Hijinx (Arcade, Games and Bowling) completely blew us away! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with smiles, positive energy, and an atmosphere that practically screams FUN. Whether you're a kid, a teen, or just a big kid at heart, Hijinx has something for everyone. The arcade is packed with exciting, well-maintained games, and the bowling lanes are top-notch ? clean, modern, and super affordable. It's rare to find a place that offers this much entertainment at such great prices. We spent hours p
We had our daughters? party here today. Easily the best party my kids have had and our party coordinator, Collin, really seemed to enjoy his job. In the middle of the party, we found out that Jonesboro was under a tornado warning. We had 19 kids and their parents all stuck (plus there were other parties going on). The staff did such a great job of keeping everyone calm and getting us to safe areas to wait. They kept us safe and got us back to partying as soon as possible. I really don't know if they could h
It is always a good time here. Great place for family, date night, parties, or a casual friend get together. They also have bowling league and practices here! Laser tag, a gym for kids to run engergy off and good food! Great staff everytime we been
Enjoyed bowling & arcade games with friends at Hijinx Jonesboro. Plenty of parking, and the playground area was impressively nice and clean. We enjoyed playing bowling and arcade games.
Really nice facility. Really nice and multiple bathrooms! We were here for state bowling tournament. We'd love to come visit another time if we are in the area.
We took a group of students as an end of the year trip. We had a blast! The facility is full of fun options and the staff were awesome! HiJinx gave us a good deal on the group price. Each student has 3 hours of unlimited play, 3 slices of pizza, french fries, and a drink for less than $30.
Kids had fun, but the first card I tried to use to purchase a card only had $24 dollars and some change and I was trying to purchase a 25 dollar card. Well it took all the money I had off that card and I called about it the next day. They told me I would have to make a 120 mile trip just to maybe get a refund. They couldn't even say I would be refunded. And they don't do refunds on anything older than 24 hours. I cannot recommend this spot because of that
This is an awesome facility, but the staff is horrible. Especially the young man that was in the Laser tag room. We signed up with no one in there and he would let us play until a big group came in. I figured we could have made it in before the other group went in? apparently not, we asked if we could go with just our family and he wouldn't do it. He said we'd have to wait. We waited 30 min for the big group that came in after us to sign in? then another 16 min for them to play only to be told we had to pla
Staff was extremely friendly & helpful. Laser tag was the reason we came to ABB's Family Day & it will be the reason we return. The chicken nuggets were so good.
This was our 1st visit but definitely not our last! We had so much fun.we got the family package for $85 for 5 people..it included 30 minutes of game play on certain games,with no ticket points.i have teens so they didn't care about the tickets this time and there was plenty of games to go around.2 ATTRACTIONS,we did laser tag and bowling and that kept us busy for hours..it was an hour drive from Memphis but I can't wait for the next visit.
Outstanding place to take the kids and have a little fun. Food and drink prices are of course ridiculous like every other amusement/entertainment center but hey, that's to be expected lol. Bathrooms are clean and taken care of lanes are buffed and well maintained, games are on point, staff seems extremely friendly and overall prices for what it is aren't bad. Bought a kids bowl free with family pass for 45 bucks, can't beat that. 2 games of bowling a day for free "shoe's aren't included" gives us something
Many broken machines. Ticket payout is inconsistent. No one managing the prize purchasing area. No visible customer service. Broken machines taking card payments.
I went here last night with a friend first time I've been here in years. They have a 32 Lane Bowling Alley Which was the only area we went to. There were several teenagers up there that just appeared to be hanging out like the skating rink used to be that place, when I was growing up. I did see a security guard on site who checked the Boys / Men's bathroom with a staff member just after I arrived. Maybe they were concerned about some of the teenagers up there ? 1 hour of open bowling was $34 before 10:00 p.
Lots of fun for the whole family! A lot of arcade games was down and laser tag room definitely needs some a/c super hot in there but still a lot of fun ? very clean restrooms and friendly staff. Bowling lanes are very nice and spacious. The rock wall was definitely a hit with our son!
