βOur son had his 10th birthday here and with 12 people we had an absolute blast. The staff was friendly kind and helpful as well as keeping our drinks cold in the refrigerator and our other things in the freezer. They created many fun games and the two hours flew by. Would highly recommend tag ops indoor dart tag arena to everyoneβ

βThis is one of the only curriculums my daughter actually loves going to. The teachers are great and know how to work with kids. It's very important for kids to learn discipline and self-defense.β

βHad my twins 10th birthday here. Having gone through covid and not able to have a good birthday party the last two years I really wanted to get a good turn out for them. This place was just the ticket, the boys love nerf guns. Set it up paid the deposit and they sent a terrific invitation by email that I had printed out. a week before the party and I had zero RSVPs. As a reminder I printed the invitations again to send to school and realized... They did not have my phone number correct on the invitation. Instead of 78 it was 87. I didn't notice this until a week out. So I whited out the number and sent invitations out again. I had no idea how many kids were coming. I was about to cancel since I didn't want my kids to be the only ones at their party. I was livid. They blew and so did I. I should have checked it closer before printing. We went forward with the party as a few kids RSVP'd. I over bought on food just in case. When we arrived for our party I told the manager what had happened, he said, "Oh... Sorry about that." Thats it??? Sorry??? I have twins he then says you get one t-shirt which one of you wants it? How about give them both a t-shirt not because they want it, so that they don't feel left out. Thats the least you could do. No... I would have to purchase a second one. I would have preferred no shirt... BUT, I was not going to lose my temper and wreck my kids party so we continued and I didn't say anything, which is not like me. Ultimately about 12 kids showed up and they all had a really great time in the nerf arena. I think about 15 kids is maxing it out for the space. The dinning situation is not ideal. The indoor space is really to small for the tables and is cramped. They have to be pushed up against the wall so its difficult to get in and out of those seats. Outside dinning is just outside on the strip mall sidewalk, and the strip mall is dumpy. We literally watched people dumpster diving across the parking lot. The kids did enjoy it. They had a great time. The staff were really helpful in setting up and taking care of the kids in the arena. The manager needs to recognize a major screw up and offer something beyond a weak "Sorry", otherwise he was friendly, easy to work with setting it up and great with the kids and his staff. Overall I rated 3 stars for my experience mainly for getting my number wrong on the invitations and for the dinning accommodations being less desirable. I think most people would have a 4 to 5 star experience here and I would recommend this place. If you are picky about the dinning you should stop in and have a look before you book. Kids will love it, I don't think they care if they eat in a parking lot or on the floor. They will love all the different nerf guns to choose from and have a great time.β
