It is rare that you attend a facility that offers so many different options for activities that there wont be a miss on at least some level. But from Axe Throwing, to Laser Tag, to a Virtual Experience, to the Go Carts and all others, each experience in and of itself was exceptional. Staff were courteous, friendly, and knowledgeable about each activity, and even behind the masks we were all wearing I could see smiles from ear to ear from all of our staff. If you need to get your team together during these times of separation, I cannot think of a better venue that is able to provide adequate space for a large gathering. Do not hesitate, call today and book the facility. You will not be disappointed.

Go karts, ropes and axe throwing were awesome, so was the new outside space! Amp Up had a nice staff and was clean...not to mention hand sanitizer stations were throughout and the Crew was constantly cleaning.

We did axe throwing for an hour and 1 go cart race. The axe throwing was fun, very laid back environment and helpful staff in demonstrating what to do, we caught on quick as we had never done axe throwing; totally great way to relieve stress. The carting was fun, steering very tight but easy to manage and the track was simple. As a beginner, I didnt struggle with handling. There was an arcade, a VR area with FPS games, laser tag and a suspended rope maze/course above the arcade. Good snack bar type foods, adult beverages as well as non alcoholic. Looks to be great for parties! We enjoyed ourselves though we only spent about an hour and 20 minutes here, would definitely return!

We hosted a Staff event and rented the whole facility! It was the perfect space to safely socially distance and yet still be able to be with co-workers we havent seen in person since March! The Amp Up staff was awesome from the planning to the day of the event! Food was great! There was plenty to do and plenty of space, even for those who are not in to go karting, etc. I highly recommend to anyone looking for a place for a corporate event!

Perfect for older teens and adults. Celebrated my sons graduation. Masks are required and hand sanitizer is plentiful. Was a little disappointed that the skee ball wasnt working right but the arcade was still fun. ProKarting was awesome, 4 kids 16 -19 loved it and the lazer tag. Ropes course was more of a challenge they they thought but thoroughly enjoyed it. Next time we will do axe throwing as we didnt have enough time this weekend.

This was our sons 16 birthday and there wasnt anything else that we could possibly do for his birthday because we are still in the midst of the pandemic. We really wanted to make it as memorable as we could, so my wife purchased the birthday package for him. From beginning to end, this was an amazing and stress free experience!!! The staff is super dope!!! Even Though the staff was young men and women, they were super professional, accommodating, attentive and engaging. If I could rate 10 stars..... I would!!

I attended a work party at AMP UP and it was so much fun. We had an Italian buffet of salad, toasted ravioli, pasta and pizza. It was delicious. Ax Throwing was a blast as well as Corn Hole and the large wooden dice to play Yahtzee.

Place is cool. Kind of pricey. Food and drinks are kind of slow. Dude on the go karts takes it way too serious. Anytime the kids tap a wall they get a punishment and he slows down their carts. As pricey as a kart ride runs, they should be able to touch whatever wall they want.

AmpUp has been a great supporter of our local community and been generous in its contribution to the community. Even during a pandemic they are open and working to keep the environment safe for its customers. Kids have a great time as always and sometime you just need to get out of the house for a bit to let some energy out.

Great time. Overpriced but still fun. I orginally had two lanes reserved for my group and then about 5minutes in the told us all 5 of us had to share a lane. Kind of think the guy that was instructing us had a little bit to drink because he wasnt making sense. He said it was policy that all 5 of us had to share. I told him I was reserved in 3 and other half was to be next to us in 4. So we all shared 1 lane while both of the lanes on either side remained empty. 5 of us at $22 is $110 in one lane aiming at wood with one ax that will last a year or two. I think they were hoping other people came so they make more off the other lanes. The problem was I reserved both lanes so if more people came in the slot was reserved until my time was up. I really hope management is not that cheap and money hungry. To squeeze 110 dollars out of a lane for every one to get 10 throws a piece.Again, I had fun after I got over the feeling of being ripped off, that was the only bump in the night.

Expensive. Backboards pretty chewed up for the axes to stick instead bounce off. Also could get new axes handle grips broken, unsafe. Hire some adults to assist, personnel seemed unsure of themselves made me feel uneasy. Pizza pretty good and place was inviting and clean.

A very unique experience for kids and adults! The overhead obstacle course is not like anything else in town. This is above and beyond the attraction my kids spend the most time on. The VR is really cool and fun to watch as a spectator. They also serve food, drinks and adult beverages. I only gave 4 stars because it can get a bit pricey. All in all, a great place!

