Customer Reviews

This is an AMAZING place! There is so much to do already and there is still more being built. The food and service inside the Dome is outstanding. Arcade, golf, axe throwing - you name it and it's here. A great place to bring the family and spend time together.

This review is specifically for the bar & grill. We arrived around 1:45pm on Father's Day to eat first and were then going to check out the activities. We asked at the front if we needed to be seated and were told to seat ourselves and someone would be with us. After 20 minutes of sitting and no waitstaff in site in the entire restaurant, I went up to the bar and they said someone would be over. A few minutes later someone was over to take our order. After another 20 minutes or so, parts of our meal started

Very disappointing seeing this place charge $60+ an hour for a bay in the dome. Been a customer here for years when early bird was $18 an hour, comparing it to Topgolf that runs $30 an hour Monday- Friday completely booked out everyday making extra money on drinks and food. If they simply lowered there prices to match top golf there biggest competitor the place would be packed out everyday Monday- Friday. Not even having a server on the main floor because there was only 1 bay out of 50 being used. Would lov

LING IS AMAZING. Tried to go to six flags but it was closed and we totaled our car on some ridiculous pot hole and Ling was so accommodating made us realize that everything happens for a reason and we all cheered and did shots. Don't know about any of the facilities but would 10/10 come back just for the bar tender Ling. THANK U BABY

Had a great time playing golf at Adventure Crossing. We were especially excited that our favorite waitress Ling was working. She is so sweet and just makes us feel like family. There have been many changes since we were there last. Price went up and no breakfast. Both changes were bad business decisions. We used to go every week when it was $20.00 an hour would always order breakfast and drinks and play for 2 hrs. The upstairs and downstairs were packed. Everyone was either ordering drinks or food. Today t

Wish I could give zero stars. Made a reservation online a week prior and received a confirmation email the day before. When we arrived they had no open suites despite half the place being empty. "The system" made a mistake. The manager was nice and offered us food & drinks and 1hr suite time when one became available, which was a decent compromise for some in our party travelling an hour to the site. Then they stuck us in the corner (behind a curtain) of the empty dome and forgot about us completely.

Very clean facility which can be rented for events. We recently broke a Guinness world record here.

i went here 1 time and NEVER AGAIN! the staff were horrible to me and my 3 other friends because we were playing on 4 separate lanes. there was food from last night and threatened us to kick us out for ABSOLUTE NO REASON! don't recommend it AT ALL & one of the workers disrespect my friends mom when trying to speak. NEVER COME HERE EVER!

Great driving range! Great place, nice and spacious! Usually playing amazin? country music!!! And they got some great comfortable couches to chill on while you waiting for your buddy to finish his turn!

The range is great but the service is beyond horrible. 25 mins to get a server and then 40 mins to get your drinks if they ever even show up. It's like this every time. You are better off spending your money at golf kings.

Johnette knows how to play her cards. When to hold em and when to fold em. I've been here multiple times. Food is above decent, definitely enjoyable, the games are fun. But the service is what will bring me back. My server big dude, forget his name was great but people like Johnette is what makes or breaks theses places. Our group arrived early to play games and wait for our suite and as we watch the group in our bay to be lie about when they started and when the game was shut off ( easily verified by our

Service was awful. Booked a driving range bay for 1.5 hours. During this time not one server appeared, even after asking staff several times to order food and drinks. Place is also dirty, and there are barely any clubs to use. Won't be coming back.

It used to be great with their weekend early bird deal, but I guess too many people caught on. It's disappointing when it's packed all the time, yet they still feel the need to raise prices. Haven't been back since.

Recently opened so I won't go too harsh on them We did the axe throwing which was really fun!! Our drinks from the bar were not good I had to send it back, we ordered the guacamole and Queso from the appetizers but they were both prepackaged foods, the guacamole was disgusting to be honest we didn't eat it at all, the Queso as well. Our server was very friendly no complaints there. We still had a fun time. I think they need to work on making things homemade and work on the bar drinks. I'll go back to give t

We had such a great time here. Ling gave us such wonderful service. We would totally come back again. Ling was very good with our food sensitivities. ??

