A Unique Alternative to Traditional Event Venues

Many event spaces in Grand Rapids focus on formal gatherings. While that works for some occasions, others call for something more interactive and energetic.

Guests can move freely between activities, socialize naturally, and enjoy a relaxed atmosphere.

Entertainment Built Into Your Rental

One of the biggest advantages of renting our venue is that entertainment is already included.

Glow in the Dark Mini Golf

Our 18-hole immersive glow mini golf course creates a visually stunning experience. The blacklight artwork and interactive obstacles make it more than just a game — it’s an environment.

Guests can play at their own pace while others explore additional attractions.

Duckpin Bowling (Aurora Bowl)

Our duckpin-style bowling lanes offer approachable, fast-paced fun for all ages. With shorter lanes and smaller balls, Aurora Bowl makes it easy for everyone to participate.

No shoe rentals required, which simplifies event logistics.

Arcade Games

From Dance Dance Revolution (DDR) to classic arcade machines, guests can compete, challenge friends, and add variety to the event schedule.

The combination of attractions keeps energy levels high and prevents downtime.