Superb customer service! AMP UP really went above and beyond for us. Our Youth Group reserved the entire facility after hours. Everyone had an absolute blast. Alex, Max, Jada and the entire staff were amazing. I cannot thank you again for accommodating us, going above and beyond for our needs and especially for being patient with us. One thing that I was absolutely blown away by is the work culture. Everyone is genuinely friendly and kind. Positive energy is all I get when I am there! Thank you :)

A great time for teenage boy’s birthday party. Alex the manager was very helpful in making sure we had a great experience. We came for the laser tag, and ended up throwing axes and doing the ropes course too! Plus they have an outdoor patio place to eat, hangout and play free games— bocce, giant jenga and cornhole— lots of fun between events!

Best team building event yet! - Difficult to Please Co-workers.What an amazing experience! Our event guides were incredible and made sure we were having a wonderful time. The food was much better than expected. The pizza and pasta buffet really gave us energy for all that awaited us. Go - Karts were an all around favorite but laser tag was also an unexpected hit. Cant wait to go back!

Went here with a group from work and had a great time. We were worried it might be aimed towards kids but it really is good for everyone. Go karts, laser tag, ropes, and axe throwing. All were a blast and drinking through all of it made it even better.

Review №42

Place was fun...no doubt. Only problem is we paid for 2 hours of unlimited play time and it turned off 8 minutes early. Went to the counter and spoke with the girl at the counter about the issue. She said, yeah, it probably turned off early. She didnt care and it seemed like it happens often (girl in pic). Then she went back to her computer and playing her hair. So we really didnt get our 2 hr monies worth. Place was ran by teenagers that wanted to do the less the better kind of mentality.

Amp up Action Park has generously donated gift packages to our silent action fund raiser in support of our high school baseball team for several years. I would recommend that you support Amp Up Action Park for the good work they do giving back to the communities that support them.

Really fun place to spend an evening . However it is only partially wheelchair accessible. What I mean is that the video games and possibly the go karts are wheelchair accessible but not high ropes course.

Review №45

Awesome venue!! We hosted our 2nd event at Amp Up. The staff made it super easy and the food exceeded our expectation. The team LOVED all the new attractions (axe throwing, Virtual Reality, Bocce Ball and the Hamster Balls). Another popular feature was the Final Kart race at the end where they selected the fastest times throughout the night and the laser tag battles between our different teams. Thanks again, Amp Up. We will be back soon.

Amp Up Action Park in St. Louis is super fun! When you walk in the Go Kart tracks jumps right out at you. The Go-Karts are fast. I had never done pro-style European Go-Karts before. Very little noise and a smooth, pleasant ride. I was lucky enough to get to race with a couple of the owners - they are great racers. They were faster than me. I did not have time to do the Axe Throwing but their new Axe Throwing area looked super sharp. I heard from my sister that Axe Throwing is surprisingly fun! A new sport that is gaining a lot of popularity across the country. Im scared of heights but their Ropes Course looked cool too - not for me, but next time I visit Amp Up maybe I will conquer my fears and do it. Laser Tag, Arcade, Bocce Ball, Human Hamster Balls... this place has it all. Amp Up is a premium entertainment experience.

Review №49

We attended the park as a team outing. The facility was great. Very spacious. It was not especially busy for being a Friday night so we did not have to wait for anything. The high ropes course was challenging. Laser tag was great all of the way around. The prices were okay. The only thing that I would like to see improved is the selection of axes for axe throwing. Its a great outing for families and teams!

Review №56

This place was a total scam! Extremely Poor customer service. They are only interested in your money not the quality of service they provide. Not to mention the nasty family of gnats were very disturbing. After over charging us for things we never received! They didnt even have the decency to allow us to do attractions that we had already paid for.After spending $200.00 just to do laser tag and go karts I was very disappointed. After speaking with the manager Alex who was very cold hearted and nonchalant he continued to say, it was nothing he could do about giving us the partial refund I was asking for! He also claimed that the next person above him is the Owner who is out of town for a week but that the owner wouldnt provide a partial refund either. Beware of poor businesses and business owners TOTALLY scammed us!

Review №57

First visit, our group of adults had a lot of fun playing laser tag and throwing the axes. Laser tag was capture-the-flag style, which was new for us. Equipment was pretty new, and staff was helpful when someone had an issue. Axe throwing was a blast--they had small hatchets to throw, and the staff was good about swapping out dull ones at first request. Would go back for sure.

This place was so much fun! And the price point is awesome! We did so much for $35 dollars laser tag, high ropes, axe throwing etc! I highly recommend this place also the staff was great. It truly perfect for all ages. Why go to just an axe throwing place and pay $35 for just that when here u can pay about the same amount and do so much more.

