And at Elev8, you can actually win! Be sure to leave some time to redeem your points at the prize store. It’s the size of a real store!

Elev8 Fun’s restaurant, PL8 Bar & Grill, features a full-service kitchen with delicious and surprising options. And the venue also features two full-service bars. In fact, we all really enjoyed our lunch at Elev8 Sanford. The kids meals were great. And the pretzel and cheese curds were a huge hit!

Are there deals?

There are specials all week, like half price arcade games and BOGO go kart races. And they have a brand new location in Tampa! They always have something new happening. Be sure to check out their social media to find the latest information. And there’s something for holidays, back to school, and more.

Weekday pricing is always more affordable than weekend pricing. Most days, they open at noon. But be sure to check their website or call for up to date information!

They have bundle pricing so that you can enjoy more than one activity during your visit. And trust me, you’ll want to! On the day of our visit, the arcade games were half price. So our credits went double as far! We won all kinds of claw games and had such a great time picking out prizes in their huge prize store! So be sure to allow time for that at the end of your visit. You know it takes everyone a while to choose their prize after all that fun!
