How is this not an Olympic event? Bumper cars, lacrosse, basketball all at the same timer! So much fun. I didn't really drink anything but I could easily see how that could get integrated into the mix easily.
The food at the event was fine, pizza, and salad which tasted like every other pizza I have ever had at a place like this. It took me back to post game pizza parties when I was a kid actually.
The staff was cool...you could tell there is a million other things someone would rather be doing then supervising a team morale event on a Thursday at noon. But they didn't hide the fact, instead embraced it and cracked jokes to pass the time, keeping us entertained. -

We were brought here on a little get together and we all had blast. The age group ranged from mid-teen's to established adult (can you tell I have no idea how old anyone is?). There were definitely more adults then there were teenagers and unfortunately the adults got more competitive, leaving the teenagers simply playing bumper cars. :( I'd definitely recommend similar age groups to play together, it'd probably be more fun.
Anyways, as many have said.. whirlyball = lacrosse + bumpercars and it is simply awesome. Enough said. :)
This place is definitely pricey, so it's not a place I'd frequent. But it'd be great for birthday parties, workplace gatherings or some simple fun times. I'd probably go eat elsewhere before or after since you're already paying a pretty penny to play.
As for the smell, I had an issue with it to. But my boyfriend cleared it right up for me. The bumper cars need electricity to run and so there is constant electricity running and sparks flying causing that weird odor. I smelled it at a normal bumper car place as well, so I don't doubt it.
The place is one-of-a-kind, but it's also kind of rundown. It's right on Highway 99 in Edmonds and kind of tucked behind a tattoo parlor. We were surprising the kiddos with Whirlyball, pulled into the parking lot and told them we were all getting tattoos. Hopefully you can picture it. :) -

Whirlyball is always fun, this place is no different. However...the employees are not really friendly.. the place smells like B.O... The food area is always filthy.
although this place is fun I probably wont be back.. I honestly cant deal with the smell -

What has rubber bumpers, involves 1/2 of a lacrosse stick & causes uncontrollable laughter? Whirlyball!!!
Yes...you read correctly: *Whirly* *Ball*
Serious leagues are formed to scoop, shoot and score all from a 2mph bumper car within a b-ball court! But our little birthday party crowd of 10 was only there to ram one another and make up random team names like "Wodkilla" and "the Besties".
$300 ( includes a NON-REDUNDable $150) will get you 90 min. of court time. Drink breaks are NOT built in. So if you need to rehydrate ( wine and beer available!) remember to chug!
Props to the Referee. She yelled out the plays and made the game.
Increase your smile wrinkles! ***And possibly book a massage for the day after! -

Whirlyball is a good time. If you're looking to get dorky and ram your friend into a wall, all while scoring the game winning shot, this is the place for you.
Some friends and I went for a birthday and had a great time. We had 90 minutes of "court" time and crammed in 5 games with a few short drink breaks. The drinks leave a lot to be desired, but I didn't come here for the booze. The last time I was here I am pretty sure I was 12 and it still looks the same, and I do think it is a little bit pricey, but it sure is fun! -

Whirlyball itself - AMAZING!
The attitude of the guy working there? Boo boo. We had scheduled 2 hours for our group to come in and ended up having a lot more people. The staff person took this as if we were trying to do something sketchy and we ended up having to pay another $190. After looking at their website, I don't think that this makes sense according to their pricing.

Lots of fun and not as dangerous as I thought it would be. The ref was great too, games were extra entertaining with the play-by-play from the ref above, and she was a good sport about replacing a bumper car that was really wonky. I'm pretty sure some of them are definitely slower than others (bystanders can observe from above, next to where the ref sits).
For those who are uncoordinated and consider anything remotely resembling grade school gym to be a potential nightmare, a first group outing of whirlyball, might just be the thing! For one, the combination of bumper cars and lacross-ish sticks for the uninitiated might just give everyone else the same uncoordinated disadvantage as you, as it takes a little getting used to --especially the steering.
Fun fact: check out the champion banners on the walls to see the surprisingly long history whirlyball has had in Washington State. -

OMG I LOVE this place. Take out your aggression, drink some beers, and try to score while in a moving bumper car. It kinda sounds like my life, but you have to pay to play here.
But SERIOUSLY... I f ing loved going here for my friend's hubby's bday and screamed and squealed so much I was hoarse the next day.
*DO note, that if you drink, there are a shitload of cops parked up on 99 to bust the people leaving here. Seriously, the staff told us. -

