Champs Entertainment Complex

The last affordable option for us working families with small extracurricular budgets. We spent Allllll day rollerblading, laser tagging and gaming for what I would spend to walk in somewhere else. Very clean and friendly staff. Reasonable snack bar and party room options. We are very greatful for Champs and will be back!

My family of 5, 2 adults and 3 kids, played glow in the dark mini golf for $25. We came on a Saturday afternoon. Business was steady, but not packed. The establishment is clean and well staffed. The arcade games tended to either take your tokens and not let you play or let you play and not give you your tokens. I brought this to a staff member's attention and they did compensate by replacing our tokens. Overall, a fun place to hang out.

Had a great time with my kids for their friend's Birthday. Lockers have antiquated locking mechanism and were clearly transplants from old facility on Palumbo, as were mannnny other things- but these old locks took $3 in quarters to release my locker key that I was then only able to use once before having to pay to release it once again. Bright side is, staff refunded the money the locker took, no questions asked- on 3 different trips to the desk. Speaks to a certain frequency in that occurrence, aye? That

I wouldn't recommend skating here unless you're with your family/friends. The music isn't skater friendly, it's just family friendly. Any active skater that's looking for an enjoyable experience skating, I recommend going to one of the several skating rinks in Cincinnati, Robins roost in Louisville, or FunCenter in Danville. These people do not enjoy having good skaters, and they've banned/kicked out multiple people including myself without any explanation or reasoning.

Went to Champ?s today with my daughter and was not disappointed. I'm embarrassed it has been so long since I've been to this absolute gem of a family fun place! The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. They offered helpful tips and were very patient with my three year old on her first trip to a skating rink. The pizza from the concession area was great! Usually you just put up with whatever food is at a place because well you have to, but this was genuinely good and I'd absolutely get it again. My

Nice place to visit and to take children. Cost for a Friday night was 20$ per person which included skating, lazer tag, golf and all those are unlimited use. They have a game arcade as well. We really enjoyed visiting here and will be back.

Size 8 is biggest Rollerblade they have to rent. I hate roller skates, because you can't lean back, and I grew up roller blading, so I am not going to try it at age 38, and I'm the only bread winner in the family. They should tell you at the front door, their maximum sizes for ALL skate and blade rentals. Now I can't enjoy the afternoon with my kids after paying for everyone else. Horrible experience!!!!!

Everything was good except for the guy running the laser tag. He was lazy and didn't want to do his job. There was no order at all on who could go when.

This was such a good experience. Expensive, but worth it if you stay for hours for all the activities. They had laser tag, miniature golf, go carts (though they were very slow), a ride, virtual reality, and group games. Not much in the way of arcade games, as it's mostly for tickets and prizes. The children's play area was outstanding, but a little hard to keep track of your kids because adults can't go in unless it's an emergency. Fortunately though there is an attendant who doesn't let anyone out without

My friends and I had so much fun here. My one complaint is the roller skates; They were pretty yucky, as if all of them had food spilled on them. And my wheel kept getting stuck. The staff are decently friendly and there are plenty of arcade games.

This place is great! Clean, welcoming, organized, attractive, fun, good food... We celebrated a birthday and have no regrets about choosing Champs!

Experience was great, I feel like pricing especially for skating was high. Half and half on friendliness of workers.

Kids had fun skating laser tag music clean good place for kids

The Tuesday skate night is a really fun way to meet up with friends during the week. I love how well maintained the rink is. I am always a little shocked that they still have a dress code sign though.