Awful service. I used to come here every Sunday in the off season but I will never go back now. Last time u went they didn't have the range setup so there were no markers in place to judge distance or have aim points for the games and now I just went and they change their prices arbitrarily and do not honor what their own website says their prices are. Terribly managed faculty with a staff who could care less about their customers experience

Had a great time at the show, just didn't like they started charging people for parking ??

Great place to sharpen your game! Simulator is true to form and you will need to chip your putts to a 1, 2 or 3 foot target 17 and 41 yards away. Can improve your game by 4 or 5 strokes.

Very bad service. they basically kicked me out of the ax throwing with no refund because they didn't tell me that my whole family cant participate in the game and then the manager gave me such attitude I don't ever want to go back there.

Played in the golf dome. Not a single person there and staff didn't let my four friends play on separate bays. Staff were terrible and so mean. Never coming back again.

I recently visited Adventure Crossing USA in Jackson and was incredibly impressed by the staff, especially Ling. From the moment I arrived, they were friendly, attentive, and went out of their way to make sure everything was perfect. Everyone had a great time! Thanks to their exceptional service, my kids were even more enjoyable. I highly recommend visiting and hope you're lucky enough to meet Ling too!

It's definitely not a Top Golf. It's a high school bubble with turf. The food is all frozen and compares to the quality of a TGIF. There are a dozen video games/VR entertainment stations whose technology will be out of date in 24 months. And let's not forget it's surrounded by warehouses and fast food restaurants. It's a shame seems like someone is running out of money cause it brand new but look like it was built in 2008. Hopefully the sports facilities are put to good use.

I like to run barefoot through the fields of astro turf and never have my allergies act up. When I frolic on this turf it never rains.

I attend this facility every year with my Teen Travel camp and the kids always rave about how great this place is! The staff is so attentive, the food is great quality, and you really do get your bang for your buck if you need a place for a group event. The driving range is personally my favorite!!

The Bartenders need to stop circling the bar looking at the end side of the bar and turn around and notice we need drinks 6 people at the bar 3 tenders 20 minutes for a Yuengling

HORRIBLE !! When I walked in it looked like a beautiful place, but that was only till I went to the service desk which has the worst service in the world they tried overcharging me until I spent 10 minutes showing them what it shows on their website.

We booked Adventure Crossing for our work party to celebrate an employee?s 10 year anniversary with our company. Robert Rivera made booking this event a breeze and was consistently available to answer any questions we had. Any changes we made were NEVER an issue. They were so accommodating for all our requests, which we greatly appreciated. On the day of the event and from the moment we arrived, the staff welcomed and took care of us, even helped us decorate our area! The games were fun and the food surpass

First time here to celebrate my son's 21st birthday. Excellent customer service and our waiter Tommy was sweet and made sure we were taken care of. Place is not as big as I thought but still worth it. Food was good and priced pretty decent for the portions. Will definitely return.

Only giving any stars because our waiter was pretty cool. I made reservations weeks in advance for Valentine?s Day weekend.. We had a one hour reservation at 6 pm for axe throwing. The area was pretty cool, but the tomahawk axes all malfunction? The blade part falls off every time you throw it and you have to put it back on and hammer it tight? Not sure why this is a thing. We tried all of the tomahawks and they all fell off. We got done with axe throwing at 645 and our reservation for the indoor top golf s

I wish there was an option for zero stars. My husband and I booked a booth and half the games were missing the balls to play, the sticks for golf were only lefties as well as the hockey stick. The kids clubs were all gone. There were only 2 other booths in the whole place being used and the staff took 20 minutes to greet us and take our drink order, the young girl at the desk said the servers were too busy. I didn't see one adult working, all young kids. The food was a 2/10 and service was terrible. Ketchup

Staff was great. Overall amazing experience I can't wait to go back

We were seated quickly at the restaurant and the server took our order in a timely fashion but that was the end of normalcy. Our appetizers and main course came together after we sat there for about 40-50 minutes and our alcoholic drinks never came. Eventually we had to go to the bar to remind our waiter about those drinks and he apologized. Our waiter seemed like the only one there cuz not only was he seating everyone and taking orders, he was also behind the bar making the drinks himself even tho there wa

This is a late post. Had my husband?s birthday celebration there on the day we had that tornado and the dome collapsed. Luckily, we had left 30 minutes before it happened. We like the place and food was fine. I was going to book my daughter?s little event today with her friends and they were all excited but to find out that it is closed. Why are they closed on Mondays and Tuesdays and yet, this is summer? We need more indoor places to go to. Please be open. :)

