We've enjoyed visiting here once in awhile from 40 minutes away. The prices are reasonable for activities like Miniature Golf and Bowling. A good number of things to do for a few hours and normally only really busy during birthday party days in non-summer months. The workers are helpful and pleasant. Our last visit wasn't the best. Everything seemed to be malfunctioning in some way. The bowling lane we were in wouldn't register one of the pins so you could never get a strike or a spare. About half the arca
Came all the way from Massachusetts and it was totally worth it!! My kids loved it. Super fun place and lots of things to do and have fun. Prices are very reasonable and they have good packages as well. The staff were super friendly. One of the young guy?s (white with long hair) was super super sweet and helpful with my boys. Definitely coming back and definitely recommend it for the whole family
Husband, son(20) and I had a ton of fun here. Mini golf very cute and even challenging at some points. One of the best we've been to...and we've been to so many. Bowling and axe throwing also a lot of fun. Screamed my head off on the VR Rollercoaster. Place is up to date and clean Manager, Debbie was on top of everything. Wish this place was by us!! Highly recommend!!
Awesome birthday party for my daughter yesterday. Loved this place and all the kids were having a blast. The decor and black lights are super cool and the staff were extremely friendly and helpful. Our party host Caley was amazing and she was so on task and thoughtful. You can tell that the staff like their jobs and enjoy being around kids. Would totally recommend having a party there. Can't wait to go back!
The Cave is great. It had a lot to keep kids and adults busy. Laser Tag was fun! We hosted a party for my 7 yr old and they all had a blast. Elijah was our assigned party host, and he did a fabulous job. He was very professional and attentive throughout the event. The Cave does not sell food, but they order pizza locally for the party. The plates and other supplies were provided.
Dorothy and her team are truly amazing. We hosted my son's PTO 7th grade social there and it was so great. Its so clean and there are so many great activities from Laser tag, VR racing, glow in the dark mini golf, arcade games, bowling and even karaoke , The staff was so accommodating and went beyond what we expected. The party rooms upstairs are not basic rooms, they are decorated beautifully and very welcoming. Perfect place to have a party or just with friends or family!! The kids had a blast and The Ca
Friends and I went for a little birthday mini golf and axe throwing. It was easy and seamless process getting out ticket for golfing and axe throwing. All the staff were super sweet and attentive. But I would like to shout out one of the staff members who really stood out for my group and I. Eli, was the attendant, that help use out in axe throwing. Not only was he super knowledgeable in what he was doing and super helpful, but he was in general a pleasure having conversation with but also the encouragemen
We've made several stops here with our kids and their friends. They also leave with big smiles on their faces! My older daughter and I did some axe throwing which was fun too?. Overall a cool place with mini golf, a ropes course, axe throwing, Virtual games and classic video games?..cant forget the laser tag too!!
Mini golf was a lot of fun here. Laser tag looks very cool here, trying that out next weekend (update to come.) the bumper cars is a bit small for adults and teens, but young kids under 12 would probably enjoy it. The VR machines/games look very funny and everyone that tried them sounded like they had a blast. The arcade area is a bit disappointing, but has a few great games. Biggest downside was the air hockey table eating the puck and not giving it back repeatedly. 3 of the games weren't functioning prope
We had our son's 5th birthday party at The Cave, and it was nothing short of perfect. The party went so smoothly, staff was kind and well equipped to handle a bunch of 5 years olds! You can really tell the entire staff and upper management care deeply about their customers. We will absolutely be back again soon!
First time at this venue and won't be my last. Mini golf course was quite enjoyable. Josh and Denny were very hospitable and welcomed my many inquiries. It's always admirable to see people enjoying their jobs. Thank you, guys!
We visited the cave for a company event and loved the place! Super flexible and the activities were fun! I liked the laser tag, the two floors layout is great! And of course the axe throwing! Everything is clean and in great condition. Carley and Jeffrey took great care of our group. We will surely come back!
My friends took me here for my birthday and we had the best time! We went downstairs to do axe throwing and Eli who was the attendant was amazing! Great vibe and so much fun!
Just celebrated my twin 7 year old?s birthday here and it was a marvelous experience! From when we arrived staff were phenomenal. They were at the door awaiting our arrival with a cart to help us with the items we brought in. Our party host, Elemiah and Jacey, were so very helpful and they engaged the kids from start to finish. All guest had a blast.
