We will definitely be going back. This was awesome! There is nothing like smashing glass! The bottles with the sand are excellent for slow motion video too. You also can write on the chalk boards and they give you markers to write on the plates etc...whatever you want...

The location isnt the best, and the place isnt fancy.. ... But if you just want/need to break stuff, you should give it a go. I enjoyed it more than I thought I would. My husband and I went for a date, and it was a different experience.

First time at Simply Smashing and it was tonnes of fun! My friends and I had lots of fun beating up computer keyboards and beer bottles. Would definitely recommend as a small group activity or a solo experience. Good workout too!

Great place to honestly break something, great to come in long sleeve and long pants with sneakers so you dont have to wear their protective gear. You will wear a face shield and gloves.We did a team building and it was a unique experience none of us had done. Definitely keeping it in my mind for a future event to do

Awesome place to visit! If you’ve never experienced releasing bad thoughts/emotions, through destroying things, you most definitely should try Simply Smashing! This was my first time doing an activity like this but it was well worth the money. I got a lot of things off my chest and the sense of relaxation and inner peace I felt after going here was fantastic. The owner was super friendly and accommodating and made sure everyone was safe and good to go. He seems like he genuinely wants to help people get bad feelings out and if it’s not that then just have a good time overall. Highly recommend, will be back!

It was a lot of fun! We were supposed to get the video of our smashing experience. But they forgot to record it.Bummer since it was our first time doing this. I wanted to watch it & to share it on Facebook. For this reason Im giving it 3 stars. I would have given it a 5 otherwise. They did take off the 2 extra bottles we got. And gave us a coupon to get a free video next time. They did feel bad about it!

Very professional and courteous staff. We expected to wait around but they got us in quick and we got to smashing. If you email them a photo before you go, they will frame it for you! Best part of our 2020 was this!!! We will be back and were bringing friends as soon as social distancing is lifted!

10 Stars! This place is a lot of fun, and does a great job reducing stress. The fact that this Rage Room has gotten so much positive media coverage since it has opened has been a testament of the quality of experience that customers get. In addition, Steve Wilk and his staff deliver amazing customer service. Try it out, and you will have a blast!

Had a great time with a group of friends last year! Very cool place. Totally fun, whether you are stressed or not. My out-of-state visitors had the best time ever.

Review №16

55 bucks for like 16 plates, beer bottles, and two electrics (mine were keyboards) to break. Face mask (COVID) and full wrap sunglasses werent enough facial protection apparently... so they give you a visor to wear, which normally wouldnt bother me.... but theyre so incredibly damaged you cant see through them. Looks like someone took 60 grit sand paper to them for several minutes. So yer pretty much swinging blindly at breakable items making it even more unsafe ten fold than what it should be. Be careful if you go there!Wouldnt recommend it to anyone but I wouldnt tell anyone to not go there.

Over priced and hot as hell in the rooms. Very trendy and I honestly feel MORE STRESSED after doing this. NOT WORTH THE MONEY. WONT BE BACK.

What a blast! You can bring your own things from home in addition to the laundry basket full of items provided. Hate your boss, your neighbor, your relationship?? Write their name on something with the permanent markers provided and smash it! Your entire session is recorded and for a small additional charge, they will email you the video. Fun, fun, fun! We will be returning.

Went with my best friend and we had a blast. A little over $70 for the two of us to smash plates, vases, electronics, and a couple sand bomb bottles. Highly recommend for any small group events! With my girlfriends recent breakup and my fathers passing we both really needed to be violent for a minute and this was the perfect place to do it.

Review №23

Very poor service. My family was so excited to go here. We dont have a lot of money due to losing our business because of covid but invested for a family adventure. The staff was very rude trying to upsell their trump smashing upgrade. We didnt have the extra money to upgrade and if we did we wouldnt smash our president.

Review №25

This was a super fun experience, the staff really need some help working on professionalism, also I know its a rage room but the waiting area could use some TCL. Other than that I think that its something we would go back and do it again!Im not sure how to reply to what you said on the app so Im editing it here.when we arrived the waiting room was busy the young man that was working there that was new was polite and letting us know that we were going to have to wait and there were quite a few people ahead of us but the employee that was training him gave him a huge long speech in front of everyone about how things needed to be and in doing that ignoring us and embarrassing the trainee.

