Geeks Mania Arcade

Epic arcade for any 90's kid. I mean old school arcade games galore. They even have an X-Men game that is rare(see photo). I'll be back for sure. Great prices for all day use

THE BEST VALUE IN MADISON! I can pay $100 for an hour at a local restaurant/game place -OR- I can spend $10 for an entire day of gaming fun at Geeks Mania. We all have fun here: kids, parents, grandparents. Lots of variety to choose from. Fun atmosphere. We keep coming back!

I had so much fun here for game night! Will be back for sure for family and friends night out. The place was clean and the games were very fun. The air hockey table pucks are a bit rough but all of the other games were great. We played race car games most of the day and had too much fun.

Great family value. Hundreds of retro arcade games. All the classics and many more! Pinball, air hockey, dance revolution, pool. No quarters or tokens. $15 gets a wrist band good open to close. You can even go get lunch and come back!!. $1 soda and waters . Can't go wrong.

Had my sons 8th birthday party here, great party room with everything u need, huge amazing selection of unlimited games! Downside, when booking the room, I spoke with a manager who said, "We will work with you...", and "We are pretty flexible on pricing"(specifically for grandma, dad, sister) Well when we got there, the man at the desk was not all "flexible" or "working with" me, charging for everyone unexpectedly. I suggested making sure staff doesn't promise things that can't be done. So major points los

Very cool place, clean, the games look great, they're not blasting you with music like most arcades do, so you can actually hear the game you're playing. Not a fan of LCD monitors in the classic games, and a lot of the pinballs had issues, and were not level, so they were difficult to play, but I'd go back. The giant projection X-men machine is amazing.

Great place to take the kids for an afternoon of playing vintage video games from when I was a kid! Lots of fun for everyone!

Did a Madison adventure day with my son and planned to go to Rossi's for some arcade games, but upon finding out they were closed, we went searching for another arcade. A friend local to Madison recommended Geeks Mania so we figured we'd give it a try. It was exactly what we wanted and more! The prices were extremely reasonable. I paid $20 total for wristbands and then all the games were included. We were there for over 3 hours and I guarantee we'd have spent way more than that at a standard quarter arcade

Update: This year (2025) we celebrated his 18th birthday here. He graduates this year and is off to college somewhere in the big wide world. This year, as previous ones, Geeks Mania offered a top notch location for his party. The party room is crystal clean, including the full sized fridge. This year the room has a classics arcade game for private use of the party guests. Out on the floor, all games were clean and in working condition. I don't think I've seen the tops of pinball machines so clean at any o

We had a great time celebrating our Grandson?s 13th birthday there today!!!

This is be best bang for your buck and you don't even have to worry about tokens. Unlimited game play all day for a low price. LOVE THIS PLACE. Nostalgic games and new alike. Highly recommend

No one is allowed inside without buying a $15 wristband. No exceptions, even for a disabled old lady who just wants to hang out with her husband and son. I had to sit in the car and wait for them, and I can't even stand long enough to play one video game. Unreasonable and ableist.

Great price. $15 flat entry fee with lots of games to play. Great vibes overall.

Awesome all you can play arcade and pinball! Almost all games were functioning when we went. Carpet and bathrooms could use an update, but you're here for the nostalgia and the games! Very fun.

Cool spot! Only $8 for free play on all of the arcade games. Skee ball, dance dance revolution, etc? lots of old school arcade games I haven't seen in years. Good selection of pinball machines as well.

Took my kids here for Father?s Day. Got here when they opened and stayed for nearly five hours straight. They loved it! Playing all together, co-op, or just alone. My only complaints? When they get busy, they can get BUSY; and sometimes you can't be sure if there might be a machine problem for co-op games or the occasional cabinet. Not their fault since it's hard to keep up. Great place to bring your family!

A good place for kids to relax, have fun, and hang around with other kids. There are a couples of sensory control/feedback arcade games, which are really good. Such as, Star Wars, Racing games and Zambie games.

Our favorite thing we did in Madison. Tons of games/pinball machines that are all well maintained. 15 dollars for all you can play games. We were there for about 3 hours playing pinball, arcades, and billiards. They also have very affordable snacks and treats. It was fairly empty for a Sat night, but we enjoyed having the place pretty much to our selves.

Fun had all the old games we grew up with and newer games for the price per person can't go wrong we spent 3 hours there had a blast

Great arcade with tons of pinball! 1 simple price for all day access is awesome! Very clean and well maintained

Awesome place to play unlimited arcade games. Reasonable entry fee and the concessions are really reasonable. Plenty of games to keep you entertained for hours. Me and my two kids had fun.

Best arcade I have been to in a long time. Separated rooms cut down on noise and organizes the games by genre. Unlimited free play with skeeball,pool and air hockey included. Tons of old games and some very modern ones. A great place for a bday party, kids 8+ because not many arcade games for the littles.

