Ben and Aris is a great place for children to play and have a fun time. They have two mini putt putt golf courses as well as a huge selection of arcade games inside.
The games give tickets for prizes and the kids love collecting them.
They offer birthday patry packages too. There is a pizza place connected in the same building and they get pizza for the b-day partys.

when we lived over in fishers/noblesville this was so close and easy to get to for b-day parties or just a family outing, great fun for all ages -and a great choice for something different to do for an older childs b-day party

This is a really fun place for both kids and adults. It is a great place to hold a birthday party or do a fund raising event as well. My kids love this place.

Ben & Ari's has rude staff & is not geered for smaller children
by Anonymous
Recently our family attened a birthday party at Ben & Ari's. Our four children are 3 1/2 - 6 1/2 years old. Having never been to this establishment, which has video games similar to those in Chuck E Cheese, miniature golf, and 2 lanes of duck pin bowling, I expected the children to be able to have a fun time like at Chuck E Cheese.
First off, the video games are not all clearly marked as to the number of tokens needed to play. Secondly, unlike Chuck E Cheese where every game is 1 token, some games were 4 or more tokens. When one of our children put 1 token into a machine that needed 4, but was not marked as such, we spoke to the manager. All we wanted was 1 token back, but we did suggest that they consider posting the number of tokens needed more clearly. The manager (or perhaps he was the owner) was rude, and said he would only give us a token THIS time. We then suggested that if they adopted a policy of having all games be the same number of tokens (1 or 2 or however many), it would be easier for smaller children. He replied by telling us how much some of the games cost him (which led me to believe he was more than the manager if he was personally affected by the cost of the machines). I agree that the machines are quite expensive, but Chuck E Cheese has some of the exact same games that cost 4 tokens at Ben & Ari's, and they are 1 token. Also while we were there, many of the machines were out of order. He should have used the extra money he made on those expensive machines to keep them in good repair.
All I can say is that I will not be returning to this establishment. The kids can have a fun time at Chuck E Cheese for significantly less money and nicer employees.

Fun Place to Kill Some Time

We recently visited Ben & Ari's as it is close to home and always seems to have some customers there.
The arcade wasn't that large and didn't provide alot of games. However, it was good for our children (4,5). It may not offer enough for older children, but does offer putt putt.
The food is your typical ball park type food. The pizza was very good.
I would recommend it if you are looking to play a few video games and play putt putt.
There were a couple birthday parties going on while we were there and the kids associated with the party seemed to be having a great time. One of the parties was a group of about 10 4 year old children.
PROS: Video games, Putt Putt, Decent Food
CONS: Not a lot of games

They have several big minuature golf course so it's a great place for my kids' birthday party and summer party. The course is clean and fun looking. The Circle City pizza and cafre is just together. It's not ideal if it's raining or cold outside, but great if you have kids. You can rent the place, too. They also offer different parties throughout the year.
