Celebration Station

Manager was very rude, customer bumped my girlfriend and she was asked to leave as their employees pertained to use vulgar language at her as she was kicked out. Degrading her and making her feel like a terrible person. Will never return.

The staff are a bunch of idiots, haven’t seen that kind of stupidity in a long time. They let my son ride the go carts once after measuring him 4 times. Second time measured him again, let him on, pull him back out measure him once again say he is to short. They are the most incompetent people I have ever seen. They need to require all staff to have a minimum GED education.

Pros: This review is based on the Thursday special they had that we bought.
Price: On Thursday, Celebration Station has a $ 15.99 unlimited rides and pizza special (doesn’t include batting cases, mini golf or laser tag and the arcade games), which to me, was worth it. It was not crowded at all, so we really took our time to enjoy the pizza, rides and arcade games. We got there at 11 am, but even at 2 pm, the crowd was minimal.
Rides: The only two rides that older kids (12+) will enjoy as at this establishment is the go carts and the Bumper boats, unless you pay extra for the batting cages, laser tag and mini golf. Other then that, the little ones will enjoy the other rides Celebration Station offers.
Customer Service: All were very friendly and attentive. I will say that at one point, while I went to get pizza, one of the girls asked me in a rather accusatory tone what color my wristband was. I didn’t realize they had different colored wristbands, but I guess for the price package we bought, I had a purple wristband to indicate unlimited pizza. I suppose she was just doing her job.
Arcade games: There are plenty of arcade games to enjoy. Upstairs is laser tag (not included in the $ 15.99 special), pool and air hockey.
Cons: There was limited staff available this day to man the outside rides, so at any given time, at least 2 or 3 of the kiddie rides was not turned on until another ride had no people waiting for it. This was a bit of a disappointment when my little ones wanted to go on one of the rides, but had to wait until someone was available to operate the ride. Eventually, the kids did get to go on each of the rides, but Celebration Station does need to ensure each operational ride has an attendant. This day was at least 100+ outside too, so asking the kids to wait wasn’t ideal.
Pizza: Definitely not gourmet pizza, but it wasn’t completely nasty. There could be less bread and more toppings. All of the soda was completely flat and tasteless. Opt for the water unless you don’t mind flat, tasteless soda.
Overall, go on a Thursday when they have the $ 15.99 special and it’s worth your money.

The mini golf was cool to me it’s kind is small. All you can eat pizza price is decent. Price for parties I think are expensive

There are a few rides that were under construction so the younger kids only had 1 ride available. Also, only one ride attendant for the rides at first so very slow. The buffet food was decent but they only put out 2 pizzas at a time which means a lot of waiting to eat. Seems like could be a good place if those items were improved.

It was pretty good, especially if you have kids and don’t mind spending a few dollars on them. The arcade is on two floors; the newer games on the first and the oldies on the second. I didn’t taste the food, do go karts, or do laser tag. However, it was fun. We spent $ 20 on a card and got over 800 tickets in the end. (My friend did hit the jackpot for over 200 tickets.) For those of you who complained about it being outdated, I thought that on the inside it wasn’t so bad. Outside, however, is a different story. The paint is peeling and it looks somewhat like a funhouse. When I first saw it, I expected to go inside and come across a clown running around in a house of mirrors with a chainsaw laughing like a lunatic. Anyway, the place could use some TLC for its looks. Overall: a good rainy day activity for the kids.
Finally:
Staff: 4 stars. They were good for their job but they seemed slightly understaffed, we didn’t really interact with them.
Games: 5 stars. They had most of the popular games that you might find at Dave and busters, but not as many.
(I can’t rate anything else because I didn’t really do anything else.)
Overall: a nice rainy day activity for the kids.
Pros: fun, lots of variety
Cons: a little bit outdated, height requirements for rides
If you kept reading to here, then kudos to you!

