I took my daughter here every week but I will stop from now. After the game, my daughter wanted to change the ticket into the candy, but the White thin lady took it and thrown it in the table very rude. I feel disrespected . Never come back because of unprofessional employee. I spent money for that but what I received was the rudeness!
On december 28 , I visited your arcade expecting to have an enjoyable experience with my family. Unfortunately, my time there was completely ruined by the unprofessional and outright disrespectful behavior of one of your employees. This individual not only displayed a rude attitude but also acted impatiently toward my 2-year-old child, which is completely unacceptable. To make matters worse, while I was actively playin
Me and my family had a great time at the arcade the other day. The employees there were very nice but especially Raphaela. She was very sweet and patient with my 2 year old which I appreciated a lot. We will definitely be coming back again.
Every trip my daughter & I make to Arcade Time, we have so much fun. Rachel makes our experience even better with her friendly smile and great service. Definitely recommend making a stop with friends & family.
Me and my friend, went to Arcade Time on Tuesday. The Staff there greeted us with such care, Raphaela specifically made me and my friend who struggles with autism feel so welcome and explained everything to us so wonderfully. My friend has a hard time being comfortable with going out but she made his experience so much happier just by her true kindness
Came here earlier today with a group, had a ton of fun! I was kindly helped by Caleb! Very knowledgeable and considerate. I'll for sure be coming back, very chill place.
This place was clean & well staffed with nice looking colorful game machines. Very expensive. My 10yr old Granddaughter blew thru $53.50 in about 20-25 mins. In my opinion, the claw machines are set up so that it's entirely impossible to grasp/pickup/win one of the items/prizes (stuffed animal, squishy, ETC.) We did not see anyone win anything. Would have been nice to leave with at least one of the prizes in claw machine which are probably valued at $5. My granddaughter almost exclusively did the claw machi
Haven't been to the mall in a bit and saw the signs for the arcade. It used to be smaller and upstairs bur now in the new location downstairs is really big. There are so many games now. We talked with Johnathan and he explained all the new things going on with the arcade and the military discount which I appreciated. Showed us some of the games and around the arcade. Would recommend spending a little time here if you want to play a bit of old school retro games and coupled with the newest ones.
me and my boyfriend had just an absolute blast here! such fun games and everything is so clean. employees are super amazing as well and incredibly nice, and Rachel was super helpful as well!!
This place is a great place to enjoy the nostalgic memories of the good old days! If you have any questions, ask for Rachel! She's knowledgeable about their games and excited to help with anything you need. Great times to be had!
Arcade time was awesome. Didn't even know it was in the avenues and was going to take kids to main event next store, but this was cleaner and better. Jonathon was the associate and was great giving the kids tips on what to play. Will definitely be back
Love this place! Amazing time with friends or family for its smaller size in a mall. Rachel was super kind and helpful to our group. Will be coming back!
My daughter and I love this place! The claw machines are our favorites. Lots of good games and the staff is friendly. Jonathan in particular has always been helpful and patient while my daughter cashes out her many points lol. Our favorite arcade in Jax!
great selection of games! was a little confused at first but the lady at the front, rachel explained everything very kindly and overall just made me feel very welcomed. wish they had guitar hero though.
Caleb was really helpful in explaining how to acquire a card and load funds. My girlfriend and I enjoyed our 1st game of air hockey together! :)
Went to the mall for lunch and stumbled on the arcade. We spent about an hour there. Fun duck machine. Raphaela was super nice to our little one. We will be back!
best arcade around! friendly staff and great prizes. the tickets automatically go onto the card making the process super easy!
Fantastic little arcade! Enjoyable atmosphere, and if you're looking for a up-to-date Pump it Up cab near Jacksonville, this one is excellent! Staff are very friendly and accommodating. Will be coming back in the future!
Rachel is amazing!! I highly recommend her, she gave us great deals. Overall had a good time at the arcade!
