This was great because you have the best view of the area below! Our bay was fully equipped with a huge table and 8 chairs.

We were on the THIRD LEVEL just so you know. Once there, were were greeted by a staff member who instructed us on the games available and the layout rules and restrictions. We had a few beverages and then my son got a text message (which is how they tell you your bay is ready and where it’s located) for us to go to our bay. The bar was crowded but not so that we couldn’t get a seat. Everyone we encountered on the way was friendly and asked us if we needed anything.

We were told we could wait right there or head up to the second floor to the bar to wait, which we did. The lot was packed! Once we went in, my son checked us in at the desk and we were told there was a 30 minute wait for a “bay”. Once we pulled into the parking area, it was evident the place was very popular. We both have read a lot about it and have passed by the location many times since it was being built. My son wanted to go here for his birthday, to see what this place was all about.