This place has been here for years, and, although it may be a bit run down, I’m a fan. It has similar games and prizes as other kid destinations, such as Chuck E Cheese, but it also has go karts, bumper boats, and mini golf.
Between the outdoor and indoor activities, it’s an entertaining way for little ones to spend a few hours. We always eat before coming here, after, or both, so I cannot comment on their food. We do buy water or Gatorade from them when spending time outdoors though, you gotta hydrate man!
The one downfall I can see though is there’s no type of security. There’s no one there when you enter or leave to make sure your kid doesn’t leave by themselves, or with someone who is not the parent. If you’re a responsible adult, no big deal, but I watched children under 4 years old running around unsupervised with no parent in sight for periods of 15 minutes or more. Kind of scary to know they could just run outside into the parking lot if they so desired.
Good place to entertain little ones for responsible parents.

Ghetto shithole. Employees need to learn the common rule of less talk and more work. Managers are all about the almighty dollar.

This place sucks everything is broken and the employees are rude as hell. We played both laser tag and go karts. All of our laser tag vests were broken. The go karts suck. The kids hated this place if u want a good experience with laser tag and arcade games go to pk place, and for go karts go to Tampa Grand Prix avoid this place at all cost and do not waste your money

O.k. O.k. So it is run down, but it is an awesome place to bring your kids for the price. For $ 10, I was able to entertain my kids for an hour and a half. It was raining, so we did not do any of the outside stuff. It is all awesome, as I have taken camps there. So go and have fun!

Brought my kids here for a fun rainy day to play laser tag and video games. We have played mini golf here in the past. Do not waste your money in the arcade. Most games either don’t work correctly or not at all. Laser tag isn’t nearly as good as we have played elsewhere either.

I had a lot of fun here. I used to go all the time as a child and of course loved it. I expected it to be one of those places that’s pretty terrible as an adult, but I was presently surprised.
I went with my family on Saturday afternoon. I got the $ 30 pass that included all day rides, a game of golf, an entrée with drink and $ 5 for the arcade games.
There were some lines for the bumper cars, but they moved pretty fast. The bumper cars, bumper boats and mini golf were tons of fun.
I got a cheeseburger with fries for my entrée and it was actually very good.
My only complaint is that they don’t provide drink refills and a bottle of water or Gatorade costs $ 3. I would expect better prices at least on the water. With kids running around outside all day it would’ve been very easy to get dehydrated. I would they they could drop the price on water to help avoid that.
Overall it was a really great time and I’d definitely go back.

This was our first visit to Celebration Station and we will never come back! We’d seen this location for months and planned our visit. The kids were super excited and so were we!;) Upon entering this place was like a ghost town (scary). We purchased a card for the rides and went to the outside. No one was attending the rides. I found a manager inside and was assured this wouldn’t happen again. We were able to get on ONE ride that was cut short due to someone’s crying child (which we understand) but they should’ve let the other children finish there ride. We moved on to the the next ride and again no attendant! Again we couldn’t find anyone who worked here. I went back inside and asked for a refund. This place is horrible and a complete waste of time! So sad because it has the potential to be a great place!

I came her for my niece’s 10^th birthday party and it was a pretty good time. They have a wide selection of indoor games, many are a bit outdated, but there’s still plenty to do. You put money on this credit card and swipe it to play games, which is better than carrying a bunch of tokens around. The outdoor activities were nice too. My niece had a blast on the water bumper boats and my nephew did the racetrack. There’s also mini golf, which I played with my husband. You can choose your difficulty level & it was actually a lot of fun. The food is basically reheated frozen food, but it’s what you would expect here. The staff was very friendly. I would definitely come back.

This place blows chuckle cheese right out of the water!!! My kids and nephews and nieces love this place!!! Not only do the kids have a blast the adults love it just as much!!! I love going here! It has go carts, batting cages, bumper boats, rides, miniature golf, lazer tag and a ton of variety of games!!! We will keep coming back for years to come!!!

