Customer Reviews

Had a Birthday Party for my autistic son. Very clean very fun place for kids and adults. We even talked about renting it for adult night too. Everyone had something to do of all ages. Wheelchairs get around easy too. One of the places Mena has had in a long time for family or friend fun! Call in advance too book I'd say 2 hours not long enough, everyone has to much fun!

Visited here for a birthday party. Clean, nice atmosphere. Small and packed with entertainment but not cluttered. A few video games, arcade games, basketball hoops, air hockey, Foosball, playhouse, and RV cars. Plus, free popcorn with toppings! The owner is very kind and attentive! Stop on in for some fun.

This is a very nice place to enjoy some family fun and easy on the wallet too. Kids under 5 play for free!!! Also they have free popcorn and popcorn flavorings. The atmosphere is so inviting and the man is easy going and comes out to help about certain game set ups he has going on. Lots and lots of different things to do.

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.”
