Fun time! CJ was very accommodating and helpful. Tim made sure safety was followed and was our groups referee. The large room outside the court was full of arcade games, 2 pool tables and juke box, so bring quarters or they have a change machine. Unfortunately the juke box wasnt working properly, so hopefully they are able to fix that. Its a fun way to have music going. Lastly, a heads up to anyone with mold sensitivity... The room smelly a little funky.

Super fun game, kinda run down atmosphere. Padding on the seat belts would help too.

Was a fantastic time first did it in Chicago a few years ago but wanted to do something fun for our bachelor party and was a great time for everyone. You may end up with a few bruises by the end of the night though!!!!

What a fun place to take the kids for a nostalgic trip back in time to an old school arcade. They need to repair the broken machines we lost a lot of coins. However the whirlyball redeemed the destination. The kids had a blast.

Its crazy fun. At first you are like how the heck does this work? Once you play a game, youll understand it fully. Its a combination of bumper cars, lacrosse, and the hoops to score in basketball. Games dont last long enough. Could play it forever. Competition and laughter with a bit of vengeance!

I called the owner to reserve the courts, she quoted me a price. She was very rude on the phone. The next day my maid of honor called to pay and she gave her a different price and was again very rude. I called back to discuss the price and just had to pay the increased rate. Again rude. She was arguing with me on how I wanted to reserve both courts for one hour each for 40 people. 20 on each court. She insisted it wasn’t enough time. But eventually after arguing for 10 minutes she agreed to letting me order both courts at $240 an hour each. We paid $480 to use both courts for one hour. We got there and she was again extremely rude and was yelling the rules at us as if we were children. She refused to turn on the dining room lights to the second court stating they could sit on the other side, which would only confuse things more. So they all sat in the dark. 😡She wouldn’t turn on the juke box on second side. She wouldn’t turn on any games in the whole place. She was yelling at my guests on her side throughout the whole game. And at the end demanded that my maid of honor tip $20 and stated she told me, which she NEVER did. How can a tip be mandatory. Should be included in the price to begin with. She held her debit card until she agreed to pay. Worst business owner ever. Very sad too because it’s a VERY fun game. Which is the only reason I gave a 2 for review. But I’ll drive further to the other location next time

This place is fun to have a family gathering! The outfit is a bit dated and dingy-handwritten rules, worn out carpeting, fading arcade games. Has lots of potential to be so much more. Definitely would go back though.

Review №16

Smelled awful when I walked in figured I should throw that in. The game is very very fun we did a group of 11 for an hour session and you can only have 10 in at a time so we would sub out since we played a total of 6 10 minute games. Can be rough on the waist since bumping into walls and each other is common and the seatbelt begins to leave its mark

Fun game. The facility is located in an industrial park so not really noticable from a car. Once inside the place is very minimal in accommodations. Dont expect high extravagance but you can expect to have fun.

Awesome time !!! Fun with a big group of people. I have played 3 times and I cant wait to go back. Theres a nice mini arcade area, huge party/seating section, windows so you watch the game being played.

This place was amazing! A great place for entertaining...and the Whirly Ball was so much fun! It was great fun for groups of all ages...and could even be used by companies to promote Team Work in the work environment! Although the staff was very limited, the service they provided wasboutstanding. All-in-all, a great place packed with fun for everyone! Thank you all for a most memorable event!

We have our Christmas party here every year and its worth it! Every game is a great time, win or loose. Worth the drive from the metro Detroit area!

My team from work and I had a great time here. It was a little pricey for a full hour, but if it was divided by the person it is not a bad rate. I think this is a better value than an escape room for a similar price.

This game is great. The employees are usually a little bland and cranky, but like I said, this game is so much fun.

Review №25

The actual whirlyball is fun, and Im not sure if its just private groups, but you can BYOB, which is pretty awesome. However, the place looks and smells like a roller skating rink from the 80s, and the equipment and courts are showing their age. About half the time weve brought our company here the owners were professional but cranky.

What a fun place to have a party. Nothing like playing jai lai with electric bumper cars. Staff were helpful and laid out the ground rules of the game. Harder than it looks but so much fun!!! Plan on another visit soon...

A group of us coworkers go here for an annual outing. The game itself if fun, and in past years it has always been a good time, but this year was the worst. Unfortunately this will be our last visit, or at least mine! The old lady that works there has always been very rude and this time pretty much sucked the fun out of the game. We were only there for an hour. She is unprofessional and talked down to us like children instead of grown adults, threatening to waste our time and money, which is already over priced. The lady ended up shutting down the court to yell at a few of us for an accidental head on collision and so called aggressive hits. These are bumper cars!! The carts and rackets are in crappy condition. The facility itself is ok, but smelled of a dirty locker room. Get some new staff,and maybe I would consider returning.

Great activity for groups and they make it easy to book a time. No in house food but you can order it for pizza and theres a fridge for keeping drinks cold. Lots of tables and chairs on hand, pool table, and arcade games. Parking is slightly limited.

Super cold feels like they dont turn the heat on & it needs to be updated. But the game was super fun; top wear knee pads.

The place felt old and drab, like a bowling alley. Staff were ok. The actual equipment seemed well maintained. The game of whirlyball itself is unique enough to be interesting for a group of 10.

I had a lot of fun playing Whirly Ball but a lot of the arcade games were off so it seemed like we were in when they were closed. The actual game of Whirly Ball was very fun though.

I never knew what whirly ball was and was very surprised at how fun it actually was. The place was in okay condition. Some of the video games were broken and ate my money so I wasnt happy with that. Some of the cars were a little laggy with the pedal.

Wow, where to start? Went with a youth group. First, they forgot our reservations, and showed up over 30 minutes late. Neither the person on the phone or the person who showed up even apologized, they just blamed the other person. Then, a car broke within 2 minutes of the first game, and they just left it on the course, where it was a hazard. (we eventually pushed it off). The person who was there had a bad attitude, and at the end didnt even offer a discount or anything to make up for their poor service. Her comment was, well, we still let you play two hours, didnt we?
