Customer Reviews

It's nice place cozy my son have a fun over there today and the manager and the stuff. It was so nice with us.

Overly priced it cost me $70 for a 1 year old and an 8 year old. The place looks like it's never been upgraded. Smells and honestly was the worst $70 I've ever spent. Kids were throwing the balls from the arcade games. My 1.5 year old accidentally went to the back when an employee turned her she didn't realize she pushed my daughter. At first I didn't think a big deal because kids fall but my baby ended up biting her tongue and bleeding. Horrible experience, I wish i could dispute the charge but it's not wo

Filthy. Guaranteed that place hasn't been wiped down or anything since they opened. Dont bother taking off your shoes, no one does and it's filthy in there. Kids socks all over the place too.

I've been coming here more than twenty years. I guess I lucked out, but the place was not crowded at all. The elevator is sketchy to say the least, so taking the stairs is highly recommended. For being a children's play place, I found it pretty clean and the rides and games are updated which was much needed. The bathrooms are dated, but don't smell like unserviced port-a-potties or Times Square on a hot August day. The staff is nice, helpful, and don't make you feel like you're annoying them by asking for

Very nice place. They always gives us a donation every year for our Tricky Tray. Happy to write a good review their generosity!! Thank you for always being so nice & supporting our causes. Fun place to go!!

This takes me back to my childhood. We visited recently for a birthday party and it was great! The climbing structures are great for kids, there's a bunch of games and little rides for them. They all had a great time! I like that there was crane games that they could play until they won, so it made it less frustrating for them. The party space is a great size as well! Overall a great experience!

Such a fun place. I read reviews that said it was dirty and staff/kids were rude and clueless. I had the exact opposite impression. Aside from some candy wrappers and a little dust on parts of the upper climbing area....it was super clean. That's nothing!! The staff/kids were super helpful and friendly. Couldn't have been happier. We spent a little over 3 hours there....had snacks at the little restaurant area (which was also very ckean). Great place. Great day!!!Will definitely go back!!! Thank you!

If you need a place to let your toddler run around and burn energy, this place will work. There are a bunch of bouncy houses, a jungle gym, a few claw games and arcade games. Nothing fancy but enough to keep your child entertained.

A great place to get out your energy. Kids under 6 years will have a great time. An 8 year old will need the additional rides and arcades to keep occupied. Great parking. Affordable. Two hours is more than enough time to get it all in.

We had a GREAT time at FunTime Junction! We went for the early play spot - 12p - 1:30p and it was a perfect time as it was just enough kids and adults so that I felt very comfortable. After our play time period was over, I saw the staff going around with a big jug of hand sanitizer and a wad of paper towels cleaning everything down before the next play period began. There are a lot of bouncy house type play as well as video/arcade type games for the 90-min play period. I purchased the $25 combo card and it

My kids always have a blast when we go here. However it is definitely more expensive than goin to chucke cheese or fun plex that's for sure. We went to do the jungle gym and bounce house, it had a cute pirate house and a couple baby slides play houses but the token games and the rides are way over priced. Also we probably would have grabbed a pretzel and drinks if Somone was behind the counter to serve us. So maybe they need to put another employee on the floor to just run the snack bar. Idk. Def. A fun pla

I always used to take my older grandson here when he was a kid, and he just turned 20 last week. Always a good experience. How time flies!

A fun place for a young family. Kids over 8 might time out quickly unless they play arcades. Friendly staff. Ample parking. Left with happy kids.

Nice for kids birthday. But definitely not the cleanest indoor playground I've been to.

My 3 kids and I went today on a Sunday. At first it was crowded but then as time passed it was less people. My kids had a blast. They always have a great time. We Love Funtime Junction now more than before. There are new games and place looks brighter. I like it that they replaced the tokens with cards. So much better and less aggravation with tokens. My kids didn't want to leave. We were the last ones out. I remember telling the owner my kids didn't want to leave. We will be back soon. ??????????????