Just a warning for anyone who is considering Champs Entertainment for ANYTHING, they have gone down hill bad! We took my daughter there last year for her birthday, they allowed us to bring in a cake and presents even have a video of it. And not in a party room. This year I called to make sure that was still ok and they told me yes. We get there today and they say we can't have cake or presents even with showing them the video. (Even though they put the cake in their fridge!) Aside from that more than half t

What a joke. We spent over $100 and was not told our kids had to wait 30 minutes to skate. Now they are all aggravated they cannot skate. The lady said the arcade is open. We came for the kids to skate not play in the overpriced arcade. So we wait. Now the kids are begging for a drink. I gave them my card and said go get whatever yall want. They return quickly. They said the lady said they will not be selling anything for 20 more minutes. What a absolute poor excuse for a entertainment place for kids. This

We had so much fun at Champs. I haven't been to Champs in a long time so I was extremely impressed with the new facility. Champs has so much to offer: skating, laser tag, put put golf, and arcade games. We went on a Saturday afternoon and played several rounds of laser tag, then we played put put golf, then played arcade games. The prices are very fair. The facility is extremely clean. The staff is helpful! Thanks! Will be back!

Visiting Kentucky on vacation, and went with a group of nine to Champs. There were some glaring issues, but also some praise! Starting with the ridiculous high price for the All You Can Play. It was $30.08 including skate rental (very surprising that skate rentals weren't included in the price!) and I paid with $40 cash. The cashier forgot my change then gave me $9.25, which was the incorrect change. She then gave me $9.90 which, while only 2 cents off the $9.92 change that was actually needed, still wasn?

The place itself is really nice. I only saw the skate area and the arcade, but I'm sure the golf and laser tag are nice too. Restaurant wasn't open so I can't judge that. Concessions seemed clean and they have alot to choose from including full pizzas. Prices aren't bad either. Only reason I can't do 5 stars is because of the staff. Apparently kids that work there also skate when not on duty, they do wear the champs shirts though. 2 in particular were all about theirselves dancing and swerving in and

Loved getting to see my kids enjoy something I loved at their age. Staff was nice and helpful. Facilities were clean and well managed

On vacay from Oklahoma and my grandsons had to have their mini golf and laser tag fix!!! They had a blast!

Fun for the kids and adults alike. Skating surface was a little rough and skates on the gross side, but nothing you wouldn't expect from any skating rink. Overall, good assortment of activities, and decent pricing.

Laser tag is amazing and only $5 per game or $20 per day. They have roller skating, golf and a good assortment of arcades for any fun night out or kids party.

What an amazing place with friendly staff. Came in town from Chicago for a speed skate competition. They went above and beyond to try to accommodate the craziness of a race along with open public skate. They did amazing hosting over 400 people. Bathrooms stayed clean. Trash was always cleared as well. Thank you so much champs for your hospitality!!

We just celebrated my daughters 8th birthday here today and had an amazing time! They made sure everything was taken care of and went smoothly. Carson was an awesome party host who took all the stress off of me so I could just enjoy making memories with my daughter! Definitely would recommend if you are looking for a fun party space. Thank you for making today so enjoyable!

Fun place for kids and adults. A little-known gem is Late Skate every other Friday night. Wish they would advertise it a bit more!

This was our 3rd experience having a birthday party at champs. This time was not nearly as well done as the last 2. I think the website should explicitly tell you when you book your party the full duration of the skate time allotted and that should your party guests not be ready for cake immediately after pizza that you cannot eat the cake outside the party room. At least the kids had a good time.

Great time during spring break 2023. Very reasonably priced to skate. The video games can get pricey quick.

Employees are to be expected, all teenagers that couldn't care less. Horrible customer service. Everything is time restricted, such as a four hour session for activities. Yet the employees and services move very slow. Champs does not value your time. Instead it seems that they intent to waste your time, maybe in hopes that you will be back to spend more money just to experience everything.

Good time fun with family easy going atmosphere.

Didn't get to see much more than the skating rink, but it was nice. Everything was clean, and snacks were fixed pretty quickly. My only negative was the set of benches they had directly off the side of the rink, didn't seem to safe. Saw the kids almost busy their faces on the corner while trying to skate on the carpet area.

