Customer Reviews

My kids had an absolute blast for their double birthday party here! The lady setting up for the party was so sweet (I wish i remembered her name) she helped me a lot and there was good communication! I definitely would recommend this place for a kids party

Safari land was a great experience for our kiddos ages 1,2,8 and 11 years old. We had pizza and it was wonderful! Price was very reasonable for the amount of fun we had. We stayed for 4 hours and could have stayed longer. Very fun place! We will be back later in the week for bowling!

This was our first visit to Safari Land. I have a five-year-old granddaughter and I'm always concerned in large spaces, that are overcrowded and I'll lose sight of her in the Jungle Gym area. But I was blown away at how everything is so sectioned off and there is an employee supervising very closely everything going on at each and every location. They don't walk around aimlessly, they are focused at their station and keep a very close eye on the children. I was so impressed. Everyone was so very nice. No wa

I have a party there every year for my child. I've been going there for 7 years now. It's always clean and is bigger and better than most other kids party places. The food is good and reasonably priced. They always have space on the date that we choose to attend. The only problem is when you have a cake they don't want to give you anything to cut it with so please make sure you bring your own cutting utensils. This year we forgot to bring a knife and they wouldn't give us anything at all. The kitchen staff

Safari land is wonderful! It is clean and has so many wonderful rides! The bowling alley is great and the roller coaster is very fun! But most importantly, our son is severely disabled, non verbal autistic and every time we go every staff member is helpful, treats us with dignity and respect and makes accommodations to help my son enjoy all of the rides and have a wonderful day. We are always there for HOURS enjoying all of the fun and family time. They have the best group of employees I've ever seen. Th

We Love safari land. So much fun for all ages. Weve been here a few times and every time is a great time. A few minutes to No wait on rides. Lots of Arcade and plenty for kids to enjoy. Always clean the food is good. The employees are nice and helpful.

My nieces and nephews have had their birthday parties here. The food at the concession stand is surprisingly good, especially the pizza and wings!! Games are fun, a bit on the procey side for a lot of games, but the kids had fun. It's very noise as they're always calling birthday parties to their room to cut cake or eat.

Needed a break while traveling out of town with kids... Found this place and kids loved it. Bought the unlimited rides bracelet... Kids havd a blast on all the rides. Food was decent and better than I expected honestly. Will probably visit again if I'm ever in the area.

Not what I expected. I went for my 4 year olds birthday but my 8 year old couldn't get on any rides with her because of height restrictions. It was very limited what they could do together. Don't recommend for people or families with different age group children.

This was our first time going to Safari Land to celebrate my son?s birthday. I recommend this place. The place was clean, there is entertainment for kids of all ages, and our hostesses, Joanna and Josephine, were amazing. Thanks again, Joanna!

My son loves this place. We probably go 2-3 times a month now. The manager is always so nice to us and Mary one of the staff members is always a pleasure and very nice.

Great place to take your kids for some fun!

I LOVE COMING HERE !!! I've went here 2 times and I love it because there was 2 roller coasters a real one and a virtual one the virtual one can spin and it was funny my sister was screaming then her hat fell and I was laughing and plus the food there is bussin!! The employees and people there were nice and I like the bumper cars. Lots of things to do in safari land.

Haven't been in probably 1-2 years and they definitely upgraded on arcade games and added a fun bouncy house. The food prices are fair and definitely many cheap options! The place was clean. I brought my 5 year old and 14 month old. Wish I has more money. Will be back

Question? Will the new rollercoaster have lights and music, because my favorite song on the current coaster is glad you came? Also will it be for kids or for all ages like tiger terror. I think the reason Tiger terror got so popular was because it was not your Average kitty coaster and I really liked that. I'm looking forward to the new coaster though.

LOVED IT! This was our first visit and I'm so bummed we waited this long. The place is enormous and there's something for everyone. I found the pricing and games very fairly priced. If you go, just get the ride bracelet for one price and ride til you drop.

