Hendersonville Strike & Spare Family Fun Center is one of the larger multi-attraction entertainment destinations in the Nashville area, packing bowling, laser tag, bumper cars, roller skating, and a full arcade floor under a single roof. The venue operates out of Hendersonville, a northern suburb of Nashville, and positions itself as a one-stop option for families who want a mix of activities without bouncing between locations.
While the venue is categorized as a video arcade on directory listings, in practice it functions as a full family entertainment center. Visitors typically come for a wristband deal that unlocks several activities in a single visit, with the arcade serving as one component of a much broader day out. The combination has made it a popular choice for birthday parties, group outings, and weekend family trips looking for a multi-hour visit in a single building.
Nashville’s broader arcade scene has grown steadily in recent years, and Hendersonville Strike & Spare sits alongside dedicated barcades, pinball spots, and resort arcades across the metro. For travelers who want a fuller mix of activities in one building, the family fun center model offers a different kind of experience than a standalone arcade. You can browse more options through the arcade finder or open the interactive arcade map to see what else sits nearby.

What Players Say
Hendersonville Strike & Spare earns strong marks for activity variety. The single most-cited positive is the range of things to do under one roof: one Google reviewer summed it up as “bowling, laser tag, bumper cars, roller skating and more!” The same line of praise shows up across dozens of reviews, with families and kids calling out the breadth of options as the reason the venue works for a full afternoon rather than just a quick stop.
Wristband pricing is a recurring topic, and the value lands in mixed territory. One reviewer noted that “a wristband for 13.50 gets you unlimited roller skating, bungee jumping, laser tag,” a deal that many guests describe as a major draw. However, several caveats apply: attractions that are closed or unstaffed can shrink the real value of the wristband, which leads directly into the next major theme in the feedback.
Staffing and attraction availability are the most consistent complaints, with reviewers reporting that “half of the attractions were not staffed” during their visits. Crowds compound the problem on weekends, which are described as overwhelming, with one guest writing that the “Place is a madhouse on the weekends” and that bowling lanes can mean long waits. Machine and equipment condition gets mixed reviews, with some guests finding maintenance lacking (“several were out of order”) while others are satisfied. Several patrons also note that the facility “could definitely use an overhaul,” suggesting that upkeep has not quite kept pace with the activity mix.
On the positive side, the on-site food draws consistent praise. “the food was excellent…Fries were perfect. Pizza was fresh” is a representative comment, and the kitchen makes it easy to turn a visit into a full afternoon without leaving the building. The venue is widely recommended for birthday parties and group bookings, where the activity variety and bundled pricing make logistics simple; guests describe the party experience as “Easy, affordable and fun!” Service quality itself splits: many guests find the staff friendly, though consistency varies with how busy the floor is. Parking is a quiet plus, with the venue described as a “Very large place with plenty of parking.”
The practical takeaway from the feedback: weekday visits consistently get the best marks. Crowds thin out, staff can keep up, and the wristband deal tends to deliver on its promise of access to multiple attractions. Weekend visits are doable but require patience, and it is worth calling ahead to confirm which attractions are open before purchasing a wristband.
Games & Machines
The venue is categorized as a video arcade and sits inside a much larger family entertainment center that includes bowling lanes, a laser tag arena, bumper cars, a roller skating rink, and a bungee attraction. Within the arcade component, guests will find a typical mix of redemption and video games that rounds out the day rather than serving as the headline draw. As a multi-activity destination rather than a dedicated arcade, it suits visitors who want variety over depth in any single category of game. Players chasing a more arcade-focused experience in the same city should compare it against Game Terminal.
Visiting
Hendersonville Strike & Spare is located in Hendersonville, Tennessee, just north of Nashville proper. Hours run 9 AM to 11 PM Monday through Thursday, with extended evening hours on Friday (10 AM to 12 AM) and Saturday (9 AM to 12 AM), and a slightly later opening on Sunday (11 AM to 11 PM). The phone line is +1 615-824-5685, and the venue’s own page is at strikeandspare.com/hendersonville for the most current wristband pricing and party package details.
Food and drink are available on site, and reviewers consistently single out the pizza and fries as standouts, which makes it easy to turn a visit into a full afternoon without leaving the building. Birthday parties and group events are a strong fit. The bundled structure simplifies planning, and reviewers repeatedly call out the ease and affordability of hosting a party here. If you are weighing this against a dedicated barcade, dedicated pinball room, or resort arcade, the comparison points are different, and the family fun center model is built for groups with mixed ages rather than adult arcade enthusiasts.
