From the reviews
It was my 1st time at Amp Up. I actually never heard about it around St Louis. It's definitely a unrecognized fun park that's should get more publicity. At the age of 52 years old. I had an amazing time. I am a kid at heart and really enjoy adrenaline activities.
Purchased two-hour golf passes for a group of youth from my church. They had a great time. The space is suited for kids and adults of all ages. Dynamic arcade games, go karting, axe throwing, laser tag, and a rope line that hangs over the arcade arena. I was surprised to see that it’s just one big open facility.
We had an absolute blast. The staff was super helpful and friendly. The packages are a bit pricey but it's more than worth the adventure. Go kart racing, obstacle course in the sky, VR, ax throwing and multi-level laser tag arena. Ax throwing is for 14+ and they did need to do a little work on the VR headsets.
Amp Up is a nice place for indoor fun. The go-karts are definitely a highlight, though the ride time is pretty short at just 10 minutes, which feels a bit expensive for what you get.
