I booked a birthday party for my son?s 8th bday. Unfortunately the person who confirmed my reservation did not communicate it to the staff. They were not prepared for our bday group. The party that we booked was for a VR party for 10 kids. Most of the VR did not work. It took them over an hour to get a couple of them working? The place is nice. Free Parking right infront was a plus. The room is small but was ok for 10 kids.
Gamestation was nothing short of amazing. We held our football party there for our 7u team and the hospitality was great. They made sure we had everything we needed and was very welcoming. The boys had an amazing time playing video games and the adults also had a great time taking part in Karoke. It was a great time and we look forward to having more team events here. I recommend Gamestation to anyone looking to have a great time for kids as well as adult. Thank you again for hosting us you didnt disappoint
Gamestation was amazing. My son and his friends loved it. It was also a hit with the parents, who are now looking to plan future events. Thank you to the great staff as well for being so helpful and attentive.
I planned my son 8th birthday party last minute literally in 2 days and this experience was so amazing. My son and his friends had a ball, the music was great so many game options. The customer service was beyond great, & the staff were beyond helpful. My son and friends already planning to go back. Thank you for help making my son birthday special.
It is a nice and cozy spot for small groups. All the different game systems and arcades is really nice. Staff is nice, I think it's family ran and they try to work with you as well.
Absolutely wonderful place to have a party. They were totally accommodating to my schedule, late notice and my guests. There was something there fif everyone. My son said after his party there it was the best birthday ever! Rick and his wife are fabulous hosts and Matt was great with the kids. Definitely using this place again!
Great place for the family, a guaranteed fun time for all ages, the owners and staff are very friendly and go above and beyond to make sure your event will be successful.
My son had his 9th birthday party here on March 1st and he loved it. The owners were great. They helped make my sons birthday very special. He and his friends had so much fun playing all of their favorite games. We will definitely be visiting again and I will definitely recommend to friends and family. Thank you again for everything. ????
From the moment I booked the party the owner kept in contact with me via email and text to confirm details, questions and concerns. His staff was very attentive and helpful especially with the kids during the party. They even joined in on games and interacted with the children which made it more fun. I had about 18 children attend our son's party as well as several parents who also had a great time hanging out and having fun doing karaoke.
I had my son?s 13th birthday party at GameStation and it was the absolute best. My son and all his friends had such a great time. Everyone really enjoyed themselves. The owner Rick and his staff were very kind and attentive. I would definitely book here again.
This is my second time here, first was for a friends party and this time was my daughters surprise party. Not only is it a black owned business but it is family owned!!! Keisha and her family was amazing! Amazing hospitality, the place was very clean and the staff was very helpful and sweet. They take temperatures upon arrival and supply hand sanitizer to keep everyone safe. I will always recommend this place for anyone! Great space, great owners. All around AMAZING!!!
I had my daughters 10th Birthday party here about 2 weeks ago. She loved it her guest loved it! Kisha and her family were great! They followed all the property safety measures for all of us to have a good time! We would definitely come back!
We had a great time, parents and kids both enjoy the time there. Staff is very friendly and attentive. The place is clean, organized and reasonable priced. Staff went above and beyond to make sure everything was going smoothly. I will recommend this place to anyone that wants to have a celebration there. Specially for boys that are not easy to impress. Thank you all for making us feel welcome in your space. Best wishes to all of you. Thank you!
Had my son's birthday party here today. Everyone was great. My son had an amazing day. The staff did everything they could to make sure his day was great. we had a party room. If I needed anything they made sure I had everything.
Was very disappointed in their service. My grandson?s 5th birthday was a disaster! No popcorn machine, etc. that was supposed to be included in the price. They changed the time of the party at last minute because they had over booked. Never explained their Policy on how long you can be in the room where you Have your food and cake. We were rushed to feed the kids their cake so they can clean the room for the next group. We didn't get plates for 25 guess.we had to ask for utensils to eat. We were told that
Gamestation gave my family and I a great experience. I threw my son a party for his 13th birthday and he really loved the place as well as our guest! The staff was very helpful for the 4 hours we were there. They provided us with ice, popcorn, and juices for everyone, as well as access to their kitchen where they provided us with racks and pans to warm our food. They were very hands on and constantly checked in with us to make sure everything was going smooth. They are keeping everyone safe by doing their p
Keisha and all the staff were very friendly and helpful during the process of throwing my son surprise party. Gamestation was very clean, everyone had their temperatures checked & hands sanitized before entering which is a great way to ensure everyone was able to have fun safely during Covid. My family and I had an amazing time and we look forward to coming again.
I had my son 8th Birthday here at gamestation. It was amazing thanks to the wonderful staff. The place is so clean and inviting and the art work exudes excitement. The staff is so helpful and pleasant and my guest loved it. Shout out to Rick his Hospitality is on 1000. This place is worth every penny. I am truly satisfied with my experience.
First of all I absolutely love this place. My son's party went great, and even when i forgot a few things they were prepared and made sure the party went without any hiccups. I could spend hours here i was bummed it was over! Just the decorations alone were impressive. Definitely coming back.
Came here with my boys to a birthday celebration months ago. The boys had such a good time they wanted to come back. So, I promised to come back to celebrate their elementary school graduations. We were back last weekend. We had a great time at each visit and intend to return for more great times. Thanks so much, GameStation, for accommodating my crew.
This place is amazing!! Babygirl?s 4th birthday party was awesome! I'm not a party planner at all! So I needed a space that would be all inclusive and I got just that! My baby was signing Karaoke, the adults were singing karaoke ?? That VR tired me out and had me trying to fight forreal! There was a line for the VR that only the 10+ folks got to enjoy and that was fine because the under crowd was busy with a massive connect four, darts, the shuffle board, and host of other things to do. & the older big kids
Definitely a great place that caters to all ages. The accommodation that were received deserves this 5 star rating. I literally called less than 24 hours and they exceeded my expectations. The prices are reasonable and the staff are very friendly and helpful.
I recently visited GameStation with my daughter and few of her friends and we were blown away. The hospitality and the attentiveness of the staff was remarkable. We also loved the set up and the cleanliness of the facility! I will definitely recommend GameStation to friends and family. We will be back again!
Thank you so much. My family and I had a great time and we would recommend this establishment to everyone.
We had such a great time at GameStation. The owners are really cool & welcoming. My nephew had such a great time at his bday party. I would definitely recommend.
One of the coolest Black owned businesses in Southeast Queens. It's a great place to take your family and their team are very accommodating and make you feel very welcomed. I cannot wait to go back and bring more family and friends with me.
Great place to throw a childs party. The staff & owners were amazing and very hospitable to me & my quest. We loved it so much that we highly recommend it to all especially around this time with Covid-19. They followed protocol in keeping everyone's safety first priority.
Had my son's 10th birthday party here and it was just what he wanted endless games for him and his friends. I didn't believe them when they said that the kids would not even care about anything else but they were entertained the entire time. I definitely recommend for any gamers even adults.
I had a great time mingling with new people. It felt like a safe and inviting place. I enjoyed being able to enjoy several different games besides video games. I had so much fun im planning an event there with my team. Also I like the fact everyone had to wear masks and had thier temperatures taken upon entry.
Owners were fantastic hosts, went for a birthday party/fundraiser. So much fun, great venue that just happens to be black owned , fun game, clean, professional, excellent service. Will definitely return
I really enjoyed our son?s 9th birthday at Game Station. The staff was amazing and made sure our guests were comfortable and enjoying themselves. Can't wait to come back!

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.
