Customer Reviews

Atmosphere is amazing! There are a few arcade cabinets that have multiple games loaded onto them, so there are more games than it may seem! There's also a room where you can rent out consoles to play, like the Nintendo Entertainment System, Nintendo Switch or PlayStation. Multiple tvs playing different movies and shows as well!

Really fun place for the whole family, and will be great for kids birthdays or other celebrations. One price gets you access to all the fun - arcade games, skeeball, pool, ping pong, a room with a giant project tv, a playroom for little kids, and more. The place is huge with room to roam and lots of things to do. My favorite is the arcade games set to free play so no quarters needed. This area needed a fun place like this.

My grandson and I have a dear friend that regularly gets us passes to go play and have fun together. Very friendly atmosphere and lots of video games to play. My favorite is air hockey. We love spending several hours on the weekend there.

Exceptional place to have fun with your kids! Great staff, fun environment with a lot of games and activities. I hope everyone supports this local business and keeps it going. Paxton needed a place like this and it should be celebrated.

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.”
