Eat. Bowl. Play.

It’s hard to find a place that can entertain everybody in the family, but Main Event Entertainment does the job! You can go bowling (cosmic bowling), eat in two restaurants, play laser tag, shuffleboard or billiards, explore a huge arcade or take a gravity ropes course that’s spread out above the arcade area.
I’ve never seen a more state-of-the-art bowling facility. Bowlers can take pictures of themselves to appear on the screen when it’s their turn to bowl. When you pay for bowling and shoes, you give your name to the cashier and the photo gets added when you take your picture. They also program the game so younger bowlers can have bumpers that automatically come up when it’s their turn to bowl.
We explored the arcade and loved all the games. We gave each child their own “FUNcard” to play and loaded it with $10 per card. We went through it pretty quickly, as most games are $1-$1.75. All tickets won are added to the FUNcard that paid for the game. When you’re done playing, you take your FUNcard to the Winner’s Choice prize center and they’ll tell you your ticket total.
While all this was happening, the Gravity Ropes Course was above our heads! It was so neat to see the bigger kids on the narrow planks suspended above us. For safety, kids must be at least 48 inches tall for this activity.
There’s no standing in line to play laser tag – you check in when you arrive and get a time to come back. Kids must be at least 48 inches tall to play, so if you have smaller kids, they can play on the interactive floor while you wait for the bigger kids to finish (about 15 minutes). Play on the floor is free, and kids can choose from 10 virtual games projected on the floor, such as soccer or pop the balloons.
We were there for more than four hours and had a blast! My sons enjoyed the interactive floor and the arcade the most. My oldest said, “We MUST come back!”
Tip: Put small stickers on each child’s FUNcard; that way if they get mixed up, you can tell them apart.
