Every which way I turned I was met with action packed adventure!  The evening was truly a night of non-stop excitement!  When we walked in, each member of our party applied for an authentic Action City Fun License, which is basically a pre-paid card that eliminates the need to haul a cup of tokens around to play the games.  To play a game, you simply swipe your card and go to town!  It is super addicting so three of us blew through $130 scary fast.  

These kinds of places always seem so expensive to me for what they are, but since I don't go to them on any sort of regular basis, I have no real basis for comparison.  Granted, it was a fun, random night out and it was a fun alternative for 20-something people who felt like skipping a night at the bar.  I think it would also be a blast for kids' parties, as Action City had a number of private "theme" rooms where groups could stake their own private claim for pizza consumption, coat storage, and tired mom resting zone.  It looked like these required a reservation.  Otherwise, there were open tables available for smaller, casual groups.  

I have to add that the highlight of our night was cashing in all the tickets we'd accumulated within the group to purchase a crockpot from the Action City store.  One member of the group was getting ready to head out on her own into the real world and hadn't purchased a crockpot yet.  Thanks, Action City!  Ka-Pow!
