Customer Reviews

Didn't know what to expect. My daughter who is picky at times has autism and let me tell you , when I asked for the end lane for bowling... They sure did a GREAT ?? job! We appreciate everyone there! Staff was on point that day. We were treated so Well I didn't care how much I spent on my daughter for her birthday surprise here@Primetime!! We definitely will return. Also I did purchase the Prime Plus so yes we bowled some games. Had a blast! Hope they fix other attractions soon like bumper cars?.

PrimeTime has quickly become one of our favorite spots in Abilene! It's been one of our favorite places to go in Abilene. Other than it being the perfect place to spend time as a family, the owner and staff are amazing. We showed up first thing on a Tuesday morning, and the staff surprised our daughter with a personalized coloring sheet they made just for her. It was such a sweet and thoughtful gesture. Everyone is super friendly and makes the place feel really welcoming. It's the perfect spot to hang out

Pizza was great. Lots of fun things to do. We had a blast. Spent quite a bit of money but it was worth it.

We visited today for just a fun morning. We have been many time over the years. We have a had variety of experiences, mostly good never really bad. Today, though, they were on point! My seven year old granddaughter even commented, ? The people here are sure nice!? . From the moment we walked in and over the next four hours, we were so well taken care of. Staff members went out of their way to make sure everything was good. We were there for a bit over four hours. Three kids, one adult, pizza, cotton candy,

My boys and I absolutely love spending time at prime time! We drive an hour one way, just to get there. So we usually stay for most of the day, and we go as often as possible. We were literally there three times last week. It's a great place for family fun! Wonderful, kind, and helpful employees , and tasty food too!

We were in town for a basketball tournament & had to make sure we made a stop here with the kids l! Lots of fun , great food!! Highly recommended & the kids enjoyed it

We celebrated my sons birthday. The crew was friendly specially the manager. They allowed us to over stay on the birthday party area. Highly recommended!

We went to prime time for my son?s birthday and didn't even buy a birthday package yet the employees were incredibly friendly, helpful, and attentive to our group. I would like to specifically mention Heaven, the floor manager, who insured that our experience for my son?s birthday turned out great. I got a lot of compliments from the other parents on how well the birthday went. Thank you for making my son?s 4th birthday a great day.

Visited here while on vacation. They have a wide variety of options for people of all ages. We did mini-golf, bumper cars, mirror maze, arcades, and (for the little ones) CurioCity. CurioCity cost us about $14 per kid for 2 hours, which is pretty on par with independent play places, so while at first glance it seemed too expensive, it actually was reasonably priced. It also has some really neat things to play with, from "play street" sort of things like a grocery store, fire department, doctor's office, pet

This is the most amazing place for my little one. The Curiosities area is so fun and full of creativity! Everything is their size and stocked full of relevant toys and props for play! There is an pizza parlor, vet, grocery store, bakery, hospital, post office, kitchen, fire station, car garage, construction vehicles they can manipulate, and a huge indoor playground they can explore. The people who work here are excellent. They keep all the toys organized in the correct place and even having cleaning times w

This is a 10 out 10 place if you're looking for something fun to do in Abilene. The customer service was top tier and everything is affordable and fun! Loaded beer battered fries were perfect! Thank you so much for a wonderful experience!!!

I brought my daughter and her friend here for a playdate. They had alot of fun! We came in the morning, so didn't get to do everything (some activities are not open until evening). But we had the whole place to ourselves for a little while. I saw people complain about the cost, but it is as expected now days, everything costs more everywhere you go. The food was really good and the staff were great. Gavin was the best, he was very sweet and fun with the kids, and very helpful with everything we needed! It's

My kids had a blast! Food Bowling arcades rock climbing bumper cars balancing ropes beams mirror house way too much to list Kids paradise Highly recommend you take your kids they will love you!!

We come here Everytime my husband is in town from work (with and without kids lol). Plus I come by myself or with the kids when he's gone at work. The staff is Absolutely A-mazing, we love them! They are super friendly and attentive. Can't go without having a pizza either....... Best pizza I've ever had!! We definitely score a 10 outta 10 for this place without a doubt.

My girlfriend and I went here this past weekend and had an absolutely amazing time! Games and rides were such a blast I wish we stayed longer! The staff was very friendly the entire time! Shoutout to Cooper, one of the employees, who made our experience even better. An absolute 10/10 experience!

