Pro Tips
- 1.Reserve a bay online in advance, especially on weekends, as walk-in wait times can exceed 1-2 hours during peak times.
- 2.Request a ground-floor bay if you have younger kids, it's easier to access and feels less intimidating than upper levels.
- 3.Take advantage of the unlimited game play per hour, kids can try different game modes to keep things exciting.
- 4.Order food when you first arrive as kitchen times can be slow during busy periods, and kids will want snacks while playing.
- 5.Visit on weekday afternoons (2-5 PM) for the shortest waits and a more relaxed family atmosphere before the evening crowd arrives.
