The kids are back in school which only means one thing…it’s time to let your hair down and your inner child out at Epic Fun’s first-ever adults-only night!
Epic After Dark is coming and you don’t want to miss out. The night is complete with access to the entire Epic Fun facility including bumper cars, arcade games, axe throwing, mini bowling, laser tag, and so much more. Included in the numerous arcade games are old school and new school games, from ski ball to basketball and everything in between.
