??? 3.5 Stars (but I'm feeling generous today, so let's round up) Not gone lie?I pulled up expecting a huge arena with all-day free play. Something like American Ninja Warrior meets Dave & Buster?s. But nah? that wasn't the setup. Still, my party of 4 (all adults in our fun-loving 30s and 40s) had a great time. We laughed, broke a sweat, and honestly acted like we were filming the pilot episode of Sibling Gladiators: Grown Edition. We booked a week ahead, showed up on time, and realized pretty quick: you
We had an amazing time at Active Arena! It's clean, well-organized, and packed with activities for all ages. The kids loved it, and we enjoyed joining in too. Friendly staff and a safe, energetic atmosphere made it a perfect family outing. We'll definitely be back!
This place is so fun. We had a group of 6 ranging from 5-52 and we all had fun! It's a great place to be very active with air conditioning ?? Also, one of the games was being upgraded and the owner was so kind to offer us to come back the next day and play as long as we wanted on it. Great service, kind staff and fun games
We had a great time. My kids are older (18 and 13) and this was a great time for everyone. Jaiden Bryanna and Star are very polite and informative employees. They answered every question we had and Jaiden even gave my son tips and tricks to help him enjoy all the games as much as possible. We loved it and think it's appropriately priced.
Logan and all employees were great! I wish it wasn't as packed as it was, kids were cutting kind of felt chaotic at times but overall a great time. The baseball game was our favorite!
I had an amazing experience at Active Arena! The facility is top-notch with great equipment, and the atmosphere is always vibrant and welcoming. What really stood out, though, was the exceptional service provided by Fairuz. She went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. Her friendly demeanor and helpful attitude made a real difference in our visit. Highly recommend both the venue and the staff, especially Fairuz! Will definitely be coming back!
We had a fantastic time today at Active Arena for my son?s 10th birthday party! The kids had a blast and all want to go back. The staff was friendly, and professional. I highly recommend a visit!
We brought a group there today and we had an amazing time! The owners and staff were super nice and helpful. We will definitely be back!!
This place was a blast. My best friend and I went come here looking for some competitive fun. Reminded us of high school when we use to compete with each other in sports. Logan and the team did a great job of making us feel welcomed and made sure we had a great time. Highly recommend! You won't regret it!
Had a great time at Active Arena in Frisco! The place is clean, well-organized, and has a great selection of games. Fairuz was super helpful and made sure everything went smoothly. Definitely a spot worth checking out if you're into gaming!
Had a birthday party here and the staff was amazing! It is busy on the weekends but if you can manage having a party during the week - you practically can have the place to yourself! This was so much fun for kids and adults. The party was for 8 & 9 yr old kids and there was plenty for everyone to do. I can see this place as a date night, family night, or even just hang out alone and play. This place isn't an actual arena so you dont have to worry about getting lost in it.
Very clean and fun. Brittany was a great host. We had a great time. Will be back.
Incredibly fun time! 6 boys for a birthday for $100 spent 1.5 hours running around having a blast. Staff was great and very friendly! I highly recommend
First time at Active Arena, GREAT experience!!! Ahym did an amazing job showing us around and explaining each game! my favorite game was the baseball hitting!!
This is a clean and well maintained family oriented place. The activities can be played by kids 5-99. You can play as many games, and as many times as you want within the 75 min alloted. It is great fun! Better than an arcade!
Little more expensive for what is offered in my opinion. There were a few games that were a lot of fun, and then some games that didn't work right. Was sad the VR game had an age requirement of 13+, so my son couldn't play. We drove an hour out of our way to come here, after already driving for 2.5 hours, and was a little disappointed. Probably won't come back, but it was a cool experience for me and my son. Brittany was awesome! Everyone else was nice and helpful as well.
Staff was kind and amazing. Fairux made our experience unforgettable- she was great with the kids. They had a blast! So many fun activities to try, they were playing up until the very last minute. We definitely will be back again!
This was one of the funnest experiences my wife and I have had in a long time. The staff is so friendly and helpful! The prices are reasonable and this is great for kids and adults alike. If you're on a fitness journey and would like to get active on the weekend, this is THE place to be!! Thank you Active Arena staff!
A fun experience ! Can easily spend 1-2 hours. A general admission ticket covers 100 points and you can use them to play a variety of simulated games which takes 15-30 points per game. Better to go as a pair or as a group to make most out of it. The parasailing, ice skating and basketball was great. The simulated games are also fun like step up, tennis, baseball and so on. The staff were very helpful and kind. Went on a saturday 3pm slot and was not too busy, may be because its new. Its an amazing place to
Such a great spot for some family friendly fun! You can virtually play just about any sport here! From soccer, to tennis, to VR paragliding and skiing, there is definitely something for everyone. The owners and everyone who works here is so nice, helpful, and they cheer you on! We can't wait to come back!