This place was great for my brothers. I went on Thursday with them and it was not crowded at all. It was perfect because one of them has autism and places like Chuck E Cheese are too crowded and overwhelm him. The workers were very accommodating. It's better to buy the $25 credits because you get 10 extra credits. I bought them for the helicopter ride but the admission alone was enough for them to have fun. There's a climbing maze, a bouncy house and a small playground that we basically had to ourselves sin

The venue is a great spot for kids' birthday parties, and my child had a blast. However, I was disappointed with the staff?s attitude?they were not very helpful, and their guidance during activities like laser tag was lacking. The overall experience could have been much better with more friendly and attentive service, so I wouldn't recommend it for a birthday celebration based on our visit.

Small place your get thru everything pretty quickly, but overall kids had fun and that's what we went there for. Mission accomplished

Scott was amazing by responding to our request for a donation to our major fundraiser in March of 2025. We cant thank him enough for his support of our organization. It takes a village to help all these dogs who did nothing and find themselves abandoned or in shelters. This helps us give them a second chance. The local community should support his business.

I have never been somewhere and get kicked out. They have 90 mins in between sessions. So if u go to a birthday party your fine to be there for 90mins. But if you go just to have fun with your kids we'll then u have 90mins and you pay for yourself and the kids and after 90 mins u have to leave for 30 then reenter and pay again!! Staff was not friendly at all they even told us that they had told us already we had to leave. They give u hardly any credits and u gotta use about 4 credits to go around a little

Waste time, waste money.. very expensive for nothing we spent almost 60$ for one kid? and VERY VERY VERY dirty place? A lot of dust? I will never ever back

A great place for kids parties! No need to worry about bad weather, a little rain or snow won't stop the fun!

We took my daughter there today randomly! I have to say the place had so much to offer! We were lucky when we went today as there were just a couple of families around and it was not crowded. They had a huge thing to climb in with tunnels, A bounce house with a slide, tons of little rides, Crane machines, a children version of mini bumper cars, Lazer tag and arcade games and more! You have to pay admission for the child as well as adults! You can also buy arcade credits up front as well! I will say all of

Basically $20 admission per child and games are an additional fifty cents per play. It's a great time but still overpriced. The Good: I enjoyed the environment more than Chuckee Cheese because there is no annoying music and less of a tween/teen crowd. The helicopter ride is AWESOME and hands down better than anything you would expect at an indoor play place. The Bad: They milk you. Basic admission is $10 but doesn't include the helicopter ride, bouncy house, or laser tag. It's pointless and if you don't

Staff had no enthusiasm, no welcome, no fun. Didn't seem especially dirty, nor especially clean. It was expensive. Pay for entry, then pay for game credits. Over $100 for our family, with just 50 credits. We made our way around, trying to be prudent with our 50 credits, and chose laser tag, which was 10 credits a person, and lasted only 5 minutes. Finally we came to the large-screen PACMAN game. That was fun! When I beat level 1, I got a few cheers from my wife and kids. When I beat 2 and 3 and 4,

I met Mr. Funtime himself, the owner. I hope you get the same opportunity! The place opened in the mid 90s and there's a good chance you remember going here yourself. So why wait? Bring your kid and keep the memories going. There's something for all ages.

Very cool spot for toddlers. Spacious with plenty of options for the kids to explore. There's something different in each corner..I love taking my 18 month old son here for some rainy day fun..Great staff Highly recommended!

it was a great place wasn't crowded and the kids had a awesome time for the price well worth it

My son had a lot of fun, but it was not that clean. The bathroom was in especially gross condition. They should explain better on website the cost of things. You pay for basically climbing and jumping. Everything else is an additional cost with tickets. We ended up spending 50 bucks for 3 of us. At least if they do this they shouldn't charge the adult. The ack of cleanliness was most notable for us. Even the floors needed to be vacuumed.

It is a small place (compared to other playtime locations) but my stepchildren have fun and that is what matters. Have been here a couple of times and we love that the place is never packed therefore kids have enough room to explore and run around. We tried the laser tag game for the first time this past Saturday and my kids had a blast. Reasonable prices and great staff!

