Need a fun, clean, and friendly place to take your kids to burn off some energy? well look no further. Starlite skating, laser tag, indoor playground plus arcade is your place! Ask for Chris at the front he'll help you with your party plans or just general admission. He was really nice and patient with my toddler and son. Thank you will definitely be back. And shout out to the Dj !!! Music was fire!!! ????????
I was so impressed with how beautiful and clean the rink was?it really stood out the moment I walked in. The birthday party we attended was so well-organized and full of fun, and the kids had an absolute blast. The staff was friendly and made sure everything ran smoothly from start to finish, we didn't have to do anything!!!! Can't wait to come back for another birthday party!!!
We've used this location for a birthday party. Nice location. A+ for cleanliness. A+ for equipment. I would like to suggest that owner require management lead be much more interactive and function professionally as an active listener when there's a discrepancy. We booked a party this time, and definitely paid a pretty penny to be displaced due to scheduling issue, and food ordered for kids wasn't ready until time ended for the party room we didn't get. Customer Service(Deplorable) much improvement and staff
We had a Girl Scout event here. It was nice. The staff is helpful and friendly. The skating floor is well maintained. The rental skates suck. The other skaters were awesome to watch. Many were super good with lots of cool moves. The food was better than average for a skating rink and the prices were a little high but not as ridiculous as expected. I would definitely go back and my kids had a great time.
May 22nd me and my best friend accidentally found this place while driving back up from Savannah and Rasheed was absolutely the best! He helped us out and was a pleasure to talk and interact with! Rink was stellar and they even had skating aids (haven't skated in years and it was a great help). The establishment was clean, we were helped quickly, and the music playing was a 10/10. If I'm ever gonna be in McDonough again I'll be sure to visit again!!
After chaperoning a field trip, I am giving them 5 stars (even though we never go here because we don't skate). They were organized and friendly, and the kids had a lot of fun. For anyone not interested in skating (like us), they have arcade games, food, laser tag, and a playground. I've added some pictures to help you plan your next visit. They also have deals on a regular basis. I added a picture of the menu. I am not sharing pictures or videos of the children engaging in the activities in order to prote
Our family had a birthday celebration there last night and it was great! The staff was friendly and very accommodating to any of our needs. The kids had a blast and the music selection was good for anyone to listen to. Great vibes and lots of fun! Thanks again Kayla for being very attentive!
I had a wonderful experience at starlight in McDonough. The customer service was top-notch from start to finish. The environment was clean, welcoming, and well-organized, making my visit even more enjoyable. I especially want to give a huge shoutout to Jayla?she was absolutely amazing! Her professionalism, friendliness, and attention to detail really stood out. She made sure I felt taken care of every step of the way. I truly appreciate the level of care and service I received. Highly recommend!
I'm still in awe with the staff at Starlite McDonough. This was my first time throwing a party there and I couldn't be happier with my choice. The place was clean and organized. But my shoutout goes to the staff: Chris, Rasheed, Jayla and Jasiyah!! They were extremely helpful, and had a wonderful positive attitude!! The manager Kayla was very dedicated and was the whole time making sure things were running smoothly!! What an amazing place! I would give more than 5 stars if I could! I will definitely come ba
We attended the Once Upon A Time Princess Breakfast and it was a blast. The girls enjoyed seeing the Princesses and they had plenty of activities for them. I loved the stations set up and the activities were good for kids of all ages.
I would like to extend my heartfelt appreciation to Mr. Clayton for his exceptional efforts in ensuring the success of the recent party. His attention to detail and commitment to excellence made a significant difference. I highly recommend this venue for anyone considering hosting an event. ????????
Had a birthday party here and my daughter and her friends had a great time. GM and assistant GM were great and explained all the packages in detail and answered any questions we had. Our host we had assigned to us was also great and took care of everything we needed. Definitely would recommend.
Friend paid 110 dollars for three people for unlimited laser tag, drinks, and pizza. Turns out laser tag is like five minutes every half hour and we get our drinks in tiny styrofoam sippy cups. His skate had a screw poking out into his heel. Our drink cups smelled like mildew and the pizza was undercooked. Overall, not all it's made out to be. Feels scammy. Felt like I died and went to hell.
