THIS IS THE AWESOMEST ARCADE IN THE WORLD!!! they also have gokarts, bumper cars (my favorite!), climbing wall, mini golf, laser tag, bowling, a ticket store, a ballpit, and even a maze!!! this place is awesome and the best part is you get a card to store all your tickets and money!!! this is WAAAY better than any of the arcades i've been to in San Francisco.

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!
