We recently hosted my son’s birthday party at The Main Event in Norman and unfortunately it was a very disappointing experience. I had called the morning before to confirm setup time and was told I could arrive 15 minutes early. However, when we arrived, the party before us was still going on and we weren’t able to access our area until about 20 minutes after our scheduled start time.
From there, things only got more frustrating. We were told our food was running late and that we might not even be able to eat and have cake in the room we paid for — they suggested we take it to-go instead. After pushing back, they eventually figured it out, but it was clear the staff was not prepared. We had to repeatedly ask for basic essentials like plates, forks, and drinks, which should have been ready without us having to track someone down.
It later became clear that the event planner had overbooked the space, which led to the delays and lack of organization. Even after speaking with multiple managers during the party, nothing was done to make it right.
Overall, what should have been a fun and smooth celebration turned into a stressful experience. I would not recommend booking a party here until they address their scheduling and...
Read moreMain Event in Norman has hit a home run with their new location! As someone who recently visited, I can confidently say it's the perfect spot for family fun, a night out with friends, or a memorable party. The atmosphere is fantastic, and the fact that it wasn't overly crowded on a recent visit was a huge plus, making it easy to enjoy everything without long waits.
What really stands out is the incredible variety of entertainment. The arcade is packed with a huge selection of games, catering to all ages and interests. Whether you're a fan of classic games or the latest hits, there's something for everyone.

Read moreI bought a VIP birthday party for my two sons. The party was scheduled to start at 12:00. When we arrived, the girl serving our table had set the pizza out 20 minutes early, before all the guests had arrived. By 12:00, she was already trying to serve the pizza. Although we were told the party would last two hours, at 12:30 we were informed that we needed to clear out of the party room by 1:00 and started boxing our pizza. The room then stayed empty until we left around 1:45. Because we had to leave the party room early, we ended up opening presents in the game area. Overall, I would not recommend buying the birthday package. It was a very disappointing experience. If you are planning a birthday, I suggest eating and opening presents elsewhere and just buying game passes—it will be cheaper. When it comes to hosting a party, you will get better service...
