The Lightning Bug - MARS

Much smaller than expected. it was clean. not much to do for a young child; more for older children. the playground is definitiw for older children and was overrun with older children, so no small children could even play. it is much smaller than expected. that was terrible. we had to send our burgers back because they were not cooked. they were just greasy and tasteless. the gluten-free bread was also hard as a rock. When we first came there, we saw 2 employees and we had to wait 10 minutes until someone picks up our order. during our entire stay more employees had occurred and the majority was helpful. overall disappointed; we expected a lot more.

Not impressed. The place is a lot smaller than the pictures make you believe. There is not a lot of seating. We were back to back with other people fighting for space. Also, the girl behind the prize counter was rude. I watched her yell at a couple of younger kids because she was by herself and overwhelmed. That is not an excuse to yell at children. Later I saw four people behind the busy counter. One was already sitting on a stool texting on his phone, another was standing but grabbed a stool so he could sit and text. The aforementioned girl constantly turning to talk to the two guys on the stools. And a fourth guy who talked to all three but then disappeared. I don't think we will be back.

Not impressed. The food, pizza and shake, terrible. The tall guy behind the food counter very unpleasant, seemed miserable. Glow in the dark golf not bad, $10 for 2 adults. Overall we prefer Chuck E. Cheese.

The Lightning Bug was AWESOME! Drove past many times, I finally had to go in... I am so glad I did. Way cooler than I had pictured. Staff were helpful and really nice. Arcade was fun. Seems like it would be a nice place to do birthdays. Large dining area and a few private rooms as well. They have an outdoor mini-gulf with a waterfall that was pretty impressive. Laser-tag, rock climbing wall, bumper cars... We will be back very soon!

My kids love it here and beg to come anytime the weather is less than ideal-which happens a lot around here . It's definitely not cheap, but there's normally a Groupon deal or check out their Facebook page for great BOGO deals around the holidays. I always stock up my prepaid cards during these specials, so it isn't so bad. There's a nice variety of arcade games, which are my kids favorites. The bumper cars are really cool, and the free playground is small, but does the trick while we're waiting for our food. Surprisingly, the pizza is good. My oldest son hates sauce on his pizza, and their white pizza is very good. The crust is amazing, and the blend of cheeses with olive oil and garlic is a perfect combo. It's not even messy-win, win. Sometimes we just come here for the pizza. We've been to the glow in the dark indoor mini golf course, which is pretty cool and my kids love it. I'm excited to try the outdoor mini golf course. It's huge and looks awesome.
