Main Event Hoffman Estates

"If you are looking for some fun and hosting birthday party, Main Event is the best place for all out entertainment! There’s bowling, arcade, gravity ropes, laser tag, pool & shuffle board and delicious food! We hosted a party for our daughter it went very well. We booked online by filling out the form as per our needs and then it went smoothly the way we wanted. It was well planned and the party host was very helpful in organizing the stuff. We will highly recommend this place for parties and get togethers."

"We went to attend a birthday party. It was fun but as the place was overly crowded, the staff had difficulty organizing the event. The birthday party kicked off an hour later. My son had fun exploring the arcade games. Lots of options for kids to enjoy. The food (bread sticks and pizza)offered during the birthday party was delicious. You could tell they were made to perfection. It was disappointing to have no seating arrangements for adults during the dinner time. There was bowling alleys, snooker tables and many other activities available for adults to enjoy. We did purchase a cup of lemonade which was expensive. ($5)"

"First time attending. Went on Friday at 5:30 with a group of 12 mix of adult and kids. It’s a good, chill atmosphere and very spacious. They nose level was pleasant. You could enjoy a conversation. The service was slow but adequate. The food is terrible. Pizza is all dough with a hint of pizza sauce and cheese. Chuck E. Cheese is an A comparable. Nacho platter was decent size, but very slim on the toppings and a $2 ground beef upgrade in lieu of chicken is a money grab; the ground beef taco seasoning is terrible and the ground beef itself was questionable. The burgers were edible, but they lacked flavor and the patty is nearly 35%smaller than the bun. The bone-in wings were good but the price point for a 6 piece is insane. I think you folks can do better. I would go back, purely for entertainment, no food , and I definitely wouldn’t host a birthday party or event."

"Main Event is the best place for all out entertainment! There’s bowling, there’s an arcade, there’s gravity ropes, there’s laser tag, there’s pool and shuffle board, there’s everything! Not only that, but all the equipment is high quality. I went here back in 2018 and again in 2024 and it’s still the same great place. Great for parties or to just come with a few friends."

"We brought our son and his two friends for his birthday. We came on Sunday to do the unlimited wrist band for $10. The kids enjoyed laser tag playing arcade games in between rounds. We payed for unlimited bowling for us. It was fun, but not advertised appropriately. After one hour we were kicked off which was confusing since we payed for unlimited. When we went to question why we were kicked off they told us we had to get on a wait list. This is something that should be told when you buy UNLIMITED. NOT after they kick you off. We signed up for the wait list but after an hour of waiting we had to leave. So we paid to play unlimited but were only allowed 1 hour of time to play."
