We visited Side Quest today with our 3 sets of twins to play games for one set of twins’ birthday and had the best time. My twins (aged 14, 9, and 5) all enjoyed the ease of playing games as much as they wanted without carrying around tokens or game cards. I enjoyed not having to follow 6 kids around and make sure they didn’t lose tokens and game cards. The selection of games was great. The claw machines were everyone’s favorite part- especially the ones that let the little ones play until they win. All my kids raved about the popcorn and selection of sodas that they were able to get on their own and refill as much as they liked. The staff and James at the front were all helpful and friendly. My kids were all at ease here and able to act like kids and enjoy themselves. I never write reviews, but the whole experience was a 10 out of 10. I wish places existed like this when I was a kid and I hope this place sticks around for a long time.

Wow! What an awesome experience! This free play arcade is made for kids! The games are fun, the decor offers great photo opportunities, and the food is tasty. I LOVE that the sodas are full sugar non-gmo. We are a homeschool family and the last Tuesday of the month is homeschool day. $8 a kid to play all day?! What an awesome treat. We will go every month!

This was a great first experience for my son’s 9th. Birthday party. They were available and informative and everything was great. Games were legit for being free and Meer, Amanda, and Nathan were amazing hosts. Happy for choosing this place for his birthday party.

We just had our daughter's 13th birthday party here and it was amazing. The staff, Amanda, Meer, Hooty, and James were amazing very friendly and extremely helpful. The pizza has nice and hot, as was the popcorn, which was made fresh. And all the games!!!! So many great games from back in the day as well as new ones. This is a great place for a party and just to hang out and play.