Fun for adults and kids. Staff was friendly

Was spoken to very rudely today. The man at the ticket window did not explain anything to us about having to wait to skate. My kids are restless. They want to skate. They want a drink. Cannot buy a drink. The guy renting skates was rude also. My kid asked for a 7 and it was to big tried to swap for a 6 he said i had to go pay for another i cannot swap. I said dude you handed them to her 2 min ago and they are to big. May i please swap them or do i meed a manager. He swapped them. The kids went to skate and

My son loves going there, he always has a blast playing with his school friends, there's a lot to do there for everyone. If haven't been there, don't knock it out until you try it

I can't believe I was about to book a birthday party here! They should really update the pricing policy. There's a minimum of 8 kids required?fine. What upsets me is that if there are attendees that have their own skates, or will not be skating, they are still required to be a paid guest in order to go in the party room. What exactly am I paying for? Plates & Napkins??? That's all that I get aside from skate rentals. You're required to buy their food, so I'm already having to purchase a certain amount of f

Mini Golf Course is terrible seriously. laser tag out dated there vests were so heavy kids didn't want to stay. plus 90 degrees upstairs. I feel like they need to close the upstairs. However the skating area is awesome so 1?? for upstairs 4 ??s downstairs

Its a nice facility but teens running the skate floor at times ignore actions of their friends and enable bullying. We brought my daughter and some church friends. No issues with anyone but one particular kids kept knocking into them. Eventually he essentially fell over or tackled two of them and they had some fairly serious injuries and bruising. The floor "ref" or whatever he was did nothing and it had to be escalated. The laser tag was great and the kids running it and the golf were fantastic. The r

Their laser tag is incredibly fun with a large well-sized arena to play in. The mini golf is simple but still very enjoyable to play with others. Additionally, the roller skating and arcade games are always fun pastimes. My only complaint is that some foods/drinks on their menu can be expensive, though the availability of food and drinks there is convenient. Champs Entertainment Center is overall a fun and amazing place for hosting parties or to just hang out with a group, and they can offer an enjoyable ti

Each of the employees at Champs I have talked with is extraordinarily friendly. I have been bringing my nephews in there to go roller skating, and the employees there are very friendly and make sure we know what upcoming events are happening. I really appreciate the helpful and caring attitude the employees have when helping the kids during Saturday skate lessons. This place is also more affordable than the other places I have taken my nephews to for entertainment. Highly recommend.

What's the point of having mini golf if your group can't keep score? I asked for the little paper scorecard and was told by the high school employee that you did it on an app. You had to scan a qr code on a sandwich board. Dumb, but ok. When attempting to scan the qr code or download the app, it only works on iPhones, not android. I went back to the high school student and told her that the app doesn't work does she have any paper scorecards at all? She replied no, with a shrug. Doesn't keeping paper sco

Place is ridiculously expensive! You pay like $15 per person, just to get inside to skate, & that doesn't even cover skate rentals. I mean it wouldn't be too bad if you didn't also have to pay an extra $2.50 for skates! You get a few hours to skate, but only if you make sure you're there at the right time. To take all of my kids costs $87.50. 5 ppl, almost $100, JUST to skate. It'd be cheaper to drive to London, pay to get them into the skating rink there & then drive all the way back to Lexington. If you'r

This is a great place to bring your kids or just yourself. I brought my 7year old son a few times now and we love playing laser tag and put put golf. I'm 37 and still loving the laser tag. Great prices and food. The staff are very friendly and helpful!

If your family or child goes to Champs. Me and a few of my friends decided to take our children tonight to meet another friend and her child there because they go almost every weekend, four children four adults. I paid for us to get in which was the $96 to skate only. (Brant didn't skate so 4 adults . Three kids) We skated for almost an hour and then decided to take the babies to play laser tag and mini golf, where they paid $174 for us all to get it. The bands they bought included UNLIMITED laser tag, mini

Great family fun for my 8 year old granddaughter's birthday ??party

Took my 4 year old daughter here today for her first time skating and we had a blast. Admission was reasonable enough and we brought our own skates so I can't comment on the rentals. The staff seemed very much on top of things which is appreciated. The few times my daughter fell they turned the lights on and a staff member was there immediately to ensure she wasn't run over by the other skaters while I helped her up. I've been to several other rinks where this never happened. Thanks Champs! We can't

Overall another amazing experience only gave 4 stars because when we got our hotdogs both the buns had mold all over them but the manager lady was very apologetic and gave us basically a full refund for the day by giving us a gift card good for 3 people to have the unlimited bracelets for our next visit! She was awesome and the kids had a great time!!!

