So, I had a party for my 4 year old and classmates and they loved the place. I know it is older there, but I really love not having a crowd and being able to let the kids run and play. ?????? This place is very comfortable and relaxing. I'm going to bring the kids back again on rainy days, hot days, or any day that is not suitable for playing outside. ??????
This place is fun but the water near the go karts and golf course is SO dirty. And I was told someone drowned in the water. The bridge is super shaky and I was scared the whole time crossing it. They really need to start caring about their business. But we had fun on the go karts and mini golfing.
Staff at counter stated the (4)cards we bought included everything for 3 hours. Came to find out EVERYTHING was only for outside activities like go-carts and not inside games and activities. Not happy as this was a birthday for my child. Carpet areas where we were at needed severe vacuuming and was disappointing. Little effort would go a way lot better considering how big this place is. Will not return or recommend as I came here myself 10yrs ago and was better ran. Going somewhere else from now on.
This place is great! If you like standing around & doing nothing for two hours. I went here on a school field trip (I'm a student) & we received a ton of misinformation about what would be open & available to all of us. We were all told we were too tall to go in the adventure crawl space, only two of the bumper cars worked, we couldn't get into laser tag despite paying for it, & nothing outside was open. I was told school staff asked weeks in advance if these things would be open, & they said they would. W
If I could give this place negative stars I would. The audacity to charge the prices they do is a shame. This place is run down, dirty, and 70% of the attractions don't work. Batting cage has multiple stalls only 2 worked and the person running it had to keep coming out to make the balls go in the machine. The miniature golf course is overgrown, has dirty water everywhere and a rundown course. The only thing good was the go carts. The staff was friendly and kept the carts running.
It's a really nice arcade. A lot of fun game options but primarily for younger kids. There are also snacks options inside and toys for purchase. Some of the games were not working though and restrooms were extremely dirty. We also visited the Amaze Light festival which is seasonal during winter times, and the arcade is part of it and located inside. Parking lot was kinda hard to find but if you ask the security around they can point you im the right direction. It is a dirt parking lot and you would need to
Place is decent, bathrooms are aight, go karts was absolutely fire, arcade games are good, the girl at the food counter couldn't speak past a loud mumble, laser tag was fine up until it was time to recharge, cuz the reloading station didn't work, fruit punch is watered down as hell, but overall it's a good 3.6 stars. Would come again
We went to play mini golf....I was so shocked by how Disgusting this area was. It was dirty, smelly, and with each hole believe it or not it got worse, it was so bad we decided after the 4th hole we wanted out and left I am cetain if test were ran they would find all kind of nastiness growing. This is very sad considering I remember how awesome this place used to be....Used to be! DON'T GO!
I wish I could upload the videos, but this place is disguting. Everything was filthy. I've never seen so much duct tape in one establishment in my life. Even in the jungle gym (esp on the slides). Outside area smh, just close it down for good. This place needs to be shut down and do a major renovation. Absolutely unsanitary, gross!
Very disappointed this season. It is July 6th and the outdoor area is looking run down. Only 1 half of the mini golf course is open and only 1 go kart track is open,and batting cages. When you pay $85 for 4 people for mini golf and go karts it's feels like a rip off. All the water features on the mini golf course are off. The hydro boat track is green and not in use. Never again will I go here or recommend it to friends and families. Also after the kids rode the karts at island raceway we noticed the karts
I didn't quite like this place at all. When we arrived about 15 mins after opening, the doors were locked. I should?ve just left. An employee came and opened the door. It wasn't clear where to purchase game cards and an employee couldn't explain the different options either. I got the game card and utilized the ball pit gym area. This area was filthy. The floor didn't look like it had been vacuumed. There was empty water and pop bottles located inside. There was chewed gum on the stairs to enter inside one
Odyssey Fun World, Is still a wonderful place. Time spent with family with some outdoor fun is always awesome. Go karts , bumper boats. Food is cooked fresh to order. Like any other outside venue, prices will be high . 4 stars - OFW could really use some upgrades around. Lol, I'm not telling what my kids said about their entrance street signs ??.