My daughter had a great hang out with her friends. We got a lot of food orders from the counter. Chris was pleasant & patient. We will be back. Also, The mgr is always nice and helpful!
I hate to write bad reviews but I believe in honest reviews. The new manager Kayla is so rude! My family goes regularly, few times a month. My husband does adult nights all the time and we've always had good experiences. We even had a birthday party there for my daughter and this most recent experience has made me not want to go back. I walked in and waited while NO ONE was at the front. I ended up walking in since i was only meeting my family and she chased me down about needing to be checked in and needin
Went this past weekend and a lovely young woman named Courtney was working the Laser tag area she is by far THE BEST EMPLOYEE I came across I'm giving HER COURTNEY 5 stars. Overall I'm giving the place 3 stars because it took a hour for me to get a pizza and hotdog. Kitchen seemed a bit disorganized. There was also another young lady with red braids I didn't get her name she was excellent as well I saw her working 3 different departments while I was there.
This venue exceeded our expectations; it was impeccably maintained and offered a welcoming atmosphere. Chris, our guide, was not only knowledgeable about the facility but also displayed remarkable professionalism throughout our visit. We're excited to return and try the laser tag experience next!
The vibe was awesome. The associate Jodi and Darnell was the best. I will come back because of them. The DJ was on point
What an amazing experience at Starlite. The manager Nicolas and his team were outstanding. Truly one of the best entertainment experiences I have ever had. We definitely will be back soon.
We had my niece Hailey and nephew Harley's birthday here. Nicolas (the manager) and his staff were so friendly, accomdating, and continually asked us, "Is there anything else we can do for you all?" If you wanna have the best party or just a good time on Saturday night, this is the place for you!!! Trust me, you WILL NOT be disappointed. Thank you again, Manager Nicolas and Staff!!!
My sons 10th Birthday was beyond amazing. Nick ensured my son had a great time and the host and other staff was very friendly. Nick the Manager is the reason we come every week. I wish you could pay extra for your kid to be displayed on the screen they have on rink floor.
This place is awesome! It was my first time here and everyone was so nice and helpful and friendly! Chris was very attentive and made the experience being awesome. Really recommend, be prepared to laugh and have a fun time.
Recently was here for a birthday party for my niece, the manager Nickolas was amazing... like the absolute best and our party host was attentive and friendly. 10/10 will be back to have a party for my son.
Now, I was going to give a 4 start due to the fact that they charge the same price even if you bring your own skates AND a $6 charge to use a locker. HOWEVER, the skate floor is one of the smoothest I've ever been on, the facility is clean, the DJ was DJing (my absolute favorite part), the arcade was giving mini Dave & Buster (with all the good arcade games), a menu that served a variety of foods, alcoholic beverage menu options, the art work is amazing and plenty of activity for the kids. The hours posted
This has been the best experience I've gotten in a long time. The kids enjoyed their time here. Also did a party and the staff was very nice and helpful. Had a situation and it was cleared and a solution was given asap. General manager Nicolas provided great customer service. The music and vibe was laid back. Seen a few incidents were kids were being rude and refusing to listen even saw a child try to touch the music in the booth and was told to leave because they turned it to something with cursing. Love t
I grew up in Riverdale, and my childhood skate rinks are either a used car lot or closed. I found Starlite online. I was so happy about the experience for the kids. They had a blast!
I had my daughters 10th birthday here and everything was perfect! From beginning to end ... The manager Nick was AMAZING!!!! I highly recommend this skating rink for your events!!! Adults or Kids!
Seems to be an okay place to go skating, as long as that is all you plan on doing. I could not have anticipated how much it would cost for this outing either. Costs aside, as the cost for everything has skyrocketed, this place just seems like a money pit. The arcade, if you could even call it that, was a sad affair. Most of the games weren't even on and half of the ones that were on didn't work as they were missing most of the parts required to play like basketballs or the skeeballs. They have a drink
A rip off for school night, kids over 10 not allowed on playground and my daughter does not skate. We could not pick an option of LaserTag only. We were forced to pay the same as if she was using all amenities. $25 per kid for school night is not a discount. Would?ve rather took them elsewhere where they could have utilized everything!!
