Build the Date Night You Actually Want

Sim Time is not a fixed date-night package. Reserve the room and choose how you want to use it together.

Play Something Together

Pick from 14 simulator sports and games, switch whenever you want, and turn date night into a little friendly competition. No sports experience is required.

Bring Dinner With You

Grab takeout from a restaurant you already like and bring it with you. Food, desserts, snacks, and non-alcoholic drinks are welcome inside the venue.

Use the Big Screen

Bring a compatible streaming device, laptop, or console and use Guest HDMI, Guest A/V, or wireless display options for a movie, show, gaming, or other shared screen time.

Keep the Night Private

Only one reservation is in Sim Time at a time. There are no strangers sharing the simulator and no public crowd around your table or screen.

Three Easy Date Night Formats

Use these as a starting point, then change the plan once you get here. It is your private reservation.

Dinner + competition — about 2 hours

Bring dinner, then challenge each other to a mix of baseball, football, bowling, cornhole, zombie dodgeball, and other simulator games.

Games + movie night — around 3 hours

Play first, then connect a compatible streaming device or laptop to the projected screen for a private movie or show. Bring your own streaming accounts and any device-specific adapters you need.

Make up your own date

Mix simulator games, tabletop foosball, Whirl Ball, shuffleboard/curling, building activities, food, music, and the big screen however you want. Your reservation is for the whole venue, not a preset package.

More than simulator games

You Do Not Have to Spend the Whole Date Playing Sports

Date Night FAQs

Is Sim Time really private for a date night?

Yes. Sim Time books one reservation at a time, so your group has the entire venue during the session. There are no walk-ins or other groups sharing the room.

Can we bring dinner or dessert?

Yes. Bring takeout, pizza, dessert, snacks, and non-alcoholic drinks. Alcohol is not permitted at Sim Time.

Can we watch a movie on the big screen?

Yes, with a compatible device. Sim Time provides Guest HDMI, Guest A/V, and wireless display options. You provide your device, power cords, streaming accounts, and any adapters your device requires.

Do we have to play sports the whole time?

No. The simulator has 14 sports and games, but the venue also includes side activities such as tabletop foosball, Whirl Ball, shuffleboard/curling, Biggo Blocks, magnetic building blocks, plus seating, Bluetooth audio, and big-screen BYOD options.

What if neither of us is athletic?

That is completely fine. The games are designed to be easy to try, include adjustable difficulty options, and range from sports challenges to arcade-style target games. The point is to have something interactive to do together, not to be good at sports.

How long should we book for a date night?

Two hours is a good starting point for dinner and games. Around three hours gives you more room to eat, play several activities, and add a movie, show, or console gaming without rushing. Multi-hour discounts are shown automatically during booking.

How much does a Sim Time date night cost?

Standard reservations are $35–$45 per hour for the entire private venue, not per person. Multi-hour discounts are applied based on the length of the booking, and the final price is shown during checkout.