Guys I have absolutely no words for this place okay. It was my sons birthday he's special needs and has severe disabilities he wanted to do bumper cars and he couldn't figure it out and the employee stayed with him the entire time helping him as he found it hilarious running into me then he wanted to play laser tag but couldn't technically play because of the idea of it you know and guys I was with him letting my boy pretend it was him doing it suddenly someone is shooting and I saw what I've never played l
I had a horrible experience. My niece hosted a party for her son. She was told she had more guest than expected and was charged extra rates. She honestly did not have more than 12 kids. We have proof. They called the police to escort us out of the establishment and they followed us to the highway. I was highly embarrassed and insulted by the treatment we received. Please do not support the business. They are not for the PEOPLE.
A little outdated. In need of some repairs. The children's ball-pit smelled like urine. Frayed duck tape on the padded railing, and seating. The go-kart track had more pot holes then the side streets of Chicago after the winter season. (That was a rough ride).
This is a lowbrow bottom feeder establishment that I am perplexed at how it's still in business. I suppose they haven't invested in maintaining the games/equipment in years, so that helps when you also only have a few people working on a Saturday afternoon & the opportunities to win enough tickets to actually get any prizes are essentially zero. When we went to exit the climbing/tunnel area (which is very overpriced), the teenage kid maintaining the locked gate had left. After 5 minutes of standing aroun
$20 for all you can ride go-karts, miniature golf, laser tag, and other attractions is a good price. Going during the week like we did was a good idea if it is possible for your schedule because there were hardly any lines. However, you can tell the place has aged over the years. Everything from their signage to their walking paths has seen better days. It gave me a nostalgic kind of feel. The go carts are run down, and I'm not sure the last time they were actually cleaned. Laser tag was still in great cond
I just booked a double room for my daughter's 7th Birthday Party and everything was great! Pizza and service was great. My daughter had a blast and all 20 kids enjoyed it. Maybe parents was their first time and they loved it. Highly recommend this place for your kids parties!
Its time to update this place and the food was terrible. Hot dogs,pizza,pizza puff all left us disappointed. The fries were edible. They need new and more updated games and a face lift.
The playground area was filthy!!!! The balls black, dirt/debris underneath the ball pin and inside the playground! There an old balloon left inside from a previous day. We arrived when they opened. This area need to sanitized throughout. No was should this condition be acceptable for children to play in. Style arcade area was fine but the play area is unacceptable for any child!
I've been going here since I was a youngin and I can say my experiences here are amazing! So much has changed around the environment of the city but odyssey fun world has always stuck to its roots with things. My family came here for my sister's 18th birthday and we had a fabulous time. One thing's for sure you are never too old to have a great time ????
Super fun ! I made a TikTok of my experience
Extremely dirty. Games have duct tape holding them together and broke glass. I dont think this place has been cleaned in 10 yrs and I wouldn't be surprised if the games and rides were ever cleaned at all. For a place that is designed for kids number one priority should be cleanliness and it's obviously the last priority.
The staff here is rude & disrespectful. I asked the guy at the climb zone area if we leave the shoes in the bucket and if they keep it back there or do we put it on a bench? Ive never been here. He put the bucket on the desk and pushed it towards me. So I asked again and he just stuck his hands in his pockets. Half of the games don't work. The bathrooms are filthy. Downstairs it shows my son met the heoght requirement for bumper cars but once we went upstairs to the actual attraction, they wouldn't allow hi
For being the lonesome Odyssey Fun World now to my knowledge, I can tell you that this one in particular has it all. How many of you have been on a bumper car? Exactly! Many. How about a bumper boat? See? My points snapping the net! NFL Blitz & NBA SHOWTIME? How about the OG Mortal Kombat? Give this one a true shot and help it have the charm of the other to be the mothership of the Odyssey?s. Lastly, but mostly and was a standout for me and my family was customer service from Prae. At least for my visit, s
This is a nice family venue. Good for all day play at a hefty price tag. You get the most for your money by purchasing the wrist band. I took off two stars cause the place is unkept and needs updating. The cleaness is not horrible but noticeable. And the decro has been the same since that opened with no upgrades. However, my kids had a blast. The best features are the indoor coaster and Farris wheel. They also have the old school ball pit area for the younger kids, as well as games. My one year old had a go
Absolutely loved Amaze! Wonderful experience! Tubing, adult hot chocolate, food, arcade, Train ride, candy shop. That also had Santas workshop where you can write and send letters to santa which is located inside the arcade!