Great place we had so much fun and the staff really go out of their way to interact and make sure guests are having a great time.
Great place to come in out of the heat or cold! My girls loved the high ropes course and the huge FOUR STORY playplace. They spent a lot of time in the ball room which has fun machines to shoot soft balls out of guns and ones that explode them out all over!
I really like this family space! I go here with my friend for bowling tournaments but also used the restaurant services which has great food! There is also a nice video gaming area for children. Lovely space
We had a fantastic time last night celebrating my granddaughters 7th birthday party. Everyone was so helpful and kind. We look forward to bowling this summer.
I used to take my daughter and her friends a lot then we went yesterday they had changed the whole thing all the kids wanted to do to play arcade games spent$75 for the kids to play for 2 hours but they didn't inform us that all the points that you rack up that you will not get anything for it so another words I spent all that money and the kids didn't get no toys no candy no nothing I will never take any of my kids back there again. Can't believe they changed it that bad and also the cards I got you can on
This is the best family establishment in NEA! Mrs. Stacey, Kelly, and Shea are all amazing and genuinely care about people! Highly recommend! ??
Always so much fun and we have made some wonderful memories as a family here... If your looking for something fun to do on the weekend this is for you and your family...
We took the grandkids there and there was something for all ages. I have a granddaughter that is legally blind and she had a blast in the contain-play area, especially the one with the balls. It couldn't have worked out any better for her. She was able to be active and play on her terms. Stacey has gone above and beyond to make sure all kids, small and big, have fun. The bigger kiddos was either in Lasertron or climbing the Rock wall. I didn't get as many pics this time because of my crazy phone, but
My family and I just love this place. We have visited several times this year. Whether it's a quick date night or a big family get-together, this place has the ability to entertain!!! Tons of games, different activities, and wonderful employees to help you around every corner! Oh... and the food, you have to eat ALL THE FOODS!
Talk about stealing customer?s money! We had a family night bowling color pins. Wd had two minutes left as I was rolling my ball (a strike) before time ran out. As my ball made a strike, it said it didn't count cause time ran out. There's NO WAY time ran out as my ball knocked down all the pins! I saw the timer, and I had two minutes left. But instead, two minutes was quicker than the ball smh!!!! Plus, it didn't let us finish our game, UNLESS we pay for more time. That's BS!!!!!! You should lease allow pay
I love the summer bowling program for the kids! I wish I knew about this sooner. My youngest is signed up for this summer and I added the family package so we can all attend and play together. He loves it!
Great family fun with friendly staff!
Our group of four people were doing glow bowling. There were some high school kids two lanes next to us. They were throwing the ball down the lane (it was hitting in middle of the lane), we told the staff behind the counter which they did NOTHING! They don't offer military discount, which is a shame. Tells me they don't give a damn about Veterans. Prices were kind of high. We had fun though
It was very fun! The staff weren't super helpful and seemed to not like answering questions. But there was so much to do that it made up for the staff. I recommend it!
We just had our daughters birthday party and it did not go very smoothly however my daughter still have a blast. The five stars are for the OUTSTANDING customer service we received the following day to make any issues resolved and better. The management team as well as the owner reached out to me and corrected everything and more. We will be booking our parties with Hijinx in the future.
My kids and Ioved it. There is literally something to do for everyone
We've been going here the past few weekends to bowl. Our kids, 13 and 8 absolutely love it. And we love having a family night together. We'll definitely keep coming back
Complete ripoff got the family package and none of the points count unless you just pay cash for a card the time keeps counting even after the game is over just a complete waste of money for the kids of all the gaming places we've been for our kids this was hands down the worst. DO NOT TAKE YOUR KIDS
Always a fun experience. It was nice to see the staff and other customers following pandemic guidelines. Our work crew had an excellent time! Definitely recommend atleast 4 games of laser tag & try out the different versions of play.
