This has potential to be great, but the way the bookings work is a massive rip off. 2 of us went, we paid $70 for 25mins, so about 12mins of play each. If I’d gone alone I would have paid only $35 and gotten the full 25mins of play. If 3 of us had gone we’d have paid $105 for 55mins roughly 15mins of play each. But 6 people would get 55mins but be charged $210 instead and each player gets less than 9mins of play each. With out experience when we scanned the menu it said food takes roughly 30mins (and this was in a quiet period) which was basically our entire cage booking done, we also had 1 drink each because the booking didn’t really give us time to relax. The owners need to seriously think about changing to model to charging by time span and just recommending what’s suited for what size groups. This would also make it more enjoyable AND we’d spend money on food and drinks instead rushing. The place itself is great, the staff were super friendly, very clean, the food was a bit cold but we had to shovel it into our mouths so fast i can’t even remember it.

Love the chill atmosphere! If you don't like casual modern service then I would tell you to manage your expectations, but for me personally as a hospitality employee, it's refreshing! The service and staff are amazing, accommodating and funny. Harriet and team were a great addition to our party for my partner's 30th and dealt with our mischief and sarcasm. Clear instructions on how to use the machines, time constraints and safety expectations. They also have a fair price for darts, food and the batting cages. Especially for last minute booking that we had. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for some casual fun out with a group of friends or as team building for a group.

The place had a good atmosphere, and the staff was great. The batting cage was something different, but the hype surrounding the batting cage and experiencing itself felt like a letdown. I would recommend it if you've never tried a batting cage or missed stepping into a betting cage, but overall, it's more like a one-time experience. I would come back for the place but not for the batting cage.

GREAT customer service from booking to attending and throughout. Very accommodating, bubbly and friendly staff, the house crisp lager was an excellent refreshing beer choice, and like the name - crisp! The activities are great and so well priced making it easy and affordable for all sorts of events from dates to company team building and catching up with mates. Will be returning soon! Very happy :)

This is awesome! Thought the bookings system was perfect. We went with 4 of us and got to bat for an hour, it was more than enough time for us. We loved that they had customisation for my home team (Seattle Mariners) and loved the customer service. It’s a nice big venue that didn’t feel claustrophobic or too loud for those of us with sensory issues. The staff honestly really made it too - the two women we met were kind, helpful, and fun. If we lived closer it would become our regular hang out, but we’re still gonna come back heaps even with it being a bit of a drive for us. Best date night in ages!!!
