Customer Reviews

This place is a perfect alternative to Stars & Strikes or similar ?arcade focused? locations. Their climbing wall was perfect for my six year old and was right across from massage chairs. So I could easily keep my eye on them while getting a quick chair massage. Facilities were clean and well organized. Felt safe and not overly stimulating. Enough variety we easily spent most of the day there without breaking the bank. Disney level quality in my kid?s opinion.

From the phone conversation to planning my daughter?s 16th Birthday get together, to the time we left, staff was so welcoming, accommodating, and had great customer service. I did not want to plan an actual ?birthday party? I just wanted to pay for everyone to bowl and bring a cake and they allowed that. My whole family from age 2- 65 had a Great time!!, we will be back often from Calhoun.

Came to LakePoint station on Memorial Day 2025 and had a blast for a full day! Jam packed with well run and organized activities my son and his friend and us parents had a wonderful time doing mini golfing, laser tag, bowling, rock climbing on several courses, arcade games, and gem mining. Truly a day to remember and well worth the money spent. Located right next to a chick fil a, and Starbucks kids and parents can have a wonderful day. 5 solid stars for Lakepoint Station in Cartersville!

First time here. For a Saturday, it was not overly crowded! Had my son's birthday party here and it was GREAT. Booking was easy, many activities to choose from, AFFORDABLE, and had a bar/restaurant for us adults. The party room is a great size and our host was great. They have a timeline for your party and everything just flowed. The kids enjoyed themselves and the adults had fun at the bar. The drinks at the bar are very affordable and we're made to perfection. It was the perfect combo. Probably one of the

We were visiting here for gymnastics and were staying across the street. We walked over and did the putt-putt! So fun. Then came back later and my daughter and her friend did some arcade games. They had a blast! They played corn hole and connect 4 outback. After her meet, we came back with more friends and did the arcade. The girls loved it! We loved this place! Staff was nice and it was super clean. Will visit for sure if we come back :)

Took our grandsons here last night. Our 3 year old grandson had a ball! Loved all the arcade games and getting yogurt! Some of the games seemed like a rip-off because you'd swipe your card only to find out they didn't work. We still had a great time and will be back!

Always have a blast when we go here. Arcade, Putt Putt, Laser tag, Rock climbing, Pizza, Bowling and FroYo all in one place!! What else do you need? Such a great place and the staff is friendly as well!! Looking for the next place to have a birthday party or just to hangout and have fun? Well look no further... THIS IS THE SPOT!!!!

This place is so much fun for all ages, all can of arcade games, bowling, golfito, pool, ping pong, laser tag etc,etc,etc.

We had a great time as usual. I would like to give high praise to your manager Jordi! She is so kind, compassionate, and patient. She goes above and beyond with a smile on her face and multitasks like a ninja. I am so grateful she was our point of contact at your facility on a busy Saturday. I hope this review lets you and her know how much of a positive impact she has on the world around her.

Fun for children of all ages (even you Dads out there). My favorite was the Laser Tag. I recommend you make your own teams and slaughter all of the other kids in there. I will come here everytime I visit my family from now on. Nothing bad to say about this place.

Fun activities for friends and family. Great indoor rock climbing, putt putt, and laser tag. Always seems to be clean. Food and drinks on site are expensive but that's typical. Always check Groupon for deals on attractions!

The kids wanted to go while we were in town for a tournaments so my wife and I sucked it up and went. It turned out to be a good time for the family as the prices were much more reasonable than a lot of the chain arcades and the prizes were better as well. The kids really enjoyed the games. So much to do between arcade, bowling, putt putt, and us adults can grab drinks at the pizza place next door.

There is plenty of parking outside and two different lots, for a Sunday at 5 o'clock the place was absolutely packed. Inside they have a wonderful assortment of video games and a gigantic climbing wall, which is absolutely amazing. We attended a birthday party in the package deal allow the kids to do laser tag the rock climbing wall and receive 53 credits for the arcade. The kids demolished the arcade too quickly. The staff that does the prizes was not very friendly, and was my only criticism for the whole

The food and drinks are pretty good. While the adults get to hangout and chat, the kids can play in the arcade. There's also some outdoor activities. It's a nice family environment, but okay for a date night as well.

