Whar a great place!! So much fun! We went axe throwing for my sons birthdayz Teenagers off their phones for a couple hours!!! ???? They had a blast! The bouncy house was a hit too! Great friendly helpful staff. Super clean! Nice partyrooms too for younger kids parties. They have an axe throwing league too!! We will be back!!
There are minimal places to go around us where all 3 of my kiddos can have fun (ages 1,5 and 8) this is definitely one of those places! Thank you!
My 6 yr old grandson loves this place. There is a lot to do and the owners are great. The place is always clean and we have never experienced bad behavior with adults or children.
The price is extremely reasonable for a good hour or two of play. Arcade games are fun and the availability of prizes at the counter and in the crane machines are well worth what you pay to play the games. It is very clean, bright and has good air flow (seriously, these places have potential to really have stale, smelly feet air, but not here). Bathrooms are spacious and clean and the owners are wonderful! We recently rented out the movie space for a family gathering and it was a true delight. We were
Great staff! We had our daughters 4th birthday party here. When looking over the list of themes we did not initially see the top choice for her request. I asked the staff if they could acquire it and within a few days they were able to get all the requested decorations. They did a fantastic job overall. No real complaints other than a couple games were out of order but that's understandable. The top party package was affordable, the staff/owners were courteous, kind and accommodating. My daughter had a blas
Went there for a grandchild s birthday.The children had fun with games,bounce houses ,ect .They had a separate room for the party itself.The room is nothing fancy but at least no worries of dirty floors to clean at home,??
Definintely a great place to have a 10 year olds birthday party. Arcade, bouncy house, bumper cars and a space to have food. Staff are very friendly and the kids had a blast! Highly recommend.
The owner is super nice, great with children, always has new games, and bounce houses to keep it interesting. It's reasonably priced as well, even the arcade games. There were axe throwing games. I didn't see this last time until o was about to leave. I'll definitely be taking the kids there again soon to check those out for myself. Overall, great family environment fun for everyone.
Rutland is so lucky to have this place! There aren't many other things for kids to do in the area. Thank you for providing families a safe place for kids to have fun!
I LOVED fortress of fun. Fortness of fun is really cheap. They had bumper cars, a bouncy house, and a arcade. It wasn't busy at all. This is a perfect place for a birthday party.
Our go to spot for some entertainment and just a quick drive away. We spend hours in there. Arcades, bouncy houses, castle of fun for the younger ones. Love this place
First time there for me and my daughter. She had a blast in the bouncy houses and all the games. The staff and owners? I believe we're EXTREMELY friendly and helpful. This place is a gem. Enjoy them while the holiday hours are still going.
Best place to bring your kids! Always very safe, clean and not too many people. We go here all the time and the employees and owners are fantastic and always so kind! We love it here and highly recommend it to EVERYONE <3
What a great place to bring the whole family for some fun and bouncing around. I've had about 3-4 Birthday parties there for my son and he & his friend's had a blast.
A great place for little kids to run off some steam. We have had fun there for sure. Although sometimes we have had bigger kids running up the slide in the bouncy house while my son was already going down like it'll feel like there's not enough supervision from either staff or the parents themselves. And we once had a really unfortunate time where my son really wanted a train set that was one of the prizes. I didn't have enough tickets and would?ve gladly bought the train set outright but when I asked what
We held our son's seventh birthday there. Parents they do EVERYTHING. The owner met me at the door and took the cake from me to store until party time. They decorated above and beyond my expectations. All party guests received tokens and played for a bit before heading over for cake. Plates, silverware, spoons, and juice boxes were provided. All kids had a super fun time. Definitely the way to go. Parents if you're unsure about this, do it as it's such a convenient option and totally worth it.
I cannot rave about this place enough! Great for kids of all ages and sizes. I was there for two hours and felt like I was there for 5 minutes. The owner is so kind and personable and nice to talk to. Makes you want to go every single weekend. Entrance fee is so reasonably priced. Adults are FREE! And kids younger than (I believe 7) are only $5. And then I think 8-13 is $7. Than 14+ is free. Arcade games are also reasonably priced. The prizes are also an extremely fair ticket amount. They have a two bouncy
This is a great place to take your toddler/ younger kids in this area. Helleven I have a blast playing the arcade games and just watching the enjoyment on my sons face. Much needed entertainment for this state that lacks such. Staff over the top friendly and great, I don't get that one review that said wasn't fully set up and Basically was negative. This place is inexpensive and fun for your any toddler/ younger kid period.