Very young unmotivated staff. Most go karts were "broken: and remaining 2 were about as fast as a baby walker. Kids will have fun but it will cost a good amount of money for 3 kids.

I brought my 2 little girls (9 and 5) We spent $84, and i would say it was too much for the place! My 5 yrs old kid, did not find any interesting amusement except couple arcades My 9 yrs had unlimited rides wristband, and only used multiple rides at max ride! Maybe it was the only fun for her We tried to get back $20 as arcade credit was more than we thought, but they refused. No purchase could be done So just wasted time and money to get tokens I don't feel that it was worth it

Took my 5 year old granddaughter, daughter and my sister. We had a pleasant time. Need more activity rides/areas for children under 5 years old. Some activities were out of order.

Attractions were cool to look at . I got a game card and swiped for multiple games that stole my money and didn't let me play the game (basketball, jet ski game , motorcycle). One of the machines was missing a wheel also , which I didn't notice till after . They definitely need to renovate the games and make sure they're up to date I could?ve played more do the machines didn't steal my money .

Super cute indoor fun play. They have rides for all the kids. I plan to host my daughters party here with so many different private rooms it's convenient. Everything was affordable and reasonably priced.

It was our first time here and had a lot of fun. The kids enjoyed all the rides, playgrounds, and games. Some machines didn't work, and we got charged, but the staff was quick to give us the lost credit. There is also a bowling section and many private birthday rooms. Overall, it is a good place to visit as a family or do a birthday.

It was my first time there with my family and we had a great experience. The staff was amazing and super helpful! The whole place was clean and smelled clean! We definitely enjoyed our visit and will go again. We enjoyed our visit for sure!

We really enjoyed Elle s Bday party June 21 at 230pm

We went last year for Halloween and it was a pretty awesome place and had wristbands days to go for better deals. Crazy big indoor entertainment and roller coaster and a real old school tilt a whirl too. Not bad. Better than go bananas by miles. Lol probably a huge accident waiting to happen if I'm honest. We had a ton of fun they have a tiny indoor race track here as well. The rollercoaster will give whiplash for sure, lol not kidding. FYI: for reference, I'm kinda also old school fun: live free ( most da

My kids had a blast here! It wasnt that expensive, i paid $25 for a card for 10 rides and was able to split it between my 2 kids. They have rides and games for all ages. And since my kids are a little younger, I was able to accompany them on most of the rides so they were still able to experience the fun!

Kids have a lot of fun with the arcades and mini bowling, and also, they have a rollercoaster?? while parent can enjoy a beer or drink at the bar and spend some time with the slot machines at the bar

I probably will never go back here. I was there last week for a birthday party and I have a special needs child. There were only 3 things she could probably do there safely. I asked the staff could I come in the gate and stand near by the bounce house as my child jumped just in case she hurt herself or needed my assistance. I was told no which is fine but he was rather rude about. Keep in mind there was no other child in the bounce house at the time. Same thing happened at the play area for small kids. The

I brought my family here for NYE and I was not disappointed AT ALL. Great atmosphere, fun rides, and tasty food! This is my family?s new ?go to? place for fun and games!

It was spectacular!!!! I took my daughter to have some fun for her birthday. And she and her friends lived it!! I paid $36 and some change, fir each child. Which was for 10 rides @ $25.00 plus the $10.00 for games. They have a $35.00 unlimited ride pass, but unfortunately that's Monday through Thursday. Despite that, it was affordable for me and everyone had a blast. Food was perfect as well. Pizza, Hot wings, and the sample platter!

Excellent rides for kids between 6-9 with somewhat lackluster video game selection. It was a far better arcade when it was Galaxy World! But back to the rides, my 7 year old loved the (deadly silent electric) go karts, bumper cars, and roller coaster, in that order. Being taller than 42" is important if your kid wants to ride all the rides. Parents can join the fun on the bumper cars and roller coaster but not the go karts. Get the 10 rides for $25 deal because otherwise rides average $5 each.