Fun indoors amusement park for toddlers. Took my daughter for the first time this weekend and she had a blast. Safe for toddlers with lots to do however cleanliness not great. Giving it 4 stars because some areas were very dusty and dirty. To the management - you have a great place, please improve the cleanliness for children?s safety and well-being.

Thank you so much for your donation to the Hopatcong Warriors!!!

I should have read the reviews before booking my party. Very rushed birthday party. They don't communicate properly. There is no staff helping you during the party. Every time you would have to go to the front desk for help. The guy managing the krazy cars just suddenly turned off each of the cars without even informing that the time is up. They messed up my pizza orders too. I would never return to this place.

I absolutely had a blast with my toddler. He watches places like this on YouTube, it was awesome that he got to experience a place like this in person instead of watching a video about it. My son also enjoyed rides. This place takes cleanliness serious. I came here on a Saturday around 12pm and there was two other toddlers there, so keeping 6 feet was no problem at all, this place is big!

I attended a birthday ?? ?? for a 3yr old. It is small and has just enough to keep the kids happy. The elevator needs to be fixed and the bathrooms need to be updated

Had my sons 3rd birthday here. I had never been but thought I'd give it a go since the reviews seemed OK. I suppose if your going here for just a regular session, 90 mins is fine to have your child play. But to have a whole birthday party, play, pizza, cake, etc; 90 mins is just not enough time, especially for what they charge. The staff was basically young teens (unattentive), the bathrooms were not clean, the party floor was super sticky (and kids were required to have their shoes off the whole time, whi

Perfect for any child 2-10 yrs old!

I recommend completing the online registration prior to stopping in for crowd control and a more pleasant experience. We had a great time with our 4y and 6y. The environment was clean and staff were friendly. The owner was kind and patient to accommodate us and help the boys pick prizes after our session was over. Although about 5 smaller machines were out of order, there were plenty of games and play space to entertain us that the 90 min session breezed by quickly. The technology was impressive with cards

Fantastic place for little kids. Rides, games, tubes to crawl through, laser tag for big kids, and mini bumper cars that even a toddler can drive on their own. Nothing too loud obnoxious, and plenty of seating for parents, including rocking chairs and a massage chair. Well done.

Came here for a birthday last week and loved this place. Much cleaner and more fun than Chuck E. Cheese. Staff are friendly and the kids had so much fun and can't wait to get back! There's a lot to do for all ages.

Thank you so much for your donation in support of the Ringwood Educational Foundation! Our kids always have such a great time at your place! We appreciate you!

Haven't been in years, but it has really changed. The place was so clean (carpets, rides, walls, etc. ) I felt completely comfortable with kids running around touching everything. This is a great place for toddlers and an easy (not so expensive) way to spend a few hours. The management was very friendly and there was plenty of space to sit while the kids ran around. Cafe area is big and there was plenty to choose from. Looks like a great place to have a toddler birthday party.

Overall, this is a great place to bring the kids. It is a great value for the admission price and the staff are friendly and helpful. The kids especially liked the climbing/tunnel areas, arcades, and the riding trucks. I docked a star because the floors could use more vacuuming, as there was dirt in some areas. I'd definitely come back and recommend it to others.

This was our first time visiting and my kids had a blast! The place was very clean which I appreciated. However- staff issue. 3 teenage girls were working you would think I was pulling their teeth out by the attitude and disgust I got when I nicely asked if we could use their assistance in turning on two of the rides for our children. One of the girls (blonde) was so annoyed that she had to put her cell phone down and come help us that it seemed like She was crawling over to us as she was dragging her feet

We had such a bad experience here today, attended a birthday party today and everything was rushed. They literally stopped the birthday boy who is 3 years old from eating pizza so they could cut the cake. They rushed out the kids and instead of confronting the adults about any policies. they decide to tell a 6 year old she has to leave and can't collect her prizes. They are unprofessional, rude, and the place is is far from clean. Will not be returning

This is a great place for toddlers and preschool aged children. I am typically not a huge fan of indoor play-ground type spaces because they tend to be chaotic and overcrowded and leave me wondering what kind of gross kid germs we're catching. Fun time junction always tends to be fairly calm. I've been a dozen times over the last two years and I've never had a time where it's been packed. The facility is also kept really clean. A majority of the ?arcade games? are geared towards toddlers and preschoolers,

