Advice on the ESPN Zone

[chrisnjilly]

Hello everyone,

We notice that we get “a $10 ESPN Zone Arena Game card” with our hopper bonus ticket.

This will be of more interest to our DSs - aged 11 and 14 but wonder if anyone has any information on the costs of the games and activities in the zone or any other advice or comments that could be of help.

Thanks in advance,

All of the games are sports related. Some are video games and some are interactive like the basketball pop a shot. Your $10 will give you x amount of points on your card, and each game has a different point value. If memory serves most of the games are between $.50-$2.00. OF course the fancier the game the more it will cost. There is also a rock climbing wall, but I think it's only open in the evenings. For you parents there is a full bar and more TV screens than you can count. You really must take your boys there, they will think that they have died and gone to heaven. While you're there make sure to have some food, it's really very good!

I thought I read about different seating areas of the ESPN place - a grill, a screening room, and an arcade area. Same food in all places? Do you get to choose your section? Are there others? If you are not there to watch a game but to play - do you choose a certain area, like the arcade?

There are two separate restaurant seating areas down stairs and the game room upstairs. The right half of the downstairs area is the "screening room" it has more of a sports bar atmosphere with a giant wall of televisions. It has a bar area with maybe about 30 tables. Some times when I have gone this area has been restriced to +21, but I can't seem to figure out the pattern on it.

The left side of the downstairs is the grill, which has a more open feel to it. There are individual televisions all over the place, and you can see in to the open kitchen. Upstairs is the arcade, I'm not sure if they serve food up there or not. Each seating area serves the identical menu, and you can choose which section you would like to sit in. I prefer the Screening Room because it has a more adult atmosphere to it, and I love having all of those TVs right in front of me.
