Flying Lap has knowledgeable staff and provides such a neat experience. The pricing is well worth it also! They accommodated for my 8 year old brother and he had such a blast! Will definitely be back soon :)
Had a great time here. The guys were very helpful and friendly. Motion and non motion racing available, I went with the motion enabled iracing option. So fun. Only downside is my back and lats are sore from tensing up so much while I was driving. Absolute blast and will be back again with friends soon.
This place is awesome, I highly recommend. This was a first car simulation experience for my teenager and he absolutely loved it! Jason was so kind and knowledgeable getting him all set up with his dream car on a track he could manage. The price was really reasonable. Go check it out. It was well worth our stop!
Awesome experience! The racing simulator was an awesome for me (the racing obsessed one) and my 2 friends, we were able to race together and had way too much fun! But where Flying Lap really stood out was their customer service. I didn't get his name unfortunately but the guy who helped us was awesome! He thoroughly explained his recommendations, got us fully set up with our own settings (two of us did manual, and one automatic) and was even able to give us Mustangs, which is always my favorite since I lov
Stumble across this place after lunch next door on Easter Sunday. The owner was super down to earth & friendly. He showed us all the games he got! I think it's a great place for young teenagers or just car enthusiasts who love to link cars and race! Definitely will be back!
Had an amazing experience here. Totally forgot the dudes name but he took the time to really show us how to play and made the experience really smooth for me and my friends . I am a terrible driver and I'm glad I paid to find that out. The technology inside is amazing. I rode the motion level 2 as was recommended. The motion in the seat adds a whole lot to the experience. If I lived in the area I would def be back but I guess I'll have to build my own.
Flying Lap is amazing! There were six in our group that were all connected and talking to one another, it was so much fun to choose different cars and race each other. Highly recommend. Jason and Taylor were both so knowledgeable with great customer service to make it even better.
Owners are awesome. There were some issues but they were completely understanding, we had a compensation, played for a lot longer the expected and all and all had an amazing time. Would go again!
Me and my buddy just went to this place on Friday and it was amazing. The guy that works there I forgot his name but he was super cool and friendly. We had so much fun we extended our time an extra hour to keep playing!
I had an amazing time at the race track, and it wouldn't have been the same without Jason. He was an absolute delight, going above and beyond to help me with all aspects of my setup, including making sure everything was properly lubricated for smooth operation?he even had some Vaseline on hand just in case! His attention to detail, coupled with his friendly and knowledgeable attitude, really enhanced the experience. Between the adrenaline of the race and the energizing Red Bull he offered me, I felt unstopp
Incredible place to bring some friends and spend some time! Games are immersive and affordable, with discounts for how big your party is. There's even a nintendo switch to play on while you're waiting! Definitely worth a visit
I took my son on a Saturday for some fun. It was way better than that. It an experience for him. He loved it. Jacob, the very nice guy who was there, knew everything about his equipment. Literally everything. I thought that made a world of difference. Great place. Great equipment. Great experience.
Fun, laid back Vr racing. The owner Jason was super nice and informative. I personally had not done simulated racing but even as a beginner I eventually started to get the hang of it. We started with the ?more basic? racing set up since all the motion ones were in use but even then it was so cool and fun and interactive! We would definitely come back!
Nothing short of a blast. If you are more casual a quick 15-30 min is fun to do. For hardcore racers an hour is going to be your minimum. The time just flies and its a fun place. Will definitely be a regular here
Absolute blast of a time. Jason if ur reading this, u made the experience that much more man! Def coming back. Xoxo wolf daddy -trigger
Quality equipment, fair pricing, and an owner that knows how to make sure you get the most out of your experience. I went with my wife and daughter, they were able to drive supercars through Los Angeles canyons on the level 1 rigs and chase each other around, while talking on their headsets. The owner gets everything set up for you and noticed immediately that the Force Feedback on my daughters machine was too much for her strength. He hopped in and fixed it, she had a great time and I don't imagine this le
My coworker and I came by to kill some time on a day off and had an absolute blast. Neither of us had ever done anything like this before, but Jason hooked us up quick and easy. Big recommendation to anyone.
My 32 & 35 yr old sons and I had a totally awesome time today on some very expensive full motion sim racing and flying rigs here today. Ton's of fun, ya got to do this.
This place is great! I had never done this before but he explained everything and gave us plenty of time to learn. We did the racing simulator and it was super fun! There's a lot of options for difficulty so great for beginners!
Me and my son went and had a blast. Was going to go for a couple hours ended up staying 4. Definitely coming back
The owner was super helpful getting my 4 year old son setup so he could experience the full motion simulator. The equipment is top notch. Will be coming back for myself and bringing friends so we can compete.
