The 10 Best Game & Entertainment Centers in Tempe, Arizona (AZ)

October 23, 2021 Terina Blouin

Located just 10 minutes east of downtown Phoenix, Tempe exudes its own personality and the youthful spirit of a college town. Home to Arizona State University, the largest public university in the United States, Tempe has a vibrant downtown that’s active day and night. You’ll find locally-owned eateries and microbreweries, annual festivals, arts and cultural events. And plenty of opportunities to enjoy over 300 days of sunshine a year on a bike, hiking trail or stand-up paddleboard.

LumberjAxes

LumberjAxes is Phoenix's first competitive axe-throwing venue. Yes, competitive axe- throwing is a thing. It’s huge in Canada. At our rustic facilities in Tempe and Glendale, adults of all skill levels can try their hand at it. You and your friends, coworkers, or wedding party get a lane and take turns throwing at a target. It’s sort of like bowling, but without the silly shoes. And with way more axes.

2 families went for an hour of fun. The cost on a Saturday night was about $22 per person. The staff were very friendly and helpful. They sell soda and some junk food type snacks, but they do encourage you to bring your own alcohol. Just remember, you will be throwing axes, so moderation is key. It's not easy, but everyone in our party was able to make the axe stick. Great fun. Try it!

We were on a trip and my daughter wanted to come. We ate a delicious burger, fries, and a giant pretzel with cheese (it was labeled as an appetizer). Has alcoholic and beverages for all. The bowling with music was fun. I highly recommend putting your pictures in when you add your names and pick a theme or something like that. Then watch the screen after each person bowls. So cute! They had enough arcade games that kept us entertained, then my daughter got to get a prize. Definitely better prizes than I recall in my day. We were glad we went. Mission accomplished!

We took our 3 grandchildren here ages 8, 5 and 6 months. Great activities for the two older ones, I’d recommend booking ahead for cheaper tickets and buy the activity packs then collect the stamps in each area. Two cool rides and lots of Lego to make anything you like. A 4d cinema showing a short maybe 20 minute film fun for adults and kids alike. Only bug is the cafeteria, not much choice and only basic fare. The centre is in a mall next to sea world and you can buy a combination ticket if you have enough time to go to both attractions We spent around 4 hours in Legoland and there was a carousel in the mall food court which was cool for the kids to ride before we left.

I stopped in here with my son during our Christmas break for a quick round of games. We had a good time and as always found a few new game machines. After playing for 2 hours we got a bite to eat. I ordered the street chicken tacos which had a cheese-filled jalapeno inside (yummy!). Very enjoyable time.
