What parents & players say about The Vault

A Wonerdful Place!

Real Google Reviews

The Vault is a wonderful place to bring the kids to game! It is a safe enough atmosphere to drop off older kids with friends to game on days off school or after school to blow off a little steam. The food is great and the staff is friendly and helpful. Prices are responsible and there are passes available. They also have a card shop up front now.

"Parents can Hang out״

Real Google Reviews

This is a very cool place with a great atmosphere. Our kids loved the VR and all the gaming PCs. They have tons of games to choose from as well. Parents are allowed to hang out at the concession stand without having to pay to play. Prices are very reasonable and staff was friendly and very helpful.

״The best 9th birthday ever!״

Real Google Reviews

My son had the best 9th birthday ever! So the vault wasn’t our first option. But ended up being the best option. We were suppose to go to a 40 acre paint ball game to play a “live” game of fake Fortnite. And for the kids to get away from the screens. Well the rain had other plans for us so I was searching for something. Thankfully we came across the vault and I read their ultimate party detail on the website and seams like a great fit for us. The kids had so much fun on all the gaming consoles. The PC’s were a bit hard to navigate but the workers were happy to help. Some of the kids needed help getting on the VR as well and the workers were on it! I would suggest the vault ordering larger pizzas for parties as they only come in like a personal size pizza, not nearly enough for over 30 people. The party room also didn’t fit everyone it’s super small. No where to put bags or really anything. We will continue to keep going back, they even had a projector for an immersive game for the toddlers that attended the party. Really something for everyone! 6/10 will definitely be back!