Pros: nice and spacious, clean, private party rooms, friendly staff. Cons: price, time constraints (55 minutes for party room use) more adult then child friendly (no saftey walkers for children just learning to skate), half the arcade games are down and broken. Word of advice, pay for minimum package to reserve your party, here or anywhere else. They will not refund you for guests who don't show. If you're looking for a roller skate party for a child under the age of 16 I would recommend some place else l

We came here to celebrate my daughter's birthday. My daughter is a teenager and we only had a few friends so I chose not to bother looking into booking a party. I had bought some cupcakes, not thinking that it would be a big deal, but was denied at the door. They stated I would have to rent a room for $50 an hour to bring them in. I had one parent that wasn't coming till several hours later so this wouldn't have even worked for me. Just to eat cupcakes?? So I asked what all the room came with and they s

I purchased 9 tickets for $20 each for two adults and 7 kids. I did not receive a notice stating hats are NOT permitted if if you plan to skate. We arrived and I purchased from the window 9 skate rentals that isn't included in the $20 band and NOTHING was said to me. We walked in and waited in line for skates and I'm talking to the employee for all the kids and pick up skates and again NOTHING was said to me about wearing a hat and roller skating. I get to the floor with three kids who has never skated a

My 2 boys (5 and 14) and I went to play indoor mini golf. The course was really fun. Then decided to do laser tag. It was alot of fun and lasted a long time. Lots of hiding spots. The employees were very nice. We didnt realize that on Tuesdays it is a reduced rate. $3.50 each for both mini golf and laser tag. Super cheap and made some great memories.

Went here for the first time a couple of weeks ago with one of my friends, and had a blast! You're able to choose package deals with really low prices, which all include UNLIMITED pizza and fountain drinks at no extra charge (included in price). With roller skating, laser tag, mini golf, and fun arcade games, it is definitely a place to bring your family or have a birthday party!

Went to the "sip and skate" event, for the 21 and older crowd, and it was a blast! They served select alcoholic beverages, and provided a mostly old school flavor of music! The hours were from 1030pm-130am, which provided a very no-nonsense, diverse crowd! Workers were unbelievably friendly and the DJ takes requests! Nice snack bar too! Only one word of caution...if you pay, you stay...no leaving the building to smoke or anything else, otherwise you have to pay the full amount to get back in, which kinda s

I have been to Champs numerous times over the years, and have always had a fantastic experience. My children love to go to Champs for friends' parties, and frequently when there is no particular occasion - they just want to have fun! The facilities are clean and inviting, the staff is always helpful and courteous, and the atmosphere is safe and fun. Champs offers many ways to have fun, more than any other facility that is available in our region. I highly recommend Champs to anyone who is young or young

Always fun at the rink! Great laser tag too

I had an amazing time! The employees were so nice and helpful and the arcade had loads of fun games to! Lazer tag was my favorite part it was so cool with the fog that made it seem more mysterious and immersive this is definitely a 5 star place! Also great food and music!

Champs! What a great place to skate and play! My children and grandchildren have loved this place for years! This was my daughters first job, and it taught her great work ethic and she learned some important values in life. This place has a variety of entertaining things to enjoy, and is like no other place in Lexington. It is also a safe environment to take your children to have some good clean fun. You don't have to worry about nonsense as long as you are respectful and courteous. Recommend this place to

Our first time at Champs was Saturday was not there 10 minutes and my accident prone teenager fell and hurt her wrist, every body was super nice and helped her up and kept trying to teach her how to skate. We were unsuccessful to say the least! We did fracture a wrist but all 7 teens had a good time and most said they would go back!! Very family friendly!! I would recommend skate walkers for kids that don't know how to skate it would maybe cause less injuries.

The mini golf was ok , could have been harder but I liked the design, some of the machines in the arcade either took out credits and didn't work or were broken all together, I didn't try the laser tag but maybe next time if I decide to give them another try.

