I haven’t tried the Demolition Ball, but Adrenaline Zone was like a low-rent Chuck E. Cheese, except they had laser tag. That said, their prices for birthday parties are a but high considering the low-moderate quality of the facility. Service was decent. Parking lot was very icy(this was last winter) and dangerous to walk through, especially with a bunch of young kids coming in.

I took my extended family to Demolition Ball and pitted the adults versus the kids. It was the most fun we’ve had together. Demolition Ball is a combination of bumper cars, lacrosse and hockey. Each player gets a car and a scoop. The object of the game is to throw a whiffle ball in to the goal while driving a bumper car. This place is great! Arcade games, food, pool tables, full bar, laser tag. We brought our own team and rented a court for an hour. You can also sign up for single games. This would be perfect for corporate team building or birthday parties.

We had a work event here, and I totally expected it to be SUPER nerdy. And it was… until it was your turn to play. Too fun! Well, nerdy fun. And I’d do it again. Demo Ball has so many variables to throw at you that most people will be on a fairly level playing field with those that maybe have some more experience, and those with great athletic prowess won’t necessarily beat the crap out of us mere mortals. I can’t speak for the arcade or laser tag portions of the building. We just played Demo Ball, but that was enough for me. Pizza was average — edible but not anything to write much about. Bar is stocked and has pretty average prices. My Absolut Pink Lemonade was delish.

This is my 2nd Demo Ball experience and both were work-sponsored events. I had loads of fun and could not stop playing this time around. It’s just a fun activity especially in a friendly group environment. The entire place was reserved, which also included the laser tag arena. Haven’t played laser tag since I was a kid so you know I was definitely down for some sniping. The arena is actually very cool with mazes, inclines, and plenty of places to hole up and wait for the next victim. They make it similar to a Haunted Mansion experience where they herd everyone in a themed room and watch a video with instructions and a story line. The pizza was meh, but I didn’t really go there for the food quality. They have a decent beer and liquor selection although they are a wee bit pricey. The more your drink… the sloppier demo ball becomes. Not sure on the pricing as far as non-business functions go but would definitely recommend renting the place for a few hours for a fun birthday or whatever party. Something different to offers friends and family.

This can be a good time if you have the right people with you. They have a full bar with 6 beers on tap & about 15 beers in bottles. They have pool tables for the people waiting to play.

Went here for the first time last night for a birthday party! WHAT A WONDERFULTIME! Imagine mixing bumper cars, lacrosse scoops, and basketball! 10 players are on the electric court at a time, and the games are 15 minutes long. For 30 minutes of play time it is $ 12, but if you have a large group the court rental fee is $ 180 for an hour. Which is totally worth it once you divide it up between everyone. They had a full bar, which had some of my favorite beverages. Just note that their Kitchen is closed during weekdays — wish I would have known that ahead of time. The staff was knowledgeable, friendly and very humorous during our games — and I personally enjoyed their music choices while we all played(took me back to highschool a bit!) I will definitely be going back real soon!

I have been here twice and I love it. Both times we played Demolitian Ball(which is a hybrid«sport» combining bumper cars with lacrosse and with basketball). It’s played in teams so the more people you bring the better(although most recent time we were here we just joined some strangers who needed extra persons for their game). They also have laser tag in the back, with two floors(sort of). But get ready to roll with teenagers with much more energy(my thighs still hurt from two days ago playing laser tag there). The staff is very friendly. They have a little bar with drink specials that are cheap. I had a «springbreak». I forgot what was in it but it was a big glass of girly stuff and tasted pretty good for just $ 4. Definitely keep this place in mind if you have a bunch of people and would like to do something other than drinking on an evening.

Imagine 4 of your favorite sports, bundled together, and stuffed into a bumper car. Multiply by 10 cars, signal the ref, start the timer, and hit the gas! Behold, Demolition Ball. The game is not unique to the Midwest, but as far as I know it’s unique to the area. Demo Ball mixes bumper cars and la crosse, at minimum. After that, you can mix in an variety of other sports depending on how you and your group wants to play. The rules are simple and straightforward, but you can pull together knowledge of basketball, hockey, soccer, football, etc. to concoct a viable strategy violent enough to outscore the opposition. Demo Ball isn’t the only feature of the Adrenaline Zone. Check the website for a complete list, but I can speak to the fact that AZ also boasts foosball, arcade games, and… a bar. Be sure and triple-check your directions to to this place as there are multiple incarnations of «Highway 94» in the immediate area(North, South, New, Old, etc). Google Maps, for instance, steered me down the wrong road, causing me to miss out on the first few matches of this awesome, if well-hidden, experience. Bad Google Maps, bad.

i went to Adrenaline Zone /Demolition Ball for a quirky bachelor party and it was pretty awesome! this place is great for parties of all ages, and the whole family. it’s far better than Chuck E. Cheese or Dave & Busters, but sort of along those lines. they feature games that appeal to kids of all ages, plus a bar and karaōke for the«grown-ups.» first off, Demolition Ball might sound like a killer variation of rugby, but it’s really a fun, weird mix of bumper cars, wiffle ball, and hockey or lacrosse. it’s only $ 10.50 per person per half hour game; with teams of 4 or 5 needed, and they have party rates as well. they even have a live referee/announcer calling the game as it happens! Adrenaline Zone also features an awesome lazer tag labyrinth, where you can battle against friends or strangers. with each game you get the most detailed print-out of statistics you will see outside of a video game. games are only $ 7 per person(or less if playing multiple games or also purchasing games of demo ball). they have a few arcade games also, but nothing worth mention. food and drink are readily available. i’m afraid i didn’t try anything but beer, but the pizza looked pretty good. prices were probably comparable to Chuck E. Cheese and D&B.
