Customer Reviews

Super fun arcade right in the heart of town! I've been here several times, most recently, to a birthday party for one of my daughter's friends. They have a range of games available for kids to adults. It's an old-fashioned arcade too, so bring your quarters!

WAY better than expected because from the outside it seems small, but inside it's actually pretty big. Great games and atmosphere. 10/10

Great place for a rainy day and small children. Bring plenty of quarters! Lol

Great retro-fun! Old school arcade and pinball games. Skee ball, air hockey, vintage game cartridges for sale, and Pokemon cards to trade.

Super friendly staff, they have good deals on preowned games, and playing games is cheap and fun. It delivers that nostalgia feeling but is enjoyable for any age group.

Amazing place to take the kids or just hang out and play games yourself. Lots of great prizes and my kids love it. Great friendly owners and workers.

Great place for kids, Awsome games great owners. My kids go at least once a week and have a blast each time.

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.”