OMFG, was whirlyball a dream!? No, it wasn't a dream, but it WAS two action-packed hours of side-splitting laughter, whooping, hollering, and screaming as we raced around the court in our speedy lil bumper cars trying to scoop up a whiffleball and throw it into an basketball-hoop-like net-thingy bingy.
Seriously, whirlyball is like, the happiest place on earth. It was almost TOO much fun. Just thinking about it puts a smile on my face. The best $40 I've ever spent, for sure.
A few tips: call in advance to make your reservation. You put down a non-refundable deposit (1/2 of the total) to secure your game time. Show up 15 minutes early for a tutorial if you haven't played before.Listed in: Sunday Fundays, rotd's

Review from Will L.

When I was told that my buddy's bachelor party would include a couple hours at Whirlyball, I thought for a moment we were going to a male strip club featuring men with really stretchy....
...Well, you get the picture. (If you don't, give it a couple years until you're in junior high school. That joke will be REALLY funny to you then.)
During a random conversation with random people on the street, I brought up Whirlyball to see if any of them had ever played it. One fellow had, and warned me that I should bring lots of quarters to play video games, as he had gotten bored of it immediately
So I was a bit nervous. I haven't been much for arcade games in years, since I was a graffiti kid in Los Angeles, and my 'crew' hangout was a local Mexican food joint with Street Fighter and Chopper Command. Besides, I like to keep my quarters to perform my famous "Most Awful Magic Trick in the World." Or buy 'Homies' from dispenser machines. However, I think that guy was the exception to the rule. Maybe Whirlyball wasn't "cool" enough or something. I don't know, but we all thought it was a blast.
Our crowd of 18 Bachelor Celebrants descended upon Whirlyball like Moses from the mountain, except imagine, if you will, that Moses tripped on his way down and rolled for several hundred feet, sending rocks, roots, and holy tablatures descending upon his follower's heads while they worshiped a golden cow. That'll teach'em!
OK, obviously it's time to make a new paragraph, as I am just totally rambling with random metaphor that even I cannot explain. Where was I... ah yes. Whirlyball.
Call ahead and reserve space, and make sure to show up with at least 10 people. Five on five seemed to be the magic number. Give yourself at least two hours. Seriously. You're going to wish you had more time.
When we rambled in, they brought us out onto the court and ran through the rules. The gaming field is about twice the size of a basketball court, indoors. There are two sets of bumper cars. Everyone has to fasten seatbelts and hold a racket, similar to the netted end of a lacrosse stick. You steer using a weird crank that allows you to turn, move forward or in reverse, and destroy your chest and sternum if you're speeding along and hit the wall at full tilt.
You score points by flinging a ball against a pressure sensitive net a little bigger than a basketball hoop on a backboard. The two backboards are colored to match the cars (red or yellow), so it's hard to get confused and shoot at the wrong net, unless you're color blind.
You're not allowed to hit other people with your racket, or even hit their racket with yours. You can pass the ball to each other, which is basically like a whiffleball and doesn't hurt (too much) if you nail someone with it. It's difficult to steer a bumper car with a crank while playing banging into other people and trying to catch or pass the ball. Shooting isn't too easy either. Honestly, athletic skill doesn't figure in too much, so if you're not 'naturally' athletic, this can still be a very fun game.
With a bigger group, you're going to wind up with people sitting out. Hence the arcade games and quarters. However, they also serve beer and food; we had a couple plates of chicken strips and fries, and the food was actually pretty decent.
The folks working there were pretty nice as well. For a couple of hours of pretty good fun, a couple beers, and some food, I think we each pitched in around $25. -

I hate to rain on the parade, as all of you seem to love it so much.
I used to love it as well. I used to be part of a large group of people (~30) who had what boiled down to an ad-hoc league going on and we played a *lot*.
That was, however, until we noticed something...
There were certain employees (refs, officials, whatever you want to call them) who developed their "favorite" players, and more to the point they developed attitudes about other players.
At first a couple of us noticed but didn't talk amongst ourselves or say anything.
Later (like a month or so later), during some post-wb festivities, we started comparing notes and realized that most of us were seeing the same thing.
Even the "chosen ones" had to admit that the employees were being blatantly biased, and they were becoming increasingly surly (and in some cases foulmouthed) towards the ones they did not like.
We tolerated it a few more weeks, then approached the employees (refs, whatever), who in response became outright surly at and took every opportunity to penalize anyone who so much as spoke a word about.
Towards the end and out of the ~30 of us, there were just a few that the employees would even bother being courteous to, and the rest they just treated like crap. That's the only word for it.
So a few of us approached the management, and they gave us some canned speach about it all being in fun and they were sure we were overreacting and the employees have the final say and it's all about safety first (which it wasn't, the "chosen ones" were allowed to rampage around running into people every which way...), blah blah blah.
Well, that was pretty much the end of it. About half of us quit just after that and our ad-hoc league dissolved shortly thereafter.
Interestingly, after we quit going and took ~30 people and their routine return business with us, both the management and some of the employees took to calling us, one after another (1 or 2 a week) for months, and all but begging us to come back.
NOT.
Like I said, I used to love it and initially it was a lot of fun. However, like a lot of pool halls and other such "sports" establishments, the employees are given free reign to make it personal and be a$#hol#$ about things, and that's just what they do. -