I would rate this negative if I could. Curiocity is a total disaster. I get it, it's a kids area and it doesn't stay clean long, but nobody was in there and it was chaos. Then the area where the kids can climb around on different equipment, is absolutely disgusting. The clumps of hair hanging off the balloon pit area is outrageous. The grime all over the floors in these areas just scream infection. We then proceeded over to the arcade where almost half the games don't even work. And there were some games th

Had a great time here. Went for the new deal they were offering. Got food pizza and wings, unlimited bowling, and unlimited retro arcade play and mini golf. Was a little cold outside so didn't play golf. The food was good and the staff was very accommodating. Overall wonderful experience.

Overall a great experience. The kids love the play area and the mirror maze. The arcades are great with only a few out of order while we were there.

Just had a birthday party at Curiocity with a mix of kids from 1 to 7yo. Definitely recommend! Our party planner Nevaeh was amazing! She was so energetic and kind, offering to help with anything and everything. This was my first time hosting a party for a group of kids and I wouldn't have known what to do without her. If you're questioning the price of the party package, she makes it worth every penny!

Every year I visit Abilene with my daughter and we always go bowling here. It's a large space with friendly employees. I hate the chairs at the front by the lanes, they dont stay in place and they're SO uncomfortable. Its pricey for three people to bowl, but to be fair I'm old enough to remember when bowling was some of the cheapest entertainment you could get.

Firstly, the employees are very respectful and helpful. It's the managers that have a tendency to be rude. I didn't receive my correct change and tried to let them know (not even asking for it), but the manager told me I was lying. I came to spend time with my family on Saturday but spent the day getting disrespected by the managers. There are fun attractions but incredibly expensive. Be ready to drop 200+ just for a couple hours

Last year we were here every week and had a blast. Came back two times since and had constant problems with games, bowling and just flat out unknowable employees along with the fact that with hardly nobody bowling why you would stack people on top of each other needs to be addressed. Will drive to Brownwood a hour away before I go back again

We went there because there was an advertisement for a bowling entertainment night 15 dollars. My husband and and I were going to have a date night. Get up there and pay gave our shoe size and then manager and another supervisor come up and say that we can't have a lane because they were reserved for some people that called in lane reservations and were late. We were very disappointed and asked for our money back. Took our arm bands off and got our refund with no remorse or any emotion at all. Who cares rig

Tonight my church, Friendship Baptist Albany, brought the youth for a night of fun. Prime Time manager, Alfredo, and his staff have taken great care of us. I just wanted to express how wonderful it is to have a place for teenagers to play games, drive go-carts, experience the escape room, play laser tag, bowl and enjoy good food and not have to worry about their safety--especially on a night like New Years Eve. It is a shame that more churches and youth groups did not take advantage of this alcohol-free env

There are so many attractions. Not too overly prices.. downside. A lot of games down or over charge, says 2 credits but charges 4.

This place is chaotic on a Saturday I recommend going on a weekday if you don't like big crowds. The price is a little steep but that's to be expected. Bowling and later tag are both fun. As for the rest of the inside part it's crowded, stuffy, and I feel like they need clearer instructions on some of the arcade games. And there's a lot of things that they charge separately for (most of the new bigger better things) . After paying so much for arm bands I feel old it should include all of those attractions

I just wanted to say we had an awesome time as usual but I wanted to mention the staff,everyone is so pleasant and helpful,and especially the food counter staff were wonderful and very helpful

Two years ago had an awful experience. Son had to get stitches and was treated great during the chaos. Calling back the next day was treated like scammers. Well came today and didn't even want to mention it but my eight year old loves to talk. They didn't have to do anything cause I wasn't gonna expect anything. But they gave us about $40 in credit for my boys to laser tag. New management running the place and you can tell!

The three is because, when your kid saves his own money to go to this place in Abilene Texas, because we were on a mini vaca and you have games that charge $1.50 for maybe 3 mins and only give 1 ticket and your ticket store minimum is 5 tickets for a tootsie roll. Go Carts were fun but they 10 dollars for 3 laps, unlimited would have cost you 52 bucks. The kiddie world was 15 dollars to even go in , so this would be costly for a group of 5. But still had fun!

Want to feel like a kid again!? Go here!! We always have a blast. It's a little pricey, but it's so worth it. Great for family time, date night, girls' night out, whatever you want it to be. We have out fun then get a bite before leaving.

We attended a event put on by Disability In Action last night and we had the absolute best time! This was my first time visit since my graduation lock in back in 2009. It made me so happy to see my daughter having such a great time. Every employee we came across was kind and helpful. Putt Putt was our absolute favorite. The entire area is well cared for. We especially loved the fountains.

