After reading an article about Activate I was ready to go. It was time for something different to celebrate our anniversary. I went online to register ahead it was quick and easy. You play a deposit to hold your spot. I completely understand why. I do tell you to arrive 15 minutes early and to wear workout clothes. The staff was very helpful since this was our first time they gave us a brief tour and how to play the games. I highly recommend: wear the workout clothes and stretching beforehand. Also, read the instructions on how to play each game to have the best outcome on the first try. We had an amazing time and burned a lot of calories. You get a full workout at this place. I can't wait to go back. Show less

This place is awesome. We had a fun family night for my daughter's birthday. I wish they'd put one of these in the target plaza on South Blvd at 485 (So much space now with several empty stores). Can't wait to go back!

I love it here!! I went to activate for my birthday & it was so amazing! It kicked my butt for sure. You are super active and the rooms each have different games with different versions of the game. I had so much fun & will definitely be back again soon!

Such an awesome place! Bring some athletic shoes and be ready to have a ball. The games are a lot of fun. I probably wouldn't bring any kid under the age of 8, the games until you learn them can get frustrating but once you learn them it's a blast. I can't recommend it enough!

Came in today 12/7 with my boyfriend and everything started off good. Staff was extremely friendly, helpful and the place itself looked very kept up and clean. Now I will get into why I'm leaving 3 stars despite my good experience with the staff and the games themselves. Within 20 minutes of arriving, the place quickly filled with other players which I didnt care much for until I began having trouble breathing in the game room, at first I thought I was hot and tired from the games so I stepped out, cooled off and caught my breath. Couple minutes back in the game room I began having trouble breathing and catching my breath again, me and my boyfriend were getting increasing hot and out of breath with each minute. This only started happening when the place started getting really busy and full. The point here is there is not good ventilation in the game room. I was getting hot, dizzy and my chest began to ache from not being able to take deep breaths. I feel this specific location needs to consider looking into expanding, checking their ventilation or creating a limit as of how many people could be in this small room to prevent this from happening to others. Bottom line is, great staff great games but I was feeling extremely suffocated. Show less

This place is such a blast. We first visited their Atlanta location, so we had to give this one a try. The man working, Dave (David), was awesome—he got us checked in and up and running within minutes of arriving.

So much fun… nothing can compare honestly. I’d recommend swapping out the amount of rooms you all have for Hoops, so you can add another Lazer room && If there were waters for sell. Maybe you’re supposed to bring your own water bottle

We had such a great time here while here on vacation! The staff was involved, kind, and very helpful and we would definitely come back. Only wish my husband would have played a little better, to win a better prize 😜 …

When we arrived, Kelsey checked us in, got us our wristbands and escorted us to the party lounge, she even gave the children in my party directions before entering the rooms for the first time. Kelsey is an asset at Activate! I specifically wrote this review to compliment her even though Activate is already an amazing place to spend some time!

The front desk associate was quick to help and serve from the start. He accommodated us from the beginning, helped with our coupon, and was generous with helping us after we finished and received our awards. The crew in the gaming area was especially helpful when we needed help with Hide level 5. We ended up figuring it out after a few rounds, but we had asked for help to understand the rules, and an associate peeked in the exit to make sure we were understanding. That was so considerate.

Our family had a great time the other night here. We booked easily online for later in the evening. It wasn’t overly crowded but definitely not slow, was also a Friday so during the week would probably be less busy. We did had to wait a few times behind others (but it goes pretty quick). You check in, sign waivers and are shown how to start. You and your party take turns going through the different game rooms by scanning your wrist band. Each room has the option to view a quick break down and how to play before going in on the screens where you scan your wristband. You get an hour and 15 mins total and each room is quick, only lasting under a minute each or so. This we did find a smidge disappointing but did keep it fast paced and entertaining. Our favorite rooms were Hoops, hide, control, lasers and grids. We already booked another day next week to go back! Great for families with kids I would say over 6 -7 age group and up. Our 8 year had a blast and had no issue doing anything in any of the rooms. So much fun ! Will say to not majority of the room do require some form of physical activity with some being more than others. (Lasers -having to crawl under on floor to other side of room quickly and one room having to walk/jog in place but again, each game is quick and you can do whichever rooms as many times as you want in your hour and 15 ) We were a party of 4 myself, husband, son and mother (64) and we had a great time!

After the first round, most are pretty easy to understand but by then you have to leave the room because another group is waiting. Also, once the room is ready, there's no flashing light or audible signal so someone has to stare at the screen or you might miss the start. Then you have about 5 seconds to get your whole team in the room and in position to start the game. There is potential here but it definitely needs work. Show less

7 months agoThis place is SO FUN! I’ve been multiple times and each time is just as fun. Every game/room has levels of difficulty so when you return there’s still a challenge. All the people I’ve brought here loved it and we’ve had so much fun with a shared experience. 10/10
