Pro Tips
- 1.Arrive early on weekends or make a reservation online,bay wait times can exceed 1-2 hours during peak times, but kids can enjoy the venue's games and activities while waiting
- 2.Request a lower-level bay if you have younger children, as it's easier for them to see their ball flight and reduces the climb with little ones
- 3.Order food when you first arrive since kitchen times can be slow during busy periods,the menu has great kid options like sliders, pizza, and chicken tenders
- 4.Take advantage of the junior clubs available for smaller kids rather than letting them struggle with adult-sized equipment
- 5.Monday through Wednesday mornings and early afternoons are the quietest times for families looking to avoid crowds and get more relaxed playing time
Best Time to Visit
Visit weekday mornings or early afternoons (10 AM - 2 PM) for the shortest wait times and a more relaxed atmosphere. Weekends from 9-11 AM are also good for families before the adult crowds arrive. Avoid Friday and Saturday evenings when the venue takes on more of a bar atmosphere.

Pricing is by the bay (not per person) with hourly rates typically ranging $35-65 depending on time of day, making it affordable for families who can share. Food and drinks are ordered separately. Parking is plentiful and free, and the venue is fully climate-controlled for year-round comfort.
