Hijinx: The Funtivity Spot | Bowling, Laser Tag, Arcade Games, Ropes Course, Playground | JT's Grill Restaurant — Attraction in Jonesboro

Has some really fun games especially in the FPS style including some arcade adaptations of great console games, several games of skill/chance that are engaging and enjoyable, and a handful vintage or vintage inspired boardwalk and carnival games. I'm a huge fan of the test your strength punching bag, and skeeball. Also you'd never notice but there's a whole bowling alley stuck to the back of the place!. Also the laser tag is not only one of the only places around to go to play, it's also quite well built and really involving especially for an indoor setup and for an area this size. I still have 3 stars because unfortunately it's gold plated in that place. Everhthing is notably higher priced than you'd think was necessary with the volume of revenue generating machine s and activities and the sheer magnitude of people that go through their doors. And no game or activity as awe-inspiringly guilty of this cash trapping than the snack and refreshment area. I can not accurately express the mind-numbing blunder that is the menu. The food may be tasty (i dont know I didn't eat it) but it can't be take-a-Payday-loan-for-snacks good! In all seriousness, 4 dollars for a medium drink and no refills, 6 bucks for those tiny lunchable style nachos, 7 dollars for a burger, 5 for a hotdog, and God forbid you order one of the plate meals. It seriously is almost comical, the lack of respect it must take to willingly and inexplicably ignore so much of what it is to have good customer service and appreciation. Im not implying that they actively to and intently planned to bilk people of their money, honestly. But there's no reasonable explanation for just how overpriced every thing is. However given that it does give memorable times of fun to look back on with family and friends. For this I'll say it's worth a trip or two a year with the understanding that you will set a budget for the activities you want to do and avoid all others. Shame though could easily be a 5 star attraction. On a brighter note, in regard to the over all shape of the place, it is well maintained, very clean and, visually,...

We bought the value family deal. It's $74.99 and includes an hour and a half of bowling, $25 in arcade games to split, a pizza, a pitcher of a liquid of your choice, and an extra attraction (laser tag, unlimited ball-blasting/ball experiments/ball pit, unlimited jungle gym, inflatables, a sky walk with harness, etc.) per person. It was a deal for five people, and boy was it worth it! We had a lot of fun with the bowling and the ball blasting-pit-experiment attraction was a surprising amount of fun. We had to figure out the physics and degree of randomness for the direction that the balls would shoot in, and it was a lot of fun. We have yet to use the game cards because we lost the time in the ball area and had to meet some people for dinner!

The food was excellent. The pizza was soft, but not too soft. It wasn't burnt. Their fried pickle chips were new to me, and I loved them. The curly fries were really good and the tea was not over- or under-steeped. My sister devoured the chicken wings so fast that I didn't get to try them, but in her ten-year-old words, "They were so good!"

We only visit Jonesboro once a year, but we all hope that by the time we come back next summer in 2017 it's still open, because most good things in Jonesboro have been disappearing, sadly.

Overall, 6/5. Amazing service, products and...

This is my kiddos favorite place. We come on Wednesday when things are half-price. We eat dinner (usually a pizza!) and play games, bowl, laser tag. I expect to spend at least $75 here when we go. If you're playing games and eating, expect to spend at least that much in order for your kiddo to have a decent time. If you are just bowling, you can make your money go further. Though kinda pricey, it's the only one of it's kind in this area. Things are kept clean. One star off because there have been times we've made the trip up and something is going on which they are either closed for or closing early and I don't get my money's worth. The website isn't always updated accordingly. They have been doing these Teen Nights in July where on Wednesday at 8, they close the building for everyone who isn't a teenager and while I think that's neat for local teens, making the Teen Night on the same night as the half-price night is not cool. The last time I got off work, got home, and brought my 12yo up, we found out after dripping $100 that we'd have only an hour to eat and play games, and that wasn't clearly expressed on the website or by any signage. We only heard it about 20 minutes in via an announcement over...