Paid for a party of ten all was going well til a manger by the name of Karen of course it had to be a Karen to ruin the day talking bout needing to pay for more kids that wasn't even playing but to prevent her from making it it was paid idk what the issue was but she was a complete fool that came into our party and ruined it and this is a manger the other young workers was shocked they was like we are so sorry they was amazing but this lady should be working there . There's no sense in arguing with someone
Love this place. The kiddos favorite place to go and have fun. Great family fun for everyone! The prices are excellent as well. Wednesday night is half price night on games, and we like to rack up those tickets. We won 3 jack pots tonight and walked out with some very cool prizes! Great customer service with friendly smiles. Thank you for always making our adventure fun at Hijinx!
Great place, great games, and great food. I just have one complaint. The manager at the lil cafe inside was really rude to me after I asked a few questions about refills and condiments. I don't know her name, but she ruined my night. I've been feeling down lately. I have chronic depression and you need to teach a couple of your workers better customer service skills. I would understand if I was rude, but I asked simple honest questions. I've only ever been kind and respectful. The one time I was impatient I
I used to really enjoy family time here as did my grandchildren however after spending a ton of money I was very let down by how they run things now. Won't be back!EVER!
Updated June 2024-- There is more fun than ever packed into this place! Great job, HijinX! Thank you for being a one-stop fun shop! *** Updated November 2022-- for $25 at the door, we got two games of bowling, at least one game of laser tag, and several games in the arcade. Not a bad price at ALL! So many things to do, the facility is clean (and cleaned regularly), the people are helpful, and the prices are reasonable-ish ??
Had a time limit card and couldn't get the tickets I won, ok but listen why put time limit cards on ticket based game and not on the ones that aren't
Great family fun! Bowling, pizza, arcade games, climbing wall and more!! Our family had a great birthday party for an 18 yr old, guests ranged in age from 5 to 84; a good time was had by all!
My friend had her daughter's birthday party here. The kids had a blast! The party room was clean, the employee wore gloves each time she plated pizza for the kiddos which is AWESOME in my opinion. The other play/gaming areas were clean also with plenty of room for kids to run, jump and bowl. Also a good place for adults to have fun too. Looking forward to my next visit.
Let me just tell you that I was impressed. Our kids wanted to go there after prom and decided to go all dressed up just for fun. Everyone was so sweet from the time we walked in the door. We drove over an hour and because it was so far and so late, my husband and I went with. The staff was super accommodating of us ?chaperones? and they really went the extra mile to make the night special for the kids. I was impressed at how clean everything was. No stains on the carpet and the food area was really clean to
This place stays busy loved spending time with family but snack line takes to long. Needed more people to take orders. Was in line for 35 minutes just for a drink. Other than that fun for family
We spent over $400 on unlimited play, attractions and food for my granddaughter's birthday. Found out several games weren't included, and several were out of order. And then you have a $25 "cake fee" for our own cake because we didn't book a party there?? Seriously. That's nothing but a bigger money grab than it already is there. Just stop.
Some of the games were broken. Hockey game was missing a puck, the pixel alien shooting game was messed up and wouldn't let you take control.
We had an awesome Friday Night, we were J.I.T. for Holidays? Cheer! Staff was amazing, they even had cheaters rails for beginners in Bowling Alley. Great Atmosphere of people, even police patrolled the Center, we felt safe, secure & last but not least Food Was delicious! Thanks to the coolest greeter, and the greatest Referee Luke! We didn't mind driving from Crittenden Co area to come to the greatest entertainment for Family at Hijinx! We'll be back soon! Happy Holidays 2022!
Hijinx is a great place for adults and children alike. There is a large variety of arcade games, all tailored to different interests so that there is something for everyone. I haven't personally done the sky walk, bowling, or laser tag, but I've heard great things about them from other patrons. The prices are a little high for me, especially for the food and refreshments, but there are weekly specials that are great if you take advantage of them. For example, a $20 Hijinx play card will get you $40 wort
So much fun! Great workers, great place for kids of all ages.
I like that it has multiple things to do. There is something for all age groups to do. But I dont like how expensive everything is. Also it seems a bit crowded. So when they are busy you dont have any room to move.
Took the family back tonight, still a great family atmosphere with lots to do. From bowling, to pool, wall climbing, obstacle coarse, and many games for kids and adults alike.
