- ChicagoistJanuary 27, 2015What do you get when you combine lacrosse, basketball and bumper cars? The high-stakes, low-skill world of Whirlyball. Now is the time to grab some friends and reserve court time here. Read more
Alysha BalogApril 15, 2015I had never been to Whirly Ball and it's a good time. Plus the space is really nice and the food is surprisingly good. Excellent beer list as well, especially for the venue.
Venugopal VenkatramanAugust 3, 2018WhirlyBall was fun, though getting the hang of driving was a bit unnecessary. Laser tag was great, and a lot of us were covered in sweat. The room could be a little less hot. It was fun nevertheless.

- ChicagoistMay 7, 2015The bumper cars-lacrosse-basketball hybrid is a bizarre team sport that’s best enjoyed after warming up with a few drinks at the bar (conveniently located under the same roof).
Gigi CoscioniJanuary 2, 2017This area is so cool looking and has #whirlyball but if that's not what you wanna do they also have #bowling and #laser-tag
Katrina NJuly 24, 2016New location is a big step up from the older location on Fullerton! Love it! 😃
Michelle RFebruary 19, 2017Food will make you feel awful. But the activities are great! Bowling league on Sundays.
Mark BrouchAugust 7, 2014Great activity to do with a group of friends during those long winter months.
rEvolutionOctober 12, 2011We had our holiday party here last year. Let's just say be careful if you go with a competitive group. Some of us are still not speaking to each other.

Adam HickeyNovember 5, 2011Call ahead to reserve a court. It's sure to not disappoint your group of friends. A nice alternative activity for a Friday night.
Raquel HenryMarch 22, 2011Mini version of Dave & Busters but with cheap drinks! Whirlyball was amazing.
michael bMarch 10, 2016Poor customer service we spent over $1,000 on catering, private bowling upstairs, and whirlyball - and they were just rude and wouldn't give us a break for an extra hour of bowling.
- Justin WellsJune 30, 2014The place is horrid we had rude individuals on our court and car broke down and had to restart without any sorry or anything