I visited The Cave a few weeks ago and my friends and I had a great time! The karaoke room, especially was fun; we loved that a recording of our singing was sent to our email, so we're able to look back at it! Definitely going to be back!
denny (or danny), anthony, and josh were extremely helpful. showed me and my friends a good time while keeping it professional. i will definately come back and will definately reccomend the cave to other friends.
The mini bowling was really fun, although some of the machines didn't work. I do enjoy the mini golf course, it was fun to move through each hole. The arcade is a bit limited, so I am interested in seeing how they can add more exciting games. I will admit the staff didn't always look helpful or interested in doing their job, as many were having private conversations while things were getting out of whack there. I think families and young kids can enjoy this place. You can have a day's worth of fun here.
MYA was AMAZING the Team at the cave is super efficient and friendly. Mya was on top of the party, set up, feeding the kids, getting extra stuff and checking in with me if we're ready to move to the next activity. Best of all everything in the room was collected for me at the end and loaded INTO MY CAR ???? The kids loved it but I think I did more. Parties at the cave are perfect for parents to enjoy the kids and not running around.
Celebrated a 12 year old birthday here with 2 of their friends. We got the package of 4 games and one $30 arcade card to share between them. They had a blast and were busy for atleast 2 hours. We did two rounds of laser tag and a couple of the VR games downstairs. They loved playing air hockey and the photo booth in the arcade. They had so much fun. The staff was also great - made my child's birthday special and very helpful.
I had my son's 6th birthday party there back in November. I can not say enough good things about the staff and the facility. They handled everything. They set up, cleaned up. Even handed out the cupcakes I brought in seperate from the package. They brought the gifts to my car and handed out the favors. The kids all had so much fun and Elemiah was beyond fantastic and was so great with the kids. Kept them moving and together and made it so much fun for them. This was my son's 1st kids party and it was amazin
Very awesome esthetics. Glow lights everywhere. A lot of things to do in 3 floors. 2 floor laser tag, small arcade, rope coarse, mini golf, party rooms. Really fun!
Amazing staff, Latisha was a great host and management was very helpful! My son was beyond happy with his laser tag birthday! The renovated space is very cool, open layout and the arcade is awesome. I highly recommend birthday parties here! Total bang for your buck!
Went for a birthday party. They do it in a really fun and different way. Set blocks of time in each region of the building. Very clean bathrooms. Helpful and friendly staff.
We went to a birthday party there got to say what a cool place. There's a lot of these places popping up around the area but the cool thing about this place was they had the bowling and also the staff for the birthday party. She was amazing So amazing that my wife and I decided we're going to have our son's party there. Good job hiring the right person to run a child's birthday party. She was engaged. She had all the kids having a fun time and not bored at all. How could you at that place but she was so fun
What an amazing place to kill some time and have fun! My boyfriend and I came here to have a lil date night with the axe throwing and played some arcade games as well! Christine helped us when we noticed something wasn't right with our card, amazing customer service !!!!
Fantastic place to take the family. They have tons of things to do including indoor mini golf, arcade, bumber cars, lazertag and much more. We will definetly be back
Used to love this place when it was Monster golf but let me tell you how down hill this place went. Played mini golf and couldn't see the holes as the lights weren't turned on and when I asked why they weren't turned on the manager said they were on back order for the past two months. They got rid of all the cool black light characters I.e. the clown. It's like playing mini golf in a parking lot with one light turned on. Furthermore the last hole is just a black wall now which made me wonder why they are c
I took my son on election day to get out of the house, and honestly, even I had a lot of fun. The place was pretty empty but I suppose that's to be expected on a Tuesday afternoon when everyone is normally working, so we did have the place mostly to ourselves. We played mini golf, laser tag, and VR. Definitely a fun place for both adults and children. Will come back again.
Debbie is SO nice and incredibly helpful! The whole staff was wonderful, attentive and customer friendly! We will definitely be back!
Rang in the new year with the littles at the noon years eve bash and it didn't disappoint!!! The staff was so attentive and fun that the kids asked to come back again next year!!! Great job guys and thanks for having us
Big props to Danny Anthony and Josh guys were super nice and gave us a good time
I went through the ropes course, located above the miniature golf, as part of a team building event. Our group spent about 1.5 hours and we had a great time. The staff was friendly and very accommodating. I plan to go back with family.
