Customer Reviews

We celebrated our son?s 6th birthday at iPlay Arcade in Montrose, and it was hands-down one of the best party experiences we've had. The entire event was private, so we had the whole place to ourselves?no crowds, just our guests having a blast. The staff was amazing and took care of everything from setup to clean-up, making the day completely stress-free for us. The kids had a blast with the wide variety of games, from claw machines and basketball hoops to racing games. They also set up a cool photo booth

From the moment I walked in, I was hit with that perfect blend of nostalgic arcade sounds and a vibrant, modern atmosphere. They've got an incredible selection of games, catering to everyone from retro enthusiasts to those looking for the latest and greatest.

Very clean place! And that's very rare for an arcade. Bathroom was also clean. It's on the smaller side but honestly I appreciate that. You can pay cash or card. There's a place with tables and chairs to sit also a vending machine. They also have a coffee machine with a great tasting cappuccino. The music was great ???? we live an hour away and would definitely come 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.”
