Customer Reviews

Cameron does a great job keeping this place going! The games are fun everytime, lazer tag is a blast and its clean. ??

Definitely a good place to take the kiddos for some fun. There is a party room you can rent and bring in food. He does sell drinks there as well. The games are fun and my kids always have a blast when they go. There is laser tag as well and it is decently priced. The owner is super friendly and nice!

This place is an interactive Time Capsule. It is full of retro games that will make any elder millennials heart happy. The best part is,we now have adult money to spend here!! I am so glad to have found this place and share my joy of arcade with the family.

This place is incredible and has so many games I've not seen in eons! It's very reasonably priced and used tokens and tickets which are redeemed for prizes. My girls had a blast and I can't wait to go back. It's so fun for all ages that even my 69 year old father had a blast!

Great air hockey table and a variety of games. Has a fun laser tag room for almost 20 people. But hands down the best place to play board games with a BUNCH of people, over 300 different games! Has a very nice owner who is incredibly knowledgeable. Thank you Cameron for always providing such a fun experience for our family and all the kids we bring.

Didn't do the laser tag, which is the only reason I gave it three stars and not lower. Most of the games don't work just didn't have a good time but I will say the guy that works There is super friendly and helpful. Unfortunately I will not be going again.

The arcade is rather average, and at the very least, only partially functional. More than half of the machines were either turned off or were simply out of order. The token machines - which you insert quarters and it exchanges them for tokens, which in this day and age doesn't really make any sense, only works sporadically and sometimes eat the quarters. No pun intended. Requiring you to have the front desk come in manually give you the tokens. If the machine should decide it doesn't want to do that. All i

Great arcade! My family has been enjoying this arcade for years! Owner/Operator is kind, caring and helpful. Level Up Arcade makes us feel like family, every time we visit. It's small, personable and clean. Level Up Arcade also supports the community! Thank you, Level Up Arcade, for providing Kerrville with an awesome family place!

Great place, my Granddaughter and I love it plus I was allowed to bring my little dog in her stroller. The owners are very friendly, been going here for years. Also a great place to have a birthday party they have a party room in the back

Great place for a kids birthday party as they have a room in the back that can be reserved. Affordable prices on laser tag and friendly staff.

We've had my son's birthday here and a few of his friends have had parties here. The staff is great, the games are fun, and the kids love the laser tag!

I gave two stars because the games don't cost a lot of tokens but half the games if not more are broke and don't score right. I'm surprised this has such a high rating.

Great people Great atmosphere and very kid friendly. Wish all the games worked but other then that it's a great place

Great to work with Cameron for our Laser Tag group. Fantastic prices and party room :) Student group and parents had a lot of fun!

An all time Kerrville classic. Just giving five stars because of the nostalgia. Place has seen better days.

Great place to waste some time! Been goi g since January and saving tickets, came out with a big haul for the neices! You can get 105 tokens for $20 and that will last you about an hour.

Was a rainy night and we stopped so our prospective adoptive son could play a few games. Owner was very nice and helpful!

This place is great! We just had a lazer tag game with 16 people and it was awesome! Highly recommend it. Also, the owners are great

My wife and I had a blast and the owner was very kind and helpful. Ill definitely been going back. Maybe with the kids this time. Maybe!

Cool retro arcade. They also have laser tag with unique different game modes. Stop by if you have the opportunity

This place is the best. Classic arcade with paper tickets. They just upgraded the laser runner equipment. If you want a good arcade experience with friendly staff go here you just cant beat it.

Showed up at 7:30 on a Friday night with the kids. A man walked out and locked the door. "Oh, you're closed?" "Yes." No explanation or apologies.

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.”
