Big Play Entertainment Center ATL

Big Play Entertainment Center in Dunwoody is a family fun complex that checks multiple boxes on a single outing — bowling, laser tag, arcade games, and food all under one roof. Located on Mt. Vernon Road, it's well-positioned for families in Dunwoody, Sandy Springs, and North Atlanta.

The bowling lanes are a solid centerpiece, with standard-length lanes and the option to add bumpers for younger kids. Laser tag runs in timed group sessions throughout the day — the multi-level arena with cover and obstacles makes it genuinely exciting rather than just a flat shoot-fest. The arcade rounds things out with a solid mix of ticket redemption games (kids love accumulating tickets toward prizes) and skill-based games.

For a full family entertainment center, Big Play's layout allows kids to rotate between activities naturally. There's no obligation to stick with one thing, which is a feature when you have kids with different interests in the group.

Food is available on-site, making it possible to extend the visit without leaving the building. The menu is typical family entertainment center fare — pizza, burgers, snacks.

Weekday afternoons are the optimal time to visit — lanes are available with minimal wait and the arcade isn't fighting weekend crowds. Friday and Saturday evenings do attract a progressively older, non-family crowd as the night progresses, so plan to arrive and depart during the family-oriented hours of 11AM-8PM for the best experience with kids.