Went in to watch NFL playoffs w about 15 ppl at the Tap In restaurant. Great food! Excellent bartender (Paul). But the place was dead. Had to ask to get the game on, not just on the TVs but the bar audio, too. Advertised as "sports bar," but no one seemed to know the channels the games were on. Some tvs were showing ads to come watch the games there, but the games seemed to be an afterthought. Parking was limited due to construction still going on, and we drove around the place looking for the restaurant b

Brand new place beautiful and well-priced good drinks amazing service

No updates about the surf wave pool! PHASE 2 COMING SOON: WAVE POOL. 4 years notice ! That is what they talk about. But probably is just a scam.

Absolutely amazing, golfing was great with plenty other activities to do in the facility.

We had tons of fun. Prices are good, food was delicious at the restaurant. Just didn't like the balsamic drizzle on my margarita pizza. All the staff was very helpful and pleasant. They need to improve at the register at the entrance. Issues printing receipts, the line will back up pretty quickly when it gets busy if they don't fix that. Put small printers at each register for the little receipts. They need tip jars for the staff too. I appreciated the big bosses asking us if everything was ok, which it was

I finally decided to take a chance and bring my In-Laws to this new location and they were not disappointed one bit. The servers were doing their best with the amount of guests coming in, all of them had smiles. The food coming out of the kitchen was very good. My father-in-law had the nachos and I had the brisket tacos, which I found out were the days special and my mother-in-law had the margarita pizza which she loved especially with the balsamic drizzle. We met Chef Sasha who my mother-in-law loved, he

Was not at thrilled about the facility over all. As big as the dome is. It's tiny inside, my son had no interest in any of the activities offered. Not a fun spot. Rather drive past and go to six flags

Love the top tracer range staff is always friendly. Big Tommy always giving good service. Had to update the review since they took the early bird special away. Now it's wayyyy overpriced golf. Better off just paying for an 18 and having real golf

Before providing this feedback publicly, I went to your website looking for a link/option to provide feedback or send an email but was unable to find anything. I visited your facility today with my three children for the first time. I must say we were very disappointed. The aesthetics are top notch but the customer service does not match it. We started with the Top Tracer experience at bay 106, waited 1/2 hour before our server came to even acknowledge we were there. Also waited 40 minutes for just appetize

Great facility, excellent service and the food is amazing! this is my go-to spot when it is sub 30s outside.

Stopped by today. Food was good, service was good and staff was extremely pleasant. Lots of fun with Top Golf, games for racing, hatchet throwing and even a virtual roller coaster. While I have concerns with traffic, I have to say this will allow families and kids to have an option other than walking malls, or watching movies. The entire complex seems pretty cool with fields, hotel and even luxury apartments. The vision for this is awesome and only set back is traffic. The state/ county should deal with th

So much fun at adventure Crossing we really enjoy ourselves. Special shout out to Ling best waitress ever. Entire staff is pleasant and always makes for a good time.

I went here tonight with my family to celebrate my father?s birthday. We had a swing suite and we threw axes afterwards. We also ordered food. My rating is based on the quality of the experience for the price. The swing suite was a cool experience, but definitely pales in comparison to real golfing. There were times that the ball was hit and the swing was good, but the system didn't register it and the player needed to swing again. This was frustrating given the time limit we had to use the swing suite. Th

This place has really good food, and it's reasonably priced. The atmosphere is good. They just need to advertise more or something because the bar is usually dead, and it's a shame. It could be a great local spot.

Booked a 2 hour bay for the toptracer for a party of 6 of us. Checking in went smooth and that was about it, from there things all went down hill. When we got to our bay we saw there was no lefty clubs we asked one of the workers if we could have a set for one of our party members that took about a half hour for them to find. When we place our food and drink orders the drinks took close to a half hour to show up and the food took close to a hour. Food was okay not great but not bad either. When the food run

I can't speak to food or other amenities as I haven't utilized them. But as far as the baseball complex, it is top notch and the kids love playing here. Obviously this is a new complex and I can't wait for all the pieces to fall in place. This was a massive undertaking. I want to thank the owner / Developer for doing such a great job so far.