The facility itself was nicely decorated for the Holidays. They had a nice balloon drop set up for the New Years Festivities. The downfall of this place is that its understaffed and a bit out dated. I took my oldest daughter here when she was 9 (Now 22) and everything is still the same! The same laser game, same rides. The Bumper cars have 2 out of the 5 cars not working properly. They have you go forward slowly or just going around in circles. There is only one person working both rides upstairs so if you
This is a very fun place to visit. Especially regarding children. In addition I would highly recommend any individual to visit this place. Furthermore the customer service is terrific and wonderful.
Nice place to take the kids for part time. Good prices, ok food and lots of room. It's better in the Summer time
A lot of the rides were not working so it didn't really matter what package you got. But it's big and the kids had fun
Place is out dated. I remember going there as a kid and the same stuff is still in there I'm 41 years old. It's time for a remodel and add more and newer up to date games
Mohammad does some amazing photos. my grandson and I took a very nice pictures!
A complete disaster. I tend not to share my work on my personal page, but this travesty needs to be noted. Our aftercare group, ?Jr. Explorers,? was both looking forward to and scheduled to go to Odyssey Fun Farm (under Odyssey Fun World) for their pumpkin patch. My staff contacted them multiple times for the last two weeks to ascertain and confirm the arrangements, and was assured of the price point, time, number of participants that compromised a group, and all other pertinent logistical info. in antici
Everything looked like it needed a deep cleaning, but the kids had fun.
Had fun with my daughter's. First time here and so much things to do. I got them the wristbands and it was worth it especially since on Mondays they're $10 off.
Place ghetto as hell. Saw a domestic and someone get escorted by police on 2 different incidents all in like 30 min. Don't go here if you're trying to have a decent family time.
The audacity to charge the prices they do is insane. This place is run down, dirty, and majority of the attractions do not work.
Would come here a lot when I was kid. Sadly the place is dying due to lack of business. Starting to become more run down and outdated. There is better places to go if you don't mind a slight drive.
SHUT THIS PLACE DOWN IMMEDIATELY Took my son and nephew NOTHING worked, the worker had to keep attempting to fix the bumper cars. It was dust and dirt everywhere inside, the fact that kids have to swipe their gaming card for everything is insane to me. The ball pit was extremely dirty, a child peed and went down the slide I informed a worker and she didn't even care to want to go clean it. It's unfair to kids that nothing works and it needs to shut down or be remodeled with new rides and games.
I've been going here since they opened. I was approximately eight or nine 9 years old. Now im a father and finally took my son here. The staff is great, and it's the only place worth paying for other places like you know who charged way too much for games. My only critique is that they clean the games parts where you place your hand on the more frequently. It's still still a very clean place.
We arrive there at seven 50 PM google stated that they closed at 9 PM and they were already locking the doors at 7:50 PM
At first there were some concerns that resulted in me requesting a refund. After talking with Miranda things calmed down and my girls actually had a great time. Miniature Golf was great
I haven't been here in years. We went the other day and it was very fun. The games aren't too many points and you get a lot of tickets. Customer service was good. My only complaint is they really need to do a deep cleaning and paint inside and outside.
I attended this location for a few parties, the food is typical pizza, chicken wings and etc. The unreserved tables for parties get packed on Saturday afternoons around 3pm-5pm and it looks like a turf war scene as families try to mark their territory. They have cards you load money on to play games. We gravitated towards the obstacle area near the back, it's a shoe-free area with tunnels and ball pits...this is the highlight for toddlers and above but supervision is a must, it's easy for a small child to g
Service was excellent. The gaming area needs updating, servicing. They are rigged for sure.
My niece had her 4th Birthday party and the kids had a blast. The food was delicious as well.
Went here as a field trip for school. Machines weren't working, leaving us to only be able to play lottery games and claw machine games. Laser tag was fine, however the bumper carts only had like 3 carts working. There were ants all over the games and it was just dirty in general. Candy is overpriced. Most games don't even give you that many points. The roller coaster ride on the inside was completely messed up. The bumpers were falling off, the seat bar was loose, and the cracks were taped. Definitely do n
I would give no stars. After spending $ 45. On food. Just food couldn't even get a complimentary cup of barbecue sauce for my fries. The manger rolled her eyes and was like .50 cents. Seriously!!!! This place was the spot for children entertainment. Now my grandkids will never know the beauty of it. I will NEVER COME HERE AGAIN.. THE TUNNEL NEED SERVICE AND REPAIR TOO! SAD
Family fun from the parking through the entrance and the whole time you are there. So many childhood memories ????