Family fun that don't cost an arm and a leg. This place is so fun and filled with so many activities for families. My kids loved the arcade and bumper cars. I hate that my 10 and 9 year olds couldn't ride the go-carts because they were too short! Should go by age not height!

The PRIMETIME Social so great!!! The guy in charge so great and high energy! I taught us a bunch of great board game ! I didn't know what to expect but I got more than my money worth ! It was $15 for unlimited mini golf , bowling and arcade games ! Super lit

It was a blast!! We all enjoyed the games and activities. Sure wished the batting cages were open though. Maybe next time though. The staff were very friendly and helpful getting set up.

We will never go back. Wasted SO much money in the arcade alone. They have machines broken down that take your money, but they never put signs on them or shut them down. The basketball game had ONE ball. Clown toss had ONE ball. The coin token game rips you off. I dont feel there are enough employees to accommodate the number of children. One of the employees put a harness on my kiddo and walked away...just left him there without clipping him onto rock climb. THE ONLY THING THERE TO BRAG ABOUT IS THE PIZZA

So much fun! My sister and I brought our families here in celebration of my son & niece recent birthdays. We enjoyed mini golf, go karts, bumper cars and the arcade. Started out with pizza and it was so delicious. Highly recommend it. We didn't get a chance to bowl because we started out doing the other things before it started getting really busy however next time we plan to go early and start with bowling. Our kids 13 & 9 enjoyed the entire experience especially the AR & laser tag of course. Can't wait to

The 15 dollar deal is a rip off. Went tonight , it clearly states unlimited bowling. But we were only allowed three games , then not allowed anymore .. They clearly lied about that. Unlimited does not mean three games !!! False advertising, clearly deceptive!!! Bad business for sure!!!

They do not maintain the miniature golf course it was a wreck. and they do not clean it either! it had leaves and acorns everywhere. I also don't like how it seems to be like a little gambling addiction center for little kids I know they all get tickets and have similar games but prime time is next level gambling addiction.

Was having a good time blowing with my wife and her little brother and mind you a little brother is only like 11 and so he's still young and then I dont who this guy was that work here but he was a smart ass to my wife's little brother staying in think you missed just bc he accidentally threw ball in a lane that wasn't active so im a little irritated now

Jose was awesome! He made our escape room experience so much more fun. He was great!

Passing thru town and decided to stop for something fun to break up our drive. We were impressed by the staff and the facilities. Anything you might enjoy it seems they have - bowling, arcade, laser tag, go karts etc. The employees working there were super awesome - the batting cages were down tonight so they comped our shoe rentals. Bowling prices quite reasonable but the arcade was overpriced in our experience

This place is way too expensive!!! The prices are outrageous. For what they are charging it is not worth it. The outside area is rundown. The inside is boring. The bumper cars inside is a joke the area is so small. The mirror maze is not worth $9.00!!! The rock climbing is small and ridiculous!! The arcade is not that great they have the same games in the mall. Trust me, it's not worth the money. They need to lower their prices!!

Ehhh. Will shut down stuff if they are short staffed waited hours for someone to be availiable and they closed again due to weather. Money waisted. Also they are rude when you utilize the side door for outside, when they should just lock it??

Highly recommend. My wife and I had a great time! Fun place, bowling is good, quite a variety of arcade games, and they have lots of other activities and what seemed to be some good food options. The staff was very kind and helpful!

This place is always a fun spot and the staff is always helpful. This review is way overdo but the staff went above and beyond in my eyes to help make our engagement happen. Definitely have to check out the escape rooms when they return! The manager Heaven and Garret our game operator for that day Aug 22,21 y?all were truly exceptional and thank y?all again!!

This place is run down and is just sad. Don't take you kids here if you don't want them to learn a lot of four letter words from the other people playing putt putt. The mosquitos are horrible, the landscaping is about dead and the grass isn't cut adding to the mosquito problem. Half the water features are not operational and are just holding nasty stagnant water where even more mosquitos are growing. I do not plan to take my family here again until I hear it has improved. Very disappointed.

For the price of a six flags ticket, we did bumper cars, a few times, Lazer tag a couple of games, wasted over $5 on broke arcade games, was told to get my son off the playground that it cost extra and wasn't included in the unlimited wrist band that we had. I spent so much time trying to track service workers down that I missed most important and fun moments of his birthday party. $43 per child on a Wed evening for a very limited unlimited package is some what sad to keep telling your kids sorry we can't d

Its a blast! The workers are very friendly.

