The Arcade

At the arcade, you’ll enjoy the more modern games – including the latest racing games, puzzles and more.

But if you’re into the old-school video games – we see you Donkey Kong lovers – they’ve got an area just for you.

No matter what you fancy, there’s a game for you.

Want to go head-to-head against your friends? They’ve got it covered with their group gaming style games, allowing 3-4 players to compete at once.

P.S. Don’t forget to turn those wins into prizes!

Laser Tag

Want to make your experience at Main Event even more epic? Book a game or two of laser tag!

The arena is based off the movie I Am Legend and features lots of glow in the dark graffiti.

An average game lasts 12 minutes and can hold up to 30 participants.

If you want to make the game more interesting, opt to play 29 versus 1. Can you last the entire game without being tagged?

Planning a laser tag birthday party? Don’t forget about the scavenger hunt in the laser tag arena.

Bowling

Experts and novice bowlers are welcome to hit the lanes at Main Event. Take your game up a notch with bright, colored lanes and LED lights.

Catch the game while you bowl or just enjoy the bright lights!

Want to celebrate a special event at Main Event? Reserve the secluded VIP Lounge complete with swing seat, 4 lanes to bowl and of course the Always Better Together grass wall (hello fun photo-op!).

Bowling VIP Area

From giant booths and tables for seating, to TVs everywhere you look, you’ll never miss out on the action on or off the lane.

Restaurant & Bar Area

You’re sure to work up an appetite after everything Main Event has to offer. Why not round out your experience with some good eats and drinks?

Grab a comfy booth or table and order until your belly is full.

Play a game of pool while waiting for dinner or round out your evening with some friendly competition

If you’re still looking for post dinner activities, you’ll find pool tables and a shuffleboard in this area of Main Event as well.

The Lost Pin

To celebrate the grand opening of Main Event, they are hosting a scavenger hunt for the lost pin around Grand Rapids.

Watch for two location clues and a photo to go live on their social media – the person that finds the pin will win free Main Event for the year. The person to find the golden pin (the last one) will be the winner of free Main Event for life!

Happy pin hunting!