So this place was decent! I went on a Wednesday with my mom and 4 year old. They had all the standard games for indoor amusement arcades. Not many for younger kids. The rides that were available for my daughter had no attendant. She and another girl her age both had meltdowns in the jungle gym maze. Some games were not working and only only a handful give actual tickets, the rest go on a card. The ones I played that gave tickets seemed VERY generous. Pizza was way better than I expected, she chose the pep

We held my daughter's first birthday here (back in Feb 2020) and there is something for everyone. The food is decent enough for a kids play place. They have a bar for some extra fun for the adults. And for kids they have little coin operated cars for tiny kids and a little merry-go-round plus a big one. And then exotic rides like an indoor roller coaster and full tilt a whirl and lots of things in-between! You can do a package for a birthday in a room or just pay as you go and bring your own cake or cupcake

Do not let the outside fool you, it is big, it is loud, it is clean... ong the bathroom smells like bleach in a nice way. Got the all day wristband. My son is 10 but on the shorter side so he was all excited to be able to ride the go carts by himself and the bumper cars too. We will definitely be back because ita awesome. Bring quarters for the lockers if you want to put your coats somewhere. It's a dollar.

We couldn't have been more happy today at Safari Land. It was a truly enjoyable time. At the desk, David and Raina made sure all the passes were correct for the 10 year old group I brought. They were kind to us even though one of the girls asked for the wrong pass. David and Raina gladly fixed the mistake. Later when we added additional games to the pass. David gave me a complimentary pass for a game I loved. How nice! We were some of the only ones there on a school day where our kids got out for half a da

We were pretty excited to bring son here since it was our first time, and it was a Tuesday i understand it was slow, I've worked in customer service too but I mean the employe didn't even bother to smile or say hello or ask if we wanted to go on certain rides when seeing us standing there kinda wondering! I had to keep bothering the girl on the front desk..i just wish their employees were a little more welcoming.

Nice place for kids! I had fun here but some of the games wasn't working (even tho I swiped my game card ???????) pizza was just okay (I'm being nice)

My kids had a blast here. Even on a busy Sunday afternoon, the place did not feel too crowded. It is spacious and there is whole section for Toddlers. I was able to let my 3 year old run wild worry free because you can see them running around and above you through the nets. I love that!

Kids had an amazing time, the unlimited wrist bads are the way to go! Kids wrote the tiger coaster at least 10 times if not more. Staff was friendly and everything was very clean. Will definitely be coming back.

Broken games (did refund some lost tokens but not all) and rude staff.

It's a great place for kids to burn energy

Very entertaining amusement center with a variety of fun options for kids to choose from such as arcade games, rollercoaster rides, go karts, and bumper karts. Definitely enjoyed my time here.

Something for the whole family of all ages. And the food was good also! Just wish it was closer. My son had a ball!

This place was great the party was smooth with the help of safari land. Everything thing is supplied besides cake. We also brought table tops decoration, balloons, and banner. The kids had a great time! So many games and rides!

I came here with my 3 kids today and had a fantastic time. It was during a weekday so wasn't busy but also meant there were less workers available to help for the rides but Anthony asked us multiple times if we needed help with anything and even accommodated my kids on a ride right before they had to clean it. I really appreciate that and will definitely be coming back. I hope Anthony gets recognition for his excellent service.

First time, Birthday Party. I had a great time. My pretzel, wings, & fries were bomb dot com. Thanks 4 the play break. I cant wait 2 take my son.

Fun and safe place to bring your family lots of games,rides, bowling, pool tables and food very clean place.

Looks like a blast for the kids and so much to do. Omg great place with lots of rooms for groups and plenty of kids to go aroumd

We love safari land and were really disappointed with the birthday party. When we arrived, our party room was not ready at the right time. We were told to wait, as another party was still in there? I had to go and check myself and see the room was cleaned and empty already before being told we could go back, leaving us with less than 10 minutes to set up for our party. The price was much higher than quoted on the phone for the birthday package, and nothing was changed or added. Our party host was very kind,

The coaster is worth stopping even if that's all you do. So many family entertainment centers are Cookie-cutter but not this place.

