Main Event, Columbia, MD

Main Event, located in Columbia, Maryland is a do it all fun zone for families and friends to have a great time. They have a beautiful bowling alley, which had big TV screens, glow lights, and the ability to have bumpers be up or down depending on which player is bowling (this was an easy process). Any time we had a question, the staff was more than helpful. The lanes were clean, the balls were in good shape, and they had nice seating areas for each lane. If you wanted to purchase food, I believe they had that option as well.

In addition to the bowling alley, they also had a large arcade with a selection of video games that included both ticket-earning and non-ticket earning options. They also had a nicely sized prize store. If bowling and arcades don't excite you, then surely the laser tag arena will provide you with tons of fun. The equipment was well maintained, and there were no faulty issues which made the games very enjoyable. Lastly, if you want to avoid all technology, they also have several billiards tables and shuffleboard tables. These tables were in immaculate shape, and were located right next to a restaurant. 

Make sure before you go, that you check out the different deal offerings. We went for Monday Madness, which offered two options. For $10.95 per person plus shoe rentals, you can get all you can bowl, laser tag, billiards, and shuffleboard. If this option is not what you are looking for, you can also get the $10.95 deal for unlimited arcade games (non-ticket earning). This deal goes from 4pm-closing (1am). They also have a summer fun pass, a food and fun combo, and a kids eat free Tuesdays program. We spent 3 hours on our Monday Madness experience, and the kids had a blast!

Just know that this location is part of Columbia Mall, but can be accessed independently from the parking lot. It is right near the Barnes and Nobles.
