Customer Reviews

The owner Rob is the nicest guy around. Gave me and my friend (who is an autistic young adult) plenty of time as he was closing up to finish our games and even gave us a free VR ride. Really made the experience great. Very clean and well run arcade.

What a great hole in the wall arcade! A FB friend recently posted their positive experience and with that being 10 minutes ride from my house with a five-year-old little boy whom we travel to other closest locations for arcade 30 minutes plus so coming across this was a score! I could go on and on about all the great things about this place, but first I'll start with the original games. They have games that I haven't seen for 20+ years that were definitely favorites and glad to see resurface, next of actual

Great arcade with a variety of game types. Fun for all ages. Play to win tickets on many games to redeem for prizes. A couple claw machines. There is some classic arcade games, my favorite being the Star Wars Trilogy. Two newer Stern pinball machines and a virtual pinball machine too.

Amazing place. I went in and played a few games with my boyfriend for an hour, when we were leaving this beautiful ring caught my eye in one of the machines. i ended up putting in a 10, then a 20, then kept going up asking them to break more, an hour later i ended up not getting it and went up and asked the owner to break another 50. the owner noticed how badly i wanted this ring (it was me and my boyfriends anniversary and i wanted to remember it) and he told me he couldn't let me break it. i thought he wa

It's a cool little place! While it's not as large as Ryan Family Amusements (which I'm not associated with despite my name), it has a much different feel, less corporate and much more classic. It has a similar feel to the titular FunSpot. There's some spray painted art on the brick walls, as well as some sports memorabilia. If you aren't a fan of the smaller size, the owner did say he was going to put more games out eventually. About the classics, the Simpsons cabinet is free play. Besides having to bend d

Finally made it over here and the kids (and adults) all had a great time! I hadn't played Space Invaders in over 20 years, and the kids loved collecting tickets. Great place, Robbie! We'll be back for sure ??????????

Grandaughter and i 2nd visit. Clean and fun! Still get tix! Owner is so helpful. Great time! Popcorn, dipping dots. Air hockey. Claw game play til win a prize! Highly recommend. We will be back

Best little arcade! Went with my 3 yr old and we had a blast. The owner was so kind, explained games to us and offered us a stool for her to stand on. He even gave us couple free games. He went above and beyond. So glad we found this place!

Not to sur about this place I did not feel safe leaving my kids there very strange all adults no kids

Went today and our 3 kids had a blast there. We have one special needs son who is obsessed with anything retro gaming/cartoon and the man that was working(may have been the owner/not sure) was so kind to him. It made his day. We'll definitely be back! Love that they still use tokens!

Robbie is the best! Always has time to talk and enjoy the kids. My grandkids say it's the best place ever. That means a lot!

It's a nice little arcade. I have been to a lot of arcades in this area, and almost all of them have those card swipe things instead of tokens, but this place still has tokens and it really adds to the experience. Watching the tickets spit out of the machine after winning a jackpot is much more satisfying than waiting for some numbers to stop ticking so you can swipe another game. It has some interesting games too, its better to be a small place with a bunch of cool and fun games than a large place filled w

Great variety of video games. It's like how an arcade should be very old skool. Robbie is the best owner he is super helpful and goes out of his way to make sure kids are having a good time!

Awesome place! Locally owned and he goes out of his way to make sure every guest is happy!!! Thanks for the memories you help create for my family.

Nice and modern and just enough nostalgia!! Love that they still use tokens! Thank you

Wonderful old fashion arcade to spend time with your kids. Impeccably clean. Owner very friendly and helpful! Do not miss it!!

It was good he had to get rid of some of his old machines though because he had some sort of leak or something but he is getting new ones and i was like getting some gumballs and he asked me if I wanted a bag bros a real one

I just realized this was open and active but I think this is an amazing idea especially with the growing neighborhood of children we have. I believe it stays open until 7 or 8 so it's perfect.

It is an amazing arcade and has very nice staff!

Great place love going, love the owner, had a ton of fun

Great place! Nostalgic and entertaining for all ages. Highly recommend!

Best place to bring your kids

Great people that run it also great games

Frequently Asked Questions

What’s it like visiting an arcade today?

It’s a mix of nostalgia and high-energy fun! Many arcades blend retro classics like Pac-Man and pinball with modern VR games, racing simulators, and rhythm challenges — often with music, lights, and a social vibe.

Is it better to go alone or with friends?

Both can be great! Solo visits let you focus on your favorite games, while going with friends adds competition, teamwork, and laughs. Many people plan arcade meetups as a casual hangout or even date spot.

What should I bring to an arcade?

Usually just yourself and a way to pay (some arcades still use coins, others use cards or apps). If you're competitive, bring your A-game. If you're social, bring friends or meet new ones over multiplayer games.

What’s the best time to visit an arcade?

Weekdays or early afternoons are usually less crowded — perfect for focused play. Evenings and weekends bring the buzz, especially at barcades or venues with DJs, tournaments, or themed nights.

Can I meet new people at arcades?

Absolutely! Arcades attract a mix of casual players and serious gamers. Whether you're jumping into a four-player co-op or chatting between rounds, it's a fun, low-pressure way to connect over shared interests.

Are arcades still just for kids?

Not at all. While many arcades are family-friendly, there are also adult-oriented ones with full bars, 18+ nights, or vintage nostalgia themes. Arcades today cater to everyone — from first-timers to lifelong gamers.

Are there events or tournaments I can join?

Yes! Many arcades host regular competitions, retro nights, cosplay parties, and more. Whether you're into high scores or just want to watch and vibe, events add an extra layer to the experience.

What if I’m not great at arcade games?

No worries — arcades are about having fun, not being perfect. Try a variety of games, ask others for tips, and remember: the vibe is more “let’s play” than “let’s win.”