I was thankful to spend time with my kids in a genuine arcade without having to constantly resupply them with more money. The layout is well done with similar games grouped together. The games worked so well with the joysticks and buttons not sticking or having too much play. Whoever thought of this place is brilliant and appreciates the joy of arcades.

Soooooooooo much fun for kids old games that I used to play that I missed. Hours of fun it's the best

Tons of fun, huge space with tons of games. Great to come with friends family or on a date. Super great nerdy vibe. They do kids parties, have pool tables, and a huge variety of games :)

It was my first time visiting and I was pleasantly surprised by the variety of games that were available. It was also really cool that you pay for a wrist band and then all the games were "free" there's also vending machines for snacks and a small section for gift purchases. I will definitely come back again.

Cool place! Not what I expected in a good way. Just a heads up parking is in the back as well. Went inside and was kindly greeted. Only $15 for unlimited games!! All day long!!! They give you a wrist band and you're free to go! Got to play old school arcade games I havent played since late 90s early 2000s! Fun place I would come back here again for sure soon maybe even bring the squad out as well. Enjoyed the time and hospitality here. Couldnt even take enough pictures, theres rooms full of arcade games.

I like that they have free play/day passes now instead of having to pump quarters into the machines, and they have an awesome selection of pinball games. However, it can get pretty crowded here, and with free play you may have to wait a while for a machine to free up. There were also a number of machines that were out of order and skee ball wasn't working. Overall, it's a fun place to spend the day

Great deal to literally play all day! Pictures do not do justice to this place. I was expecting a small area with a few games but nope!! You literally have a ton of rooms to mess around playing what you want all for one LOW price. Leave come back the same day and it's no big deal! Bring cash for vending and claw machine along with money for photo booth if that's your thing.

Place is full of childhood memories, growing up on arcade games. They did not disappoint in selection. Pinball machines are super fun. YOU WONT KNOW WHERE TO BEGIN! DEFINITELY get your money's worth.

Best value around! Amazing selection of games, and a super fun arcade overall. Great place for pinball.

Pinball included in the entrance fee. More than just a ton of video games, pool and ski-ball as well!

GREAT arcade. Unusually large number of multiplayer racing games, an awesome ?wall projected? X-men beat em up, great pinball classics, friendly staff?loved it!

This place is truly a gem for anyone who enjoys arcade games. It's getting harder and harder to find decent machines and this place does a great job keeping things maintained. They also rotate cabinets regularly and have plenty in the pipeline. Their Facebook page will tell you when new stuff is ready to play.

Such a fun time! Can't beat the $15 per person price. A few machines were down, and some are a little funky, but it is still worth visiting!

Great arcade. A mix of classic arcade games like Pac Man, Galaga, Donkey Kong, and Tapper mixed with 90s beat em ups (Simpsons, TMNT, D&D), pinball games, pool, and skee ball. Don't miss the wall sized X-Men arcade game! The staff is friendly and it's easy to get the cover charge's worth of gaming in only a few hours. You can even leave for some food and then return. Highly recommend!

A favorite spot in town, with a great game selection and friendly atmosphere. The cover charge is honestly a steal, and well worth what you get out of it.

Really nice arcade. Lots of pinball machines, lots of racing games. Pretty decent selection of machines over a large facility. I had a great time. My only personal note is that I wish they had a few more of the classics along the lines of PacMan, Moon Patrol, Dig Dug, etc... but that's just a person item. I'm sure the games rotate in and out over time. I'll be back.

Super fun and really affordable! Great for hanging out with friends or date night. Also just fun to go!

$15 for all you can play is a really good deal. I enjoyed all of the pinball games, air hockey, the immersive Star Wars game, and skee ball. My husband loved the humongous X-men game and so many nostalgic machines. We went at 8 pm on a Friday night and stayed for 2 hours. Felt like we had the place to ourselves as there were very few people there.

It smelled like urine and mold. They make you leave your kid at the counter. You can't even walk your kid to the party room and leave without needing to pay. We went there for a birthday party, but based off the rude guy, and the child working at the counter that had to walk my child to the party room, we would never choose this place for a party. Seems kinda gross, creepy, and greedy that they won't allow parents to even make sure their kid is getting to where they need to go without paying when there's to

Love the selection of games and organizing of them. Bonus for having pool and air hockey. Only a small number of games down. Pricing is great and enjoyed it. Got to love how with some games they adjusted it. Such as the Xmen arcade game on a projector or some had monitors instead of original screens. Smarts.

Has a great selection of games and everything is free to play after the entry fee. There's even free skee-ball. Definitely the best arcade in Madison.

Awesome local place VERY family friendly. There is something for everyone and there is special pricing for families so it is is very affordable. Staff is friendly and fixed everything you bring to their attention. It is near by a lot of other places so you could go eat and come back your wristband is good ALL day. Great place to hang out or go on a date too would recommend!!!