Review №26

What a unique experience! We really enjoyed ourselves smashing a printer and a bunch of glassware. There is a wall you can write all the rage inducing things you want to let go of. I especially liked breaking the glass plates onto the concrete floor. They provide coveralls which is great because I was concerned about glass getting in my shoe and they went past my shoe and it was perfectly fine. Had some technical difficulties connecting to the WiFi speaker, but otherwise a fantastic time! Only up to 4 in a room. Great for girls night!

Bi
Review №27

Wish the room was bigger. All in all it was a good time. They have coveralls but I would suggest to wear jeans and if you can a long sleeve shirt. The covers are a bit warm the room was a bit small for the 4 of us but we made it work. I would not recommend more than 4 people in a room at a time. I walked in with kind of a bad mood and left like a new man. Make a playlist and link your phone to really get the rage out!

Review №28

My friend and I had an amazing time here. They have a vast selection of things to break and weapons to break things with. It’s an amazing way to relieve stress. The owner is very courteous and even suggested a few ways to do damage on some of the bigger items. This experience will definitely be unforgettable.

Kinda basic, which is fine. I wasn’t expecting thrills to go destroy stuff. But the price, even from Groupon, I expected a little more fun.We couldn’t get the speaker to work for a while and when we did it was not loud enough to get your blood pumpin. The marker provided was dead so we didn’t get to sign the wall. And it took us like 10 min to go through all of our breakables and we were really taking our time. Overall it was a fun experience, something new to do.

On July 13th I lost my son to what is becoming an epidemic. He had been smoking something that really hurt him and he could no longer deal. I have not been handling his death well and feel as if I had no way to release the pain and frustration I have bottled up inside me. Simply Smashing is the only thing that has helped. I know I have a long way to go with regard to my anger but the release was a positive way to pull back from the ledge which I have been edging nearer each day. Thank you Simply Smashing and may God help those who are experiencing loss and feel as broken as I do.

Fun place to let off some steam. Nothing fancy to the place, but who wants fancy when youre there to break stuff?We brought a group of 20 and rented out the whole place. They were accommodating and took great care of our group.

Review №48

To start, the employees were drinking beer. My group of 4, did not feel safe! The protective suit was a joke, super thin, dirty/stained, and torn. One of them, the zipper was ripped and the lady literally just stapled it. Room was small and not safe enough for about 2+ ppl. Been to other rage rooms that had proper protection, room size and made me feel actually safe during the experience.

This place is amazing!! Im so glad i found out about it, wish I had sooner. Super fun and can really channel your anger, they have markers so you can write on the items to break the thing thats stressing you out, very therapeutic lol. The owner is so nice and helpful, as well as the rest of the staff. Love it! Thank you guys!

I have been looking into this for months on new form of therapy. When I contacted Steve last week Id ask him about this particular place. My roommate and I decided to come in and the session was amazing. Unfortunately my roommate stepped on a wine glass and it pierced through her shoe. Not only did the staff probably help us but they also compensated us for my roommates injury. And let me tell you we came back this week and we are now Gold members we are the first two people to get the membership. If honestly you have a lot of anger built up this is something for you to do. Is not only fun. But you release so much stress and anger that when you were honestly done the relaxing feeling you have is the most amazing feeling in the world. I already know Im going to sleep good tonight. Thank you so much you for introducing me to this place I am so excited to be the very first member along with my roommate

Smashing indeed! Such a brilliant idea, loved this place from the 1st moment / free test smash, and they havent disappointed ever since. Aighley is just awesome, was super patient, helpful, and informative when we were signing up, and provided an exceptional experience when it was time to come back in and smash! She went above and beyond, and we left post-smash with stree-free smiles!

Was visiting the area back in March and had a few hours to kill before our flight home so we decided to check this place out. Turns out its really fun to break and smash stuff! Prices of smashable things are very reasonable and the goods are definitely things you would love smashing! (keyboards and cisco style phone to name a couple) I highly recommend it for anyone wanting to relieve some stress and would imagine it would be great for teams too. Thank you!

