Gama Ride

really cool place for adults and littles alike! Took my two toddlers in on a Monday afternoon. I bought a $20 game card and played for about 45 minutes. The games are all brand new and well kept. I saw on-site staff cleaning games in-between uses. The place is larger than I expected! Recommend for a fun night out with the family. they even have bumber cars!

Was a little hard to figure out where to go in to access the arcade. I would have loved better signage however I believe that is a bridgepoint issue not a them issue. Super impressed with how clean everything is. My kids raved that it is much better than Dave and busters which is a huge accolade. The acoustic is not bad meaning that it doesn't echo as bad as David busters for people who have sensory issues this is very important. I cannot stand to go to that place, however I will definitely be back here. I may still wear my loops but at least it will not be somewhere that I immediately feel the need to leave. They were running a promotion that if you put $50 on a card you get $60 to spend. Works well for what we needed and we ended up refilling cards (2 @50 each) which was great. I got to see videos from an interview Impression Promotions, Jessica R did which convinced me to come check it out. She raved about your family and how much work it took y'all to get here and I cheer you on!She sits on the board of directors for the Foster City Chamber of Commerce which is the whole reason I came. I hope they join the Foster City Chamber of Commerce as well. I would love to have a fun mixer or event here. The food was fresh and fast. The bartender could have been a little better in terms of approachability but was not terrible enough that I didn't want to order, just kind of stand offish at first. Ordered 3 orders of chicken tenders, the sliders which were actually really good, Fish and chips and drinks. I didn't get photos as all of it got inhaled and the fries are actually extremely delicious which is hard to find anymore. It's not clear if the sodas are refillable however after asking the bartender it appears they are for the first refill only which is perfect for our needs. He appeared to warm up a lot after we had been here for a bit. They had just opened which may be why he seemed off at first.It would be nice when you first come in and if you've never been here before that there was some kind of map detailing where things were. The guy at the front did explain there was bowling and stuff upstairs but it did not say if we needed to purchase that separately or anything we just had to figure that out on our own. I could have asked but I did not think to.Overall super thrilled with the experience, will very much be back in the future and look forward to making this a regular fun stop!

We came in after a visit to Lazy Dog to check out the gaming offerings. While not as large as we were expecting, the variety of games was enough to keep us entertained and willing to come in from time to time. They have arcade games, bumper cars and bowling for kids, and simulators. We didn't stay long, maybe 30 mins, and a couple of our party weren't the gaming type, but cost wise it didn't seem too bad for the experience. Pros: Great to have a gaming spot like this in the peninsula, good variety of game offeringsCons: N/A

I think this place is where the ol' arcade used to be at the now-defunct Fashion Island Mall. I spent way too much time in my youth there playing Gauntlet, Contra, and Star Wars: Return of the Jedi. Fun times!

GAMA Ride is a fantastic, family-friendly entertainment zone, perfect for birthdays, parties, or just a fun day out. They have arcades line the entrance, leading to the main area where oversized round bumper cars and roller coaster simulations await. They also have a modified miniature bowling, darts, and a pool table, ensuring there's something for everyone. And when it's time to refuel, there is pizza, finger food, and bar to select from. Hold on to your GAMA card to exchange tickets for prizes.

I booked my son's birthday party for both of their party rooms. 1.5 hours each.I really wanted to give 5 stars because the owner was incredibly friendly along with the staff. The venue was huge with it's own bar and kitchen. Most importantly, my guests were very complimentary of the variety of games and premium rides. The venue has rules about no outside food. This makes sense since they want to highlight their kitchen. I don't recommend if you're like me and would love to bring in specific food you usually enjoy at family parties (lumpa, pancit, and etc). You can bring your own non-alcoholic drinks though. We only had their pizza and our own desserts.The bigger room can probably accommodate 40 people comfortably and the smaller room about 20 people. I booked our go-to decorations experts (outside vendor) to highlight our child's theme party. The vendor was only allowed 15 minutes to set up prior to the event due to small amount of time between parties. I recommend not hiring a decorations company to do this, because the venue is really strict with cleaning up and removing decorations 30 minutes before the end of your booking. For instance, we booked from 1-2:30PM. We were told to start removing decorations by 2PM and immediately had to be out by 2:30PM because of another party coming in at 3PM. Basically, we had about 1 hour (1-2PM) to enjoy and relax in the rooms. With the short amount of time between parties, it makes sense. Lesson learned when booking parties here.Recommendations for future party goers as a parent booking different venues for my kids' birthdays the past 9 years: 1. Keep it simple. No fancy decorations.2. Have your food delivered immediately. Unfortunately, I scheduled the food to be delivered 30 minutes into the schedule. It came in a little before 40 minutes. We literally had 20 minutes of relaxed eating before having to clean up and rush to get our things out. We ended up having to cut the birthday cake and pass them out in to-go boxes because we didn't have time to just sit and eat.3. Tell guests to eat and play throughout your scheduled time. Don't waste time to have all guests eat at the same time.4. Guests don't have to leave the arcade area at the end of the schedule. They can stay and stilly play, but all guests need to be out of the party rooms immediately.Overall, the kids had and fun. That's all that matters right now.It's a lot easier to just be a guest, so I'll definitely visit again to play some games with my kids.