Our company is always on the hunt for great team-building venues, and The Cave in Bethel, CT, was absolutely perfect! From start to finish, the experience exceeded our expectations. We got to enjoy mini golf, bowling, and arcade games like air hockey and basketball. They even have axe throwing and a ropes course, which we didn't get to try but are definitely on our list for next time! The party room setup was ideal for our group, and the food was ready and waiting for us since we pre-selected the menu. A h
My granddaughter and I had so much fun!! We did the 4 session card and had a blast. Definitely recommend this place for anyone
The Cave was an awesome time for a 9th birthday party. The kids had a BLAST. The ambiance is so cool and laser tag is two floors. Our host, Brandon, handled a ton of crazy kids like a champ. Took care of everything, soup to nuts. Was the easiest party ever. Parents were also able to join in on the fun. Well worth it. Would definitely go back & highly recommend!!!
We had a private event here with about 50 people (adults) - everyone loved it/had a total blast. Staff was great and accommodating as well. We will be back.
This place is a gem. Clean, friendly, organized! It was a great experience. So happy because it wasn't dirty and run down!
We just had our 6 yr old twins birthday party their this past weekend and it was AMAZING! The staff was attentive, it was clean, organized and such an amazing space. This place needs to be more well known! There is so much to do and its affordable. I highly recommend bringing your kids! The laser tag mini golf, bumper cars and virtual reality machines are a must. 10/10 for sure!
Great thanks to Anthony Danny and Josh they were very patient helpful and made the experience 100 times better
Wonderful experience!!!!!!! Great night with the family ! Landen and Josh were great with our kids and made sure they had a great time . Made us moms at ease knowing our kids were safe under their care ! 5+ STARS
My twin boys had their birthday party there this morning. I really cannot say enough about this place and the ultra nice staff. Excellent in all aspects not to mention there are several other attractions like this one in the area. Not one of them hold a candle to THE CAVE. It used to be a monster mini golf that has been bought and greatly expanded upon. Stop looking elsewhere and just take your kids here. You're not going to find a better time or value for your money. Excellent. Excellent. Excellent.
Danny, Josh and Anthony were a major help. Would recommend and will be visiting again.
Awesome place for kids, even adults. Staff very helpful and friendly. Very reasonable for 4-hours. Very clean place. Minigolf, laser tag, rope climbing, bowling, ax throwing, bumper cars,and arcade!!!
We had so much fun at the Cave! Ages ranged from 3 to adult and everyone had a blast :) The staff were so accommodating and really went above and beyond to ensure an amazing day! It took us an hour to get there but was really worth it! Would definitely recommend!
Went to Princess Event with my three granddaughters and they loved it. They got tiaras, make your own cupcakes, snack and drink as well as arcade time to play as well as meeting The Princess Jasmine and Princess Belle. Great price for a great time. Would definitely do again.
We held a birthday party and had an excellent experience. Our hosts were amazing and all of our guests had an awesome time. The party rooms are large and can definitely accommodate a large group. We're planning to come back for more rounds of laser tag.
We took our grandchildren (11 and 8) to the Cave during spring break. The place quickly filled with happy children and their various guardians, but the place is very well organized and surprisingly large enough to accommodate the crowd. Our girls enjoyed the arcade, the mini-golf, the laser tag, the bumper cars, and the mini-bowling. Any problems we're quickly attended to by the staff, especially Kristin and Kimberly, who addressed our issues with smiles. Running a business like this is not cheap, and you
Great fun for the whole family. Mini golf and arcade are super fun. We haven't tried the laser tag or rope course but they look fun. Can get a little crowded at times but for the most part people are patient about waiting for their turn.
We had a great time at Monster Golf. We did the putt Pitt and lazer tag. Even on a busy day with a lot if people, they were able to keep play moving. They dont have any food but there is a vending machine.
First time here. Nice spot. Josh and Denny were top notch helpful.
Absolutely terrible experience. The place is cool with the black lights and stuff but BE AWARE they advertise everything and have absolutely NOTHING!!! This place is advertised to be cool and we drove an hour and 45 minutes from Massachusetts and the only thing open was Mini Golf and arcade games! Everytime we asked to do something (ie. Axe throwing, food, lazier tag, LITERALLY EVERYTHING THEY ADVERTISED) and i wish i were joking but we asked for axe throwing, laser tag, the rope walk and bumper cars and ea
I was at The Cave with my daughter for the Princesses & Cupcakes event a couple of weeks ago and I was so impressed but the quality and organization that I found there. Everything was superb and my daughter had a blast. I definitely recommend and will be back in the future.
From out of state and needed a rainy day activity with the kids. We drove 45 minutes to this awesome place! It was so much fun. We brought a group of 9, 5 adults and 4 kids, and everyone had fun. Bowling, put put, VR, arcade games? it was really a great time. The rope course was not open but there was so much to do we didn't miss it. The prices were fair and the owner was such a sweetheart! Would definitely go back!