I would've given them a five if it wasn't for the rude one rude girl at the concession stand. After sending 600.00 on a VIP Bday party and paying for extra party platter. My 7 year was told he'll have to pay 2.67 for a cup of ice and water. after mentioning the party she whisper to the other staff member and they both started laughing. How terrible and rude. I was very irritated. However our party host Taylor was the best. My kids had an AWESOME time. The D.J. was great.
What a fun experience for the family, parents skate for free with a paid child. You can throw a birthday party in the private rooms. They have different family nights where you can get all you can eat pizza. They have games for the kids, laser tag, a jungle gym and of course skating. It's a great time for all
Brad had great customer service , excellent front counter greetings , & helped my group thori fog out my staying at starlite . Definitely will be back to Brad DJ for us again .
Owner or manager (lady) was rude! She appeared to be unhappy with black patronage! Had several groups on that day with one person taking and cooking orders so food was delivered untimely! Owner/mgr witness left area and closed herself in office! ?? Had to address her to assist the young lady taking food orders as our bus was returning soon!
Decent location, but the prices are too high for skating and the rink is really small. The concession is also extremely high, they should also keep the area cleaner. The laser tag is a waste of money. The music was ok at best. Mask not required, ok staff but the manager could definitely work on her people skills. Decent parking. I will not return.
It was straight. My boys enjoyed themselves. However, if you have a child as a beginner skater, they have those walkers that you can rent for $6.98.
Omg. We had a great time. The manager especially Nick very nice, professional and patient. He handled everything by himself from the front to the back. He was very accommodating with a great attitude. I hope whenever I do come back he's here because good customer service is hard to find.
I took my kids on Saturday to have fun, the place was very clean and pleasant. Two employees definitely stood out to me, Shay and Nick Jr.! They both made sure our time there was very enjoyable! Thank you guys!
Had an amazing time at Starlite. The manager Nicolas and the guy Joe provided superb service. Great skating specials too. We will be taking the kids back before the summer is over!
Spend $140 dollar for ?unlimited laser tag?, ?unlimited food?, and ?unlimited drinks?. The laser tag is 3-4 minutes every half an hour, and the drinks is one small styrofoam cup. Is not worth your money, Dave and Busters is right down the road. Oh and the pizza was undercooked, I will be lucky if I don't get food poisoning and salmonella
Nick, Justice and the entire team were so great on yesterday?s visit!! Professional, Polite and something to do for all ages!! They truly made Easter for my 5 year old VERY special. Can't wait to visit again soon!!
Great customer service, clean, not overpacked, good music! The prices were decent and the children enjoyed it.
I took my grandkids, and they had a ball. A little pricey to get in and the food. But it was fun, very friendly staff
We celebrated my daughter?s birthday party at Starlite McDonough this past weekend. I was a little afraid because of some of the past reviews. However, I don't have any complaints. Our party room was ready upon arrival. Our party host, Raven, was super sweet and helpful. The manager, Nicolas Clayton, was phenomenal. He made sure everything with our party went smoothly and continuously checked on me throughout the day. The music was perfect, the food was good, and the bathrooms were super clean. I would defi
rude staff, over priced, and bad equipment. cost $20 dollars to skate and $5 more for a skate rental. also walkers cost an extra $6.50. if you get the extra pass you get lazar tag and access to the play ground for $32. id skip that. they dont watch the play ground so i wouldnt pay extra. in total i spent $170 for 3 kids and me and my wife to skate, and thats not including food and drinks. witch were extremely over priced.
Most of the staff was nice, manager was rude to myself and other customers. The music was disappointing. We paid 90 dollars to skate and none of the kids in the building were skating because the music wasn't even made when they were alive. I suggested a different playlist but the manager brushed it off. I would never come to this establishment again.
I paid for unlimited laser tag, pizza, and drinks for 3 people and it came out to $110 just for the "unlimited drinks" to be basically sippy cups, my skates had a screw poking out of it, and the "unlimited laser tag" happens every 30 minutes just to last like 5 minutes. Not worth it, please don't spend your money here just go to Dave and busters right down the road.
