What an incredible experience this has been for our little Esporter! Not only is it a super cool place, with dark lighting and glowing computers that make gamers flip with excitement, Nadia and the team deserve medals for how supportive they have been to our son and his special needs. We are so grateful for Nadia for creating such a wonderful and accepting space and really just thankful this place exists. Our 7 year old has done a few different camps at Esporterz now and can never wait for the next one to
My son has had a wonderful experience at Esporterz with Nadia and all her coaches. He's done both the coding/gaming weekly sessions and summer camps. It's one of his favorite activities and has grown with him over these past few years. It's always a positive experience. Nadia is the best!
If you're looking for a place where your kids will actually enjoy their camp experience, then esporterz is it!! I have pre-teen twins- boy and girl, and this is a camp they both really look forward to every break and summer! They can go together and have such a great time playing the games inside with each other and others and also the outdoor games are always fun, engaging, and creative! Nadia and her team are outstanding and put their hearts into it We are so grateful to have found this place!!
Our family loves Esporterz. It is a welcoming, inclusive, positive space for all types of kids and our son (9 years old) & daughter (11years old) have been going regularly for the past 4 years. They started with a week of summer camp, which they loved, and were hooked from then on. We are pretty light on screen time at home and our kids are active and sporty but the way Nadia and her team turn gaming into a team building, cooperative and social experience is amazing & engaging. In addition to their annual w
We absolutely love ESporterz! My daughters have attended multiple camps here over the past few years, and every single experience has been phenomenal. They always come home more confident, more skilled, and more inspired. Not just as gamers, but as creative, collaborative thinkers. In an industry that can often feel intimidating or exclusionary for girls, ESporterz stands out in the best way. It's run by Nadia, a trailblazing female owner who has created one of the most welcoming, inclusive, and empowering
My teenage son has had an amazing experience at Esporterz for the past year. He was trying to find an esport team to join for awhile and we happened across Esporterz and their wonderful esport program. The owner is kind and truly cares about the kids. The coaches have all been outstanding and supportive. The facilities are very clean and have top gear. I just wish we'd have found them earlier. If you have a kid that loves video games and they'd like to be a part of an esport team, this is THE place.
My son has been a member of Esporterz for 4+ years and it has all been AMAZING! It was a great community during the pandemic and his 14th birthday party was a hit! He has attended 2 camps. He started playing Fortnite and them moved to Valorant. The teams he has been on have always done well in the league they play in, which competes on a national level by playing against teams from all over. My son is a senior now in high school and received many emails recruiting him to play for college teams. Esporterz
It may look like just a cool gaming/coding place for kids, but Esporterz has been our kids' home away from home. The owner and staff are knowledgeable, kind and LOVE the kids. My kids have not always been able to participate on teams, but they love being on the Fortnite team. Do yourself a favor and book a birthday party, or send your kids there for coding or gaming. You will not be sorry and maybe one day you will get to look back over the years, as I have, and be so very grateful that you found a place wh
My son has been a member of Esporterz for 4+ years. Nadia, her family, and the coaches have all been AMAZING! We found Esporterz during the pandemic and it was a life saver for my son. He needed a community and he found it! Nadia also helped to facilitate a great party for his 14th birthday, and he has attended 2 camps. All the options at Esporterz helped my son easily move from Fortnite to Valorant, and his teams have always been organized, bonded, and very successful in their leagues. My son is a sen
Esporterz is great. I've been part of their community for a little over 3 years now, and I've never had a bad day with them. The facility is really clean and neat, and all the gear they have is high quality. I've never walked in seeing a sweaty chair or crumbs on the floor. The location is also nice with lots of food options around. Their staff and owner are some of the nicest people I've ever met. The esports team experience is the best around. The coaches are smart and kind, the assistant coaches are es
One of the best summer camps in Marin -- it's well run and the kids request it every year. We couldn't be happier with all our experiences with Esporterz.
The owner, Nadia, is the warmest individual. Nadia took the time to field all of my questions and address my concerns, prior to registration (I was on the fence about sending my special needs child to camp). She even reached out again, the week before my son began camp, to check in and pose thoughtful questions; her goal was to ensure that she and her team were creating the most ideal environment for my son and arranging, on their end, all of the appropriate accommodations. She genuinely wants every child t
Our teen son had the most amazing summer at eSporterz. He's loved every element of it from the gaming to the coding to the social time with his peers and counselors. Nadia and her team have created a wonderfully supportive and inclusive environment for all kids. I truly cannot say enough good things about eSporterz.
Disneyland in Marin!! Once I accepted that technology isn't going away, I looked into options for my two sons. I'm so thankful to have found Esporterz! My older son joined the Fornite team so naturally my younger son wanted to join. The owner (Nadia) created a non competitive Minecraft team for younger kids. He now has 5 friends that joined. They get coaching every week and have a blast doing it! As a mom, I've seen them learn the keyboard, improved communication skills, team work, and how to set boundaries
After our local coding club closed, we were at a loss for coding options for a teenager to learn in a fun and structured environment amongst his peers. Thankfully Esporterz started its program. My son has taken two coding camps and now is part of their after-school program, where he is excited to continue learning Python and expanding his love of coding.
My 10 year old son joined the Fortnite league. This is his favorite thing to do a week. He doesn't mind the 1.5 hour drive each way. They do such a great job at making it fun and competitive. Definitely recommend!!
Personally, I very much enjoy Esporterz. It's a ton of fun and I've made lots of new friends. I've learned a lot about coding fun games, and I've also learned new video games. Esporterz teaches you a lot about coding and video games. Esporterz also allows you to join video game leagues/teams. Some of the leagues are Valorant, Fortnite and Rocket league. The coaches are great and teach you a lot. The coaches also make sure to help you when needed. Overall, I love everything about Esporterz.
Esporterz has really helped my middle school STEM child expand his passion, interests and knowledge in coding and technology in ways he could not before in Marin. This is a great resource for any student interested in computers and/or technology. Thanks for being so supportive and filling a need in Marin for our STEM students. We truly appreciate it.
Friendly owner makes me feel super comfortable dropping my kids off for an hour or two. Easy payment system and really cool gaming stuff. Kids give it two thumbs up!
Just had my son?s 8th birthday there! It was a blast and super low-stress! Thank you Nadia for a wonderful party.
Super fun! Great way to entertain a dozen 7 year olds with mixed STEM and gaming activities. Great value.
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.”
Yes, virtual reality (VR) games in arcades are a top attraction in 2025! Titles like Beat Saber and Half-Life: Alyx deliver immersive thrills with cutting-edge headsets, motion tracking, and responsive controllers. High-resolution displays and spatial audio create heart-pounding experiences, from slashing rhythms to battling zombies. Arcades feature multiplayer VR zones and tournaments, fostering lively communities. VR booths are regularly packed, proving their captivating, next-level gameplay makes them a must-try arcade experience.
