1 / 2WhirlyBall
📍 Bucktown, IL
Multi-activity entertainment venue with two whirlyball courts, bowling lanes, laser tag, and private party rooms. Minimum age 7 for whirlyball. Staff consistently praised for going above and beyond during group events.
We had an absolute blast with our referee T-Y, bartender Halina, and the manager on staff Fredrick were extremely accommodating and made my brothers’ 16th birthday celebration special
🏆 Family Action Verdict
Best for families celebrating birthdays or planning group outings with kids aged 7 and up. Whirlyball is the unique draw — a bumper car and lacrosse hybrid that works in teams and requires no prior skill. The dedicated staff assigned to parties makes the experience run smoothly, and having bowling and laser tag as backup keeps varied groups happy.

“I had my son's party here and it was AMAZING! Our servers were Raul, Emerson and Gabby! The party went smoothly having them as my hosts and server. Whenever I had a request they were on it immediately and was very friendly. My family had such a great time. I would recommend this place. Although it was a little pricey, it was well worth it.”

“We are so glad we came here again for our Holiday outing. We had a blast! The room we had before Whirly Ball started our festivities. Our server Jonathan & bartender Angie were great and kept us fed and hydrated. Eric & Alley the referees were fantastic and made sure we all had a fun time! Thank you & Happy Holidays!!!”