I took my grandson for his late Daddy's birthday. I always do something special for my grandson every year to celebrate my deceased son's birthday because I believe my son would have wanted his son to laugh and have fun on his birthday, not be sad or upset. For this year, December 2023, we chose to visit my son's grave and then celebrate, have cake, and pictures with Santa at LakePoint Station. My grandson had a great time. There were so many activities to enjoy for such a good price. I would definitely rec

Nice play for the family or team functions. Gaming, climbing, mini golf, and more! Pizza spot pretty good as well. Will definitely return!

My twins are 7, and they've loved this place for years! We even had their last birthday party there. The staff is so great at helping with everything!

We just had our Family Day event here and it was great. Everyone said it was the best Family Day our company has had. There is something for everyone to do and thanks to Michal and her crew it went flawlessly.

Been here twice now, and it's been fun each time. It's reasonably priced with a number of fun activities for the entire family to enjoy, including rock climbing, mini-golf, blacklight golf, bowling, and more. With indoor and outdoor attractions, it's perfect for any type of weather and provides a variety of fun experiences. I'd recommend for families with children of any age; there's something for everyone!

I purchased a Groupon and took my grandkids, and we had an amazing time. I would definitely do this again. The deal was for 4 people having access to 3 different adventures. We did pin bowling, laser tag, black room mini golf as well as the arcade games. I spent approximately $90 for 4 people, and it was worth every penny.

Had the most remarkable experience last year, my son had the most phenomenal, rememberable time. The kids were well entertained, our party planner was knowledgeable, the facilities were clean, the activities were organized and very up to date. Everyone had a blast. It was absolutely smooth and a fabulous experience. We are returning for yet another birthday party celebration this year and of course are coming back here.

Lakepoint Station has become a "day off let's get out of the house" destination for our family. Today we got to share the experience with a few old friends. Our kids had a blast. On this adventure we played indoor putt putt. At first I thought we would never get in but once we did the game moved fairly fast. The course is unique, not too challenging and well maintained. The arcade is always a blast. Our son actually hit 500 tickets on one game! The laser tag adventure was packed. It kinda made it not as

We had a great time at the 18 hole ? outdoor mini golf, I liked the history at each of the holes. Clubs were sanitized after too. The different walls to climb were great. safety video was mandatory. CS had sanitizer after each interaction. Customer service was really great all around the place, Landry stood out was our first point of contact for most questions and resolutions. I do have to agree with others that masks were not mandatory but hand sanitizer was always close by and masks were at the front des

First time we've ever been and we had a really good time. Bowling and FroYo was the best! The employees were nice and helpful. The facility was clean but smelled like a typical gym or kids event place which was to be expected. They have a huge restaurant that offers to deliver your food to your bowling lane. I love that you can do both indoor and outdoor activities as you choose. My only suggestion would be to offer more seating outdoor.

Update from original review. It has gotten worse. Sadly we love coming here but maybe 4 games work, at any given time. Get it together people!! My husband and 6 (now 8) year old son have been here multiple times, as have I and gotten a "non-expiring" card but didn't get credit for the massive amount of points that we had accumulated in the last few visits . I rarely waste time on bad reviews but this makes me pretty angry. Thank you pizza place for keeping this horrible arcade in business .

It was our 1st time here, everyone was very helpful and wearing masks. We had a great experience at the bowling alley for my daughters birthday. The food from the restaurant was delicious. So many fun activities for all ages. I will be definitely be bringing my young neices in the future, still need to check out the sweet bar time. All the staff were very courteous and professional.

Good luck at the restaurant. They got my order wrong twice! It was almost 2hrs from walking into the restaurant to getting the check. They posted a tip to my ticket saying ?due to large party, tip has been added? when there was 4 of us. We will not be eating there again! We spent more time in the restaurant than playing games. The place is managed by high school students and it shows.

Cool place. Lot of stuff to do and I felt like the price was fair for what you get to do. I would not say it's cheap but fair. My kids had a good time.

The garlic knots aren't as good as they say and the pizza with artichoke on it had no flavor. However it's a clean place we got fresh food and good service. Would go again to try other options. Would not reorder the previous items.

The wings were excellent. I don't have a single complaint. The waitress was attentive and patient. The fries were great. It was a great experience overall. I will definitely comeback. Ps. The Spicy garlic Parm wings were the best I've ever had.