I remember this place from when my kids were young. Now they have their own little kids and we went there to let them have some fun. The place has changed greatly. The old worn out carpet has been replaced and many of the older beat-up games are gone and the new ones make the place look a lot better. The staff was very helpful when it came to getting my grandsons out of the climbing tower. They just loved it so much, that they would just laugh at us and climb back in every time we told them it was time to c

We celebrated our toddler's birthday here and we found it by chance. I must say that we were pleasantly surprised with how well everything was organized. The staff members are all very nice and helpful and they made sure everything went according to our plans and wishes. The machines are a bit outdated but still are fun to play. The play area with slides is clean and safe. We thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience and highly recommend this place.

Had a great time there with my son. The prices are cheap as well and good deals. Great indoor playground. The staff was great too. Specifically John M. He was so helpful when I lost my son and he tried talking to him and calming him down. Real nice of him, felt like he went the extra mile. Will definitely be going back!

The kids loved it and I didn't worry about them walking out on their own because everything is gated. I don't have an opinion on the food because we didn't have any, but the play area was clean and a good size for them to run around and get out some energy, which is what I look for with twin 4-year old boys.

It's a rip off. Charging adults with no single game to play. This a an arcade no much physical activity. The helicopter game: you charge 10 credits for brothers yet the ride has many slots?!! Don't waste your money.

Not too many options for younger toddlers compared to some of the other indoor playgrounds we have been to. The slide set was not too clean. And the place felt really warm inside and humid. That could be because they offer hot food in the premises and the kitchen is part of the facility. It seemed like a fun place for older kids with the arcade games. But not so much for toddlers. Edit: Dear Owner - thank you for your response. I look forward to visiting again at some point in the future once the improvem

Here's an update for 2021... This is our first time back since covid started and actually this place is still fantastic. We went on the weekend and it was not very busy. It was easy to register online, and not really much concern about being too close to other people. It seems like they actually added a bunch of new games since we've been here last. It's really great for kids basically from 2 to 10 years old. The place was very clean and accessible for kids. The prices are all clearly marked. I was worried

I just wanted to take the time to give my personal review of my daughter?s 4th birthday party. It was ABSOLUTELY amazing. It exceeded all my expectations and my daughter kept stopping and saying ?I'm having THE best day!??which is all I could ask for. Our party host, I want to say her name was Adrianna (I do apologize if it's not correct) was beyond perfect. She was attentive, and on her game. She made this party for me very easy and I, as the mom, was able to enjoy the day w/ my children, family and f

Well, the place is literally looks like it runs by college kids, and that's obvious they have no efficient management. We were waiting for over 30 min in the line where there was one opened cashier. It was Sunday, so at least they would expect that the place might be full and hire more people. Anyways, my son of course had a lot of fun even with "baby on a mission" option. The food was great.

This place is much smaller then it looks on the website, it can get crowded very quickly. The place is generally not in good condition and is not very clean. A good portion of the machines are completely out of order and are labeled accordingly however are still within reach of the kids. If your kids can't read and get away from you they are going to lose some tokens. If you manage to track down a staff member you'll get the tokens back but that's not always easy. There are also machines that are also on th

Not worth the time and money. My kid was very existed to go but after entering he got bored in 10 mins. Outdated Games. Charging adults doesn't make sense atleast here. You get charged again for buying credits to pay and each game hardly lasts for less than a min. No wifi and got lame funny excuse. Not worth even for 1 star.

We are regulars and enjoy going every time. From their birthday parties to the friendly young staff, my kids have always had fun through the years. I believe his name is John, remembers us every time we come in and is always so kind and patient. Perfect easy rainy day destination.

Great place to have your children's birthday party! Abbey, Morgan and crew took care of everything. Great service and the kids had a great time!