We had a great experience at this location all because of Ms.G she was amazing!!! She needs more staff! She does it All I must say. And she is very very very great with customer service!!!
Customer Service: 3 Stars Food:1 Star Activities:5 Stars Cleanliness:5 Negatives: I had a blast celebrating my little cousin's 10th birthday. Initially I was very upset due to the bad service I received when trying to enter the establishment. I stood at the front desk for at least 5 minutes before I was greeted and once I was somewhat greeted, she spoke to the people behind me. I informed her that I'm standing at her front desk and her response was "Oh I'm sorry. Where are your children?" That was irreleva
It is so bad i want to give even 0 BUT THATS NOT POSSIBLE SO I GIVE YOU A ONE! 0/10 do not recommend would not try again. Went here for a field trip they were rude and the food was disgusting. Not to mention it was hot and they sucked.. DO NOT GO HERE!!
We booked a combined birthday party for my son and neice. All the kids enjoyed themselves skating and playing on the playground. The adults had fun as well, drinking and skating and celebrating!! We'll be back!
Came on Sunday 12/29/24, the music was awful, paid $190 for 2 adults,1 toddler,4 kids,and 4 skate rentals. Then, I paid $14 for two skate walkers. Lockers are $6 to rent. If you come here,make sure it's a Wednesday. Still bring about $300 to $500 to really enjoy yourself.
Wonderful environment and staff! The GM Nicholas is awesome!
The workers are the best! 10/10 We loved Brad. His customer service was great.
Very nice staff and enviorment. God bless the manager and his professionalism with my children's birthday. Nick made it all go well in such a demure way. I highly recommend coming here the food was great, the music was awesome and the skating rink is so much fun. Wow just wow. I gice them their 10's across the board.
My experience was great. The staff was amazing especially Nicholas the manager!! Highly recommend going here. will return.
Chris at the skate rental counter is very helpful. Made sure me and my boys were good. We appreciate it.
Music is super low!! You can hear everyone conversations! Skating is all about music and fun not social hour need a better music selection and staff that love what they do. Customer are using ear pods to listen to they own music smh
My 3 year old grandson loved it. He said he never wants to go to Chuckie Cheese again. He woke up Sunday morning and said let go to the skating rink. I told my daughter that this is the best skating rink I seen. That you should have a girl night out for my granddaughter.
Been skating professionally for over 20 years and his is not only the worst Rink we have ever skated at, it is poorly managed with the Staff including the manager being unprofessional it seems the manager treats the young employees unfairly. Pocketing money and taking tips meant for the workers. I will be contacting the Better business Bureau and filing a formal complaint.
Great family atmosphere. The manager is awesome, very friendly and helpful!! I would recommend this to anyone who is planning a birthday party or just want to come out and skate with family and friends. The music is up to date and kid friendly.
Nick and the entire staff are amazing. My kids had wonderful time the pizza the music and fun house just amazing I was able to relax and watch the kids play Thank you so much for an amazing evening.
Chris the cashier at the food counter was cool, good customer service and a pretty nice dude
We normally go to the Stockbridge location but came to the McDonough location today, so glad that we did! The manager on duty ( Nicolas) was super nice and accommodating! Love that he interacted with the customers even got on the floor to skate! The facility was super clean, including the bathrooms! Food was hit and delicious and the cashier was very helpful when ordering! We enjoyed our experience today and will definitely be back!
My daughter had her 7th birthday party at the McDonough location and the facility was EVERYTHING! The general manager Nicholas was the absolute BEST and was so accommodating. We will definitely be back!
Asia and Mike got this thing going very well. They were friendly and kind staff. Made my daughter's birthday!
This has been the best experience! Friendly staff! The manager, Mr. Nick, took amazing care of our party! This was just the best turn out! The staff made sure we were comfortable and they were very patient as our party was large! I would definitely recommend this facility for birthday parties!
My son?s 5th birthday was here on Christmas Day. All of the staff were exceptionally nice, especially to be at work on a holiday! I would recommend.
