Reviews of Main Event Hoffman Estates (Park)

Robbin Liu

Great place to bowl. Nice open atmosphere between the dining room, pool table and the bar. Bowling area and arcade area are nice and updated. Very clean.

Adam Spychala

Great place to have fun but way too expensive. If you have 2 people for bowling you have to pay a min of $36. Go elsewhere if you are in a small group on that front. The arcade was fun but all priced too high. $20 allowed for only 8-10 games.

Neocean Long

This place is amazing and the day and time we went was not crowded at all. Great place to take your kids and have fun.

Anita Blake

Lots of fun. Many things to do. Great food and drinks

Lynette Rugg

Great place to have some fun!

Meena Beena

Came here and got the summer fun deal for $20, give or take, that included unlimited time with the ropes coarse, bowling, and laser tag. We had a great time and it was worth the money.

Great family fun. Depending on where you are located perhaps a bit out of the way, however in this self contained playground for kids and "adults" you find a plethora of activities and food to keep you busy for a full day! I hate to compare to D&B (Dave and Busters) but this place has much more, Laser Tag, bowling, Pool Tables, Zip Line, Arcade just to name a few items. Check it out, you won't be disappointed.

Hosted a birthday party for my son there. Got to say I was not very impressed. I felt more rushed than anything. I understand they have a schedule to follow, but I hosted parties at different places and this one by far was the least private and most stressful.

Jaime Hjelm

They do a really great job for kids Birthday parties. The food is good too. The establishment overall was very clean. Staff were extremely helpful.

Bernard Barnes

Great place for bowling, arcades and laser tag all under one roof.

Hasan Zafar

Extremely fun place to go to with friends/ family

Yadhira Tenorio

Super fun place to go to and there fries are amazing!

Mark Anderson

If you live around here or just are in town stayin in the Schaumburg area, this place is a must visit. Bowlin, billards, rope course, laser tag, all for super cheap. Had a bday there and Jeff the manager was so awesome, their servers are all really nice, and you csn spend an entire day in there with everything they have. 10/10, will be back a bunch more.

Manuel Hernandez

Awesome place to go and have fun!!!! Took my son for his birthday!!! He absolutely loved it!!! The food was good with pricing at normal prices for a place like that. They have bowling, laser tag, arcade games, adventure course. Many things to do at not bad pricing!!! Definetly will go back.

Greg LeVault

Horrible, horrible service and to say it's overpriced would be the understatement of the year! Hated it and so did my daughter.

Tracy Pinson

great place to take the kids. So many gaming options, and games for the adults too. The food is good and very fair priced.

Mateusz Rogowski

Main event is really fun place for kids and adults alike. I do dislike the wait times on a Saturday night. Bartender was kinda rude when I asked to be put on the list of the pool tables. He told me there’s a lot of people already on it.

Gabby Veneziano

This was absolutely amazing my entire family went and we had an amazing time the gravity ropes were my favorite part. I also enjoyed the laser tag and the arcade! Definitely would go again!!

sophia Morris

Fun place to go and have a good time with family and friends.

KinglePringle

Great fun! I liked all the games, it has guitar hero and vr, 10/10 would go again.

Gregory Beck

Modern place to go bowling and play video games. There are cheaper bowling alleys in the area. There are places in the area that have more video games. However they have Lazer Tag and inside rope gym. The modern upscale environment is also a plus.

Jacylyn Villanueva

The most fun I've had with arcade games in a long time! Mondays give you the option of choosing either unlimited arcade games, laser tag, or bowling.

S Koby

It's nice, but extremely over priced for everything for the games to the food and drinks. It might be nice if your a just a couple. But family wise it'll drain your bank.

Christian Ortiz

we loved it. we went as a family and my nephews and nieces had such a blast, also the rewards are not that expensive so we got a lot of points that way my nieces got the rewards they wanted.

Zimmy Videos

The birthday party here was so fun!! Just have a question, why does laser tag have SO many players every round? Theres like at least one person everywhere you go. But still was great experience.

Timur Alymbaev

Great venue for kids! Good service and staff.

Royal Shows

It was horrible I got at least 15 jackpots and none of them counted. I put money on my card and I only go 315 points when I should’ve gotten at least 2500 point. The lady at the desk kept saying he same thing over and over again, it’s a timed card you can’t earn points. Even though we put money on the card. It was a horrible experience and you should go to Dave and busters instead.

Jaime Idiyaly

Can't beat the Monday night all you can bowl/pool, etc. deal! Great atmosphere for adults and kids. Highly recommended

butter king

Love it here. Love the laser tag and the vr games. Would recommend

Skel The Enforcer

An amazing place for overall family fun it's enough for the kiddos to do and enough for the adults to do that leaves everybody satisfied. Somewhat pricey wish they had an all day Fun pass for the arcade it's still great atmosphere with loads of Fun

RAY PUENTES

Great place to have fun and unwind. From bowling to lazer tagging. All ages can have fun.

Lauren Jones

This is a pretty basic arcade & Bowling Alley. It's just wider and has a lot of neon signs. If you are coming here by bus, note that the bus stops running at 6:00 PM SHARP!! I was stranded there once by Pace & by the cab companies. It's really just a blowing alley, arcade climbing area and bar.

Belen Navarrete

Very similar to Dave and buster's with the exception that this place offers a bowling alley and laser tag. Had a good time

Vivian Rodriguez

Nice place, clean and fun. My only qualm is the game time you get and the pricing of games. I payed $1.50 in credits to play space invaders for literally 40 seconds and game over. That's a pretty big rip off. I left after only an hour because they program these games to rip you off.