The weekend has really good deals but as a fun place to take your kids during the week it really has a poor selection of pricing options. The building is almost always empty and that probably has a lot to do with its affordability. It needs some serious revamping in that area as I think more people would come if they offered better deals. Almost every thing they offer is a la carte. The plus side is that they don't charge the parents but even the games are insanely priced.

Had a birthday party was very rushed. The owner does not work with you . They charge 300$ for an extra 30 minutes ! Insane when the birthday package is already over 700$ for an hour and a half. Not worth it. Very very rushed

We had a very unpleasant experience today because we were told to fill out a form before to enter the facility so by the time we've done it the remaining time that my kids had to play was to short . We asked the staff member to let them stay few more minutes to complete the time that we paid for, or at least find the way to make something for costumer satisfaction My kids left crying because they couldn't finish playing at the park. VERY DISAPPOINTED.

My son had an amazing birthday party at FunTime Junction! The team there was so helpful and courteous and they did everything they could to make it a special experience for him. Would definitely do it again.

First time ever being here with two boys I nanny and honestly never want to come back. I'm giving two stars because yes there was so much to do for them and that was great. However, there was no manager to be seen and it looked like a bunch of high schoolers were running the joint. All the staff was on their phone. And that's not even the worst part. IT WAS DISGUSTING IN THERE! I feel like I need to burn my kids? clothes from being in there. Floors weren't vacuumed in what seems like forever. Nothing looked

Funtime Junction lived up to it's name. My two sons and I had an absolute blast there. We originally went just for the Laser Tag, which was great by the way, but my boys really enjoyed the large jungle gym and the games were a great time as well. I can see why kids love it here because it was a lot of fun. I read other reviews saying that this place is dirty, but I did not find that to be the case at all, I also read other reviews saying the staff seemed to be uncaring, and I didn't find that to be true eit

The initial excitement of the place was quickly replaced with annoyance that one of the staff was within 5 feet of our family for at least half of our time there. She spent at least 15 minutes watching us play a game offering commentary and not taking cues that we just want to be alone. Meanwhile, several adults walked around maskless or with masks clearly under their nose, and the staff didn't say anything. The bathrooms were dirty, and since you have to wear socks indoors, we had to pick up our kids so th

So much fun for the whole family ?? absolutely amazing ?? ??

Great place for kids! Birthday parties are even better! We had two great hosts Nick and CJ. The hosts were so nice and patient! They went above and beyond for everything we needed. We had a party some years back and thought it was great, this time thanks to the hosts it was BETTER! Can't go wrong here! Definitely 5 star worthy.

Fun (great place for kids)! Also the claw machine is fairly easy if you are experienced and if there is the 500 ticket roll, fairly easy to grab with the claw. Staff was quick and nice, yet I feel bad for there usually only being 1-2 workers and the managers are doing fairly nothing. Could use minor improvements.

I used to love this place years ago, I came back a few days ago and was very disappointed, between the line, the registration and if you go and buy snacks you'll be playing for 1 hour out of the hour and a half that's included in the 10$ dollar fee per person entering the place, makes no sense really. Today we said goodbye to this place... very sad. All the kids were crying hard when they were rushed out! Not cool

I want to thank FunTime Junction for their generous donation to the PLHS music department. FunTime Junction is a great, family friendly place for young kids and their support of the community makes the place even better!

Let's start with, this is a good place for your kids, i came to this place to try out and leave my review, i try to love the place but I couldn't, every adult walking with shoes(sneakers) not so hygienic , some rules needs to be change and thats one of them to start. Employees not rude but not paying attention to customers. And last but not least they give you a bracelet with a number which make you think your kid is safe from taking from another adult, ?? nope the number is just to get the shoe box, really

My granddaughter birthday party was at this location. My grandchildren had so much fun. I think it is over priced. The carpet does not have extra foam underneath for kids protection .

This was our first time there and ny son had a blast! We will be coming back for sure !

Recently raised prices. Machines not working properly. Our 4 year old loves it there. Spends hours enjoying everything. Has her own sweet nickname for the place: Funtition. When we spent about $40 versus now $70. I understand raising prices for revenue.etc...Been there so many times. We loved it. No longer affordable to us. Thank you though.??

