Customer Reviews
Great arcade, lots of variety and can spend lots of time here to get out of the sun or rainy days. Arcade is well attended and staff is very friendly. No issues with any games. Highly recommend
Great little arcade for the kids! The only change I would make is having some prizes at a lower ticket amount. The lowest they had was 25, so we have 5 cards with 5-20 tickets a piece we couldn't use. Unless they find a way allow customers to combine tickets onto 1 card. Otherwise it was a lot of fun with a good variety of games for different ages!
Fun arcade with tons of selections although wish there was tekken or mortal combat. Not sure why the other reviews are focused on prizes, when it's about having fun at an arcade.
Multiple games missing balls, bean bags, etc. taking your money. Buyer beware.
$2/game for Skeeball is a crime against humanity. A credit is $.25 and they want 8 credits per game
Good games for big kid some games for little kids. When we were there no attendant was there. If you have tickets on many card you can use them together to buy prizes. It's a little load but it is an arcade. Prices weren't crazy.
Very poor prize selection Average amount of games Hella good A/C
We had a great time at this arcade! Good mix of old and new games, not crowded. All games were working. Staff was really kind and very helpful. Very chill vibe overall. Planning to go back tomorrow morning!
a good but small arcade. they have "win every time" games. and my son hit a jackpot for 700 tickets, that he could never have done at chuck e cheese.
Pretty standard arcade. Had a lot of fun playing the axe throwing game and the dancing mania game. Big buck hunter was out of order which is one of my favorites. Ticket machine didn't log out and someone used my tickets. Which was disappointing but overall had a fun experience.
This place looks cool(1*) and clean(2nd *) when you walk in. They even have some neat unusual games (3rd star) but it is too expensive. They don't make it obvious how much each game cost. Its on the little screen but very little & light 'print'. You get 100 credits for $20. One racing game was 20 credits. Our daughters 20$ (+$5 bonus) card was gone in under 10 minutes. :/
Not sure about the positive reviews, but we went in with 2 other families and lots of machines took our credits but would not work. Also, card would take more points off then it was for each game. Supposed to have around 200 tickets when I went to scan it for a prize said 55. One girl there to fix the broken machines and she was overwhelmed as many people were having issues with non working machines. Will not return as it was one big rip off.
Great selection of games and prize machines. Everything is done via digital card dispenser, where you can purchase a new card or reload a card. The card also keeps track of your tickets.
Great place to take the kids. The prizes could be better but as an arcade I didn't expect much. There's no prize store only vending machines so when comparing prices (points) to size of the prize I would say it's less than what you would get at most arcades.
My husband and son went and after putting money on the first card they were not able to reload money. He then attempted to buy two more cards and was unable to even purchase those cards. There was not an attendendent on site for him to speak with to get the situation resolved. Unfortunately my son and him had to leave.
If you want to sit around with no employees doing their jobs while all the machines stop working and take over 25 minutes to reset, then this is the arcade for you. Go anywhere else.
I had a great experience here!! All of the games are fun especially for the kids and cool prizes! The staff was also nice and helpful. Would recommend!
Super nice little place to dive into when the weather turns south. The adults went upstairs to get a drink at the bar and the kids played games. One machine had a malfunction which was quickly resolved by the single employee running the entire arcade by herself.
Really small & crowded. Long wait to exchange your tickets. But, it's the only game arcade in Corolla we could find. Our grandson had fun.
Amazing arcade with so much fun. Almost all machines were working and all were clean and in great condition. Reloadable cards with tickets loaded to card and self service price machines. Great fun for all
It was nice and clean. They have a nice selection of games to play and they were all in working order. 4 generations and we all had fun.
Best selection of arcade games I've seen in a long time. Including: axe throwing, life sized hungry hippo, and Halo. Sure some were out of service, but it didn't retract from the experience!
This place is smaller but has all the games. My children had a blast!
Maybe I'm a stickler for truth-in-advertising fontage but the gloriously 1980s teal and pink ARCADE MANIA logo spoke to memories of joysticks, flippers and endless quarters while its brick and mortar alter ego delivered everything but. No arcade games not incorporating an outsized plastic gun, no pinball at all and seemingly no employees. (Tbf the axe throwing was pretty cool.) I had to leave the "arcade" for air while the kid stood in the endless, fully-automated line to redeem his "earned" "tickets" for
Great place looks nice inside and it wasn't like a run down arcade it was a legit high quality place with lots of fun games and the manager there was very fun and made the time there much more fun and got me and all my friends more into involved into our experience at the arcade can't wait too come back!
10 out of 10. Met An Amazing Employe Nick. He made sure we all had a great time. Great place to come with friends. Highly recommended. Look for nick when you come!!
This arcade is some over priced low fun loud flashy bull. Helper person on site was extremely condescending when we couldn't get a machine to work. $30 for basically nothing.
Lots of machines/ games were out of order but there were no signs, crowded and no staff were there for refunds when machines malfunctioned
What??? Super fun place with the nephews and family!!!! Lots of challenge games. Like team shooters air hockey and hungry hungry hippos.
Worst arcade I have ever been to. Prizes are awful. Some games didnt even work.
We loved all the games there! The adults and the kids! We will definitely be back!
Great little arcade. Convenient if you're trying to kill time before dinner.
Good times. Wish a few of the broken games were operational.
Okay. Newer fun games. Never saw an attendant.. no sanitizer anywhere.. floor was dirty..
No air conditioning and a total rip off. You can spend $100 in 15 minutes somewhere else.
Expensive, loud,any games in disrepair while we were there.
Fair card prices for games. No restrooms available, which is just weird.
Is always clean and I feel like everything works really well.
Good games and atmosphere More prize selection would be improvement
Fun place to go to get out of the sun.
Lots of fun games to play.
Kids and adults had fun
Great place to take kids
Finally a REAL arcade arena in Corolla!