Me and my friends went there for a birthday party. We were all excited for it but when we got there it smelled like alcohol, and nobody was there. The place had an eerie feel and the lights were dim, when we went on the spinning machine the worker touched me friends thighs while buckling their belts I'm pretty sure he didn't even work there the manager came and asked him to leave because my friends parents complained about the worker following us around and overall acting creepy, that same guy was staring a

Really bad service. Everyone there from the people at the attractions to the people on the front desk. Rude. If you have any question or inconvenience they cut your conversation in a rude way ask you what you want. Really bad experience!!

Safari land is fun overall however some of the staff that was working today acted as if they did enjoy being at work with the customer service that was received. 04/03/25

It has measurement. Not really fair for other children no matter how big they are to go on rides and stuff. Same for people.

Staff was great. Games were fun. Some games not working without an out of order sign, so they kept taking points out your card. Clean and fun environment. Would recommend.

This place is great for both kids and adults. Tons of fun, the food is good and the price wont hurt your wallet. Been coming here for about 10 years now and never get tired of it.

I came after so long and it is Way overpriced. On I advise, Rather go to urban air or even scene 75 for so much more for the same price. Don't think I'll ever come back.

Was visiting from out of town. We got in at 6 p.m brought the cards for the kids for the attractions. We also purchased a unlimited game card. At 7:43 they said the kids could not go on the attractions because they are closed. They don't mention this at the beginning. We said fine and the kids started to play the games. The game card is horrible. The games are not worth it at all. Some game work while the others don't work at all. The people working there look absolutely miserable. At 8:00 while the kids we

Love taking my son here not only does he have a great time but we all do, i love that they have the bowling side too which is where we spend about an hour having so much fun and the prices are very better than any other arcade we have gone to. Defenetly recommend

What a fun place to take my 11 year old son. He loved the roller coaster and the tilt a whirl. We had fun playing video game's together, lots of hands on games too like basketball and ski ball. It was not busy and the workers were nice.

This park is good and it's big, which helps with big lines and time to do more stuff. This park has all the rides kids love a rollercoaster and more. Lots of arcade games.

Had another birthday party here, my 6 yr lovessss this place, the staff and especially Gersa the manager she is wonderful!!! She has been there for many many years and this is our 5th Birthday Party !!! She very knowledgeable, fast and have everything in order. See you next year!!

This is a really big big place, blowing, video games, rides, party rooms,, a lot of young kids working here.. bar and alot of opcion for food.and yes alot of customers..

We've been there a few times before and the kids always have a blast! But we just did our daughter's 8th birthday there today. Place was very clean, staff were on top of everything at all times, kids loved the rides and games, especially the rollercoaster! Plus the food isn't your regular kiddie place food. They pretty good food!

Enjoyed taking my grandson there. It's an indoor amusement park and arcade.

First time here! We LOVED it. Friendly staff and the kids loved it. Brings out the kid in any adult no matter how old you are. Definitely coming back!

Great going on a date and to take your children. The freaking roller coaster was fun and the virtual roller coaster 3D. Just a great time.

My daughter wanted a ?tiger birthday party? for her 3rd birthday and I found this place on google that was not terribly far from us, and it had a tiger roller coaster, so I booked it site unseen. Fast forward to her party day and we had so much fun! The place is HUGE and was very clean. Our party room was nice and spacious and the kids loved the animal theme of the room. The price was very reasonable for the party wristbands and the kids had a blast. Beware that the roller coaster is actually way faster tha

I've never taken my kids to safariland. I haven't been since I was 13 and I'm 31. I don't remember much to know if anything had changed. But I never had to figure out how much to pay and what to pay for so it can make sense. I took my 3 kids there for my 2, yr old bday. I asked the person at the front desk what should I get and was asking her questions to see if my kids can get on rides. She recommended wrist bands so I got three. But my 2 year old couldn't get on anything. Only my 4 yr old and 11 yr old. S

if you want to have fun came to safari land that's so much fun and activities for littles and big ones...??????