There were lots of broken machines in the arcade. Which would have been good to know before we bought the game cards. All of the other experiences were in good working order and fun. Had a great time with the mini bowling (kids loved it). Laser tag is one of the best we have tried. Really big, multiple levels and rooms to accommodate large crowds (even though there were only 6 in the arena).

Always a fun time when we go to Lakepoint Station. The kids really enjoy the rock climbing walls and all of the fun games. They usually always have some type of deal depending on which day you go. I must go if you're looking for good fun, family time.

Grabbed a groupon and decided to check it out. Kids absolutely loved it. I expected the 3 attractions choice to only include one of the tons of climbing walls and 2 other choices. To our delight it includes about 30-45 minutes to climb to your hearts desire on ALL the walls. Pizza was very good and well priced also. went ahead and grabbed to more groupon's before they expired for future trips.

I've had my daughters birthday party here twice and we've had the best time here! Kids really get a chance to play nearly everything and the parents just guide the kiddos. We've truly enjoyed coming here.

I great place to celebrate wins at the nearby sports complex. Lots of games and things to do, you could spend hours there. The food in the restaurant isn't too bad either. Prices are reasonable.

We went the first time for a birthday party, and it's a fun spot. Some of the young workers could use more training for their customer service, but others surprisingly made up for it and were top-notch and patient. Despite how busy it was, the wait for things wasn't long, and that was a relief. The rock climbing area was extra cool!!

Lots of things to do! Restaurant, putt putt , climbing, games, bowling Great Groupon deal as well Only thing was that a lot of arcade games were defective but they manager gave us credit back when it happened. We had a good time!

Great fun place. People are super nice and helping. Jordan was the best at getting us hooked up.

Best $12 I've spent in a long time for 30 minutes in the Clip n Climb area. My daughter loved it!

We had a great time, recommend getting the pass for all attractions and plan on spending all day. Prices for food expensive as expected and the staff ,across the board, was very nice and helpful . Great way to spend time out with the family

COOL place to hang out and take the kids on a summer afternoon. It makes you feel like you are in a remote mountain spot. A little bit of everything including food, logging, and water activities nearby. Plenty of activities for the kids. Reasonable prices, although the playing time of the arcades is way too short...

Great place to take the kids! They had fun with all the climbing and laser tag. Clean restrooms is always a plus and the pizza served was delicious

Took my grandkids here for the first time and ordered the wings. The next day I started feeling bad flu like symptoms vomiting and fever, went to hospital found out it was food poisoning. I called my daughter to check on my grand kids she kept the out of school they had bad diarrhea and vomiting too

We had fun here for my husband's birthday 06/15! We are just big kids at heart. The staff was friendly and everything was very clean and sanitized! They also had sanitizing stations set up at every entrance and other places plus all staff were wearing masks. Some games were limited and/or off limits (kids couldn't write with chalk or play with Legos near the frozen yogurt for instance) due to COVID-19. The reason I gave it 4 stars is that the bowling is quite expensive given the type that it is (i.e. pins o

This place had a lot of attraction so I'll try to keep this short.(no promises) About the arcade... Firstly the place is clean and tidy except for some sticky surfaces. That can be attributed to the tiny ones, but the staff tried their best to keep up with the messes. Not many arcade games, but enough to keep you entertained. -The staff, although young, is extremely courteous and professional! They did everything to make my daughter safe and comfortable while climbing the wall! -Indoor "black lights" golf

Kids had fun. The kids enjoyed the climbing wall and laser tag. The employees are no help at all when needed. They didn't seem to want to work and were a bit rude. Gave 4 stars instead of 5 due to multiple attitudes from multiple employees.

There were so many things to do. The climbing walls were awesome, and so many to choose from. The prices were very reasonable. I used a Groupon for four people with 3 attractions each, $34! And children under age 5 are half price. It is fun for both children and adults! We will be visiting again soon!

Very fun place to go and it was a great time for me and my significant other to enjoy a lovely Sunday there and my favorite thing was the mini golf and bowling. 10/10 will come again

Gave it 3 stars because last few times I went half of the games were out of service. It's ridiculous how many games were not working. Whoever the manager is needs to do a better job.

My family and I had such a great time. There's plenty of activities to choose from. We enjoyed the bowling and arcade games.