The owner is a great guy; he walked my girlfriend and me through everything and made sure we were comfortable. Prices were very fair, and the whole place had good vibes. 10/10 would recommend.
Staff is extremely friendly, has a variety of games include Microsoft Flight simulator and a few racing games to race friends. 10/10
Super fun and awesome experience and great pricing and the owner was helpful with showing us how to operate and mainly how to have fun will be coming again
Super fun me and a buddy of mine went got to race each other a great time The owner was super nice very very helpful Will definitely go again. thank you for a great experience
Had a little group guys night out and had a fantastic time. Jason did an awesome job getting us set up and explaining things for our first time there, and we had a blast. Definitely will be back!
I went here with my family in hopes of finding a fun new activity to do, and it did not disappoint! Even without any experience in simulated racing, Jason walked us through all there was to know and even compromised for my mother's motion sickness by adjusting the rig to her liking. Genuine guy and an immersive experience!
We wanted something different to do while we were in town visiting our daughter in college. We had a blast. Jason was so helpful and patient with us and even played with us. Which made the experience even more fun. We will definitely come back.
Super fun Games for super cheap, Staff is really nice I really recommend for a fun times!
Had a great time. The owner is a super cool dude and wants to help out in anyway possible. Highly recommend coming here and trying it out.
From being the street racing felon you were always destined to be to the wanna be Stig you already are. This place has you covered. VR and motion simulators to more casual wheel and pedal setups. Being able to race around the tracks I've grown up seeing when I have no feasible way of actually setting foot near the track was a blast and I will be a repeat customer. 10/10 would race again
If you are into SIM Racing, you have got to check this out! So much fun. My 16 year old and I had a great time racing In the motion rigs. Great experience!
The owner Jason is the goat! He help me and my friend out and we had a blast. I definitely will be going back and recommending it to all my friends. He was very informative and gave great tips for hitting the tracks!
Took my son for his Birthday and he had a blast! Will definitely be back! Jason was awesome!
It was my first time using a sim and the employee was really helpful lots of fun and inexpensive 10/10 over all
If you're interested in sim racing or are just a casual race fan this is the place for you. Jason was super helpful with setting up the system for my father and I as newbies. I look forward to going back many more times, we spent 2.5 hours and I felt like I was just scratching the surface with all of that time being spent on the level 1 setups, can't wait to be back soon!
It's a blast! This place has the most welcoming, comfortable atmosphere for you to enjoy the simulation experience. Jason and his assistant are the reason! Within minutes, you'll feel like you're hanging with a couple friends. They're experts at dialing in a custom fit for you with the equipment & controls (wicked cool setups btw). It's a sweet ride! ???????
The owner was extremely nice. My kids had a fun time. They did an hour in the level 2 simulation. The prices were very affordable and their is a discount for multiple people. Only in town for a week and this place was awesome to stop by and experience
Came in with my wife and had a blast. Owner was very knowledgeable and approachable. Gear is set up very well and had a ton of fun. Would recommend to anyone!
This place is amazing for anyone wanting to get into vr and sim racing. Awesome facility and equipment. Jason is super friendly and helpful with getting you set up and the prices are very reasonable for what equipment you are using
First time using simulator and had a blast. Service was great. They took time to explain everything and help us get through the setup. Gave us experience on several courses. Felt like I was driving on the course and when I ran off the road the system made sure I knew. Will be back
I'm visiting from Omaha and went with my parents. We all had an amazing time even my mom who isn't that much into racing. Staff very patient and helpful with explaining all the controls. Very realistic even at the level 1 simulator. Definitely going to be back before I leave in 2 days.
Great place to stop in for a few hours. My 11 year old son had a blast
We had a great time at the Flying Lap! The staff was super helpful getting our newbie drivers and pilots going on the machines. So many options to choose from, and top notch equipment and experience. Highly recommended!
The Flying Lap is an incredible VR experience! It's unlike anything else out there and a must-try for anyone looking for something unique. Highly recommend it!
My favorite thing to do when I'm in town. Calm environment where you can just have fun doing what you enjoy. Anything racing sim related is possible. High quality equipment with motion rigs make it great. Will absolutely come back.
Great place to spend time at love this place very recommended
Super cool place good pricing super nice guy this place is a must go if you enjoy anything rac sim or flight sims super realistic
So me and my partner went for the first time and although we just did the 15 minute drive it was so awesome! My partner did a level 2 simulation and I did a level 3 VR simulation and I was so impressed by the quality and experience that I had I really hope to come back soon
This place is a fantastic experience. Ran some laps on the motion rig and learned a lot about what a real racing rig feels like. I think I might have taught the owner a thing or two as well, in return ??. Overall, a must visit for anyone in the area or just passing through. Looking forward to going with friends next time.