We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Everyone was nice and helpful. The equipment actually works and we are sure to visit again when in Dallas. It's also super affordable.
This place was amazing!! My husband took me here for a day date. It is literally an arcade for adults and literally for all ages. Highly recommended! Ayham was so helpful, friendly and explained everything!!
Such an amazing space for date night? Family fun etc. The service from the team was superb! Thank you Team for such an amazing experience!! Huge shout it to Logan for the hospitality
We had a blast! If you want to be cool inside go there! it was affordable!! the owners are super welcoming!! We spent about hour and half there! As parent I had just as much fun playing! Enjoy!
It was SO boring ?? I wouldn't return even if it were free. The advertising is a total catfish situation. It looks fun. It actually feels somewhat like going to the video game museum down the road, except that it's interactive. The tech is outdated and glitches at best. It's more fun to go to Activate in Southlake if you want to break a sweat or challenge yourself.
Mikaela was absolutely awesome! She helped my special needs son very well in the basketball cage. And on anything else he was participated in.
Mike was awesome at the front. It's an active gaming experience. Go check it out.
I had high hopes, but I left feeling a bit disappointed. While the space is clean and the staff was friendly, I was surprised by the limited number of games and activities available. Some games didn't work properly (parasailing was glitchy and ping pong was off). For all the hype, I expected a wider variety of options to keep us entertained for longer. It has potential, but I hope they expand the offerings soon to better match expectations.
This was a cool place for an active experience. My husband and I had a date night here. The staff was really nice and accommodating. I'd come back again.
Took a break and decided to play with Brittany at Active Arena. Actually had a blast playing basketball, robo goalie and all the other mini games. We managed to get a full play session out of every game. It was tiring but we'll worth the fun. It truly is a nice place to unwind and get active. You should go and give a shot !! I definitely recommend bot boxer for a real work out !!!
Had an amazing time. Fairuz, Ayham, Jaiden, TJ, and Lisa were all so very helpful. They made the experience way better than I could have ever imagined. We will definitely be back!
Britney and Bella were great and took care of us throughout the entire process and event. They ensured we had a great time and that everyone got an opportunity to play. The games are very fun and new. Will definitely be coming back.
I took my kids to Active Arena for the first time recently and they absolutely loved it! The place is clean and each activity gives a different vibe! You definitely have to stop at the basketball setup if TJ is there- he played a game with my son and then was able to turn around and give my 6-year-old daughter some basketball tips so she can try and keep up with her big brother! They're already begging to go back. Highly recommend!
We had an amazing time at Active Arena during our spring break! My kids had a blast, and it was so exciting to see them fully engaged in all the activities. The facility is incredibly active, with something for everyone to enjoy. What really stood out was how friendly and welcoming the staff were. The manager, Fairuz, was especially kind and made sure we had a fantastic experience. It's rare to find a place where you feel so valued and taken care of. I also love that Active Arena is great for all ages ? I
Great experience. Everyone was helpful and nice especially Mordecai and Aryam. A great way to spend the first Saturday after school lets out for the summer. We shall definitely return.
Loved the T ball, wish it was more than 5 balls. Great experience, be prepared to sweat. If you older than 26 be prepared for that back to hurt ???? Ayham is the best make sure you see him!
Had a blast! Took our grandson and the family enjoyed it. Brian at the front desk was super nice and welcoming as were the rest of the staff.
So much fun! I took my sister and nephew we all had a blast. The staff is amazing and very helpful. Will definitely be back!
Brian, Mykayla and Logan were awesome and helped us with every game! The wait wasn't bad for the games and everything was cleaned after we played. Very fun for the family and the staff was friendly and ready to help.
I am so disappointed at how my family and I were just treated. We arrived as walk ins around 6:45pm and the staff told us they were really crowded. She told us to walk around to see if we wanted to start our play time now based off the lines at each individual game. We walked around and most games didn't have more than 2 people waiting. Came back to the front and told them we were fine starting game time. She then called a supervisor to double check we could start. Supervisor told her no the couldn't servi
We went here with our family of 8 adults last night. We had the best time. Be prepared to be ?active?! We'll definitely go back. It's a great date night with a good dose of healthy competition.
Ayham greeted us as soon as me and my wife walked through the door. Great experience. Great Customer Service. Would definitely recommend for a couples day out or family day out.
We had a blast really cool place lots of activities
We had a blast! Love these fun activities that have popped up around town.
Had an amazing experience! The staff were incredibly friendly and brought so much energy to the game. Their enthusiasm made everything so much more enjoyable, and their positive vibes were truly contagious. You can tell they genuinely love what they do, and it made the whole experience fun and memorable. If you're looking for a place with happy people and an exciting atmosphere, this is definitely it!