This place is the best! We had such a great time at my son's birthday party! I highly recommend it for birthday parties! And Elijah, our party host, was so great with the kids and the parents! Fun for kids of all ages, and even us adults (we got on the bumper cars... OMG so much fun!) Now that we found this place we will definitely be back!
Really fun! They have a great atmosphere and the laser tag is really awesome. Not too bad for pricing on activities.
Nice place for kids to enjoy games and celebrate their birthday. Well maintained and friendly staff
Mini golf is interesting. Laser tag is fun as well . It is a 2 level laser tag. Nice place for adults and kids all.
The Cave in Bethel, CT is a hidden gem! With a cozy atmosphere, fun games, and a welcoming staff, it's the perfect spot for a good time. A special shoutout to Dorothy for her exceptional service?she made our experience truly memorable. Highly recommend!
We had two birthday parties for our 8 & 6 year old girls. Each experience went off without an issue and the staff took extra steps to communicate effectively with us before the party, in addition to making the day of fun, engaging and seamless. As for what the kids will do: -they run around in the minigolf area taking as many shots as they can while the DJ plays music; mini-golf area is expansive and parents can keep tabs from outside the field. -extended laser tag game. not sure the capacity but we had 1
Recently had my daughters 10th birthday here. Really cannot emphasize enough how great the staff and facility was. The staff went above and beyond were extremely kind and patient with a fairly large group of children. Highly recommend.
Recently had a birthday party of our son. Can't say enough how happy we are with The Cave. Managers Dorothy & Debbie were wonderful and gracious. Staff assisting with our party was spot on. Great experience and will be returning again soon!!
I normally post for mom & pop restaurants. Recently I saw an advertisement on a menu in a diner. I stopped by to check out the place, There are three floors, accessibility and an elevator, free parking. It's just a great place for birthdays or just a great time. Available in the 1st floor mini golf, arcades, downstairs virtual games, bumper cars, bowling, and more. Top floor which is separate is the high rope course, OMG, thrill Seekers! I decided to make my child's birthday party in this location. The bes
Visited the cave and played some mini golf and laser tag. What a cool experience. Everything in the building was glow in the dark with the help of black lights. Laser tag was a blast. They also have axe throwing, mini bowling, and some VR attractions. Axe throwing does require a reservation. Don't be afraid to call and be greeted by a friendly rep who can book you an axe lane or answer any other questions you might have. Defiantly with checking out.
Wow, I'm surprised. I was trying to give this place the benefit that maybe they just opened but these reviews go back pretty far. I took my 6 year old on a Saturday. IT SMELLED TERRIBLE. Every time you went up on down in the stairs you were hit with the most horrid smell of sewage. The staff has no idea what they are doing, the manager who is in charge of the staff that is mostly 16-18 is rude interrupted the young boy several times while we were trying to ask questions and pay to tell him things that coul
I helped host a work outing at The Cave and it was absolutely wonderful. The staff was beyond accommodating, the food was delicious and there were so many amazing games to play! The venue was clean as can be and every game was functioning properly. Would ABSOLUTELY host another event here!!
Lots of fun for adults and kids a like. I go on dates or take my kiddo.
Went with family and little guy had a blast! Renielle was awesome ! He was very helpful and fun at laser tag kept us laughing watching my father try to drive the VR experience!! We enjoyed our time it was clean and fun Will deff be back
I had my daughter's birthday party here and it was amazing!! Well worth every single penny! I didn't have to do a thing besides show up. Angel our party host did everything we needed! Highly recommend!! Update! I received a phone call from The Cave about a gift card left behind (birthday gift), and it was mailed out to my hime the next day!
Super rad place! On a whim my boyfriend and I came here and we were pleasantly surprised to how awesome it was inside and out we totally had a blast doing mini golf and games!!
Had a private party there on Halloween and everyone had so much fun. The staff was great. The lazer tag, mini golf, bowling, and arcade games were all awesome. We even had a nice big room to put all of our things. All of my friends keep asking when we will do it again (and we are in our 30?s!)
The Cave was a fantastic experience! We had a great time and there is a lot to do even with the place being busy. The employees are friendly and accommodating. The new artwork is a huge upgrade too. For reference, our group was in our 20-30s with kids around 8. I highly recommend this place!
Best place to throw a birthday party! Staff was very friendly and helpful and kids had a blast playing laser tag bumper cars and bowling!!