They have quarter machine to scam money! Their response is ?just sorry!? Even though they have an option to control not to scam !!!!
A combo of old and new school games. Loved the atmosphere! Caleb was fantastic and helpful. Thanks to everyone holding it down at arcade time!!
I love how they expanded. They are making steps in the right direction just need help word getting out there to keep arcades alive. Thanks to Jonathan for greeting us and being friendly as soon as we stepped in!
I didn't know the mall had an arcade but I was pleasantly surprised to see it here. I appreciated the retro games and Caleb was a great help in getting my game card set up
Super nice manager and staff. Games are always sanitized each morning, and the fact that all your credits and tickets go directly to your card is nice. Their deals where you can save more money by buying more credits is great ??
Love this place so much! Caleb is a great worker and super helpful with any problems I have had, even going out of his way to help when I lost my card.
The service was great Raphaela and Rachel were really nice even if you don't understand the place they will help out
Took my kids here and we will not be returning. Employees were preoccupied with their phones and the ball to the bowling game was not coming out and I did not get my tickets back. My kids love basketball but there was a group of people sitting in the game and they couldn't play. I purchased a 50 dollar card and all I got to show for it was a little red wind up car. I am not sure who manages this arcade but they need to get their acts together.
Such a fun experience. The place was clean and had friendly staff. Rachel was absolutely amazing!
Stopped by yesterday and had a blast there playing a mix of arcade classics and newer titles, Caleb was very helpful at front desk!
I think this place is a great place to hang out, an employee their named Raphaela is very polite and willing to help all the customers there, honestly a great experience
This is a great arcade hidden at the back of the mall. We had a blast and Johnathan was super helpful explaining the cards and discounts. Its another excuse to stop by the mall.
Had the best time at Arcade Time! Caleb was super helpful and attentive. Can't wait to come back soon!
They newly renovated and added a claw room but its $2.50 an attempt for the claw games. But usually when it's so expensive they rig it less so you can actually win. No, the claw grip strength is worse than the local 50 cent machine. Total scam.
The service Mathew and Caleb gave was great the even took their time and gave us an extra lollipop
Great place, Rachel was amazing she explained all the games & helped us when we needed her !
This was our second time in the arcade and each time has been great. Johnathan was very friendly and help during our visit today
the absolute best arcade in jacksonville! a great selection of games, especially for the space given. affordable prices and modern tech that provides for all your credits and tickets to be placed on your card (suck that d&b). an awesome selection of prizes, not to mention the staff is AMAZING! everytime i've been they've been nothing but helpful and attentive to any issue. all in all a perfect pit stop for some fun, games and entertainment. make sure to stop by if you're in the area, you wont regret it!!
Place was awesome... very clean and the staff was very nice. Rachel was fantastic!
Johnathan was a great help! He was helpful and super nice to my kiddos
Matthew was an amazing service to us, will definitely come back!
If i can just say.. this place has the atmosphere where MY inner child thrived!!! The staff/crew and manager on staff were super accommodating (even when i asked a million questions) and even played a few rounds with my family and I.. welcome to Jax, Arcade time! P.s. - my overall impression began the moment the manager walked over to me and returned my money to me that had fallen on the ground. Also, Squid?? Bada** name!!!
A girl gave me attitude, when I wanted to get the lowest priced card. Kept trying to push me to buy more. And some games kept taking my tokens and would let me play. What a waste of money.
Such a perfect arcade spot inside the mall!! I love how the cards never expire, I always come back to this place! Super clean and I'm always welcomed with a smile!
Matthew was the best! Great service will come back soon.
This place was so much Fun! Heard about it through a friend who was there recently. Great selection of games and very clean and Such a friendly staff! Will visit again soon!
Raphaela was a very helpful worker and made our experience phenomenal!!
This place really was awful , they're so expensive for no reason and all there games are 20 points or more . We spent $50 and literally played 6 or 7 games and most of them aren't even for tokens . Then the ticket prizes are so cheap , my son was so devastated because he played so hard to get something cool ? he got a Chinese handcuff toy . Very much not worth the money .