Came for spring break, we really enjoyed the staff and their friendliness. We were able to hit all of the games and even had time to do our favorite again. Highly recommend wearing athletic attire and running shoes
We some of Father Days here and had a blast. Ayham was awesome in helping us navigate through all the things.
My experience was amazing! Logan, Star and Bryanna were so helpful and they made our time well worth it! We will definitely be back
Bryanna, Star, Logan and MyKaela these ladies were amazing. Very helpful and professional with everything. Definitely enjoyed my time there because of them. Thank you so much.
Cool place! Highly recommended, super fun ??
We went for Valentines Day, it was amazing. The customer Service was top notch. We had clear instructions and help whenever we needed it. Makayla was great and very welcoming, and we were helped by another lady who's name I did not catch (sadly, she was amazing), but she had blonde hair and was a fantastic addition to our experiences
Active Arena was awesome! We took our son there in January to celebrate his 9th birthday along with some of his friends. They had an awesome time, and the employees there were very helpful and friendly. I think by far most of the kids favorite game was the Soccer net with the goalie. That was probably my favorite thing there too, but the basketball game is pretty awesome too! The only negative, was that the Simulator for the paraglider is only for certain ages. But I understand that, as did my son and hi
The concept is cool, but not well run/organized, 3-4 games weren't working properly and one was shut down completely. We had a time slot and that ment nothing, we didn't get to do all the games because time slots weren't monitored. Definitely would not recommend as a date night for the weekend, I have hopes during the week would be better. I kind of felt like it was a waste of time especially because we didn't even get to do half the games.
Great location. Fantastically fun games with little to no wait for each room. Really great and unique experience, it felt like playing a video game in real life (leader board and all). Staff was very helpful and lively (shout out to Nadia). Would go again, highly recommend.
Thanks to the Assistant Manager Britney for making the Sunday a Funday for the kids. 7 Stars ?? for great customer service.
This is a very cool concept, but many of the options are not built for smaller kids. My son is 10 and really struggled to effectively do the soccer, basketball, boxing and baseball games. Staff was very friendly and helpful and the facility was kept very clean. Music was nice but not obnoxiously loud. This place would probably be best for young adults or families with teenage children.
This place was the perfect end to a fun spring break! All of the workers were so helpful and helped us whenever we needed. Such a great experience! Hugh recommend!
My wife and I had a blast! She was beating up the bag thinking it was me forgetting to take the garbage out lol
So much fun! Definitely made my inner child happy. Was a good workout. Logan was super sweet and helpful definitely coming back!
Myself and other parents that came to my son's birthday party said they didn't know about Active Arena in Frisco. Itvwas easy to find and the kids had a lot of fun. I never saw the space to host a party online before arriving but the staff made it easy upon arrival. They made sure the space was clean, offered to carry anything in and made sure to let me know they were available for anything if needed. It is an open space so you are still a part of the viewing area of all sports. The price is about the price
This place deserves a full 10 stars! ?? my husband and I came here for our anniversary. We wanted this anniversary to be more active, instead of your stereotypical steakhouse dinner. They did not disappoint! Staff was extremely helpful and friendly. At your average arcade, you can hardly find an employee to help. Active Arena staff is actively involved; they cheer your on, encourage you, help you. They look like they enjoy their jobs. The only downside was how sweaty I was after all the activity. I highly r
We had a blast!! Ayham & Logan were awesome, my kids can't wait to come back from New Mexico to play again!
This was our first time to visit and we had a great time. Fairuz and Brittany were very helpful and definitely will be back with more friends. Thanks again for everything ??
Very fun experience. The staff was welcoming and very helpful. A great date, friends or family night out. Definitely will be coming back soon.
First time coming here and I had a blast! Was helped by TJ who was amazing at answering questions I had about some of the games I played. I'll definitely be back!
The games are fun if you are able to play them. Unfortunately they don't limit the number of people in the place so you will wait in line for every game for 15-20+ mins and you only have 1 hr 15 mins to play games. I would only go back during a time that wasn't busy. Otherwise it isn't worth the cost. It was $100 for 3 people and 2 of us played 4 games 1 of us only got to play 2 games. Not worth the cost for that. You pay to stand in line during a busy time.
Super helpful staff, very friendly, fun and active games! Try to beat my 45mph football throw :) also, aim low on the robot goalie
This is the perfect place to beat the summer heat and remain active! With a little bit of everything across a variety of different sports and skill levels, you are bound to find something you can test out or become a pro at! Active Arena and its team is so accommodating and helpful, I will definitely be coming back!
Came here for the first time on Valentines Day! It was great! Very fun and very friendly, helpful, and AWESOME staff! Definitely coming back here with a bigger group next time!
I had an amazing time and all the staff was extremely friendly. Fairuz was super friendly and made sure I was taken care of. Will definitely be coming back.