Most unique Fun Zone I've seen in awhile. I never thought that adding a parkour and extreme rock climb to a game zone would be so right. But with that said the arcade this place includes is pretty lackluster. Don't get me wrong there are some games but it's not a place I'd go just for games. This place also employs a Lazer Maze that you can play on which is ok but just quick fun. Bow let's get into the main event which is the Mini Golf which is fun for a family. But the courses are nothing to get impressed

Even though we're adults, had a great time playing mini golf! Looked like it'd be fun for families though with VR and carnival style games, amongst others, several rock walls and bowling.

So much fun! There's something for everyone. Great place for friends and/or families.

The Clip and Climb was a BLAST. Laser tag super fun. Our weekly Fun Friday was amazing. I recommend you give it a try. Some areas are currently being renovated but it is great time. We'll be back at Lake point Station soon

The kids had a great time. I was surprised with their food. It was excellent. We will definitely be back.

Lakepoint is always a great place to take the family, host a birthday party or any other function for fun. We've been there several times and my kids are early teens and love all the activities they have and continue to expand on. This is definitely an economical place to have a birthday party for a kids and they work with you to build a package that fits your needs. They staff is great and the place is well kept and clean!

Good family fun at a fair price. I would have given it 5 stars but if it is your first visit it takes a few minuets to find where everything is located. Other than that good place. The Pizza place that is attached also had very good food.

Went to visit for the first time didn't expect it to have everything it had to offer my son had a blast doing the mirror maze, bowling, later maze, arcade, and the wall climbing! Since it was kind of raining that day we didn't try the miniature golf. But will be returning to do so.. They also have a nice outdoor seating area to hangout by the waterfall and ping pong tables.. So it is something I plan on doing next summer to hangout there after my son is done wakeboarding at terminus or vice versa!

DONT EVER COME HERE. I bring my kids all the time and never an issue. Today my kids were playing in the Gameroom. They had been wining several games adding up points. Then my twins won the 1000 at the centerped game and then they played 3 more games. And I thought ok I think their out of points so I checked and the card said yes out of points but tickets won 1257. My son goes wait mom how is that when just b4 the 1000 win each kid won 237 tickets each plus what happen to all the other games we played and w

Loved the atmosphere, the pizza was huge and pretty good! WItresd was great she needs a promotion! My son soooooo enjoyed this place! I was happy with the massage chair!

We took our boys here to eat dinner and play games after their ballgame. They had a blast and on Friday putt putt golf is free for anyone who wants to play. Also, the pizza and calzones were great. We will definitely be back and would recommend for family fun!

Great place for some fun. Games for all ages. Clean establishment. Safety parameters in order. The employees were kind and considerate. Place was packed, yet enough games for everyone.

Brought my 7 year old Grandson with his buddy for a day of fun. The place was clean and the arcade games were operational. The attractions (laser tag, golf, roller ball, etc.) were great the boys had a wonderful time. I want to personally thank all of the employees who made this possible. Everyone of them, in my opinion, went beyond to ensure everyone had a fantastic time. Not once did i get pushback from anyone. They were all so friendly and helpful. Your staff is your strong suit. The food at the restaura

Great place to eat and let the kids have a blast!

Outdoor mini golf and gem sifting. Indoor mini golf, florescent black-light lit. In that same area, inside the Mining "cave" rock, is laser-tag, mirror-maze, and my favourite, the beat the laser security system room, where you can do onenor two players. Arcade area is cool, and that is where the climbing walls are. Most attractions are self-serve, activated via card swipes. Obtain cards at front entrance, and load them. Arcade games and simulation rides also are activated via card swipes. Fun for all ages,

Very affordable and made for family fun!! Time of covid: very clean. We watched staff constantly walk around cleaning many games, tables, and hand rails. Hand sanitizer stations were well placed.

Very neat attraction with a ton of things to do and surprisingly affordable. Better deal than Lakepoint itself if you want to spend money on kids.

We went on 2 separate Friday nights and played a round of their 18-hole outdoor miniature golf course for free. The first Friday we went, most of the course was underwater, and they allowed us to play their indoor course for free in addition to what we could do outside. Their prices for activities are pretty affordable, from what I saw posted at their entrance.

Really cool place to take the kids. Pizza was decent, not my style; I did enjoy a beer while watching the kids play. Looking forward to our next visit.

