Not your ordinary school event.
Bring your students to our 15,000 sq ft arena, or we roll up to your school fully staffed. 20+ activities, Game Day Coordinators, and structured rotations so every student gets a turn. Field trips, field days, pep rallies, good-grade incentives & staff-vs-student showdowns — for grades 1–12 (teachers too).
Chicago Public Schools vendor #43597
We're an approved CPS vendor, so Chicago Public Schools can book us directly through the district — purchase orders, invoicing, W-9 and a Certificate of Insurance all handled. Not a CPS school? No problem: we work with public, private, charter and parochial schools and park districts all over Chicagoland the same easy way.
Field trip to us — or we come to your school
However your school runs it, we make it easy and unforgettable: a private buyout at our arena, or our crew rolling up to your gym, field or parking lot and running the whole thing.
Bring your students here
A private 15,000 sq ft buyout — all activities, Game Day Coordinators, music & MC. That's where the $30/person weekday school rate lives. Indoor, climate-controlled, rain or shine.
Mobile at your school
We pack up bubble soccer, laser tag, archery, nerf, gel blasters, foam pits & more and run it on your field, gym or lot — fully staffed. Perfect for field days, pep rallies & spirit weeks. See mobile pricing →
Better than an arcade or trampoline park
The usual field-trip spots mean long lines, one repetitive activity, and teachers stuck refereeing. We flip all three — every student plays, all day.
Every student actually plays
Structured rotations and shortened rounds mean even hundreds of kids all get turns — nobody stuck waiting in a line.
Long lines, kids waiting their turn, half the group standing around.
20+ activities, not one
Bubble soccer, laser tag, archery, gel blasters, mechanical bull, foam, obstacle course & more — switch all day.
The same trampolines or token games the kids have done a dozen times.
Our staff run it — you relax
High-energy Game Day Coordinators run every station, manage rotations and safety. Teachers get to enjoy it too.
You and your chaperones supervise the chaos all by yourselves.
Built for every kind of school day
Mobile field trips
The field trip kids actually beg to repeat — at your school or ours, structured and supervised.
Field days & pep rallies
Turn field day or a pep rally into a full-on event the whole school remembers.
Good-grade incentives
Reward attendance, behavior or grades with a day everyone earns and looks forward to.
Staff vs. students days
Nothing bonds a building like teachers and students battling it out in bubble soccer.
Holiday parties & fundraisers
Seasonal celebrations and fundraisers that draw a crowd and keep them engaged.
Sports-team bonding
Pre-season chemistry or end-of-season celebrations for any team or club.
The $30/person facility buy-out
Bring your students to our arena for a private, staffed, structured-rotation field trip. Same great school rate as our park-district program.

Everyone still gets a turn
For big groups we tune the day so no one stands around — shorter rounds and multiple activities running at once keep every student moving.
Shortened rotations
We flex round lengths — 7, 5, 3, even 2-minute rounds — so large groups cycle through fast.
Book multiple activities
Run several stations at once so more kids play simultaneously. Save 10% when you book multiple activities.
Indoor & outdoor
Most games play either way. If it rains, activities like laser tag move indoors — the day goes on.
Grades 1–12 & staff
We scale games and gear by age — and teachers love getting in on it too.
Coordinators run it
Our high-energy Game Day Coordinators run the games; we just ask staff to help keep the excitement in check.

School season fills fast — we book up months in advance. Lock your date as soon as you have it.