Didn't have a good experience at all. They have too many height requirements. They're only allowed in the bouncy house for 5 minutes . It's a waste of your money especially if your child is over 7 years old. The workers are young and not friendly and bias. The manager was no help at all. I do not recommend you to bring any kid here if they're over the age of 7 because they will not be allowed to get on most of the attractions.

There was police activity inside by the door, that is why I gave it 3 stars? maybe take those situations and deal with the them outside.

Barely anything working... And just not a good experience for a 4 year old. Waaay to expensive. Go over to jump zone in Naperville... The decor inside was nice however.

We celebrated my nephew Kyren 6th birthday today. We really had a great time. The staff was so helpful and Gersa was wonderful in helping my sister organize the party to meet our needs . I would recommend Safariland to anyone that has children to go for this experience it was fun

Safari Land has been a go-to for our children since they were younger. Other than the fact that I think some of the rides and the building could use a little TLC, I think its a great place for children over 4 years old to have fun at. There are a number of rides the children can get on without an adult and they have a nice indoor play place for toddlers to safely play. I also really like that they have a time limit and capacity limit on their indoor bouncy house. The food is reasonably priced and decent in

0 stars. My two children were really excited to visit Safari Land for a birthday event, but right off the bat while entering we were hit with the smell of marijuana and liquor. Made zero sense since it's supposed to be a child friendly place. Towards the back area where there's a bouncy house it reeked of sewage. My children got influenza the very next day after leaving this place, it is clearly not sanitized at all. Packed with germs. I wouldn't bother risking your children?s health to come here, it is fil

I really liked this place. All the employees were really attentive, friendly and helpful. The place was clean, the eating area is big and the food order was ready faster than I expected. The bathroom were clean all the time. The rides are enjoyable for kids and adults. I don't remember his name but one employee was very kind (he was skinny with curly hair) with my child that have autism. I didn't even have to mention it to him, he figured it out and when i was calling my child he told me ?I Just let him be

78 bucks for 3 kids to ride 3 rides. Worst ripoff in Chicago.

Kids had a great time. Love the indoor roller coaster the children didn't wanna leave. Great family fun

Lots of games and rides. Overall good experience. Little issue with their games machines while swapping the adventure card. Adventure card Recharge machine didn't work as well.

Amazing place where fantasy and fun come to life! They hace everything from arcade machines to even housing their own Rollercoaster! My son had the time of his life when he went here as a child, thus I thank the staff who work here. Highly recommend if you have kids and want to spend some time.

I like how clean and safe this place is to bring my toddler. It was a great choice for a rainy spring week day. It cost more than I want to spend all the time but I had a day off from work and wanted my daughter to do something fun.

Fun place for adults and kids! Purchase money on a card for arcade games- $.75-$2.00 a game and you can add on rides depending on what you are interested in. Dropped by on a Sunday afternoon was busy but didn't have to wait long for games/rides. Can also host birthday parties for kids! Will definitely bring my little one here again.

Good Food and fun activities for the kids and some adults lol

The food was good but the machines to win a price took all my son money. The machines should be a little more cheaper than what is was charging to play each game.

Kids loved it. Don't buy 10 rides... There are only 3 or 4 to get on.

I was pleasantly surprised at this place. After reading the reviews I wasn't expecting much of the staff or the location, but our party attendant was amazing. He was always near by if we needed something and he kept the party on a timely movement. The restrooms were clean and most importantly my daughter and her party guests had a great time!

closed an hour and 15 minutes early. closed bowling at 6 pm. don't do wrist bands on weekend which makes no sense at all. but they want u to pay 25$ for only 10 swipes for a ride. makes no sense at all. they really need to get it together. drove 35 min just to not be able to do anything so we left. none of this was on their website

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.”

Are pool tables in arcades still good in this modern age?

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.

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.