Heaven and the rest is the crew made my daughters birthday an amazing experience. I would recommend anybody looking for something to do for a birthday to come out and have a day

MIs:Bella is very nice she was helping us out but there was this white dude with long hair don't talk to him he is mean

What a fun place to go! Lots of variety which is great and so many fun things to do! I loved bowling and the arcade was a blast! Definitely will be coming back! 100% recommend coming here :)

Took daughter for a birthday evening of bowling,arcade and go karts...loved it...prices reasonable and the workers were awesome!!!will visit again

We took the daughter and husband with all the grandchildren (3) for an evening of fun. We had a great time bowling and gaming. Food was okay, actually better than we expected. Get a small loan before you go, as it's a bit pricey. Need to spend 3 hours there to get your money's worth.

Don't go! It isn't worth the price. It's cheaper to go to six flags or hurricane harbor! Honestly! They're ridiculous for changing the price the way they have.

I love this place! It's always so much fun for the kids with plenty of activities to keep them entertained. They're constantly adding new and exciting attractions, so it never feels repetitive or boring. Highly recommend for a great family outing!

OK, so check it out, I am originally from the Dallas-Fort Worth area, but I reside in San Angelo. If you know anything about anything in Texas, there is so much to do in the Dallas-Fort Worth and there's very little to do in San Angelo. San Angelo is great but it's a little bit too small for me. Luckily Abilene is only about an hour away. Abilene may be perfect. It has so much more to do, it gives you that big city vibes without the big city traffic. So I stumbled upon prime time, and let me tell you what,

Me, the wife, and 2/4 kids had fun here. We started out bowling, then bumper cars, then go karts, then bumper cars again. I know it has something to do with safety, but I would have liked the go karts to be faster. Other than that, I would recommend again.

My family and I had SOOOOOOO much FUN here, we shut down the place! They have so many activities such as mini golf, laser tag, go kart racing, axe throwing, bowling, XD theater. I suggest spending the $36 for an unlimited pass each person. The go karts are like $7.50 each, laser tag (same), bumper cars $4... It's just better if you get the unlimited pass and ride all attractions as many times as you want. We had a 6yr old that wasn't tall enough to drive the go karts so her pass was cheaper but she still go

$6 to play mini golf was a great price! But the course was poorly marked and horribly maintained. Lots of people out there do its not like they aren't making money. I took these photos 4/16/22 so I do not know when Primetime has worked on their course.

Had a good meal while I watched the family have a blast running around.

Great atmosphere! Family friendly place! Highly recommend if you are in the Abilene area!

There's lots of fun to be had here. If you have the money to spend on it all. The premium pass allows you to do maybe half of the things there. (Go karts, bumper cars, mini golf, bowling, 3D theater, $10 of arcade, laser tag) But there's so much else to do that you don't feel like you have a premium pass because you'd think you'd be able to do everything. We still had lots of fun, but my kids kept wanting to do the stuff that would cost even more money than we spent on the premium pass ($53 a person).

Great place for fun!! Cost is a lil high but evens out with the fun you have & the memories you make.

This place is amazing, the best arcade I've ever been to. The staff was very helpful and very nice, especially Antonio and Kiley. Their manager was really nice too. And everything was amazing! No drinks came out flat, they have the best pizza I've ever tasted, and I love this place so much I would come here for the next 20 years!!

Overpriced! $50 bucks in the arcade gone in about 10 minutes for 3 kids. Game are a $1 to $3 a game. Outrageous. The curiocity is for kids 8 and under, so my 5 year old can't play with her 9 and 10 year siblings even though it would be completely fine to do so. They keep adding stuff, but this place was empty. I live 2 minutes from this place, and it's always disappointing how overpriced it is. They can't blame inflation either because it's always been overpriced.

Adalyne did a beautiful job today making my husband and I feel so welcomed! She is a rockstar!

