That's why I would rather stick to Chuck E Cheese (which recently got renovated, removing the robots in favor of a dance floor) until both Lazer Zone and Pete's Party Castle revamp their arcades and prizes.

Lazer Zone was first opened when Bel Air Mall had their arcade. For all 5 years, they haven't been improving their arcade and their prize counter. There are a few games that aren't working great and their prize wall isn't that great. There are nothing that you really want at the prize counter, there isn't that much. I tried getting one of the owners to being in more ticket games such as the coin pusher ones and others and have their prize counter filled up with many amazing items, all which they claim that were working on bringing more of them but still yet, they haven't done anything to prove.

Pete's Party Castle has been around for almost a decade and they don't even reach Chuck E Cheese's level. I mean, they have all the great games but there are a few of them that aren't working and their prize counter is filled with cheap items while the expensive ones are so very limited. They haven't even fixed some of the games.

Mobile still deserves a Dave and Buster's Main Event, Round One, and other entertainment venues like them. I loved going to the one that was in Bel Air Mall. I've been enjoying it until it closed down almost 4 years ago. I miss going there alot and I would go anything to make a difference to follow Player's Arcade/Cyberstation example. Player's Arcade/Cyberstation did a very good job at managing their games and prizes.

No offense to Game Over Retro Pub, Gamestation, and Engage Gaming... Those are really amazing gaming/arcade places that must go to but the fun in Mobile isn't the same without the arcade Bel Air Mall used to have back then. I rather stick to Margaritaville's Excape in Biloxi, MS, Eastern Shore Lanes in Spanish Fort, Arcade at OWA in Foley, and Fat Daddy's Arcade in Orange Beach, AL/Destin, FL.
Man, just go to Dollar Tree and TJMax and buy some cheap toys. Why you going to redemption arcades and getting mad at the prizes?

Why is it so hard for Mobile to obtain a family friendly center like this?

Surge Entertainment Center is coming to Bel Air Mall on the old old Belk Building.

We still could get a Dave and Buster's in Mobile because of this

February 25th is opening day. I think it's in the old Toys R Us location at Bridge Street. That's only a couple of miles from Dave & Busters.