Too expensive. You better go to the arm before u come here. Fun and exciting but pricey.
It is a ton of fun for people of all ages. Our kids had a blast. Be mindful that you can rack up a hefty bill if you want the whole works though. There is a huge arcade, bowling, lazer tag, massive playground, zip line obstacle course, and a rock wall (was shut down when we were there).
Took my family there this past weekend, we had a blast. Our 3 & 1 year old loved the ball pit area! Our 6 & 8 year old really enjoyed the obstacle course. We didn't make it to the foam or laser tag and we were there for 6+ hours! Lots to do, and we still have attractions and play time left. Fun activities for the whole family and fairly priced. We will be back!
It Was An Excellent Place For My Young Toddlers To Enjoy They Self With A Suctioned Balls, Floating Balls, Equipments To Shoot Air Balls, A Jungle Gym With Big Slides, Arcades Games For Older Kids, A Bowling Alley, It's Jus A Nice Fun Place To Take The Whole Family Including Teenagers U Can Also Purchase Food I'm From St. Louis And Visited My Brother Here In Arkansas And This Is Where He Took His Nephew And Neices And They Has A Blast I Would Recommend This To Family's In Arkansas Are Travelers Who A
Games are great. Prices are in line. When you're ready to pick something out at the prize area? You're going to save up a lot of tickets because they're just isn't anything worthwhile in there. I've been at least once a month this year so far and I still have tickets from when I visited 3 years ago.
Outstanding hospitality. Over and beyond accommodating for groups and families. Loved it.
I absolutely luv this place. My kids especially they enjoyed themselves.????
A super fun place to bring the family. The staff was very helpful even when it got busy. The kids had a blast in the arcade, laser tag, and foam playground. Can't wait to go back for the other things!
Please be careful what music is played in the area meant for small children. Bad Girlfriend by Theory of a Deadman is very plainly about a stripper and highly inappropriate to be played around kids.
Probaby the funnest place iv been to in Arkansas. I highly recommend it. They have bowling, laser cade, arcade, virtual reality, foam factory and more.
Came here to bowl with a friend as we were passing through on our way to Memphis. We had an amazing time. Very clean place and great lanes. Overall had a wonderful time playing a couple of games to pass the time.
Very nice well maintained lanes. Great staff. Great league bowling
Great place for family with kids. A little pricey but if you have the money it's definitely worth the time. They have a huge arcade, laser tag, jungle-Jim/play area, rope ladder climb, rock wall, and bowling. So many options and even prizes for the games. They serve food and host birthdays.
There are tons of options here for things you can do included a ton of arcade games, bowling, laser tag, the rock wall, and the ropes course. Also, the food here is classic bowling alley food but the best kind! Also this is a nice place to have birthday parties; they offer different packages with lots of add-ins and choices. There is tons of parking and the employees are great.
Had a wonderful time, my 2 year old had a blast on her birthday.
We always have a fantastic time with the kids here. Our birthday host Cassie was super helpful and laser tag is a MUST!
Great place to take the family or just the kids? and it's fun for the whole age range. Multiple activities, from bowling and laser tag to the rope course or foam tower, and tons of various video games keep everyone entertained for hours. The food is average, but pretty typical of a place that isn't a dedicated restaurant and serves pub food and pizza. On the whole, it's pretty well priced (around $25/person for a family of 5 pack, which includes 2 activities & 30 minutes of video games each along with a lar
My grandson had a blast there today celebrating his 5th birthday
This place was the first of a very fun experience. I bowled for the first time with my aunt and eldest son. It had quite a few places to visit and have a good time at. I was not able to experience laser tag but my children and aunt enjoyed themselves. I would definitely recommend and visit again!
It was a blast. First time there. Everything is reasonably affordable. My daughter had a wonderful time.