Parents, if you have a child 5 and under do not take your kid to primetime the lil kid play area. It's over priced at 8.50 to play on the lil toys they have and parents if you think you want to play with your kids think again the stuff won't you go anywhere but the floor area. My suggestion to get more bang for your buck go to Max Air. For 3 ppl with the socks it's like 18 dollars for an hour but it's worth the money. It's bigger area to play and more things that the whole family can do. The lil kid play ar

Half the games either didn't work or they needed to be recalibrate. Played games that were messed up and didn't get tickets on card. Very disappointed in our visit

Spent way more money than it was worth. When my girls was on the race track one of their cars wouldn't pick up any speed. The little 3d movies are the same ones they have had for years so you get a little worn out on them plus you couldn't even hear the old man talk there was no sound through the whole thing. Then you have the bumper cars and they didn't have their usual music and flashing lights that my kids like it was just boring to them just hitting each other. Probably won't be going back until they ma

First time visiting today. Went with family, a total of 5 of us. Paid for an hour of bowling. 10 mins in and the lane malfunctioned. Was moved to a new lane, the bumpers for my young daughter did not work so we were moved to a 3rd lane. This lane also malfunctioned so we were moved to a different lane again. Immediately this lane also malfunctioned. The technician couldn't figure out what was wrong. There were multiple families bowling which none of them had issues but every lane we tried to use simply didn

Really fun! Prices aren't too bad. My kids had a blast. We will definitely be returning

Always a fun time with the family, love the verity of activities, pizza is good, great service, they are helpful, and joyful staff. We had a good time! Shout out to Miss. Maddie, for making my boy feel special for his birthday! She is so good with the littles!

Played a round of golf, which was fun. However, it would have been better if the courses were blowed off at least once in the a.m. There were many trees and rocks on the course, and that isn't great when playing putt putt. Went inside to play the games, and quite a few games were messed up or broken. At least the staff was able to correct the issue.

It was a good time on a company outing. It's really geared towards teens and younger. Lots of games and the go karts is always a good time. Bowling is always a favorite. Has a good variety of snacks at the bar.

This place is wonderful and so family friendly!! However, Naveh is my absolute favorite staff member. From the moment I met her to every station we ran into each other, she was happy, friendly, and always had the best conversations. Highly recommend y'all go visit her.

it's ok, but exspensive, crowed, very noisy. And a ton of ankle biters.

It was fun but the person at the register fail to explain everything to us. I told them we never been here and show them my group I brought of 7 & They recommend getting the highest premium pass of 52$ which we didn't mind but 3 kids out of my group wasn't able to do half of the attractions we paid for but the person at the register told us they was able to. Spent 420$ on passes when we could have spent 200$. I was told maybe next time I order the ticket to ask questions about the passes which I did and was

Great place for kiddos and adults. Had a blast. Ready to do it again

Hello! Yesterday I brought my visiting family (from Wyoming) to Prime Time. I checked online to see your hours (10 a.m.-10 p.m.). We arrived at 11 a.m. We wanted to buy the unlimited passes for $39.99 each. We were told nothing would be open until 3 p.m., ''but'' we could bowl now, if we wanted to buy the passes. I bought 8 passes, totaling $346.31, transaction We did one game of bowling, which malfunctioned 3x during the game. Once finished we went to lunch and shop; then came back at 3 p.m. Some of

Great experience. Had a lot of fun with the family. Some stuff didnt work, but anyways the staff was always nice and helped out to make it all work.

Lots of fun but better have deep pockets little expensive!

You can easily spend a full day with the family here. Lots to do for all ages. The new escape rooms are really cool.

Took our grandson. They have something for all ages. Very clean. Limited food menu, but what we did get was very good.

The food served should be tested on the hour . We were served spoiled or burnt metal tasting gravy .we informed the young staff but they continued to serve it untill we told manager and she said they dumped it and remade it. My grandchildren ate there from noon till 8pm my babies probly didn't notice untill I tasted it . The chicken also tasted like it was cooked In old grease . Please for the love of children taste test the food .

This was such a great place to take the family lots to do, and pizza was pretty good. This was our 1st time at Prime Time. All the employees were top-notch. JJ fixed the basketball game so fast and took care of everything without a hassle or wait. Big shout out to Alexis for helping my kiddos in the LaserTag they said they had so much fun. Last but not least the manager Way on duty was one of the best managers on duty. Spoke highly of the employees and was very attentive to EVERYONE didn't see him stop 1 ti

We have had numerous birthday parties here and visit from time to time for fun. Bowling, golf, escape room, bumper cars, xd theater, all day pass. It is great. The food is good. The staff are typically young, but very nice. Especially Garrett and Caleb.

I love bowling here and doing the arcade and especially the cheese fries. Me and my family love to come here to have fun and have some "friendly" competition.

Really only other place to go bowling in town which is unfortunate. Our lane went down for close to 15min and our time wasn't refundable/ they didn't want to add the missing time. Alright experience otherwise.

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?
