Y3S is part of the dining and retail district, The Works, and offers 27,000 square feet(!) of fun, including arcade games, corn hole, bowling, ping pong, curling...and that's just inside.

How does Your 3rd Spot Work?
Guests should make a gaming reservation online for a specified arrival time, then purchase "experience passes" for everyone in your party. On weekends before 6pm (when kids are allowed in) a pass costs $25 and includes three hours of all games except bowling. This means everyone in the family has access to the arcade games without reloading a card or purchasing tokens. Add bowling for $15 per person, including shoes. Money-saving tip: Check out Your 3rd Spot's Family Explorer Pass options for perks like half-off experience passes, half-off bowling, half-off kids' meals, and skipping the line.

Your 3rd Spot Activities
For families with kids ages 7 and up, the big draw of Your 3rd Spot is the huge variety of arcade games —think Pac-Man, skee-ball, NBA Jam, Pinball machines, racing games, and dozens more. They even have gaming consoles where guests can play Nintendo and Sega Genesis, and arcade goodies like air hockey, foosball, and darts. Younger kids gravitate to the turf lawn area with lawn games in giant form like Connect 4, Jenga, and yard pong. A big yellow twisty slide and a constant stream of bubbles add to the outdoor appeal. But wait...there's more! Y3S has a huge area inside for cornhole plus 12 lanes for bowling.
