Gameworks

I took my niece and nephew here, and I thought I would be bored out of my mind... but I think I had more fun then they did!!

Of course they loved the latest and most advanced games, and I was thrilled to find Frogger, Ms. Pac Man, Asteroids... those games that brought me back to the Atari memories!

this is the place for you if you're into video games and interactive games. they have all types of shooting games and also a cool interactive game where you sit in this chair and you move up and down like a roller coaster shooting at bandits. their food is also decent but beware, it can become very crowded with rowdy kids on weekends. their upstairs is also full of your regular video game consoles. i particularly like the race car where you race against several opponents who are sitting next to you.

The kids love to go to Gameworks. They have so many games and there staff is really helpful if you have a problem with any of the games. It can be expensive depending on how many people you take with you.

The games and food mix is so great your kids won't be able to pull them away. There is so much entertainment here that every age bracket will be able to have fun and enjoy everything. There is a big parking lot with a lot of open spaces all the time and have been pretty close to the business itself. Also a lot of Chicago Wolves players goes there to hangout and it's a great enviroment with them as well. I will definitly be going there again real soon.

We went here as a last resort, and I was amazed by how much fun we had! It is not based towards kids, so adults can go and have their fun too! Definatly a place I will return to either as a group of adults, or with the kids in tow!

Gameworks is one of the best gaming places i have been to. I recommend getting the unlimited card for 2-3 hours as you will spend more than enough money if you play with credits. they have a bar and pool tables in addition to the video games. I recommend playing their baloon flying game which is so much fun. no kids after 9 pm .

Just because you're an adult doesn't mean you can't let loose and have fun. Gameworks is a great place for the latest video games and virtual reality games that adults can enjoy. The games are expensive, though, so be prepared to spend at least $20 or $30 just to sample several of the better ones.

In a time when it seems all the little, independent arcades are no more I'm glad there are a few places you can still go to spend time with friends and play some games. Plus, this is one of the few places I've seen pinball games recently. Gameworks can get pretty crowded at times, and it's a little frustrating when someone hogs the same game for a long time, but usually we have a great time when we go.

If you can handle the decibel level, this is a great place to go to let your competitive juices flow. I love the air hockey and head-to-head basketball. The games are expensive, so it's only good if you're not on a tight budget.

PROS: Fun games, lots of kids everywhere
CONS: Expensive, noisy, lots of kids everywhere

This is a great place for all ages to hang out and have fun. Once you go inside, there are video games on every floor. On the first floor, there are rides you can go on as well. I had my 21st birthday party here, and it was a great way to hang out with my friends. This is a fun place for adults 21 years of age and older because they kick out anyone under that age after 9 PM.

PROS: You can get a group discount for any day and even for special occasions.
CONS:

This is a great entertainment venue. It has the latest videogames and many simulation games like the Indy 500 racing game and a create your own roller coaster ride. It is a great place for kid and adult parties. You can rent out rooms for private functions like business parties. It is a little costly, but they have a deal that you can play any non-ticket game for two hours unlimited for $25. They also have a bar and restaurant.

PROS: There is no admission cost.
CONS: After 9:00 pm, only adults are allowed inside.