Champs was awesome for my daughters birthday! The owners and staff were very helpful and remained attentive to our needs while we were there! The food was good and the kids enjoyed the games! Highly recommend!

My child has been going to Champs for the past 13yrs. In fact all but a few parties have been hosted at champs. The service that the employees have shown to my parties have be excellent. I feel safe knowing my child is protected by rules and stern policies that are in place. In todays world, knowing that your child is safe and having fun with there peers is priceless!

I went up to champs for my girlfriend's birthday, and we went roller skating, there were an excessive amount of people there and way too many kids out on the floor, so in other words they lacked management on the overall amount of people there. Nonetheless; my girlfriend's sister was knocked down by someone who wasn't paying attention and she fell and fractured her wrist. We then took her to the ER and had it looked at (keep in mind that we'd only been inside Champs 30 minutes and left to take her to the ER

The mini-golf and lasertag are awesome. It's a far cry from something like Laserquest (if that's even still a thing) but it was still enjoyable.

I drove an hour and a half just to buy skates from them and the owners and the managers are the only ones who can sell skates. The owners were on vacation and the manager had stopped in on her day off to take care of something and even though she wasn't supposed to be there she took almost an hour of her own time trying to help fit me for skates as I'd never bought a pair and didn't know what size I needed. She even had her son straighten the wheels and make sure they would be ready when I put them on. She

I took my youth group here two Friday nights ago and they had a blast! My reasoning behind the 5-star review is that the staff were incredibly helpful and uplifting for one of my youth who fell over while wearing their skates. They went above and beyond tending to my youth, asking if they needed anything and offering encouragement while they were in pain.

I have taken my kids to champs every year for birthday parties, skating, laser tag etc. I have always had a great experience there. the customer service is excellent, food is good , and the atmosphere is awesome. I grew up with Champs in my younger years growing up in Louisville Kentucky Manslick Road so i know Champs very well Go there and you will have an excellent experience Todd Fox Lexington Kentucky

I've been going to Champs for almost 10 years now and have had the best experience, including being the place where I purchased my roller skates. Personally I prefer skating over laser tag or arcade games, but I still love everything at Champs. Depending on which day you go, the prices can be a little expensive, but are definitely worth it. Champs has become a part of my weekly life and I could not ask for a better experience.

Me and my 2 kids go on fridays or saturdays regularly for about 3 yrs and we love it. The staff is great an helpful, the food is very good and not expensive and the options to do make this a one of a kind entertainment center. Champs is top notch in fun.

A long time family favorite place!! My husband and I have loved champs skating ring since we were young kids... Now our kiddos love it almost as much, they even put their phones away the whole time!!

Went on a Sunday. Staff was rude. Management hovered over my group during laser tag. They played kiddy music during skating. The COTTON CANDY was fresh & yummy. But it took 45 min for 3 dry/freezer burned chicken strips. Booooo. spent $150 for complete disappointment. What a waste. Do better Lexington

love coming here to roller skate! they have great weekday deals, especially on weds/thurs from 5-6 pm, a pitcher of Pepsi product and large cheese pizza-can't beat that! they just got a brand new arcade which is cool, and the laser tag was completely renewed within last 6 months. fun for any age!

Upstairs bathrooms were nasty. Asked the teenage employees to clean them and they did not. The golf area was unsupervised so their was a party of little boys running rampid and using clubs as bats and hitting the balls everywhere. Downstairs was cleaner and slightly more organized. Only half of the children in our party received wristbands and the girl was getting more but never returned. So when my children wanted to skate with the other kids, it was going to cost me 7.50 per child. The other kids were

Its a great place for tbe kids to play. Laser tag is fun for everyone. I only rate it a 3 because the staff is on the you get side and that is ok but they are not friendly nor helpful. The smallest question gets an eye roll.