Had a family get together for a birthday yesterday. Reserved 2 bays for 2 hours each. 10 adults 6 kids. Started with appetizers at each bay. Played an hour then ordered food. Waitress Janelle was wonderful and food was outstanding. When 2 hours were up we emptied out of the bays and the kids did 3 runs each on the racecars. Was expensive but so worth it. Both adults and kids had a blast. Kids cannot wait to go back. Patrick and Xavier were the two young men who were helping the kids on the cars. W

Not worth time or money. Way overpriced for a small venue with little to do. Went in with family and friends for lunch. Didn't know where to go or if we had to be seated and no one bothered to stop and ask if we needed any help. One employee in passing said hey guys and that was all. Stood by the register for almost 10 minutes ignored. Would not recommend to anyone and won't be returning.

Ling is the best! Great service and treats you like family!

There were some new place hiccups. Food was good. When the night started off wrong our waitress Angie went above and beyond to make the night out with kids and friends so great. Management did what they could do to rectify. The problem was the system seemed off and lack of clubs. My only recommendation is if you are a lefty or have lefty children you need to bring your own clubs? There's not enough. But again can't say enough about Angie, the Lady who was the food/bar manager, and the gentleman who was th

We were in yesterday and Ling was our waitress and it was a blast!

Charge admission and not allowed to bring in my food not good. Playing fields were very nice

Title: Thrilling Adventures Await at Adventure Crossing USA! Rating: ????? Adventure Crossing USA in Jackson, New Jersey is an absolute gem for thrill-seekers and families alike! From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by the incredible experiences and the warm, friendly atmosphere. The park offers a diverse range of activities that cater to all ages and interests. The thrilling roller coasters left us breathless with excitement, while the water rides provided a refreshing break on hot summer days

This place was stupendous!!! Great for family and friends and really entertaining. Ling was such a good server and we appreciate the hospitality.

Went there for my birthday with my wife and it looked very deceptive because I was of the impression it was one giant plaza with many attractions and fast food places but it's actually one big place with the attractions inside. The prices are pretty great compared to other places. Bar and food pricing isnt as bad compared to other places, although im not much of a bar hopper so dont mind my comment. Only had chicken fingers and a twisted tea but it was really good. We did the racing sim and axe throwing and

Top Tracer Golf is a step above a typical driving range, but a big step below Top Golf. Pros: 1. It was below freezing outside, but the temperature inside the bubble was very comfortable. 2. The bays were clean. 3. The nacho appetizer was well executed (there were toppings on each individual chip just like TGI Friday's makes). 4. The boneless buffalo chicken were very good. Not too spicy. 5. The beer was cold. 6. They were playing good music 7. The waitress and supporting food staff were all extremely po

I came here for a company event and it was nice. We started inside the arcade and VR section. We were provided drinks and apps. I was able to play several rounds of pool, air hockey, and hatchet throwing before playing the VR games. The VR games were neat but not very accurate (I played soccer or dodgeball). In the arcade area, it was comfortably temperature controlled. I didn't spend much time in the driving range area. Inside the bubble driving range it was pretty hot and humid. I would expect this throu

We went over the past weekend with 4 people for an evening of fun to check out the new place in town and must say its pretty cool! We went in and walked around first to check the place out and decide what to do, Axe Throwing it is! Done Ax throwing before but this was really cool with private food and drinks area with great service, the instructor was friendly and helpful and they use projection screens on the ax boards to have different games to play, different than normal targets not being able to change

Was here for a high school softball tournament. Paid to get in and discriminated against twice. Athletes allowed to bring their own food and drinks, but not family/fans. Also, because the turf fields are owned/run by nj ruthless, they weren't charging admission for anyone from nj ruthless, just everyone else. Distance from pitchers rubber to home plate was short by 2 feet on at least 2 fields and the teams that played those games had to contest the no regulation distance for high school sports. The snack ba

Everything is broken and service was not it I hope they were just having a bad day which is understandable

The best place to go in the area if you want to golf indoors. The food at the driving range was a 10/10. There's plenty of entertainment at the dome whether it's axe throwing, flight/racing simulators, VR, swing suites, and much more as the project gets developed.

This location was closed, but the managing director John was very inviting and allowed us to hit balls for awhile and try out their facilities. John and his staff were very accommodating and a pleasure. A great place for people of all ages and skill levels. Will return soon.

