Customer Reviews

Everytime my family has been here we've had a wonderful experience. While the game selection might be small, the prices are competitive and the customer service is amazing. My son just had a birthday party here and the kids were entertained the entire time. The party package was well worth it, and the gentleman we usually see working there is awesome! It's a great place to go to escape the rain and enjoy a little arcade fun.

My family and I had a fantastic time here. The place is big enough for your kids to enjoy but small enough to be able to keep an eye on your children without having to chase them everywhere. There was a nice selection of prizes and it's much more affordable than other arcades. The best part of the place was the owner, who was incredibly kind and generous to my children.

Had a blast with my daughter. I'm not sure if the gentleman working was the owner or just an employee, but either way, he was absolutely awesome. We had a blast, and if we are ever in the area again, we will definitely stop by.

This independent arcade is perfect for folks that want the arcade experience but might be overwhelmed by those giant ones. The owner is incredibly kind to kids and it's obvious he's invested in them having a fun memory. My child asked me "Can we come here every time we're here?" Highly recommend!

The owner was very kind and generous to my kids. We live a few hours away, but will definitely return on our next trip to Newport.

We stopped by this small arcade while killing time before heading to the movies and had a blast. We got there about 15 minutes before they were set to open and the gentleman opened early for us which we greatly appreciated. Not only that but the customer service was amazing. If you are going to Newport this a great little arcade. Check them out!!!!

A fantastic small town arcade, the staff were extremely nice and my son and I had a fantastic time escaping the rain.

The service was amazing, the arcade was goofy and fun and we honestly had a fantastic date and an awesome evening. Its a quaint and exceptionally wholesome arcade, 10/10 will be back.

Owner was very very nice to me and my friend when we stopped by while staying in the area for a weekend. He immediately gave us free games and tickets, as well as free prizes and lots of tips on how to win extra points on a couple of the games. We will definitely be going back and bringing our friends. If we could we'd rate it 6/5 stars.

Donald made such a huge impact to our family. We let him know ski-ball wasn't working and he gave us a credit. No credit needed we just wanted to let him know! We had a 5 star experience from the moment we walked in and Donald made it a 10 out of 5 stars. He even helped us win a game our whole family struggled with!! A huge thank you so much for making this much needed vacation one for the books Donald!!! Core memories for our kiddos as well!!!!

This is such a great little arcade. The owner is so nice and wants to ensure everyone has a great time. My daughter had a blast playing all the games. There is a good selection to choose from and also great prizes to win. Everything was working great and is very clean. We will definitely be back! Thank you!

Great little arcade! We went in for my 7 year old's birthday and had such a great time! The owner was so friendly and everybody had fun. All the kids won enough tickets to get prizes and we all left happy! My oldest asked if we can go back for his birthday! We will be back! Thank you!

Such a pleasant time. The owner is incredibly kind and generous! You can tell he cares about his customers. We will definitely return! Don't forget there is parking in the back and a back door so you don't risk parking in the tight section of 101.

Loved our time here. The guy was so friendly and accommodating to our children! Made their time here so much fun they were begging to go back

This arcade is fantastic! I brought my 9 year old and 6 year old and they both had such a great time playing the games and winning tickets. The owner was incredibly kind and patient. My 9 year old managed to drop her game card inside a machine, and he patiently opened the machine up, helped her get it out, and then helped her win extra tickets. He also taught my 6 year old how to improve her chances on winning the hammer game. The girls had a great time picking out their prizes and both got some extras thro

We all had so much fun here! Our 4 yr old and our 14 year old were entertained the whole time. We were too... lol ?? We will definitely be returning!!

We had such a good experience here with our 3 boys! The man running the arcade is very kind and made sure our kids had a fantastic time. We hope to return before our vacation ends and if we ever end up in the area again we will definitely be back.

It's the perfect arcade for our little town. The size is just right to keep your kids entertained for 1/2 an hour to an hour. They are really generous with the tickets and prizes!

