot of fun, but be warned, when they say their games are fifty cents to a dollar they really mean most are a dollar with the exception of a tiny handful of the games. We did have issues with 3 of the games, but the first one we got to replay for free and it worked. Nice clean family environment, but not so great prices. Sadly, the prices are what is going to keep us from going in the future. A game card will not last you long!