Caleb was awesome, had a good time, the pinball machines were awesome!
This place is AWESOME! The staff was very attentive and explained all my options so that my family could have the best time. I will definitely be back.
Had a fun time there with my brothers and daughter. They were super understanding about my little one being a little rambunctious and we all had a great time. I'm glad there's a place like this in the mall finally.
Most fun I've ever had ?????? Raphaela and Rachel are the BEST ??????
this arcade was so fun! Rachel was great and helped me out when i had any questions
Really cool spot, loved it and will most definitely be back. Had a a good conversation with the manager about coffee. Thanks for the tips Squid!
It's a cute, fun arcade. A lot of fun and unique games with a bunch of old retro style arcade games. Had a lot of fun, will be going back. And they have air hockey????
Took my little brother there for a ?guys? night and we both had a wonderful time, we might turn it into a monthly thing. It's fun for all ages!!! Don't believe me go and see for yourself
cute little arcade. pretty nice overall and one of their employees caleb was very helpful
This place is the best to hangout ??? Rachel and raphaela were great!
This place was okay. Wish they had a little more variety of games. My 8-year-old son had a good time but he said he wish there was more games.
Excellent vibe and atmosphere for everyone, especially families! The manager is lovely and it's a great place to make great memories!
great environment, the workers are super friendly and do their best to make sure every kid is having a good time.
I liked the ducks. Caleb was awesome!
Very nice, clean, and fun. Jonathan was great!
the arcade was fun. Raphaela and Rachel were rly nice.
Best mini arcade in a mall and costumer service is amazing! Very clean and super friendly! Definitely check it out and I'll be back more!
What can I say? Management is on their game and it's apparent they do their jobs well. Excellent establishment and I would recommend it for sure.
Johnathan was great, and was an amazing place in general!
The employees working front of house are great but the management is really lacking. The management was generally rude & acted superior to the other employees and customers.
I think this place is awesome it is a friendly place for the kids they have so much fun and it's in a great location in the mall there's so much for the kids to do
so much fun, great games, love the workers and environment, not to mention the cool one with blue hair
very nice workers, especially Raphaela
Great Place to bring kids, nice environment, great location in the mall, staff are amazing, shout out to the managers.
Great idea to bring to the mall. So happy kids have a safe fun place to hang out at now.
This place is awesome!! My cousin and I had a blast and won lots of prizes ??
An amazing place to bring your friends and family too while at the mall! Great atmosphere & great location!
Great new place in the Avenues with a cool assortment of games and attentive staff! We will be back soon!
Don't expect any tickets. Despite the games telling us we won a certain amount none ever came out.
The atmosphere is great! Great place for family and have an excellent staff!
Awesome customer service from Caleb and Matthew
Conveniently located in the Avenues food court. Mostly kids games and ticket games. New and clean but not many fun games.
Never play the claw machine here, you'll never win!!!
Smells like feet. No one who works there cares about their job. Don't go here.
Great stop for some fun! It's also near the food court which is Awesome!
Mathew is really great with customers
Not bad for a modern chuck e cheese mall arcade I guess.
Very helpful employees. Fun atmosphere!
Can you guys consider a Pump It Up dance machine?
This is an awesome place!!!! So glad you guys finally opened!!!!
Kind of disappointing must be under new management.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.”
Absolutely, retro games in arcades remain a thrilling draw in 2025! Classics like Pac-Man, Space Invaders, and Street Fighter II offer simple yet addictive gameplay, blending nostalgia with timeless challenge. Modern arcade cabinets often feature crisp displays and restored controls, enhancing the experience. These games thrive on quick reflexes and strategy, with vibrant pixel art and iconic soundtracks that spark joy. Arcades host tournaments and leaderboards, fostering a lively community. While modern games dominate, retro titles provide a unique, accessible thrill that keeps arcades buzzing.
