Item Description
$50 Gift Card - WhirlyBall
WhirlyBall is a combination of bumper cars, lacrosse and basketball. Ten people play at a time, in 5-on-5 competition. If you have more than 10 people in your group, players rotate after 10 minute games.
And it's fun.
If you haven't experienced WhirlyBall, grab your colleagues and friends for an outing!
*Gift card is valid toward WhirlyBall, Bowling, or LaserTag activities.
Valid at CHICAGO, LOMBARD or VERNON HILLS locations.
WhirlyBall has a full kitchen and bar for your hunger and thirst needs!
So how did a game that uses unequal parts of basketball, lacrosse, and bumper cars come to Chicago? It is a story of intrigue and blind, reckless determination.
Unlike some unpublished reports, it didn’t begin with a blindfold, a map, and a dart. But it did begin with a question. Where in the world are a bunch of people in need of fun but unable to go outside several months a year? The answer…Lombard, Illinois. In 1993, Sam Elias, our founder, moved from Florida to Chicago to bring the people what they always wanted: 4,000 square feet to bump cars, cross check, slam dunk, and embarrass themselves without getting arrested. And as it happened...this was an extremely good idea.
People needed a release from the nine to five and from Tuesday night bowling. In fact, the desire was even greater than Sam expected. So three years later another location opened near downtown Chicago and eight years after that another popped up in Vernon Hills. Then, to the delight of daredevils and adrenaline junkies everywhere, we added laser tag facilities and climbing walls!
So that’s the story of how Whirlyball exploded on the Chicago scene, and we’re sticking to it.
Well, most of it.