Was going to stop until we saw a Trump banner on their display sign. Disgusting. Left and will never go back.

Many of these reviews here read like salty local people just not liking the fact that the business and project is there, or some that expected a Top Golf ???? I don't think the town allowed the full outdoor Top Golf. As we have seen with other NJ projects, this will evolve as time go by. Check the site, as with many of these independent projects popping up local people should check it out for themselves.

Had a really horrible experience at my first visit. Not sure I'll go back. Bartender didn't put our order in and then when we asked about it 20 mins later finally put it in and didn't say anything. When it finally came back it was wrong and we had to send it back. When we asked about it the bartender got defensive and made it seem like we were at fault. Poor customer service.

Amazing place in the area to have a blast for all our golfers and gamers and foodies! we have great food amazing golf range , Xr and vr games the suites! Can't wait to see how everything else goes when everything?s completely finished! Suggest to everyone!!! Stop by and have some fun!!!!

Lot of fun! Great for young employment and growing the city.. sadly locals complain about any development because they hate change and progress. There are definitely pros and cons. But got to grow usa! This is where high school kids can get jobs, hang out with friends instead of playing video games in the basement and smoking weed.

Very cool place. Went fir softball training

From the bar & grill only. Enjoyed food & service was good, nice staff. It wasn't busy so hard to tell on the atmosphere. Music could have been more lively at times.

Lots of fun and activity a friend took me here to do a little golfing but there's a lot of activities inside fun place to be what a way to go Jackson New Jersey

Great place! Clean and new! Nice staff!! They are so friendly, caring easygoing and understanding. I encourage everyone to go there. It is amazing for all ages!!!

Awesome food, awesome bartender (sorry, I forgot his name), awesome service, and awesome cook (Sasha). Def recommend coming here. Great atmosphere.

Just went after the soft opening. If you want to go, be sure to make reservations for all activities in advance. The service was great and food was good.

Great location, friendly staff, and good service.

This is the last thing Jackson needed. It's been forced upon us, and now we're stuck with it. The so-called ?future of Jackson? does not look too bright. Jackson does not need or want to be transformed into a city. Yet it is happening. Between Six Flags, the Jackson Outlets, and this, the town is becoming one big tourist attraction. The Disneyland of New Jersey. All three of these attractions are confined to one road, less than 1.5 miles from each other. The traffic is already horrendous in the summer, just

Great quiet chilled fun place

Great fajita selection of food. Staff was nice and games were fun

No one asked for this area to be overdeveloped with giant warehouses and a massive influx of truck and car traffic in an already insufferable area to travel. It is so disappointing that the Jackson board did not consider the countless negative effects of this project on the local community's environment, infrastructure, and safety

It sounds pretty cool but it's a pretty big project that is going to bring lots of ppl to an area that already has Great Adventure as well as shopping outlets. These 2 things alone bring in a good amount of ppl especially in the summer. You add this place there and I would not attempt to go anywhere near that area! Ugh

Great fun, delicious burgers. Would like to say the manager Chris was very accommodating. Went out of his way to take take of us.

There is no dome! I just tried going golfing and the dome is gone. Wildness

The whole idea of this sounds pretty cool but it's not a smart decision. I live in this town and this area of 537 already has a traffic issue. It was irresponsible to do more building without addressing the traffic issues.

Very friendly and helpful staff and the virtual golf was a blast

Never been here, however I live in Dutchess county, could you consider opening up here, 2 possible locations....the old fishkill mall or the old south hills mall,you would do well, especiall we need it here with the indoor golf

I have walked the premises, observed some baseball and softball tournaments, talked with some staff and felt some DYNAMIC ENERGY during my experience at Adventure Crossing USA. This place is the sports and entertainment DISNEY WORLD of the Northeast! I would recommend all athletes, former athletes and family's of athletes from all across America to experience the energy at Adventure Crossing USA

Frequently Asked Questions

What’s it like visiting an arcade today?

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.

Is it better to go alone or with friends?

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.

What should I bring to an arcade?

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.

What’s the best time to visit an arcade?

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.

Can I meet new people at arcades?

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.

Are arcades still just for kids?

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.

Are there events or tournaments I can join?

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.

What if I’m not great at arcade games?

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.”

Are virtual reality games in arcades worth playing?

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.
