Prices in California, US (2026)

“Starting price” is the lowest price we found — usually per player or for the shortest session. Prices change, so confirm with the venue before booking.

Common questions

What these games have in common is that they work for a group and badly for one person. Beyond that they differ in everything: impact, age minimums, session length and price. The tabs above split them, and the age of the group is usually the quickest way to choose.

Which place is right for us?

There are 81 venues here across several kinds of games, from indoor arenas to outdoor fields. The tabs above split them by game; after that, three things sort the list quickly — the starting price, indoor or outdoor, and the reviews. Full details open with More, without leaving the page.

Any discounts or specials?

Yes — 1 venue currently has a deal running, marked with next to the name. The terms vary: weekday rates, afternoon slots, a group price that kicks in at ten or twelve players, a second game at half price. Specials change faster than anything else on a venue page, so check the current terms on the venue itself.

How much does it cost?

Several places start at $4 per person: Escape VR and VOLTZ VR. Worth checking what that figure buys at each one, because an identical number can mean an hour of play with all the gear at one venue and admission only at another.

What happens if it rains?

Both kinds are here — 58 indoor and 29 outdoor. The filters above separate them in one click. If you are booking weeks ahead for a fixed date, indoor removes the one variable you cannot control.

Is this good for a kids birthday?

Most places here are set up for it — 52 venues have at least one of the party pieces: Birthday Packages — 41 venues, Party Room — 28, Arcade — 21, Party Host — 13, Event Photos — 2. The thing to confirm is the room, not the game: a venue with a dedicated party room runs birthdays on a schedule, with a slot for cake and presents, while one without it means eating in the lobby. Ask about the minimum number of kids and whether you can bring your own food.

Is there anywhere to eat?

54 of the venues here have food or a place to sit: Lounge Area — 47 venues, Soft Drinks — 11, Bar — 5, BBQ Area — 4. For a party that matters as much as the game — the game takes an hour, the rest of the afternoon happens around a table.

Can we make a whole afternoon of it?

28 venues have something beyond the game itself: Arcade — 21 venues, Escape Rooms — 7, Go-Karts — 6, Bowling — 5. The others are built around one activity, which suits a group that knows exactly what it came for.

What is actually on site?

81 venues here have the basics covered: On-Site Referees — 80 venues, Gear Rental — 55, Changing Rooms — 32. These are the details nobody thinks about until they are missing — a place to change out of the gear, somewhere to keep bags, a room that is a reasonable temperature in August. The icons on each card show what that venue has, and More opens the full list.

Is there anything unusual on this list?

A few things show up at only a handful of venues: Party Host — 13 venues, Soft Drinks — 11, Escape Rooms — 7, Go-Karts — 6, Bar — 5. Not reasons to pick a place on their own, but if one of them matters to your group, the shortlist just got much shorter.