Mason Drake

Their food was amazing and the employees were nice the games are super fun they also have VR recommend coming to over the weekends or during a birthday and on Mondays the credits are 10% off

Jennifer Hail

Laser tag, bowling, zip line, arcade games, food, and SO much fun! We had teammates here for a fun day of building a close knit team, and they had a blast! They spent four hours here, and it flew by. Super fun and awesome! Not bad prices either!

Monica Mora

Great place to go and have some drinks. Drinks are affordable and taste good.

The kids usually end up enjoying what they actually get a chance to do however I'd rather pay for 2 rounds of laser tag than a band that covers things like ropes and billiards which my two young boys will not do. And forget bowling, there's never a lane available. Having the unlimited wrist bands is great in theory except there needs to be better monitoring of the lines. All my boys wanted to do is laser tag but while standing in line at the time written on their slip, bigger kids and a huge group from a birthday party just walked right in front of them like they didnt exist. They were 1st in line and ended up being near the last to go in. When signing up for a time we should be told that a party would have priority in that time slot. So what went from a line of 10 people ended up being at least 4 times that. Quality over quantity really should be the motto but at Main event it's clearly not. The employees are all teens who look like deer in headlights when you as a question. There are other options for family entertainment around, I dont think we will be back. I'd rather spend my money on quality!

Rich Lam

Really enjoy my time here anytime I visit. Fan of arcades and bowling plus laser tag is fun with large groups. Newest addition of Beat Saber is worth the trip if you dont have VR

David Stoev

Their bowling system doesn't work properly. One example is that the bumpers sometimes randomly turn on. They also have the worst workers ever. When you tell them something they either can't remember what you said or they don't understand you after explaining something very detailedly 20 times. They need to get better employees.

Suketu Patel

Great concept and a place to have fun with kids, but purchasing wrist band (kids) for unlimited bowling, Laser Tag, and some of other activities not worth it. Given my kids can't even utilize anything but bowling at their age. Even worse, when you pay for unlimited bowling but you only get an hour at a time, and get put on waiting list. We went there to celebrate Birthday, pizza and service both sucked

kat deithloff

Pretty nice lots of activities to choose from. I really like that there's sanitation napkin stations throughout the area. Love how the kids can climb safely above the arcade. Seemed pretty organized as well.

TJ Jackson

Went here for my best friends birthday. It was my first time. It's really amazing! From the cost being reasonable to the service being outstanding, I'll definitely be going back.

Nina K

Plenty for kids to do and the food was actually really good. I really enjoyed the Players Platter appetizer. It's nice to find a place that both kids and adults can enjoy. It's all a bit pricey but you get what you pay for. I would rather pay a little more for quality food and games than save a few bucks on a dingy atmosphere and mediocre food. This is a great hidden gem in the suburbs.

hugo viveros

Went for a friend’s birthday party last night. Cool space but slow service. I got wings, they seemed barely cooked and I didn’t finish them. I am now sweating and have a killer stomach ache. Thanks for the food poisoning!

Israel Becerril

love places like this, bowling, pool tables, arcades and more in just one place, very reasonable prices and really nice atmosphere, I'll give it 5 stars but I didn't because some of the staff members could use some attitude adjustment, other than that, it was great!!

david garcia

Great place for the kids. We went for their monday night special. 20.00 for unlimited games,bowling, laser tag, and a ropes course. We stayed from 4 to close at 12 and the kids were said that we had to leave so early. Great staff and very clean location.

Kevin Hines

Friendly staff with a great food selection and decent beer selection. Large number of bowling lanes and other great options for the kids with a zip course, video games, etc.

Xiaoyan Tang

It's an awesome place for families. I enjoy playing all activities with my son. We go there weekly during winter. They have a great deal on some Mondays.

Rick Hogan

Fun place to visit! They have video games, bowling and other fun activities. The food and beverages are very good, too.

Audrey Robledo

The idea was fun but it didn't live up to our expectations. The place was pretty disorganized and as much as I wanted to like it, I couldn't. They don't mention that there are waiting lists for bowling, laser tag, or the gravity ropes. We got there and ended up waiting an hour and a half before being able to do anything. When we finally got to bowl, I placed an order for a few glasses of water along with a few glasses of soda to start us off. When the server dropped the drinks off, we asked if she could please grab us another glass of water. She told us to get it ourselves at their water station. First of all, their water station is just a water dispenser sitting on a wall by the bar. You use little paper cones to drink out of if you're lucky enough to have water in the dispenser when you got there. Every time we went, it was empty. Secondly, if I'm paying for drinks and tipping, shouldn't the server be providing the service? I would understand it if we weren't sitting around and just wanted a quick drink but that wasn't the case. Any way, the big fun super sundae was fun, delicious, and definitely worth the price. The food was also good and inexpensive. I'm not entirely sure I want to come back but if I do, I'll definitely wait for another special. I can't justify paying full price for the experience we had.

Tanya Bland

What a cool place, hidden but we were recommended to stop in. The games and drinks are fabulous.

Zia Syed Hussaini

Awesome place for kids and adult worth it.

Moneki Hamlin

It was clean and the milkshakes were very good .the games were nice staff was friendly

ryan bell

Kids loved it. Great place for families

anita szeto

Fun, clean indoor amusement center with bowling, laser tag, video games and a ropes course. We attended a kids birthday party for 7 year olds. They bowled, ate pizza and played video games. The kids had a blast. There were attendants helping with bowling shoes rentals and food. Video games are about $1.50-1.75 per game with many games awarding tickets for prize redemption. There is a full service bar and eatery. They are pretty busy on the weekends and reservations are recommended to reserve bowling lanes.

Jeannie Dilger

Fun place to hang out with friends. Also good for networking events.

Thomas Treml

Pricey etertainment,nice atmosphere.Absolute Clueless Bowlers when it comes to bowling courtesy.We were surround by baffoons!