Owner was so so kind! Games are reasonably priced and there's a really nice variety of racing games, coin droppers, claw machine, and shooters! My 3 year old LOVED the arcade and had so much fun. Perfectly placed to go after or before enjoying the shops or aquarium! Easy parking! An amazing place to end our Newport trip!

To whom it may concern: This is a fun place. The gentleman working the front was very kind and helpful. My first time going I didn't get many tickets however the dude at the front blessed me and my little cousin with some extra tickets. How kind! They have the Jurassic park shooting game, big win! They also have a super addicting pearls game to get some tickets, my favorite! It is reasonable to conclude that this is the best arcade in greater Lincoln county area. In short: It is very fun and he is very ni

The person working (owner?) there when I took my 3 and 11 year old girls was extremely kind. Hooked my girls up with lots of extra tickets, gave us a few free games. We'll definitely be going back more and more and urge other parents to take their kiss there for a great time.

Last week I was in Newport with my toddler and this place was an amazing find! The gentleman working there made it such a fun experience! My toddler and family had a blast! Affordable games and great e definitely came home with a few prizes. Highly recommend a stop here!

Had a really good time at this place. The owner is super friendly and hooked us up with free games and tickets. Also gave us some insights on how to score some extra points. Absolutely amazing !! We'll be back for sure. Highly recommend!!

My lady and I stopped by on our anniversary week and we had the best time there. Donald was incredible and made our experience just so much more!!! Definitely recommend and we will definitely be back once we drive through again. Thank you again for everything!

The best little arcade! We had a top notch experience here. Owner was so kind, helpful, and friendly! Clean and games were well maintained, not to mention fun! So glad we stopped by! We will be back!

The owner was great, super nice, and would reward well behaved kids from what I saw, maybe it was everyone but who knows. Games are in decent shape for being a arcade. Let's face it people abuse what's not theirs. We will be back and is worth the stop. Also be sure to buy your tokens from the counter this place has customer service perfected.

If you have kids and need something to do , this is a must visit in Newport. They make sure the kids have a blast

Went in when they first opened and then just went back after being gone for a few months. Lots of new games and now they have big girl drinks as well as soda and snacks. My kids love going there and the older guy working there is so patient and good with them redeeming their tickets. My little girl went back to the counter and ask him if he would help her up on the merry-go-round horse and he stopped what he was doing and walked up to the front with her and put her on the ride and started it for her. Only w

The owner of the store is super nice and friendly! It's a small arcade but the games are fun to play and the bathroom was clean too. Definitely will be coming back here for more fun! :D

My kids had a blast!! The owner is very kind and generous. Highly recommended

Just took my wife here as we love arcades! First off Donald who was running the place was one of the nicest people I have interacted with. It is a smaller arcade but honestly beats any other I have been to! Make sure to check out the Pac Man air hockey, you will need both mallets!. The prizes were thought fully picked! We had so much fun with the pearl drop and the racing games! Will for sure be back here everytime we are close to Newport

I highly recommend stopping in here if you get the chance. My husband and I had an excellent time and cant wait to go back. The owner was very kind and generous, he gave us both extra tickets and credits to play games, and the prize selection was better than expected. ??

Super fun place to take the family, super friendly staff who is very helpful. Totally recommend stopping in when you are in Newport. Great prizes, clean and can grab a beer.

My son and I had such a fun time at this arcade! It's something fun to do on a Saturday night and the owner is one of the nicest guys we've met ?? highly recommend!

We've been in several times and have to leave a review for Donald! He is so friendly and helpful! We love having an arcade in town, but it's so nice to have someone who is so kind running it!

Kids had a blast, very clean and welcoming.They have better price packaging with bonus credits, that allows you to buy and split between two and three cards. We will be back

Great little arcade and fun for both kids and adults!! Definitely worth a visit.

Nice clean place and the owner is very friendly. Not a huge arcade but a nice variety of games. Ski ball , racing games, basketball etc.

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.”
