The Main Event StoryThe first Main Event center opened in Lewisville, Texas, in 1998 because the
founders believed that families deserved a better place than the league-driven,
dusty bowling centers of the past. They developed an idea that became the first
of its kind - a haven for families to share in a variety of activities like laser tag,
gravity ropes, arcade games, billiards, and more, all under one (very big) roof.
Walking into Main Event is like entering a new world of lights, music,
entertainment, and laughter. Every guest is greeted by the genuine, glowing
faces of Main Event team members as they see splashes of color and new
opportunities to play.
Each center offers chef-inspired dining for sit-down meals, full-service catering
with private rooms, a high-energy bar with the latest audio-visual technology,
space for birthday parties for kids and adults, and party rooms for corporate,
school, and league events.
Whether for timeless games or new group gaming innovations, a trip to Main
Event is a chance for the whole family to reconnect, celebrate, compete, eat,
and play, together. When you’re with us, each and every moment together
is the Main Event.