First time here half the arcade games were shut off and half of the ones that were on didn't even work we had to keep getting refunds for the games, it took me almost 30 min after paying just to find somone who could get me the skates I rented, I have long hair that was just shoved under a hat well apparently its an unposted rule no hats on the skate floor for safety that's fine and all but I wore a hat in nobody said nothing until after I was with my group skating when the employees stopped me and said no

Wife and kid love this place! Laser tag in 20 minute rounds?... ...yes, please. Yes you're gonna tear up a $100 bill, but that's is for 4 people, and I actually feel like we got $200 worth of fun. I came up when champs was on palumbo, but this will be our general fall back place. "You bored, family?" "Yes," "Let's go to Champ's!" "You're awesome, Dad." That will be a phrase used from now on. Food is good and inexpensive. Kids running it seem to have fun and the laser tag guy was excited we we're back (I

I am an adult who enjoys laser tag and mini golf, which are both fun here. There is also an arcade and roller rink if you are interested. The pizza they serve is middle of the road, not bad, but if you want good pizza pop over to Smashing Tomato by the mall.

I tried scheduling a party for more than 8 people for my daughter online for 7/14/17 and was unable to. I know nothing about Champs policies and how things operate. I had 12 8yo kids showing up at 7:00 and when I arrived with a cake and gifts at the door I was told by the incredibly friendly ticket saleswoman that I would have to speak with the manager because party rooms must be booked to bring in gifts. I waited for the manager and explained that I had difficulty with the website and had called earlier in

This is the only place in Lexington with a Roller Rink. But it's not just that. The Laser Tag and the Mini Golf also make it that much more fun. It's not expensive and it's a great place to meet people or new friends. Sadly COVID is making it hard to go in on week days but the weekends are still open and ready for you and your family or just you.

Been open for YEARS! I remember coming here as a kiddo and now my daughter gets to enjoy it. However, it's not the same as it used to be!

Great place for a fun day with the kids

When I was a kid going roller skating the staff was always doing stuff like the limbo, little events with the kids/skater's. I've now took my kids 3 different times and I've never seen anything like that done here. It's basically just skate circles till you're tired.

Skating, laser tag, putt putt, and video games to choose from. Laser tag is lots of fun! A few of the games were out of order, for the few games they have, that's disappointing. Place is rented out by day for parties and I heard they are doing a new year's Eve promotion. Decent fun for older kids.

Fun but rude staff members. The person I encountered at the cash register of the food stand, was rude. I ordered a personal pizza and a drink. I had extra change which was all coins, and when i turned to talk to my friend, I heard a clink behind me. I turned around quick enough to see her put my change in the tip jar. How rude and greedy. I expect management to retrain this employee about manners and greedy ness. Will not go back for a while. Maybe never again.

$7 pitchers of Budlight and a surprisingly good laser tag experience. Don't let some of the grumpy downstairs employees ruin your good time. There is still fun to be had at champs.

This was my first time coming here and it was amazing they have tiny carts for beginners in roller skating and yeah its so fun they have Lazer tag and golf and much more.

Horrible customer service last night. Half of the things on the menu were not available. No kitchen staff. Finally waited over 20 minutes at counter for a pretzel, 2 soft drinks and a latte. Register worker ignored questions about where our food was, and when I asked to see a manager, the pretzel magically appeared. It had been sitting on a counter the whole time. Never did get the latte. We just left. It was no longer worth dealing with soul-sucking energy. Never will come here again. Filthy place. Stay aw

First time there and very disappointed hardly any of the arcade games work, food was not good and about the only good think we found to be fun was the skating area and not even that .. stuff stayed on the skating floor having fun themselves and hardly available for any assistance!!

It's a fun spot for the kids, the place is a little dated but still a good time. We took advantage of the putput course and the arcade.

A very enjoyable experience! Champs is awesome. I come here all the time with my dad to rollerblade, play Lazer-Tag, Arcade Games, and Mini-Golf, they are the best place in lexington as far as indoor activitys. The pizza here is great, and the staff is very nice; very accommodating. I appreciate all of their rules. This makes me very confident in the staff and managers, Champs has great service all-around. The pricing is reasonable, and overall, this place is a absolute BLAST! I don't plan on stopping to c