Great looking place. Nice concession stand. I went on their adult Sip & Skate night. I would give 5 stars but it was 70's and 80's music on the playlist...I would have enjoyed more current music thrown into the mix.
Shout out to Nicholas and his Staff! We held my Daughter?s 7th Birthday party here and had an amazing experience. The Staff was very accommodating and over delivered with the best Customer Service.
Great place for families, date night, solo outings, or just because. There weren't many people inside which made the experience even better ??
This is the best skating rink/ family fun center, me and the kids had an amazing time. The management and employees were very nice we will be returning!
The staff is amazing!!! Big shouts out to Nick the manager, Laila that helped me at the front desk and get checked in, Kailee my sweet party host, Chris best laser tag directer, and last but not least Ty on the skates and prizes
My daughter?s birthday party was absolutely awesome. I had several conversations with the manager, Nicolas Clayton. It started with a conversations for a disable family member to attend the party. He worked with me and made sure we were taken care of as soon as we walked in the door. He checked on us throughout the party to make sure we were satisfied. When we walked in, we were greeted by KJ. He was very nice and respectful to all my guest. He answered all our questions and if he couldn't answer, he got us
Did not have a very good experience. This is the only skating rink in Georgia that plays one style of music. Also paid around $80 for me and my family skate and was told that the music cannot be changed because this was a dance team spirit night which is fine but also made the entire floor clear for the dance team to perform. Maybe should?ve said all this before admission and wouldn't have had to pay so much. Will not be coming back. I pay way less elsewhere and can enjoy myself.
Very pleasant and clean skating rink! The music was jamming and the food is the bomb! My son and niece really enjoyed themselves.
Every time we visit it's always a great time. The manager Nick, and his crew are efficient, helpful, and provide a fun family experience.
Ok so my girls had a blast. The facility is amazing, clean, big, but.....DJ Malcolm ruined it for me. He sang on about every song. Every slide show photo was of him or his merch even the group photos all had him as the focal point. The music was not consistant it was either obnoxiously loud or faded to the point you couldnt hear it, there was no in between. Overall my girls had a good time, in the future if they hold anymore princess events we will probably attend.
My granddaughter?s 12 th birthday was awesome. Everything was perfect from starting to finish. Nicolas the manager made sure everything was perfect. Serenity was attentive to every aspect of the party. The guys at the window was great making sure everyone was in compliance with their waiver and wristbands. Needless to say the party was a hit and we will be back. It was a wonderful experience when family travelled from Louisiana, Minnesota, Nevada, and California to enjoy this wonderful midstone with family
I love Starlite McDonough! Fun atmosphere and so much to do. The staff is always so friendly and professional
The only reason this place doesn't get 5 stars is because the prices are a bit higher than I'd like but I understand the cost of everything is going up these days. I DO feel like there should be a separate fee for entry and for skate rental. $20 just to enter on an adult night when you have to pay for drinks still is a bit much. Overall I love this place and so do my kids! It's very clean and the manager Nicholas was top tier!! Great customer service and very accommodating. Me and my family will definitely
I took my grandkids there to skate they had fun on the skates. But for the money I spent there they should have had more for them to do with the older kids. But over all I gave them a 65.
Very fun, great staff!!! Drink are 10/10
Nicolas is great! The staff were super accommodating and Serenity gave us amazing customer service for our family reunion. We will definitely be back!
Chris was amazing? very friendly and top tier customer service.
The rink is okay. The last couple times I've been here they always played this slow sappy music, that you normally wouldn't skate to. They tried playing some Caribbean music too but it really wasn't my thing. I also don't like that it's $23 a person on Saturdays, even when you bring your own skates (which I feel is a ripoff). And the teenagers that come here are so reckless it's hard to enjoy skating because they do stupid stuff.
Great place staff friendly and more than helpful clean place good food prices are good for family packages. Laser tag big indoor playground. Was not crowded.
This location was amazing. Manager Nicolas Clayton was so real. Hospitality was so amazing. A must visit location for the kids.
Kids had a blast. I couldn't believe how clean it was. Manager was on his job.
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.