A fun New Year Day, Bowling (watching bowl games) and Blacklight Mini Golf. Ending up w/ Froyo. Very Friendly and Courteous Staff. Great Time

My children had a blast at Lakepoint Station and so did I. The arcade and climbing station were so much fun. We can't wait to go back and try the mini golf and laser tag.

Really loved this place! It's clean and bright unlike the other bowling alley/ arcade near me & the outdoors mini golf area is so nice. We ate at the pizza place while there and the waitress was so sweet, the poor things babysitter flaked so she had her little one there and the staff were all helping take care of him. As a mother that has been there before, it was great to see a company that supports its staff like this! Huge kudos! We will definitely be coming here again!

The staff was ovwr the top fabulous . thanks Kaylee for great experience. Parents can come alone. We did.i suggest you do the same go to Angelo's Pizza get your Long Island pizza pie to the game room you know how serious fun.

This place is so much fun. My kids love it, but hey, I'm a kid at heart and love it too. And this message chairs!!! Great way to relax for a minute and watch the kids climb.

This place is awesome for children and adults. They have games, rock climbing with safety harnesses, party rooms, laser tag and more. So much fun in one place.

Had fun playing mini golf! Easy course but still a good time. We got rained out and the worker was kind enough to let us move inside and play on the black light course.

A fun place to go and the prices are good

I stopped here with my Adult Children and Grand daughter for a fun filled day while visiting from North Carolina. It was brutally hot outside but the indoor activities were nice and cool. Lots of fun stuff to do here. We played indoor golf, mini bowling and my grand daughter loved the climbing course!

This place was amazing. The staff, the food, the cleanliness, and the price. We bought 5 unlimited passes and I couldnt have been happier. They were so accomodating and so helpful, I'll be talking about this place long into the future and we WILL be back for the next birthday. Hell, maybe even my own! Thank you so much for the good time. Your staff deserves a raise!

My son recently had his birthday party here, the price was great for the amount of time we spent and the food and clean up included. The party room was first with BYO cake and their delicious pizza. The staff did a phenomenal job of keeping us on time in the party room, just giving suggestions on when others typically started eating, cutting cake, doing presents (if you chose to open them there), etc. After the party room, we were able to explore the different attractions we had previously planned on, with

Good amusement center to take the kids. The rock walls are fun, and there are plenty to try

Lakepoint station is awesome. Service and cleanliness were top notch. Would recommend going there. Food was also very good. French fries were best I've ever had!!

We have been here several times, but most recently for my son's birthday. Things are usually great fun for the kids. The last time we wanted to stay until close which was 9pm that day. We had decided to play games in the arcade for the last 45 minutes, but it was cut short when they turned all the games off 15 minutes before closing time. One employee said they didn't know why it did that, and then another said it was "to encourage families to cash out tickets before closing time". If this is a regular thin

Lakepoint is the place to be for fun arcades, laser tag, pizza, ice cream, & more. Kids friendly. It's hard to do much with a 1 - or 2 year old but manageable since there is an outside area with free yard games. It's about a minimum 20 dollar visit. Take 100 dollars and the family will play a good while.

Today was our very first visit with two 6 year olds. We had an absolute blast! Free golf Fridays was a huge plus for us as we were able to play on both the outdoor course and blacklight inside course. The clip and climb course is awesome for those fearless kiddos! Despite there being a large crowd, there were so many different options (arcade games, bowling, golf, laser tag, mini bowling) that we were never waiting on anything. The staff was extremely friendly as well and everything was really clean. We wil

First time visiting... Had 3 adults and 4 kiddos 10 and under... And this place did not disappoint... The staff was super friendly and very accommodating in all the questions that we asked.. will be going back there again and I highly recommend it...

Great center for such a large event. We attend twice a year for competition cheer and they always do a great job at set up

We had a party of 12 family get together. We had bowling lane 5 and our bowling balls got stuck 10 different times which eats your time up waiting for the guy to walk back there and reset the lane which is not good. We ordered 4 pizzas, wings and chicken dip with pita bread. The wings and dip were good but the pizza all 4 of them was not worth the money. The pepperoni was really greasy and the sauce has no taste. Would not recommend the pizza bland at best much improvement needed on the pizza guys. Nice est

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.”

Why are arcade prize games so exciting to play?

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.
