Elev8 Fun Tampa

Great place for a date night or family night. Bowling. Mini golf. Laser tag. Arcade with a variety of games. Bar, food. Cool place for a birthday party. Many packages available. Inexpensive. Will def be visiting again. There is something for everyone. Give it a try. You won’t be disappointed.

This is the best arcade and entertainment spot in Tampa! They have plenty of games for all ages. They also have multiples of the same game so everybody can play. Their food court/ restaurant is spacious with plenty if seating with a decent bar, and they have an additional bar on the second floor. The karting is very fun and the track is very good. We recommend this spot and everybody in the family would enjoy it.

Great place with a variety of activities for all ages. I love that it it located in the mall . With a 15 year old and an infant everyone can stay entertained. It does have lot of potential, and being new there are some kinks to work out. We went on a Sunday , and although the lines for activities were not that bad. The Registration process can be improved. We would recommend having it an option to download the app where customers can register online and purchase activities online as well, similar to Dave & Busters . There were four kiosk located downstairs in the2 locations , all of which was not working when we arrived. Internet connection was down. But once we got to the line there were great and affordable specials. Packages start at $35 for 3 to 4 activities depending on what you choose. The options are mini golf, go karts, laser tag, arcade, rope course and bowling.nnGo karts were New and Electric. So you didn't have to smell the gas fumes. Top speed of 35 mph. These karts do not have power steering so a bit difficult to turn. So far one of the best go kart places we've been to in Tampa. Located on the second floor it is air-conditioned in the equipment is a newer. A bonus is the helmets are still so new they don't have an odor and sweat as other go kart places in Tampa.nnNote - there could be more signs. You enter at the blue door which will be closed so it was confusing on where the entrance is. It does not get crowded as you are assigned a certain time to keep the groups small. There is also an elevator located to the far left of the entrance. It is not labeled , also a blue door. Having a stroller , the elevator was very helpfulnnGlow in the dark mini golf was a lot of fun. There are 18 holes . I would recommend hiring another staff member to stay on the course to possibly time large groups who are holding up the line. It took about 5 to 10 minutes waiting on a larger group of kids in front of us , so we just skipped them midway and that worked out well. The courses were very cleverly designed and we would definitely go back for more mini golf and other activities.

Took my younger brother here for his birthday and had a blast! It was such an amazing experience from the friendly staff to all the amazing activities there are to do. Started off with go karts then onto laser tag before we hit the arcade

I chose Elev8 Fun Tampa for my son’s 15th bday, I was hoping to just relax & let the kids have a blast …. Unfortunately, that was not the case. I usually like to post more positive reviews, but due to the fact this particular location is still new, I see potential, & we spent over $700, it’s worth my review/opinion.nnFor starters they offer military discount that is why I gave 3 stars rather than 2, (kudos to any establishment that honors our military family). I filled out a request for the party on line & didn’t even receive a phone call until 3 DAYS before the party . I was told, they do not have their party rooms available yet but if I arrived early enough, I could reserve tables & a host will be appointed for our food & assist w/the activities. NOT the case…. It was uncomfortably HOT in the entire building. I was able to ask a family for their tables as they left & set up my own table cloths & cupcakes .. 30 minutes went by {after requesting 3 different servers to take my order} until someone finally came & took an order. Once the food arrived a totally different server took the rest of our orders.nThe FOOD: We ordered 3 orders of boneless chicken wings, in 3 flavors, 5 large pizzas, fries & onion rings. The onion rings were pretty good but the pizza was extremely greasy and tasted like old reheated, frozen pizza. Wings were soggy & 2 of our party guests got sick that couldn’t even participate in the activities.nTHE ACTIVITIES: , holy WOW, that was the most stressful & disorganized torture. We were told to stand in a line [backed up almost to the entrance] to sign a waivers. & to purchase the activity cards(for all 10 kids). Prior to, I asked several members of their very YOUNG staff & managers if they had online waivers & had no clue those waivers were available on line. Thankfully my son found the waivers on line so we had already had that part completed while standing in the 25 minute line. Fast forward, we get to the front desk to make our purchase; absolutely no party discounts offered (even though I was told there would be). However the young man was very patient, helpful & pleasant as we decided what activities to choose & did provide a military discount. We chose LASER TAG, GO CARTS, & ARCADE.nLaser tag was a blast … the staff working the counter accommodated our entire party & even took our picture NO COMPLAINTS (besides the heat). On the contrary, the Go-carts, the staff was impatient & rude. One of our kids that got sick from the pizza ran off during the video. The staff member didn’t even allow someone else (who sighed a waiver) to take her place. Money lost! Another staff member , put one of our kids in a car w/a dead battery. However the track was very nice & everyone enjoyed the actual event.nMeanwhile, a server was upset that we had our food & belongings on the tables during our activities & asked my daughter if we would move while the rest of us were finishing the activities UPSTAIRS, despite the fact half the tables were still empty , So instead of buying any additional activities, we chose to pack up & leave.nLong story way too long… my recommendation, .not a lot to do for smaller kids under 7, perfect for teens or adult date nights.nFor staff/ownership: Do not offer parties if that can not be accommodated. More experienced MATURE management is definitely a must. Industrial ceiling fans would help cool the facility down, and The food & restaurant management NEEDS to be revamped. Maybe throw in a team meeting before each shift when something new has become available(ie: online waivers) to help diminish the long lines & guest confusion especially on a weekend. I hope to visit again & have a much better outcome…