My boyfriend plays Whirlyball competitively (he's in a league that plays every week and even travels to the national tournament every year - yes, there IS a national Whirlyball tournament), so I've seen a lot of Whirlyball games and I've heard a lot about the sport...but hadn't ever really played at all. I did play ONE game previously, way back in sixth grade. However, since I wasn't one of the so-called "popular girls," no one ever passed me the ball and I just drove around aimlessly, kind of bored....
I finally got the opportunity to play a LOT of Whirlyball last weekend and it was a blast! It's definitely hard at first - the steering mechanism for the bumper cars takes some getting used to. The first couple of games I played were a bit difficult, as you're getting used to not only the steering and speed of the vehicle, but also how to pass and catch accurately while in a moving bumper car. Once you get the hang of it, it's a lot of fun - especially when playing with a group of good friends!
The building is definitely dated, but it totally fits with this place. There are sweet Whirlyball designs painted on the walls and the arcade games are ancient, but fun. There's a snack bar that serves all kinds of food and also serves beer! There's a large area for practicing, which is helpful for everyone, but especially those new to the sport.
I think it would be fun to play in a league, but they DO get pretty competitive and I have I feeling that isn't a very good idea for me! I'll probably just stick to pick-up games and birthday party events for now. I definitely want to play again soon though! Someone I know needs to have a party here, stat!Listed in: Excellent Edmonds

SO FUN!
This is a game that everyone will love -- I guarantee it! Even if you think you have no skills, you can play this game. It doesn't matter if you have lousy aim or you can't drive or you can't tell your right from your left: you will have a blast.
It's hard to explain, so just go there and see for yourself. You'll be hooked. A bunch of my coworkers and I went yesterday for some quality bonding and now we want to have our Christmas party there. Yes, it smells like sweaty gym socks, but you'll soon forget all about it. And yes, you might be covered in random, bizarre bruises the next day, but you'll wear them proudly. Because the glory of the night before will make all the pain and lingering smelliness disappear. -

Oh my freakin' god. This was the most fun I have had sitting down! It was only by chance that I came here -- a previous workplace had an morale event here -- and I must admit I was skeptical. Pfft. Bumper cars? Basketball? Sport?
It was exhilarating and hilarious all at the same time. I didn't stop laughing for the entire match(es) I played and had so much fun my sides hurt.
The food and drinks are not recommended, but who comes to a place like this to eat? Grab a game and have fun! -

I was planning an offsite event for my team at work and was brainstorming about possible ideas for a group of 30. If you think about it there really aren't too many options since work functions have many perameters you have to consider:
-something new that they wouldn't necessarily go out and do on their own
-something that keeps peoples interest
-co-workers don't want to have to think to much at an offsite (a day that is supposed to be fun for them)
-team work which will build team unity
I had remembered hearing about Whirlyball from a friend who raved about it and after reading some of the reviews online, many had gone here on work outings as well, I decided it would be a fun thing to do with the group. Well it was a great event! We went from 11-1pm (they open at 12pm but for extra money you can have them open early) and there were 25 of us. I booked both courts so 4 teams (5 people per team) could be playing at once and one team sat out each round. Everyone was laughing and having a great time. The good thing about Whirlyball it doesn't matter what your athletic ability is since you are in a bumper car throwing around a whiffle ball and trying to shoot it into a quasi basketball hoop...I mean really. Who practices this sort of thing daily??!!
I highly recommend it for a team outing. Also 2 hours is perfect, any more and you will start to feel like a rag doll being tossed around. The other nice thing was since we had reserved both courts we were the only people in the place. -

