Customer Reviews

Had my son?s 6th birthday party here. We had a small group and it was PERFECT. All the kids (and adults) had a good time. *Stress free* pizzas, cupcakes and lemonade were provided. You can add extras for additional cost, of course. The gentleman working our party, Gavin I believe, was attentive and very respectful. Great manners. They host party?s on their ?off days? ? Manager says more features and/or games are coming. I'm sure we'll have another party there in the future. Blue Ridge has needed this for

BIRTHDAY EXTRAVAGANZA! We had the best 8th Birthday for my little girl! The rental packagecame with everything and all the extras! Anything you could need they provide! I will continue to do parties here and recommend to all my friends!

Easily the most fun my nephews (4 and 8) had on our vacation visiting family in Mineral Bluff! Prices are great and the play cards are a super convenient way to keep the fun rolling! The atmosphere is prefect for kids all ages! They were so excited to see the only dinosaur in captivity in Blue Ridge along with all the other themed decorations! Very cool place! Couldn't recommend it enough!

Had a blast! Practically any retro game you can think of is on the 3 multicades they have. Will definitely come back!

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.”