Had the best time ! Invited to check it out as media and will definitely be back ! 5 year old had fun and could do most of the activities. Staff is lovely and helps guide you on how to use the programs and machines. You can definitely get a workout in !
went here over the weekend after being so excited to, and it was just? okay. I can easily see kids and families loving this and staying entertained for a while! but for just two of us, it was underwhelming? the value for $27 didn't meet my expectations, but I still don't feel ripped off, necessarily. we would likely only come back if there was some kind of special happening and/or maybe with a big group! there's definitely some cool stuff, though! the robot goalie is fun, but you're limited to 6 shots and
Logan was so helpful working with my son to get his form correct while skiing. We had a lot of fun!
Not worth the money, go somewhere else! This place is nothing like what is advertised. Most of the screens didn't work while my group was there. This is the adult equivalent to chuckie cheese. Also we went later in the evening and there where still kids running around destroying things. Please save your money and go somewhere else.
Love the building, very clean and kid friendly. Kind workers with a great overall experience. Logan was very informative being it was our first time and very patient with giving me instructions. Will be coming back !!
Awesome experience, Logan was super nice! The batting cage was definitely a highlight! Totally coming back!
Not sure how a party or other events are managed, but when we went we couldn't enjoy everything. It was too many people. For this to be timed, they need to manage it better. 4 of the games were not working properly. Paying for 1-hour and 15mins of play and waiting in line for 30 plus mins of your time is unacceptable!
Ayham was awesome in helping us with our first time here!
We had a blast! All the staff was great especially the young lady at baseball and soccer games
This place was amazing for my sons 14th bday with his crew!!! Lisa was truly amazing and showing us all the great games!!
Fun and active place for kids and adults to enjoy themselves. The staff is really nice and helpful. Enjoyed being here!
It's not worth the money, this is mostly for little kids. It was extremely packed so we could barely do stuff and we got it at 7:45pm for our 1hr and 15min and they kicked us out at 8:45 and did not let us finish until 9pm bc they shut everything down. Will not be coming back
Star and Logan were very helpful. They took the time to explain everything to my nephew and made him feel comfortable.
Had an amazing time with my girlfriend. Brian and Danny were both amazing staff!! Despite being super busy they always tried their best to help us! I'd definitely come back again!
Fun night! Friendly, supportive staff. Ayhan was helpful and took great photos of us on our way out.
So much fun! A bunch of different things to do Have a good mixture of intensity levels Staff was friendly and helpful, thanks Logan!
Loved the softball cage! Top 5 active arena activity! Should allow more swings per person. Ayham was amazing! Top 2 NOT 2 for Ayham ??????????????????????????????????
We took field trip of 40 academy students and they had a blast on para gliding boxing shooting soccer tennis ice skating many more games all based on AI. Kids will enjoy this venue and I hope the games mature enough to add more creative for action packed fun. Thank you staff for making it happen. We will be back again soon
It’s a mix of nostalgia and high-energy fun! Many arcades blend retro classics like Pac-Man and pinball with modern VR games, racing simulators, and rhythm challenges — often with music, lights, and a social vibe.
Both can be great! Solo visits let you focus on your favorite games, while going with friends adds competition, teamwork, and laughs. Many people plan arcade meetups as a casual hangout or even date spot.
Usually just yourself and a way to pay (some arcades still use coins, others use cards or apps). If you're competitive, bring your A-game. If you're social, bring friends or meet new ones over multiplayer games.
Weekdays or early afternoons are usually less crowded — perfect for focused play. Evenings and weekends bring the buzz, especially at barcades or venues with DJs, tournaments, or themed nights.
Absolutely! Arcades attract a mix of casual players and serious gamers. Whether you're jumping into a four-player co-op or chatting between rounds, it's a fun, low-pressure way to connect over shared interests.
Not at all. While many arcades are family-friendly, there are also adult-oriented ones with full bars, 18+ nights, or vintage nostalgia themes. Arcades today cater to everyone — from first-timers to lifelong gamers.
Yes! Many arcades host regular competitions, retro nights, cosplay parties, and more. Whether you're into high scores or just want to watch and vibe, events add an extra layer to the experience.
No worries — arcades are about having fun, not being perfect. Try a variety of games, ask others for tips, and remember: the vibe is more “let’s play” than “let’s win.”
Yes, virtual reality (VR) games in arcades are a top attraction in 2025! Titles like Beat Saber and Half-Life: Alyx deliver immersive thrills with cutting-edge headsets, motion tracking, and responsive controllers. High-resolution displays and spatial audio create heart-pounding experiences, from slashing rhythms to battling zombies. Arcades feature multiplayer VR zones and tournaments, fostering lively communities. VR booths are regularly packed, proving their captivating, next-level gameplay makes them a must-try arcade experience.