WOW. I totally have a Whirlyball injury. But it was so worth it!
This game is a blast. Perfect for corporate events since you can hit that annoying guy in HR at full on "ramming speed" all in the name of the game. Anyone can play seeing as how this is basically a "sport" in a car.
They have a delightful selection of deep fried foods that go well with air hockey and foosball, and some pretty decent pizza. They had everything ready in a jiff as soon as our party showed up, and all of the staff was very friendly. Even if I was totally robbed of that last point! ;)
Go n' git out all your work aggressions - next time I'm totally wearing a sweatband and shin guards. -

What do you get when you combine the sport of lacrosse, bumper cars and basketball? Yeah. I didn't believe it either but it actually exists. This unique sport definitly appeals to the male gender but I've seen the gals jump into the bumper cars and whip around the court like escapees from a Nascar event.
You gotta at least go watch this sport so you can say, "Now I've seen everything!" -

Whirlyball = best. thing. ever!!!!
SO much fun!! So much fun that, after spending an hour and a half playing (read: spinning around in circles while getting jostled around and laughing non-stop at the never-ending hilarity) with friends and family for my husband's 30th birthday, we immediately joined a league that was starting the next week. THAT'S RIGHT, I'm a Whirlyball LEAGUER now!
(Truthfully, we were more entertained by the idea of a "whirlyball league" than anything, but it's turned out to be amazing amounts of fun! Cheaper, too. We found the staff there to be fun and helpful -- they really want to make the playing field fair in the beginner leagues and offer free workshops and tips, etc).
Anyone can play and everyone will have incredible amounts of fun. It's a complete bad mood-eraser / exhilarating distraction from everyday life and just the most fun ever. Oh, and did I mention how much FUN it is?!

Whirlyball is one of those things that is amazingly addictingly fun when you first start. After your first game or session you'll be bugging your friends or co-workers trying to organize another outing. Once you've played a few times and the novelty has worn off it's not quite as insanely fun but it's still a good time.
The thing that ended up ruining it for us was the refs. First off, they apparently have different levels of "juice" they can give the cars, and there seems to be no rhyme or reason to who they let have the high-powered versions of the cars. Sometimes you can bribe them to get the good stuff and sometimes you can't. The bigger problem is how strict they are on enforcing their stupid rules. I understand the safety issue, but if we're not hurting anybody or the other cars who cares how we play? This isn't golf, just relax the rules already.
Heh, I realize this isn't sounding like a 4-star review, but it really is a riotously fun game the first few times you play. Get a group together and head out some weekend, but don't join a league or anything lame like that. -

A few of my friends play Whirlyball competitively and have been trying to get me to play it for a while now. Well, I finally got my chance this weekend and it was a BLAST!
The idea of Whirlyball is that you drive around in a bumper car (don't worry about gas fumes, it's all electric) and you hold a "scoop" and you drive around and toss a ball around to your teammates and try and score a goal. Each game is comprised of two fifteen minute halves, the team with the most points wins. Pretty simple, right?
This game involves a lot of strategy, but I had no idea what in the heck I was doing when I first started. I was glad nobody on my team had any clue either, that's what made it fun. At some points I was just ramming my bumper car into people because it was ridiculously fun. I can see why people would want to rent this place for corporate events and parties, it is tons of fun and you really have to work as a team to be successful.
There is plenty to do during downtimes too. There is a practice area where you can throw balls at "goals" that are the same height as on the court. And if you just want to hang out there are video games you can play and concessions to be had (including beer!).
If I had any sort of competitive bone in my body I might be tempted to join a league, but I do think it would be fun to come here for my birthday this year. I definitely want to come back here again! -

Whirlyball is a made up game and as such I suck at it. As in I'm no good at all. But then again I never mastered bumper cars and so sucking at whirlyball is no surprise.
There is a bumper car, a lacrosse stick and a basket. In essence I was set up for failure. Thank you whirlyball gods. But if you like to play nonsensical games that are tons of fun by all means jump right in. I'm getting ready to go out for a second round myself! -

Oh Wow.
As others have faithfully reviewed, I must agree. If you want a low learning curve, major fun activity for any age group, then WhirlyBall takes the cake, and pretty much all the frosting too!
I was hesitant about going, it's basically lacrosse plus bumper cars meet shooting from basketball. Our groups of 20 was perfect, there are 10 cars, 5 per team, so we rotated. When you get there, they give you a few brief instructions, and you are on your way. The ref there was cool, but fair about the playing, watching out for us and keeping us safe.
So what happened? There was screaming, yelling, pushing, bumping, team mayhem, slamming, hectic passing, and in the 15 minute period, it was just plain memorable awesomeness. We played for a total of two hours, and it was one of the best two hours of sporting fun I have experienced in a the last couple months.
Recommendation?
Make a reservation, GET YOUR FRIENDS THERE NOW! I think a group of 10 or 20 is perfect. There is no reason to not play, and when you go, just be prepared to spend time, crashing into your friends. -