Oddessy has been a staple in my kids life where we know we can go to have fun, eat good, and just have a great time! The staff is always friendly and attentive. I've had multiple parties here for my kids and they run smoothly every time! Whether you going for a party or just on a random day, your kids will definitely enjoy themselves!!
This place could be really nice. But it's dirty and all the employees just sitting around on their phones. Make them clean something. Cleanest room was the bathroom. You can just see the dirt buildup on everything. Maybe you don't pay attention to it on a Friday or Saturday night when it's busy. But walk around this place on during the day. And look around. Get a cleaning crew to come in at night and do a good cleaning before someone gets sick. Seen one person trying to clean the pool when the bumper boats
Had a party here for my son and daughter. Staff was nice and very helpful. It wasn't too crowded which is great. Only thing I dislike is the party times. For the amount of money spent, party rooms should be at least 3-4 hrs vs 2 hrs. It feels rushed! But you can utilize the tables in the dining area when your party is over. Overall my kids and guest had a good time so I'm happy.
This place need to be shut down!!!! It's dirty and everything is broken the games are old and barely work it no up to date games for the prices to be so high! The staff was extremely friendly tho! This place would be so much better if they would clean more and put more up to date games! No kid wants to play Austin Powers pinball machine like come on now get it together!
My six year old grandson and I had a fantastic time. The people there were all so nice and friendly. We got there just before noon and it wasn't crowded at all. The rides were perfect. He was to young for a lot of the games but there was plenty to do. We had lunch there. It wasn't very good but it served its purpose. We can't wait to go back!
Completely disappointed by this park, at least indoors. The staff was disrespectful which makes all the difference in any experience. We were ignored when in line and even cut by others. Once it was our turn, it was ?full? although plenty of seats available and we had already been cut to begin with. It was pretty obvious we were waiting and were being blatantly ignored. Outside staff was great even though our kids were a little too young for the activities. Will not be coming back.
I attended a birthday party. The staff is incredibly rude, and the manager clueless. There was one girl who seemed to care and checked on the party. The others who work there are just so incredibly rude and put out by having to work. DO NOT waste your money on a party here. It's not worth it.
Went to Odyssey Fun World today with my daughter and 2 grandsons. The manager Toni went above and beyond to assist with an issue we had and turned what could have been a disappointing day into a very fun experience. The gentleman who ran the bumper cars for us made my younger grandsons day too! Thank you again to Toni and the other workers who made our experience great at Odyssey Fun World! We will definitely be back!
A place for quick fun but gets old quick if you go there multiple times.
I can understand why the kids have fun. But the staff... Good lord the staff is TERRIBLE. They can't explain anything. They mumble. They kicked machines to start and then walk away. The staff gives the place a bad image and I wouldn't go back.
It was raining and all the water goes in from the roof and it wasn't safe to play with all the electricity in the place I left immediately
It was really nice great for children and adults...A lot of fun...and it was to crowded we went on a Sunday evening. People are trying to find places to take their children where it is safe and this seemed like a nice place. Please people let it stay that way. Parents need some place to bring their children so they can be children and feel safe...The pizza was delicious my grandbaby loved it and and so did we. The staff was young African American people and they all were very helpful and friendly....(I ha
Fun place for smaller kids but you have to enjoy the smell of cheap weed and the company of those that like to smoke it around their kids.
Nephew had a great time for his birthday! Lots for the kids to do! Even the adults enjoyed themselves
Horribly ran. This place should be shut down. No lights and numbering in the miniature golf area. Half the games don't work and if they do they don't even put the tickets on your card. My son had a horrible experience and if we could give negative stars we would.
Upon entering, we didn't see any staff for ten mins, the rides are temporarily out of order, a handful of arcade games are out of order, the attendant disappeared for 45 min while my children and i we're trying to enter the tunnel part. I went through the tunnels with my children to find used bandaids, toilet tissue, baggies, food, gum, sticky substances, candy wrappers, etc. And, glass! There's an entire window shattered with cardboard over it but there's still glass pieces!