Great value for all day play. The arcade has a great selection of games.

Anyone should enjoy the drinks here they don't mind if you bring food they sell monster energy drinks,wide variety of video gaming pinball machines pool tables

I could spend an entire day here playing old games and pinball. I love their system and couldn't believe how reasonably priced it is. The kids had fun, but I they got bored after 3 or 4 hours, which is still pretty good.

Oooo we lived it! Brought two young men right after they opened so we didnt hit it when it was super busy, and we had a blast! If you have special needs kids who love games & can stand louder music, definitely bring them by! My brand new teenager even made sure he had ALL the high scores on Centipede ?? My favorite are all the pinball machines!

I love Geeks Mania. They continue to add new games and expand their area in this location. I got hooked on the Star wars pod racing game this time around. We went as a team event and it was a great Friday afternoon activity

This place was great! A great price for lots of fun. My kids loved it. I realized my video game skills were not great and even Ms. PAC MAn was foggy in my brain.

Awesome selection of games and the building is clean and well maintained. To take my niece (14 yrs) and nephew (12 yrs) here for the night it only cost me $20! Geeks Mania Arcade is family friendly, affordable, and also fun for adults who want to relive childhood games.

Huge selection of games (mostly retro/vintage) that go throughout the building like a maze. There is a flat fee for all-day access, but there should be a specific wristband for someone just accompanying who is not playing games. Several games were out of order. There is no seating area other than random chairs by the pool tables. It's worth it if you plan to be there for 4+ hrs but not if you have littles who tire out or get bored quickly and need to chill for a bit before playing more.

Lots of games to choose from. Great place to hang out for a few hours or all day. Have been here several times and they always have some new games in. Will recommend to others. Best arcade in Madison!

This place rocks! Nostalgia bomb hit me hard though ?? This place has all the classics like Super Mario Bros, Donkey Kong, Space Invaders, Galaga, and 1942. It's so easy to loose yourself playing for hours. It's $15 dollars to enter and that's for the whole day. You can even leave and come back later. (They give you a wristband) If you wanna check out a classic arcade it's the place to go!

Geeks mania is a great place to go play retro arcade games. They also have pool tables and air hockey. We had a blast!

It's a great place to go every now and then. Many things stay the same but it's always been a bit different every time I've went. There is a wide variety of games. If pinball strikes your fancy, this is one of the best places to spent hours playing different pinball machines.

Really liked the western game. Sunset Riders. Really good value. $10 for hours.

If you park in the back and utilize the door facing the parking lot you follow a long and winding hallway inside the building up to the front counter. Once there you purchase an arm band for entry. All the games are set up on free play. It was wonderful seeing so many of the games that I played as a kid. Had a blast. Pictured is an old Atari Crystal Castle in mint condition which was my wife's favorite game back in the day. Admittedly she was way better at it than I am. Fun place, definitely recommend.

I love this place!! They have a wide range of games from every genre of arcade. They even customized the best arcade game ever made: X-Men!

So fun and worth it! Go back all day and 15 bucks is cheap! Spent only an hour in there but could easily spend all day. Been so long since I played pinball and air hockey!

Honestly love this place! It's 15 bucks and you can come as you go all day long! They even have a little snack center up at the front if you get hungry or thirsty and it's very very fairly priced! Reminds me of being in the 90s again. I love it! The people there are very friendly as well. I visit this place as often as I can.

Amazing arcade. It's just gotten better too. They added new games. Star Wars Battle Pods. You she to try those. The big X-Men one was down sadly.

Great place,Great prices 15$ for all u can play.Also, they sell snacks here for a fair reasonable price, and I will be returning with family and friends

All you can play video games. Lots of choices, lots of rooms. Almost all the games working. What's not to like?

I've come here with kids and teens and it's brilliant (as a very un-talented arcade gamer, I appreciate not having to put in more money every time I end up in "game over") but recently I rented one of the party rooms for a corporate team-building event. My boss was skeptical, but those who attended had so much fun that they're asking to do it again. The venue is the perfect size: large enough that there is plenty to do, but small enough that we were doing it together. It brought out everyone's cooperative a

I always take my nephew here for his bday. He's now 14yo and still has a great time. Geeks Mania doesn't just focus on arcade games, they also have an expansive collection of vintage and new (Stern) pinball rigs. My nephew's favorite things here are showing how he can beat me in 2 of 3 games of pool, air hockey, and skee ball. I make sure that he loses at least once, so I can reinforce the importance of being a good sport.

Took the whole family there for the first time. Had a pretty good time. Wish they had a little more for smaller kids to do, but was pretty happy overall. Will return in the future when we are in town again.

