A more family-friendly version of Dave & Busterβs is making its way to Tucson.Β
Main Event is a family entertainment center located at 4700 S. Landing Way, near Irvington Road right off Interstate 19 on Tucsonβs south side. The chain will officially open on Wednesday, March 1, but their grand opening will be held Friday, March 3, when the first 200 people in line will win free laser tag for a year. There are also a few other deals running throughout the weekend to celebrate, including:
- If you bowl a strike on a select lane through Friday, March 10, $10 will be donated to a foundation that benefits Tucson Unified School District.
- If your family finishes the Big Fun Super Sundae in five minutes on Sunday, March 5, itβs on the house. For reference, the sundae is a big olβ mix of gelato, brownies, doughnut holes, cookies and lots of toppings.
- Monday, March 6 is all-you-can-play games for $12.99 per person after 4 p.m.
- On Tuesday, March 7, kids eat free with a purchase of an entree of $11.99 or more all day.
The bowling alleys feature video boards above the pins and lighting effects on the lanes at Main Event in Tucson.
βWe could not be more excited to further connect with the Arizona community by bringing the fourth Main Event center to the state,β Chris Morris, president and CEO of Main Event Entertainment, said in a press release.