I'm still wondering how it's still in business. It is so run down and hasn't been updated or managed well in YEARS.
Does not live up to expectations. Lackluster. Mostly outdated video games. Many of them out of service. I wasted my money.
This is the best option for kids, everything is bigger and better than the competition. The ball pit needs to be larger but other than that this place is spacious and lots of options for the little ones.
The kids had fun, but I wouldn't recommend having a birthday party here. We weren't able to get into our room until around 12:25 due to a challenge the staff was having with another guest which required us to wait until it was resolved before they could support us. They apologized for the inconvenience, but given their structures around time, their apologies did little to support us. You only get the room for two hours which isn't really enough time to set up and break down. The remaining two hours the kidd
I came here once about 30 years ago. It seems that it's new ownership since I have been here last.
False advertisement. Half of the games worked and the arcade games were old / outdated. Mini golf, laser tag, bowling activities were all closed. Go-Carts didn't work. Staff were lethargic. This place has really gone down!!!!
They are sitting on a gold mine, but instead of taking care of it, they duct tape it back up and I'm pretty sure they're accepting that they will be closing soon. Could decide not to be lazy and keep the place in operating order, but I guess it's easier to be lazy. Oh well.
I haven't been here since I was a kid 20 years ago, and NOTHING has changed. Most games are run down, broken, or malfunctioning. Multiples games take your credits but don't work properly. Buttons broken. Paint peeling. Stained carpet. Skeeball machines with broken pieces etc. They don't want to invest in updating the place. I'll take my business elsewhere.
The kid jungle gym is closed, as well as the outside ??I guess 25$ is reasonable for what's there!!!
Kids had so much fun for kamaya's birthday party
I wish I could give zero stars! I had my granddaughter party there & gnats were all over the place. The hostess sprayed something but that seem help. We ended up sitting on the outside to get away but they were at the tables as well. The manager said she couldn't do anything. I also emailed corporate & never received a response.
My family & I have enjoyed coming here for years. The customer service was very kind when our game card was acting crazy on our last visit. Keep up the good work Odyssey!
So first off the person upstairs was sleeping. Look like they're on drugs. All the outside stuff is not even put together. There's trash everywhere. The place looks like it's about to close down and go for bankruptcy, so go there. But don't go there at the same time.
Place is decent. Extremely dated. Some of the games weren't working. But for 2 small kids to keep occupied for a little while it worked. The staff was extremely friendly which makes up.
I'm going to have to go low on this place cool idea but half the games were not working and the employees might be kids them self but standing around hanging out is not teaching them about work . As my grandson didn't get to play the games he wanted . Waited on someone to get off there phone to run the coaster for my grandson not worth the 40 dollars . Just go spend some quality time at a city park for free. Ps my grandson had just as much fun if not more.
Not well kept. Food wasn't great. Disappointed
Toni went Above and Beyond!!! Answered all Questions with Patience. Will Definitely call and book Again.
Everything wasn't open. It was only two bumper cars. Outside attraction is never open. Only thing they have is arcade games. Need a clerk that speak proper English. Asia clerk English was broken and could hardly understand her. Didn't like customer service at all.
We love going with the kids but it is so crowded sometimes!
Nice facility for the kids. First time here. The workers here have no professionalism. for example , I went to the counter to order food. The person at the counter is not saying anything but standing there. I asked if I could order she said ?I'm waiting for you to talk?. Eye rolling, can't articulate a sentence well. Gutter trash at it's finest.
Outside of the nostalgia hype not living up to reality seeing this place now as the adult bringing the kid, it looks like they don't put much if any money into updating this place. I swear some things still have the same duct tape on the cushions from when I went here as a kid. Balls in the ball pit were filthy. The games at least didn't feel too pricey. Seems like the upstairs area doesn't have as much of a price hike compared to downstairs as it did when I was a kid. The prize section looks laughable. It
Save your money and time folks, do not go there. That place is simply dirty. I was praying the whole time we were in (less than an hour) that my kids don't get sick by touching the handles, balls and everything else. Most of the attraction didn't work. The bumper cars had to be pushed by an employee to run, what a joke. Not to mention how unprofessional the manager was. I'm just wondering why this place is still open. It's obviously a hazardous scam waiting for an accident to happen.
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.”
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.
