Activate kicked off the year of celebrating sisterhood! My friends and I were worried because of the incoming snowstorm but they stayed open and we made it in! We were greeted with friendly faces ready to help us get checked in. No wait times not packed at all it was really perfect timing! This place was a 10 out of 10! Will be returning! Definitely wear gym shoes and your apple you’re in for a workout!

Went on Monday 12/29. This place is awesome. Staff was great and helpful. The activities were so cool. We had a group of 5 and that seemed to be a perfect number. The grid and the laser were our favorites.

This was definitely a wonderful experience for my son and I we had an absolute blast but one thing I didn’t like was I paid for an hour and a half and after we were done with our first game we had an hour and 12 minutes left. I didn’t really understand that because the game we played was only about one minute. So I felt like I was shortened on our time just a little bit. My son kept saying go say something mommy but I just didn’t wanna have to deal with that.

Super fun game place, would keep in mind when going that the max size a room accepts on the wristbands is 2-5 so if you have bigger then you have to split off and do different games etc For each game you win you get a coin and coins get you merch you can get with them at the end of your session or save up for bigger merch over time You are guaranteed a keychain at the very least with the games you win within 75 min of game time there They do have military discount at this location that made each ticket 29$ instead of 32 There is lockers to store your items Staff was very nice and helpful Would say the only thing that was buggy was the photo area where it takes a picture for you so I would try and take a picture of your photo before it disappears just incase Can sign the waiver beforehand as well to save time online though it didn’t take long anyways in person Be in active clothing, come with people who are mindful of their surroundings cause you will often have chances to run into your party members here Very fun time here I recommend it greatly

Had a BLAST during the free sessions they did during October. Staff is very friendly and knowledgeable, operations ran very smoothly with plenty of staff and well maintained rooms. We enjoyed the laser, mega-grid, strike, and hoops rooms the most but all are fun. Plenty of game modes that you can’t even play everything in 1-2 visits to keep visits fun and fresh for a while! I wish they had some kind of membership program because I feel like I’ve gone to the gym after every visit haha. Better than a workout!