This place is a blast! I would highly recommend to anyone passing through Springfield and anyone local looking to have fun, or for a new experience! Jason was super helpful and did everything to ensure we had a great time. I'll definitely be stopping by every chance I get!!
Quality Sims and prices are reasonable. Definitely coming back again
It was a great experience. I went in and I was pleasantly surprised at how awesome it feels to play racing games on a legitimate racing sim. They even have simulators for people who are not used to moving rigs. I recommend this to anyone wanting to have a great and fun experience flying or racing in any way. Everything was great and I can't wait to come back to do the level 3 experience.
So fun!!! The staff made me feel at home. Wish I was from here or I would do a monthly subscription 1000% worth it. Loved the hospitality very highly recommend.
Had an awesome time with my friends here! Only thing to worry about is losing track of time, we were there for an hour but it felt like 20 mins!
My husband & I took our kids for a family fun night. All of us had a blast! The owner was super helpful & very nice. Will definitely be going back!
Place is wonderful, owner was very kind, we had no issues at all just a great gaming experience, and you can race and fly pretty much anything. Overall best experience I've ever had.
Best Place to have some fun. Driving is amazing and super fun. It's cheap and a lot of fun.
Fantastic selection of sims for all experience levels. Machine was cleaned before and after use, and it was a fantastic experience! A+, I will certainly be returning!
I've had an interest in sim rigs for a while and wanted to check this place out to see what kind of hardware they were working with, and had a great time spending an hour on one of their motion rigs. Took a few laps around Talladega and Atlanta in a couple of Nascar cup cars and enjoyed every bit of it. Staff was very friendly and let me fiddle with iRacing all I wanted to while I was there, very easy to deal with, and enthusiastic about the business and racing. Really showed me how much more you can enjoy
Wheelchair and smaller person accessible options. The owner is very kind, patient, knowledgeable and cares about accessibility for all. We had the best experience and this is good for all ages, groups or just on your own.
my husband and i stumbled on this place by chance on google. this was one of the funest date nights we've had. the owner was extremely nice and truly gave a quality fun experience. this place is definitely a hidden gem out here in springfield. we will be sure to visit again!
This was awesome! Brought my employee her to celebrate! Great decision!
Had a great time experiencing a state of the art racing simulator! Owner is awesome and spent over an hour working with me 1-1. Challenging, but looking forward to a second visit! Thanks!
Lot of fun! Owner super great at explaining and setting things up and keeping you rolling in the sim
Unique experience for a reasonable price. Owner is very friendly.
Wow, this venue is incredible! I've always dreamed of owning a sim racing rig, but budget constraints held me back. Fortunately, this spot boasts an outstanding sim rig for racing enthusiasts. For just $10, you can enjoy 15 minutes of exhilarating fun. Next time, I plan to try their motion flight sim. I highly recommend checking it out for yourself. The world definitely needs more places like this.
Went there early this week with a group of friends and had a great time. Owner was friendly and helpful!
I liked how they have different kinds of setups and they had games with mods!
Visited for the first time this evening and it was great fun. Very clean and well ran, accommodating for kids and families! We will definitely be back!
Really cool place! Owner is nice and welcoming.
Relaxed environment, and very fun! Awesome guys, we enjoyed our conversations as well. We'll definitely be coming back!
Super cool spot to kill some time and practice on the simulators.
We had an awesome time! Great equipment and setup. The owner is so friendly and helpful!
Had lots of fun with the level two motion, if you have a basic setup and want to try something high quality come here, will likely buy a membership, VERY FUN IF YOU KNOW WHAT YOURE DOING
The games was great and I had a great time I hope to come back again and play again
Had a really fun time going with my friends here. We played Assetto Corsa with mods which was very immersive and a good challenge. Can't wait to be back!
I haven't had this much fun on a video game in a while. Setups are very nice, tons of fun, good mod selection on assetto. i?m bringing my buddies here, this was a total blast.
Really great experience and great equipment. Jason was really good at getting me started. Looking forward to seeing this place grow
Extremely fun and entertaining! Jason is very respectful and inviting. Definitely will be coming back.
This place made for a fun date night. We will return.
Great time at fast lap, fast and simple and got right to driving. Jason gave us a great experience.
This place is awesome. It's always a great time!
This was surprising to find down in Springfield. Never heard of it before, but it was absolutely incredible. I would check it out when you have time
Super cool set up. Great quality rigs and a really chill owner. You can tell he is passionate about what he does
This place got the fun to price ratio right. The staff is nice and helpful. The simulations are great. Great place I recommend this to everyone.
Jason is awesome at explaining how everything works and is very knowledgeable! This place is so fun and cool for all ages!
Cool Place! Definitely Recommend
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.