This is an excellent place to take your family. I moved here from up north and I've actually never seen a facility quite as nice. The bowling is great, they really take care to maintain the lanes and balls very well. This facility also has a climbing course, a really large arcade, and more. I find the prices to be pretty affordable. I looked at birthday party packages and they are pretty reasonable and include quite a lot. Seriously, I will say a family could spend an entire day here are easily. Highly reco
Great place to have fun i really love it there
We visit frequently. The kids love the soft play and ball pit. I do wish they found something to switch it up every once in a while. Laser tag is phenomenal. They do a good job. We are weekly guests and we love the deals.
Took my son here when I visited Jonesboro the laser tag and vr was fun we didn't try it but they have a sky trail and ropes course that looked challenging and fun
We decided to go bowling and play games with my children and my parents. Everyone had a great time. There were lots of teenagers there, but they weren't too rowdy and it was a fun time for everyone. I can see us all going again in the future.
My family had a blast here! The rock climbing wall is harder than it looks! The pizza and bowling was great!
This is a wonderful family friendly place to let loose and have fun. All the things a family could ask for at fair prices.
Went to the arcade and 4 of the machines weren't putting points onto our card (you don't notice how many points you have until you go to the prizes) I spent $150 and ended up with only 650 points I went to tell a worker and all that he said was "okay" he never got us our points or refunded us
We had a wonderful time as a family bowling!! It was a great day!
My family and I bought 3 of the 2-hour arcade passes for $60. Once we started playing, we quickly realized there were a limited number of games available for our passes, and some were out of order. I wish the cashier would?ve told us we only needed 1 pass for the 3 of us, which she knew because she asked us if we only wanted one, and when we said 3 she acted surprised. Hindsight is 20/20 and if you're a family just playing arcade games, go for ONE 1-hour pass because that's all that's worth it.
Very active entertainment location. It has something for all ages from 3 to 103. We have a toddler and a teenager and both were so thrilled to play there that they didn't want to leave. Our three year old had a blast in the soft play area, she ran her older sister half to death trying to keep up with her. There was ample seating for us older folks that needed a break and more games than you could play in a day. Our teen and I went for the lazer tag. It was so much fun! I haven't enjoyed myself so much since
We had the best family day! My one year old and 8 year old loved every activity! Trey (employee) was the absolute best! He played with the kids and they had such a great time.
Traveling through from the river back to Memphis and stopped in with the kids. Really great place. We had a ton of play time on just $75 for 3 kids (and two adults who like to play games). Everyone working there was genuinely helpful and kind, didn't seem bothered to be at work at 2pm on a Monday like most younger people these days. Lazer tag was great, ropes were fun. Great time.
Birthday party for GreatGrandbabiy! Enjoyed the activities provided! The absolutely best oatmeal cookies I have ever had !!
The kids had so much fun! Definitely will be returning again!!
This was a fun place. It is expensive to do everything. Buying the packages likely the best deal instead of piece meal. Pizza was really good. Kind of surprisingly good. Staff that I interacted with seem friendly and polite.
Me and my family love coming here when we can! They have so much stuff to do here now compared to when I was a kid and it's amazing! We love the arcade, laser tag, the kids area, all of it is perfect
We were visiting from out of state and decided to stop in for a little fun on a rainy day. My daughter was screaming with joy the whole time! The area with the balls that you shoot and the slides is an absolute blast and highly recommend it to anyone with kids. The staff is extremely friendly and the facilities are very clean.
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, pool tables in arcades remain a fantastic draw in 2025! Games like 8-ball or 9-ball offer tactile, skill-based fun that blends strategy and precision. Modern tables feature smooth felt, responsive cues, and vibrant designs, enhancing the classic experience. Arcades foster a social vibe with casual matches or competitive tournaments, appealing to all skill levels. Unlike digital games, pool’s physicality—lining up shots, feeling the cue’s weight—keeps it timeless.
Arcade prize games are a thrilling highlight in 2025! Claw machines, skee-ball, and ticket-redemption games like basketball offer a rush of skill and chance, with rewards like plushies, toys, or electronics up for grabs. Modern machines feature vibrant lights, digital scoreboards, and responsive controls, amplifying the fun. The lively arcade atmosphere, with cheering crowds and buzzing energy, makes every win feel epic.