Just came here with my girlfriend, we chose the 4 attractions package which only costed 22$ each and you have various activities to choose from. During our experience the staff was extremely helpful, Jeffrey being one of them was very professional with helping us set up the bowling experience , he is an excellent employee with great customer service, very attentive and active in the establishment. I highely recommend this place for all ages.
Debbie was very accommodating and kind. I highly recommend this mini golf place.
josh and denny were great! made my experience a 10/10
??HORRIBLE PLACE?? If I could give this place a negative 1000 I absolutely would. I will never be visiting again nor recommending anyone I know to come here unless they want a headache and horrible time. Not sure where to begin. A group of us wanted to try this place because it was new to us, we came for the unlimited three hours, Two of our cards weren't even registered properly so an hour in after staff finally paying attention, us not getting to do anything me and my spouse were told to go wait in the li
Way overpriced arcade games and not many options. Many don't work and prizes/tickets are heard to earn. We eneded up just blowing through the money we put on the cards to be able to leave. The VR was not all working but the ones that did were cool. Lasertag and bowling were fun and well run. Sometimes it's hard to find a staff member. We were told that they recently raised their arcade prices.
Went with my grandkids, great-grandkids, daughter, son in law, grandson in law and was greeted by a very nice lady named Debbie! We had a marvelous time there! Well worth it. Laser tag, bumper cars and the virtual were all great. I enjoyed the mini bowl lol Having my granddaughters birthday there because besides the fun, Debbie kept everything in check. Thank you!
Fun for everyone! I'm an adult and my friends go an play arcade games all the time. Plus they play 80s music. Can't go wrong on a rainy day!
Staff was accommodating and the manager Debbie was very kind to my family and I. My 5 year old son loves coming here for the bowling, games, and mini golf. We'll definitely be back again and highly recommend!
Place is nice and really cool. Clean as well. Prices are very reasonable. Staff is horrible. Front desk lady acts like TSA agent. As we were walking in she was snapping at some kids....get the parents, not your job to yell. Then we bought specifics tickets to certain events, she THEN told us after that those events are closed due to bday parties. The staff is constantly present which is good, but they all seem stressed and overworked. Staff constantly gave conflicting orders. Most likely will not return s
The place is really fun. Indoor mini golf, laser tag, small ropes course, mini bowling, vr games, bumper cars, and ax throwing. The price for the package was reasonable for an unlimited 3 hour pass. My main complaints were that it was very disorganized, and there was no water available for that period of time. Each activity had a staff member assigned who seemed to disappear for 10 or 15 minutes without explanation. You had to constantly search for a staff person to start the next activity. They had a vendi
Our kids love this place. We've taken then a few times now and will continue to take them. It's never really crowded so it's perfect. Mini golf gets a little congested but again, not enough to destroy the experience. Lazer tag is also fun for the kids. Small safe area for the kids to run around in.
We had the best to time!! Fun interactive quizzes from the DJ's!
Small miniature golf course but very fun, love the decorations. The staff was very welcoming and offer us great service. The prices and very affordable. Great place to take your kids for a birthday party or even a good get away for fun. Oh yeah there is alot of parking.
In town visiting and took my sons over to the cave for the afternoon. Awesome glow effects, friendly staff and good fun. Laser tag was a blast. My kids loved it! We'll definitely be going back.
"I had an amazing experience at The Cave in Bethel, CT. David and the staff member were incredibly helpful and made the axe throwing activity super fun. I highly recommend visiting The Cave with friends for a fun afternoon. It's a great place to hang out and enjoy some quality time with friends while trying out exciting activities like axe throwing. Definitely a must-visit spot for anyone looking for a good time!"
Highly recommend visiting this location! From the staff to ALL the wonderful games they have, it is simply amazing!! The vibe is really homie. Everyone is extremely friendly here including other patrons. I made new friends easily. I continue to come back anytime I'm in town. It's one of my personal favorites to share with family and friends. A special thank you to the owner for always keeping the fun going!! Many more memories to come!
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.”
Yes, virtual reality (VR) games in arcades are a top attraction in 2025! Titles like Beat Saber and Half-Life: Alyx deliver immersive thrills with cutting-edge headsets, motion tracking, and responsive controllers. High-resolution displays and spatial audio create heart-pounding experiences, from slashing rhythms to battling zombies. Arcades feature multiplayer VR zones and tournaments, fostering lively communities. VR booths are regularly packed, proving their captivating, next-level gameplay makes them a must-try arcade experience.
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.
