Los Banos entertainment center seeks feedback after soft opening

Residents hoping to check out Los Banos’ new entertainment center now have a chance to do so, with the business opening its doors Monday for a “soft launch” ahead of its formal debut.

Aqua Entertainment Center, located in the old movie theater at 923 W. Pacheco Blvd., is the newest entertainment attraction in the city. The management team hopes to gather feedback from patrons before the official grand opening in roughly two weeks, marketing manager Jason Serang said.

“People can come test out the bowling alley, laser tag and the arcade area,” Serang said.

However, some parts of the center still are under construction or not available yet, including pizza and party reservations, Serang said. But visitors can still order drinks, hot dogs and other food items.

During the soft-opening period, Serang said the center will open at 11 a.m., but closing times will change based on how many people are using the facility at night. Regular hours will start at the grand opening.

A grand opening date still needs to be set, but Serang estimated it may happen by mid-August.
