About Splatter Room Iowa- Merle Hay Mall

Rated 4.5 out of 5 from over 400 reviews, Splatter Room Iowa at Merle Hay Mall in Des Moines offers both a rage room and a paint room, the latter featuring a neon black light setup that sets it apart from standard smash venues. Guests have demolished printers, keyboards, windshields, waffle irons, and glass bottles using bats, and many reviewers describe the experience as genuinely cathartic.

Sessions run 30 to 90 minutes and average around $20 per person, with packages sized for solo visits up to groups of eight. It's marketed toward birthday parties, date nights, and families, with a minimum age of 10. BYOB is permitted, gift cards are available, and group pricing applies. Some reviewers note the rooms run small and flag inconsistent staff experiences, but repeat visitors appear regularly across the reviews.