10/10 would give more stars if I could. This place is amazing. I loved it. They are so friendly and they have so much cool stuff there too smash. I recommend the TV lol but I went with a friend and we were there for a good hour shashing everything from cups to bowls to plates to bottles to phones and finally the TVIt felt so good and I plan on going back for a membership. Highly recommend.Its for sure a great stress reliever.

Just walked in a few minutes ago and I highly recommend going if you need a good vent or just fun destruction. Rider who was the person who greeted me there was very kind, gave me a quick talk of the rules and then I got to enjoy myself destroying and just smashing stuff while listening to my favorite music. Overall highly satisfied, happy and feeling better, thank you Rider and Simply Smashing

Review №58

Went to the rage room last week, details of my experience below.The good: Cool concept, dont have to clean up after yourself, overall fun time! Staff was friendly.The bad: a lot of the ads show people smashing TVs and other bigger electronics however you have to pay extra for these, typically between $25 and $50 which can get expensive fast. The mix we were given was about 16 glass/ceramic items and 2 electronic pieces. The glass pieces are fun to smash but they are mainly one hit and done. The electronics can take numerous hits which is much more fun, but unfortunate you only get 2.The REALLY bad: the white suit you have to wear is pretty stinky from other people sweating in them. Even worse was the face mask. The foam on the inside smelled terrible from many peoples forehead sweat and body odor. Really disgusting. Note to owners, please go smell the suits and face masks to see what you are asking your customers to wear. Perhaps wash the white suits daily and find another system for the nasty sweaty face mask!

Nice staff! This place was so awesome, I found a group on and took my nephew there for his 17th birthday. They connect your phone via bluetooth so you can play your own tunes while you rage. For 50 we got twenty minutes. Lots of things to choose from to destroy stuff with. This is definitely a great place to rage! Well be back!

Went for some smashing stress relief and let me tell you. It did NOT disappoint. It was an amazing experience. Laid back atmosphere and friendly staff. I loved it. Super shout out to Ailie was simply amazing. With people like her in the world, my hope is restored. If I lost it... I’ll just go smash some more! Thank you, Simply Smash. Thank you, Ailie!!

Friendly staff, relaxed environment, affordable pricing. Each room (max 4 people) comes with a basquet of breakables, mostly glass things, and you can add more for a fee. We got a printer for $35. They give you tools (baseball bat, sledgehammer, golf club, crow bar), and protection equipment, and the room has a table surface, a chain on the ceiling for hanging things, and rage written on the walls by previous visitors (and you can write in there too). You can destroy everything however you please, with some basic house rules of course. They provide a small speaker that can be hooked to your phone for music. Its so invigorating!!! Will come back with other groups. They print and frame pictures if you want to smash someones face! Thats like 5 bucks extra, I think.

This experience was definitely fun and would highly recommend! Never figured so much raging would have me so calm and happy afterwards.Did I mention it was a great workout as well!.. Only suggestion would be to make sure speakers for customer use are fully charged with good sound quality. Wish I would have gotten a tv for one of my electronics of choice but the neon sign & keyboard worked exceptionally well too. The owner was very friendly & welcoming.He provided great customer service and was very detailed in explaining the rules/process with it being my first time.

I had never been to a Rage room before, but so much tension and frustration has been building up so my friend and I decided to try it. They explained the rules, provided saftey equipment and tools along with breakables. You can also buy more or even bring your own. It was so cathartic to yell, throw things, smash things to pieces and write on the walls. I highly recommend this as a way of releasing any pent up frustration or anger. It was fantastic and quite a good workout.

Showed up at 7 really excited to try this, my friends and I have been talking about it and wanted to get together on a night that works for us. Seeing it say walk-ins on the website we felt it wasnt necessary to call ahead. We showed up and were very disappointed to find out it was closed early. We traveled to meet up for this and were let down :/

My friend and I came in to let out some general rage and it was the best experience we have ever had!

Thank you both so much!!!

Have a rough break up? Break some stuff! Mad at your family? Break some stuff! Bad day at work? Break some stuff! This is such a safe and healthy way to vent out your frustrations and emotions! The owner is super nice and welcoming. He has a great heart and passion for helping others when they just want to scream and forget about lifes problems! I would reccomend this place in a heartbeat to anyone needing to rage!