Took four 13 year old boys here to celebrate a birthday and they had tons of fun! We were there for about four hours and they had plenty of games to try and then play again and again. Front desk staff was very friendly and helpful. I'm planning to bring my friends here for a girl's night out!

All the nostalgia you can handle!!! The setting is awesome. Best arcade in years.

Awesome place! Went there with my brother and some friends and it was awesome! They had a ton of games. Pretty much any arcade game you could think of they have it! Played some old classics and found some new ones too (Def play paper boy if you go there, very fun game) Will definitely come back someday when I'm in the area again :D

Absolutely loved my time here! So beyond stoked to see all those vintage games still running. They have a ton of newer style games as well. Truly the highlight for me was D.D.R. and my boyfriend loves the old-school Mortal Kombat games! They have pool tables, air hokey, skee-ball, everything you could want! If they ever had to up the price, I'd still go. (If I could leave more than 5 stars I would, please keep this place open forever)

Nice staff, really cool collection of a huge variety of games! $15 is NOTHING for 'all-you-can-play'. Even if you go later on in the evening you will probably tire out before you get through everything you even want to play before they close. It's a good environment and a fun, family friendly, couple of hours to revisit some classics, try something new, and/or go head to head with an old or new friend!

Only been once so far, but had a good first impression. More working arcade games than most of the arcade places I've seen. A note for the sensory sensitive folks out there: Some rooms have high ambient noise and some have high pitch sounds. The pool room is a nice chill space. Air seemed fresh on the evening I was there.

We are so lucky to have this gem in Madison! They have such a great variety of games. The pinball machines are my favorite. Great for a date night, friends night, or kids night!

Seemed about 1/3 of the machines were out of order. Any other game I played had no sound or messed up screens.Last time we were there they had a good selection of pinball machines. They're down to 5 and 1 reset while I was playing. We've been there before a couple times, and recommend it to anyone that would listen. After this last experience it's unfortunately our last time. We found Nerd Haven was much more enjoyable and will be getting our business from now on.

Went for the first time and it was absolutely worth it. Had a great selection of games that range from classic games to newer games. The pinball machine selection was also amazing. I got there around 11am and didn't leave for home until almost 5pm. And as long as you keep your wristband on you can come and go all day.

Lots of broken games. Not much for kids here. Mine wanted to leave within about half an hour. If you're an adult who likes old games, it might be for you. If you're looking for a place to take your kids, most likely not.

We had a blast! Love the wrist band deal!!

This is a great place to spend a couple of hours with the kids or alone. They have so many machines and they are all different and fun. They have pinball (like 10 or so), dance machines, all the classics and and awesome Marvel room with a 6 player game that lasts forever and ia super fun if you go with a big group; they also have ice hockey and a billiard room. Once you pay the admission fee (about 10 dollars as of 2023), you can play all the games for the whole time you're there so you don't have to keep t

So my review is a bit late. I went over the summer and it's not November but this place is just......perfect. For the price you really can't beat it, and it's an all day pass so if you wanna leave to get something to eat then come back, cool, whatever. The selection of games was pretty top tier, they seemed to have some "newer' ones I've never played on. I'm 35 so when I saw some pinball machines from my childhood I about cried. It's clean, it's well maintained, unlike most arcades I've been to the shooti

Fun time! Went with a few friends and had a blast. Great selection of games. Fantastic choice to do all day pricing considering how many of the 80s and 90s games were designed to be quarter eaters. Really cool set ups in some of the rooms with projectors for Marvel games.

A good selection of quality pinball machines, and tons more!

Fun arcade. It's so much better than when I was a kid - pay like $15 and play as much as you want. There are a handful of pinball machines, skeeball, air hockey, and of course arcade games. Make sure you walk all around - there are multiple rooms, and some games are hidden around the corner in various rooms. There are usually a few games out of order, but it's not usually a big problem.

Inexpensive nostalgia trip that's fun fur the whole family

Lots of great arcade games for a decent admission price. Definitely would recommend, especially if you love pinball.

Had a great time with my 14 year old son. A really good value for the money. It cost $20 for my son and I for unlimited play. If you or your kids like pinball and/or classic arcade games, it makes for a fun afternoon or evening.

We love coming here and allowing my son to have a real arcade experience. The best thing about Geeks Mania is that unlike Dave and Busters, you pay for a wristband that allows you to play all of the games as many times as you like without having to worry about spending more money. You can go in the morning, get a wristband, play for a couple of hours, grab lunch at any of the many restaurants in the area, go back to Geeks Mania, and play until dinner. They also have many pinball machines, which are my p

Such an amazing place. Great selection of old school games as well as a few new ones, and a pinball machine room! All free for the entire day, you just have to pay to get in, and are given a wristband that allows you to come and go as you like. (If you want to leave to get a bite to eat, etc.). It's turned into a birthday tradition for my fiance and I to come here.
