Fast Forward Arcade

Reviews Summary

The arcade offers a mix of classic and modern games, appealing to all ages, though some machines are outdated or malfunctioning. Pricing is seen as high, with complaints about unused credits. Many enjoy the variety and family-friendly atmosphere, but miss prize systems and find certain popular games missing. The 24-hour access and well-maintained machines are pluses, while limited toddler options and exclusive access for hotel guests are drawbacks. Overall, it's a fun but pricey experience with room for improvement.

Customer Reviews

This is an ok arcade. Has a few classic arcade games and, of course, a bunch of the new flashy games. It's open 24 hours, which is great.

Some older games which was awesome but half didn't work and the game "credits" card were a pain to scan. Worse thing is arcades using credits... U always end up with unused credits such a rip off. Go back to quarters or. .25$ value tokens.

Small but does the job for your gaming fix when on vacation. My family had a fun hr there. Only downfall was no prizes in the end for the kids.

Drove all the way here to find out you can't get in if you're not a guest. Why show it on google maps if you can't access it. And secondly you should be able to pay to access this arcade.

Only dislike is it is a little pricey but overall it was a great little arcade. it had old and new machines which entertained the whole group. For the older gamers visit the old machines in the very back and pay attention for a little surprise ??

Arcade focusing on major name high def stand up family oriented cabinets such as Temple Run and Doodle Jump vs Galaga and PacMan. I believe the arcade is also 24 as there is not a redemption desk I don't believe. This arcade is more fun focused vs winning prizes so keep that in mind before you buy a game card.

A few of the machines are flat out broken, and a few others a semi functional. Several machines ate my kids credits but the front desk did offer to replace them.

Wish they would bring back prizes in the arcade do not enjoy just playing or give you more points so you can play more games on the card

Great. They have massage chairs and I use them every time I come back from the parks.

The Mario Kart game has been removed. That was my favorite

We got yelled at by a cast member because we weren't playing the game. But the the games were wonderful and amazing.

I may have gone in too early but a good number of the machines werent running.

Kind of outdated, but fun. There are no prizes here so the ticket function on the games is turned off.

Games are well maintained just wish there were a few more toddler friendly games.

It's an arcade! Great place to take some well behaved kids while on vacation

There is too many machines you can play and have fun?

My favorite thing after walking all-day was the massage chair that even squeezes your calves.

(Translated by Google) It's inside Pop Century. It's big and varied. $5 is 275 credits, and there are other rides that go up to $25 and are more advantageous. The silliest rides consume 20 to 30 credits and don't even last a minute. There are others that cost 60, 300, etc. There are 5 massage chairs that cost $2 for 5 minutes of massage each. Some machines "eat" credit and don't work, using up the credits very quickly. Prepare your wallet if you plan on playing a lot. It's good to explore, but it's not feas

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.”
