Laser tag, bowling, and an arcade are the main attractions at Main Event. A popular site for birthday parties and family outings, this big entertainment venue comes close to crossing the line between children’s and adult entertainment. During the day, the place is innocent enough. But in the evenings, alcohol is served and the pool tables become crowded. (Main Event is a smoke-free environment, though.)
