I hosted my 8yoโ€™s birthday party here on a Sunday recently. I cannot say enough kind things about the entire experience! Booking the party was easy and I appreciated that they were responsive through emails AND phone calls - a few changes needed to be made and they were kind and very accommodating! The day of the party went so smoothly, set up was easy and the 2 party hosts were excellent! Our kiddo, 15 other boys, and 5 dads had the BEST time playing laser tag! The arcade card is icing on the cake and the hosts made clean up and check out a breeze. Iโ€™m so grateful that Ryanโ€™s puts in so much effort to make the parties run smoothly and the kids have a great time. We will definitely be returning!

๐Ÿ† Family Action Verdict

The depth of activities across two levels means families with varying interests can all find something engaging simultaneously. Young children gravitate toward the arcade and bowling; older kids and teens target laser tag, VR, and axe throwing. Birthday party packages with dedicated hosts get strong reviews from parents of elementary-age children.

โ€œMy fiance and I were looking for an unconventional, out of the box idea for our wedding reception and stumbled upon Ryanโ€™s while doing a general search for โ€œfun venuesโ€. After putting in a request for more information to see if a wedding reception was possible, we got in contact with Linda and everything just fell into place from there. Linda was so kind, passionate, helpful, and excited to hear what we were looking for and reassured us that what we wanted was a reality she could bring to life for us. After viewing the beautiful top deck, and talking with Linda and staff, we were sold. Booked the venue and were off to planning. Linda checked in often, made it so easy to make payments in their system, and knew exactly what she was doing. From the date we booked we had to unfortunately postpone for about 6 months. Linda was incredibly understanding and easy to communicate with and accommodating. She was quick to make sure dates lined up with what they had available, and what our church had available etc. Everything fell perfectly into place for our new date and as time went on and we got closer and closer to wedding day, she was easy to get in touch with and answered so many of our questions and helped us out through the planning process helping with a timeline and explaining all of our options for everything, while also making suggestions when we really didnโ€™t know what we were doing. It was clear and encouraging that Linda knew exactly what she was doing, making the whole process super easy and stress free. We were able to store the items needed to decorate dropping them off the night before making our wedding day stress free and seamless. She worked well with our DJ, photographers and decorating team. Eased every stress we had and when we finally walked in to the venue for our reception everything was just beyond perfect. Her staff was well dressed, friendly, smiling, genuinely they all looked so happy to be there which is always an amazing thing to see. She made sure we had appetizers at our head table because we were chatting with guest too much to eat lol, made sure we got our food first from our chosen buffet, and checked in to see if we needed anything through the whole night which was really kind. She made sure we were on time with schedule, food was prepared exactly how we requested, as we had many guests with allergies all of which were able to be accommodated, the night was perfect, seamless and stress free. We had the best night of our lives. Her staff even went as far as taking down the table decorations so that my husband, bridal party, and I could go home and not worry about staying after to clean up. I highly recommend Ryanโ€™s for any occasion but especially for a wedding reception. Our guest are still talking about how fun and perfect the reception was. The most fun wedding they have been to was a common comment from our guests. The night was filled with amazing memories playing axe throwing, laser tag, bowling for the kids, and dancing. The venue is beautiful, there is plenty of parking and itโ€™s handicap accessible. The food was incredible too, our only regret from the whole day was not eating more food ๐Ÿ˜‚ it was delicious. Thank you Linda, and her staff Liz, Bella, Devonny, Jordan and Oliver. Our wedding day was so memorable, so fun, and absolutely perfect in every way. thank you for making our night so perfect and special. you will absolutely see us back often with our kids!!โ€

โ€œWhen me and my kids arrived at Ryan's we were expecting a classic arcade and bowling alley like in the good ol' days way bac k when in the 80's ๐ŸŽฎ๐Ÿ“ผ๐Ÿซ  however much to my dismay my trip to Ryan's has reminded me how soft people got, between the bright colors and the pounding headache from the lack of hard rock if you know what im talking 'bout ๐Ÿ˜‚i was thoroughly unimpressed. However all 5 kiddos liked it here and for that i cant give it a low rating. Thank you Ryan's for reminding me where my country has gone and what happened to the freedoms of the Gen X days.โ€