Great place. Fast karts, games, laser tag, and a crazy rope course above the video games. Hidden gem tucked away from Manchester.Update (7.13.18): They have since added Giant Hampster Balls, Bocce Ball, Bags, and a multi-player HTC Vive VR gaming area! Even if you are not a go kart fan, there is plenty to keep you entertained.

Awesome place to hang out. Go see Rob and he will set you up. Recently visited for a bachelor party and it was a great environment to start the night. The karts are fun, lots of space in the building to spread out and fair prices. Only received 4/5 because the event planner was sub par in planning. She didn’t really do much. Fortunately Rob was there to take care of us. Would be back!

Terrific place for a birthday party or to grab a drink with friends while the kids are entertained. If you havent walked into this location, its amazing. The size is impressive with a full go cart track electrically powered (so no fumes), an arcade with a ropes course above, and more. My son loves the go carts. My daughter loves the ropes course.The owners went above and beyond to make sure we were happy. Really a great time and I highly recommend visiting.Check it out!!!

We had an event at the park as part of a team outing. We did axe throwing, go kart racing, and the virtual reality experience. We were greeted when we walked in, and assigned a guide/chaperone who stayed with us the entire time, assisted us with all of the activities and kept things moving. We had a wonderful experience and my team is saying they want to have another team outing here in the future.

I purchased two races for each for 2 people. My boyfriend and I went to redeem on a Saturday afternoon; there were maybe 20 people total there at the time. The first race went well, it was just the two of us and we had a great time afterwards to see who was fastest. Our second race, a group of 5 gentlemen was also in our time slot. I asked the employee running the race if we could move to the next race time. He informed us that there wasnt a next race time and that he would try and space us out as best he could. About two laps into the second race, of course, we all started catching up to each other. My boyfriend and I had to break multiple times so as to not hit the other drivers, which was frustrating as the whole point of the race is to get the fastest time. I would understand if the facility was packed and there was a line for the race track, however that wasnt the case; there was literally no one else racing after our second time.

Super fun place to go to either after a long day at work, or if your friends are coming back home from college! Lots of things to do here. Theres go-karts that go up to around 40 mph, a laser tag arena which has an upstairs, a high ropes course that features 20 obstacles, and they also have a VR station, Axe throwing, and human sized hamster balls! Besides what you can do there, my friends and I were also pleased with pricing. Would recommend to any teenager/young adult whos looking to have fun with their friends.

Review №81

I only played laser tag and the go kart race but the arcade looks uneventful upon entry. Laser tag had an upper level, which made it cool but overall there wasnt much to it. If you have weave, braids or any other additional hair on your head then you should see if the 3XL helmet will fit before buying a ticket for the race. It was slightly uncomfortable but it did fit over my extensions. The staff were fine. Not on Chick-fil-A level of service but nice. Take the kids. I saw a lot of younger children having fun with the virtual reality game.

Review №85

I booked a party for my 11 year old son last Sunday. There were 8 kids total. I spent just over $400.00. The kids had a blast but the staff was the least to be desired. They wont allow you in your party room until it is cake time. You do not have the room the entire time you are there. If I had to do it over, I would have got there with my 8 kids and bought them all a 2 hour bracelet. It would have been cheaper and I wouldnt have had to deal with the staff as much. There are tables there you can push together for you and your guests to watch. The staff is all kids and the event coordinator has no idea how to talk to people. I called a week in advance to add more events to my package (meaning more money for them) and I was told all the issues it would cause for them. I never heard of such a thing. After the kids ate pizza, I was told any pizza left over would be donated to their staff. Needless to say, I made sure it was all gone. The kids did have fun and my son enjoyed his birthday party but from a parents stand point, the employees need to learn how to be more professional.

So much to do packed in a space that doesnt seem huge, but is definitely large enough for an indoor go-kart track. I thoroughly enjoyed the VR experience and would go back for that alone. The suspended obstacle course looked challenging enough without being discouraging. Plenty of fun for big kids at heart.

My son had his birthday party here and the packages are very reasonable. They allowed us to add on an additional activity for the kids. My son and his friends loved everything including our awesome party host Xander who was very excellent with a group of young boys. He went out of his way to make sure us and other parents had everything we wanted as well.

For the ASTRONOMICAL price, we had an ok time. No package that allows unlimited Go Karts, so you pay per 5minute race. Also, I was upsold a Gold package but couldnt use it half the 2hour period because of a party no one told us about.

Waited in line for 45 minutes to pay and when we got to the front they made us go to another part of the building to sign waivers. We were the 3rd in line and there were only 2 staff members working register on a Saturday, the busiest day. Unbelievably upsetting. No pay online options. Did not want to wait in line again. No direction or organisation there. Left immediately.