We took our four year old twin grandchildren to Funtime Junction. They did not stop having fun for one second. The 1-1/2 hour time slot is perfect and they were tired when our time was coming to an end. All fun and good combination of physical activity and games....

Just went for the first time today (weekend)and it was a great experience. I have a 3 yr old and 1 yr old. We got $5 off from downloading their app. To be fair, it wasn't that busy and we went earlier in the day. The attractions were great for younger kids. They have more kiddy rides (stationary) and a huge helicopter/airplane carnival ride that goes up and down and around. My son went on this multiple times with the unlimited bracelet; they let him stay on which was nice. There is a huge bouncy gym secti

This place is so incredibly cute! My toddler daughter and myself had such a FUN time. The Staff was helpful and kind! We can't wait to come back again. Very clean as well.

Me and my kids love this place but it's poorly ran. The kitchen was dirty and I feel it's poorly ran. You guys need new management instead of a bunch of teenagers who don't care! They look sloppy and out of it. Please consider getting someone in there who actually cares and I bet this place would be better than ever. Ps. My kids got the flu the same night I went there which spread through the whole house!! Thanks ??

Bait and switch. They only let you stay a certain time limit and don't even tell that when your when your paying. You have to follow their time slots, which is ridiculous. Ended up paying 35$ for 40 min of play which doesn't even include arcades. Terrible bang for the buck. Chucky cheese 10000 times better. Shoulda been 1 star but gave 2 because the owner seems like a nice guy. But he needs better operations. Place also a bit run down and old.

I'd give a higher rating if more was included in admission. You have to pay extra for everything but basically one play structure and a simple small playground. While I understand paying extra for rides and games, $5 more for the bouncy castle is a rip off, the bouncy castle should be part of regular admission. Also, the food is practically extortion. Over $12 for 2 slices of pizza and one smallish "large" popcorn was insane. And, unlike Chuck E Cheese or Billy Beez, there is no security system I could se

My had made my daughter's 3rd birthday at funtime junction I had fun and daughter had fun the only thing that I didn't like was that my family wanted to take cake home and they threw out like no problem. we had 2 batches of cupcakes and that was also gone. oh if your giving out candy of your own (Funtime Junction) associates don't put it out on the doorway because other children might just snatch up your candy and your plush toys but overall the food was good.

My family and I went decided to visit this location on a beautiful Sunday afternoon. Everything was fine until our pizza and drinks were stolen. The staff decided to tell us that the drink and pizza were not cleaned up and thrown in the garbage by them. So you mean to tell me..... Adults and children are walking around randomly taking strangers pizza and sodas. Thing is our coats were by the food just so no one would take it. When asked all the manager can say is that her staff didn't do it. Well who the di

Great place for young kids. Gets a little expensive if you want to do everything. It costs to get in then you buy credits to play games and for rides. The climber and bounce house are free after admission. Even though, it's worth it to go. Very clean place and friendly , helpful staff

Had a birthday party there today and would have loved to give FunTime a better review because my boys love it, but after they lost half of my son's birthday presents I just couldn't. I can over look the kid (early 20's) cutting the frozen ice cream cake didn't think to get hot water, to keep the knife in to make it easier to cut (it got to the point that my husband and I cut and served the cake along with my son and one of his friend's), but when you receive attitude from the staff after telling them that t

Very big place the games a little pricey. Kids all ages will love. Food and drinks not good at all

I just moved to Woodland Park from Gibbstown NJ, A friend told me about Funtime Junction, She takes her son here weekly. So I looked it up, the admission price is very reasonable. My 2 year old daughter loved it and had a blast. We stayed and played for over two hours. The only thing that upset her was that the sesame bouncy house was closed. We will definitely be going back. I suggest every parent take their toddler or child up to 7-8 years old. My 13 year old got bored quickly. Also place was very clea

Fun little place. I brought my 2 year old so here on a weekday during school hours so we had the whole place to ourselves. It took us the full 2 hour time slot to feel ready to go. We'd go 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.”

Why are arcade prize games so exciting to play?