I've been waiting for them to open this arcade and am so glad they finally opened. The entrance is a little hard to find, but you have to walk past the hockey place and walk towards the Main Street to get in. Downstairs they had bumper cars, the reality games/rides, arcade games and the toddler sized games in the entrance area (so great). Upstairs they had pin ball machines, pool table and mini bowling.The food was mediocre, but expected. The wings, sliders and fries were good but the cheese flat bread pizza could use more sauce.Only beer and wine here. The service here was surprisingly great and the wine pours were pretty generous. I want to knock off half a star for their flatbread but we enjoyed everything else. We'll be back!

I appreciated the bar-recreational games that was offered at their Tanforan location, so I was excited to visit their new location for the first time.The space was well-utilized and was quite clean. The old Hokkaido front desk and stairwells are still there, but the placement of games looked to be quite intentional, especially the billiards and bowling.The arcade games felt a little more catered to the younger crowd compared to a Dave and Busters or Round 1, and this showed with how many young kids were running around. I like their pinball selection with many new-gen cabinets. The price per round is comparable to pinball/arcade museums around the area.My highlight is the shuffleboard, which definitely could use some maintenance and suffers from a levelling problem. But its a high-quality, full-length table that is offered at an extremely fair price. The billiards are not full sized, and they are charging an exorbitant amount ($5/round). We played one round for feel, but I can't see myself playing it until the price matches the shuffleboard/darts prices, or they charge an hourly rate. However, they offer many new 2-piece pool cues that have a solid weight (yet, there is not chalk in sight).The darts was my go-to in their Tanforan location, but it seemed like an afterthought. One machine is placed in front of a pillar, and there is no regulation markings of the foul line.The arcade is a great addition to the Bay Area, and I can see the perk it offers to young families. I would set this arcade about D&B just because of the recretional games, especially the duckpin bowling. But the quality of arcade games doesn't quite match up against Round 1, and unless the prices and and items change, it might be hard for gama to compete. But I am pulling for them!

Favorite thing about this place is the staff! They were all so polite, helpful & friendly, especially with the kids. Fun for the adults and little ones big and small. Clean space, noticed staff wiping down games and equipment through the night. Didn't get to try the food but definitely will return.

That is completely incorrect. Upon check-in, after speaking with management, I asked if it was okay to meet my family in the dining area to put down the items I carried in my hands before putting the balloons in the car. Management agreed. As I explained to management, YOUR VENUE'S yelp review had balloons floating (aka helium), just 3 months ago. So Management ALLOWED us to keep the smaller balloons and asked us to remove the number 7 balloon because it was flammable. I saw my child and HUMANLY, I just wanted to take a quick 2-minute photo before the balloons would be ruined in the car, and right away we took the number 7 balloon back to the car as requested. We DID comply and kept the smaller balloons, as agreed with management.You said we used the dining area for storage for our party decoration until our party was ready to start? Is that how you see us as customers? We consumed the portion of the dining area because at the time, we had 6 kids and 7 adults. We were purchasing food and drinks while in the dining area, additional game cards were bought, we were all enjoying the environment, adults watching the game, the kids wanted to start playing at the arcade while eating, and so we were NOT just waiting around for the room. We were still giving you guys business on top of the room I was paying for. The Minecraft box was a gift for my child from someone. When the owner came to us in a disrespectful manner and asked us to remove the balloons again, I still complied despite the agreement we had spoken about earlier. I wasn't going to argue about keeping the balloons. I was just simply confused, as how was it a distraction when it was to the side bothering no one. There wasn't much customers in the dining area nor the gaming area. It was literally my family & friends + the owner and his group of his friends across from us. By the time I spoke to your manager, she did apologize, but no other options were offered but my husbands. My husband and I were both upset about how the owner had spoke to us and the embarrassing situation in front of our guests. If we're going by the policy, it didn't say we had 10-15 minutes to set up--it said no more than 15 minutes. So, I was waiting at 5:15 for someone to start me from the beginning. My husband asked if I wanted to stay in the dining area in front of your manager, but that wasn't going to work for our situation, which is why I declined. It's an excuse to say that you guys were "concerned for the enjoyment and safety of the customers OTHER than OUR PARTY" which basically tells me you guys could have cared less about the disrespect you showed to us all because of a accidental balloon policy mishap which like I said in my previous review, I spoke to your management and I acknowledged, apologized for overlooking this policy. The problem I had was the embarrassment in front of my guest, the way the owner and staff spoke to me and my guests not just in the beginning but the entire time. At the end of the day this was for a kids birthday party and you guys saw past that. The fact that I have to keep defending myself and going back & forth like this with this establishment is so disappointing.My family & friends will not be returning to Gama ride especially after this response from the business owner. Hope you can host the next family better than the you treated mine.