Whirly Ball ROCKS. A few colleagues and I decided to embark on adventure of whirly ball in an attempt to boost morale and, frankly, to get out of the office on a Friday afternoon. The staff were courteous and organized, the place was clean and accommodating, and the actual act of whirly ball was tremendously fun. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a fun getaway with a group of friends or co-workers.

So bumper cars always seemed a little pointless to me, but add two targets, a lacross style racquet and a wiffle ball and, what do you know, it's a ton of fun!
I brought a group of friends who were visiting and we had a blast. Blocking shots, intercepting passes, making the shot with nothin' but net, all while crashing into each other, awesome.
Great idea combining the competitive essence of basketball and the fun silliness of bumper cars.
Steering the cars is the hardest part to master, there's a weird crank that you rotate instead of a steering wheel, service isn't the best and for $200 for 2 hours of play, it's not the cheapest, but overall, it's an entertaining and unique activity for a fun-loving group. -

I like it here because they have beer:)
If you are a guy and dont like your balls this is a good public place to mess em up!
Basically out of the 10 or so parties I have thrown for my staff over the past 3 years this was by faaaaaarrrrr the funnnnnnnessssst and we will probably have all of our parties here until I die in 2080.
Also I read on wikipedia that Kid Rock has a fuckin whirly ball court at his crib!!! I dont like Kid Rock but I would do that thing where I make him think I do just so I could go over and play Whirlyball and then leave like, Ill call you later Kid Rock... Not! -

Great place for a birthday party... for 30-year-olds. I showed up a little late, so didn't get to hear all of the instructions, which meant I didn't know all the rules, or know how to drive the cars, but who cares, it was awesome! The steering is tricky, but made for lots of laughs and good pictures when people got stuck in the corner or accidentally went in the completely wrong direction. I hope to go back again soon, it was tons of fun!

I had never even heard of Whirlyball until my co-workers and I had our annual summer event at Whirlyball in Edmonds. We all had a blast. My co-workers range in age from about 24 to about 60 and everyone, I mean everyone, had fun in those crazy bumper cars! You get to just act like a kid again and all the competitiveness comes out! I highly recommend it for any group. They have decent pizza, and a great selection of beer to drink, and of course sodas. The staff was very nice and helpful, too. They do play-by-play announcing while you're playing which is pretty funny! A really fun couple of hours!

So much fun! I went here for a birthday party with a group of 12+ people. It is a lot harder than it looks to pick up the whiffle ball type thingie with the jai alai/lacrosse mitt thingie while steering a bumper car one-handed, but it is definitely an adrenaline rush when you make a goal. Even if you've never tried it, you will be playing in no time. We paid about $30 a per person for 3 hours of play, but it was worth it. You may want to rent it for less time, maybe 2 hours because you can get worn out after a while. Great for people who play team sports. There are also concessions such as beer, wine, soft drinks, pizza, hot dogs and hot wings, if you get hungry.

I have never played whirlyball but after this weekend, I am a huge fan! Grab a group of your friends (8-10) and try it! You will want more after an hour!!!

Holy crap was this fun! But also utterly exhausting. The only reason this place doesn't get the fifth star is the decor is not exactly amazing. Plus they don't let you bring a cake for parties which sucks.

I went and played this for a Work event. All the Employees really seemed to like their jobs and were very helpful . This place is AWSOME. Think lacrosse in bumper cars! It is a simple game and lots of fun. You need no athletic ability whatsoever.
I am going to start playing in a league. I would recommend this for anyone looking for a team event or just wanting to have a good time with friends. All the Employees really seemed to like their jobs and were very helpful .
P.S. They have a decent selection of beer at a reasonable price. -

So much fun!! I arranged a work group of 10 people, which was a perfect size. It was a really fun team bonding activity even though there was a really wide range of athleticism & activity levels. Everyone seemed to have about the same level of issues with driving and shooting the ball. It really started to click once we started communicating with each other to generate a strategy. Our referee was great, did a good job calling out suggestions if people got stuck.