The staff was fantastic — very helpful and accommodating. Inside restaurant staff and outdoors’ ride staff! Unfortunately, their gaming set up is so confusing — you pay for tokens, yet they give the kids credit cards and the games cost strange amounts like 3.1 !!! My husband and I mentor children, all of the kids, six (6), ages (6 — 9) had a blast outdoors. We dropped $ 250+ for the afternoon. When we moved indoors to eat and game, we expected that the games would yield a few tickets per game… In any event, the few tickets that were accumulated garnished only enough for cheap rings that didn’t fit little fingers. On the way out the door 4 rings fell off those tiny fingers and there were tears galore! My husband, tried to remedy the situation by going back to the «prize» counter to buy 4 little cheap rings and was turned down. He was told he couldn’t buy them. I’m sorry but Chuck E Cheese would have given him free replacements. AND, a token is a token, and they give players a prize no matter how many coupons a child might have.
I am not promoting CCC, because I also could have bought one seasonal pass to Disney for the year… No Disney promotion. Kudos to the staff. Again, kudos to the staff, consisting of mostly enthusiastic young men and women.

Awful. They let us buy unlimited passes for 2 nine year olds that aren’t tall enough to ride anything themselves. 3 refunds later we left. Your child needs to be at least 14 and uninterested in riding go karts before they can drive them themselves.

This place is no Dave & Busters, but it certainly provides plenty of fun for your little one. There is no front counter to check in and get a token card for the arcade games, so if you’re a first timer and are used to D&B, you may wander around looking for such a service counter. Save yourself some time and just find one of the self serve kiosks.
ARCADE — A lot of the reviews say the games are outdated, but I found it has the same kind of games as D&B … just on a smaller scale.
GO CARTS — The go carts are a lot of fun! The cars are not on a guide so you have open range for driving. These are not for little ones. They have to ride as a passenger.
ROLLER COASTER AND OTHER RIDES /​GAMES — The other rides were too small for my 9 year old so we didn’t try them out. We also didn’t have enough time for the golf, but it looks like a decent course. We will try it next time. Bumper boats look like they could be fun, but the weather wasn’t permitting.
FOOD — We didn’t try any of the food since we ate before we arrived. But, we did try the 25 cent ice cream that is now 50 cents. I wouldn’t recommend it at all. It is more like a iced, flavorless cream.
All in all, this place is decent and makes for a good outing with kids if you go before 5−6pm. It starts to get pretty crowded by then. The carpet and smell everyone else mentioned in the reviews is non-​existent. New carpet was installed upstairs and I could see they are getting ready to install it downstairs as well. If you go expecting a modern Dave & Busters type of place you will be disappointed, but if you go expecting to have fun with the kids, you’ll be happy you went.

The place was okay. The games were very limited and it needs an upgrade badly! They should invest in the building. The outside activities were great but invest in your company before it’s too late!
Recommend coming here as your last resort!

Decent family fun center with mini golf that’s actually golf-​able (AKA not assembly line crowded like other Clearwater/​St. Pete joints) on a Saturday night.
The guy and I are on a quest to do more things on the weekend that don’t involve bars or fancy restaurants. One thing we really wanted to do was mini golf, so we checked out a bunch of places. To our dismay, the majority of fun locales seemed to be on the «other» side of the bay, but we trekked here anyway. We were surprised how busy the arcade area was, as well as the go-​carts. Kids and families everywhere! While the equipment is a bit dated, everyone seemed to be having fun and staying safe.
The mini golf began leisurely, but as usual, we did end up having a sloooooow group of four people in front of us and a way-​too-​fast group of 10 year old boys behind us… which made the whole thing kind of slow and forced at the same time. I guess that’s our fault for going on a summer weekend. As for the courses, you have two options. We picked the «challenging» one and I can honestly say it was one of the easiest and least-​challenging courses I’ve ever tried. Still, we had fun, and the price was more affordable than other places nearby. I would come back, but not on a Saturday night.