We had my grandson Jackson first birthday today at this location it was awesome the decorations were beautiful they did a Disney theme Cars omg very clean and the staff very nice ,very awesome and very sweet we want to say thank you to you guys for making this happen. From my grandson and the entire Sargent family the Novak's and the Osmer family we want to say thank you . We had a wonderful time .?? everyone please come check this place out you are going to love it .
Can I give more than han five stars? We have gone to this place before but we held our son's third birthday party there today. They were extremely welcoming, helpful and prompt. They were pleasant from start to finish to deal with and ensures all of our guests got a turn on the bumper cars. Gave us plates when we ran out and have a cake cutter there for us to use. We definitely will return for regular business and parties in the future. 15 out of 5 stars!
This place is amazing. It has a nice and clean play area for the much smaller crowd. It has the bounce houses of course and black light mini golf. All under one roof! How great is that?! Michelle and her staff are wonderful to do business with and be around overall. They also do parties and are affordable. Best part as a parent: they do all the clean up and your kids leave happy and tired. NOTE the address is incorrect - they moved to Granger St.
Firstly the people running it are awesome and super friendly. It's got a great arcade and their keeping it old school with actual tokens instead of those credit cards. And the games are affordable. It's great lil spot to bring the kids.
This place is so much fun to bring the kids to. Nostalgic games like Simpson's coin roll and skee ball, fun for the whole family. The ticket prizes are amazing! Their birthday party plans are realistically affordable, tons of space for larger or smaller parties. I didn't have to worry about anything but the cake and presents for our 2 year olds party!
A great place to take the kids. My son had his birthday party here. I didn't have to worry about anything! The staff took the presents and did the set up. The kids had a blast!
What a wonderful place to take your kids. I took a year old baby and a 9 and 12 year old. The people that work there was super friendly and the guy with the beard wish I knew his name. What a great host.
Fortress of Fun is a newer spot in rutland. They have axe throwing, arcade, bounce houses, and more. Won their 3000 ticket jackpot, games not rigged. Staff were friendly.
They had so much for little kids to play on. Few bounce houses and a jungle gym. Very tidy bathrooms also. The staff are great with kids and patiently help them pick prizes out.
Not yet fully up and running. Limited arcade games, mainly just coin eating luck games. 2 inflatable bounce houses with slides. Tiny ball pot for the wee ones and a slightly larger play area for toddlers. All in all price wasn't bad but without drinks and snacks, we weren't able to stay very long.
Have gone twice now with my grandbabies, it really is a decent place to go, we had fun both times and the owners are very nice and are happy to return coins if the machine had an issue, there are bumper cars which is pretty cool.... I would have given 5 stars if there were food to be bought, there is nothing there in the way of drinks or food besides candy that can be won in machines or bought with tickets, even if they were to just do pizza and hot dogs that would be awesome because both times we left hung
Had a birthday party for our 2 year old daughter. Lots to keep the little ones occupied. Staff is amazing and pricing is fantastic. 1000% recommend them
Great place for the entire family. Very reasonably priced and don't have to pay for adults. Definitely a fun spot to check out
Awesome place to bring your kids. Perfectly located between Rutland and West Rutland. Great place for birthday parties. We go there often. Staff is friendly, helpful and personable too.
The fortress caught me sleeping! Such a awesome place right under my nose. Something to do for the whole family AND it's the new home of THE MAPLE ANGUS. Talk about a win win! Mortgage your house, buy a tank of gas and get fown here!!!!
Awesome place for the whole family. The owners are extremely kind and friendly! Love bringing my son on the weekends!
I've been here a few times. It's run by the nicest family. So nice to have a safe place to bring my child.
Amazing fun for the kids and keeps them busy, until.tired and ready for food and bed... very friendly and little arcade fun as well :)
Very kid orientated great place to take your kids for a birthday party or just a family fun day Lots of games for the kids to play they've got bumper cars they've got jungle gyms they've got bouncy houses

Great fun place for kids, and parents too if u like arcade games.
Spent the afternoon here, absolutely worth it! Best customer service, games, and much more!!! We will be back!!!
Fun, clean, friendly staff. The kids had a blast at the soft opening. Can't wait to see what it's like when they're fully open!
My 8 and 4 year old absolutely LOVE this place!! They dont ever get bored and all the games r so fun, and they seem to get new games and new things all the time!!
Great time with our kids! Definitely would like to see them expand their space maybe a few more bouncy houses.

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.”
