The owner of this place Chris is an incredible stand up nice guy, had an issue with a machine and he was able to rectify the situation promptly. Great selection of games and they have the best seagull plushes on the boards. Highly Recommended! Also if you have an issue with prizes not being grabbed by the cranes, just ask the staff, they are pleasant and more than happy to assist with adjusting the prizes, etc.
I was in wildwood a couple weeks ago and stopped here for some ice cream. Great price, $5 for a small sundae. It was very good and I would go back again.
This place was okay, I got a deal on Groupon. It was very, very cluttered though. Which made it overwhelming. It seems like they just keep adding stuff and hasn't removed anything since 1999
This is a classic! It's one of the most refreshing drinks especially on a hot day on the boardwalk. I enjoy the original Lime Ricky but there's other flavors as well such as Strawberry. It's not too sweet but it's the perfect combination of lime/soda/sugar. It's served with a cute umbrella too!
Visited this place this afternoon walking on the boardwalk for fun and stopped in when I saw some fun crane games! Being someone who never wins I was hopeful and actually got something! 1 dollar a play and great prizes! The owner was super nice and helpful and showed me to some other games he had that were equally as cool! This is a place I cant wait to come back to in the summer and play at!! Great Prizes, prices, and fun!!
What a rip off. Want to see a kid cry? Bring them here and let them play their claw games. Five times?FIVE TIMES my son had a stuffed toy in the claw and the second it moved it dropped. And when I complained the the attendant, he said ?I guess that's just how it is?. What a pathetic excuse for customer service. I will not only never waste my money here ever again, I will make sure to let everyone I know who comes to Wildwood to avoid this place at all costs. I wish I could give this place zero stars.
i loved this place such good games and amazing milkshakes!
The best milkshake and ice cream I've ever had. Just so happened to notice a video of me a few years ago on the screen too!
It is a nice place to have some arcade fun with the family. The staff is very helpful and we always have a great time.
Got a good deal on Groupon. Kids played games for 45 minutes had a good time. The attendant came and helped when any games had issues. With our Groupon they got a free stuffed animal, ice cream cone, and small fountain soda. The ice cream cone was huge and tasted delicious! Way bigger than my kids needed! The soda had GOOD ICE, almost like a snow cone. I ended up buying myself one because I like snow cone ice. It was really good. I'll probably be back this weekend for more ice.
This is hands-down the best arcade on the Wildwood Boardwalk. They take Apple pay and have game cards. No need to touch dirty money or use cash. The employees are very helpful. It's very clean with wipes and sanitizer throughout. As per the kids the best prizes too! Many winnings from the claw games unlike other places around. Delicious lime Rickeys too!!
Great place to spend some quality time as a family. I recommend buying the Groupon since you'll save more money that way. The snacks available were worth the price we paid for, especially compared to other places on the boardwalk. The only thing that made me subtract a star is that 50% of the games are either crane games or ones based on luck, both of which are designed to drain your money. Overall, we spent an hour using up two $15 game cards and had a good time.
These milkshakes are expensive but they're enough for a whole family. They're delicious and decadent
We used Groupon to get a deal on tickets and food. For nine dollars we got a funnel cake ($5), soft serve ice cream ($3), fountain soda ($2), and a bunch of games. Would definitely do it again. Man who helped us out was incredibly nice. Only thing is its a smaller arcade, but for a young kid it was perfect size. Was clean and funnel cake was delicious.
Great place for the family! The arcade is very fun, you feel like you get your money's worth. The staff is very nice and helpful. They serve ice cream and food. I really enjoyed going here. You will have a good time
Love taking the kids here play some games and grab funnel cake! Their soft serve is great too!
Hilariously fun boardwalk arcade. Staff is really friendly. Shout out to the kid with the side-shave who very enthusiastically ran the prize counter and made my girlfriend and myself laugh every time we passed by.
I mean this place is great my family got a bunch of big stuffed animals and I just won $150 from stacker yesterday(It was a legitimate $150 Visa card, no scam) I got a VR headset for tickets 2 years ago. Have never had a problem with a staff member before, and most are very friendly. Haven't ever tried the food though.
Groupon deal rocks! $22 game card, soda, soft-serve cone, and mystery stuffed animal for $15! Lots of games and friendly faces!
My kids love coming here. Every year for the last 6 years. Very fair games and very kid friendly. Great deals! 2023 update: avoid the funnel cake
Fun clean arcade, several sanitizer / wipes stations. Went during fri afternoon so it was pretty empty but good for us with lil kids. Definitely a great deal with the groupon purchase that comes with game card, a soda and soft serve per person. Def will come again, younger worker there was very nice.
A favorite family spot. Amazing staff, great deals, fun games and never a shortage of good prizes. Some of the greatest milkshakes I have ever seen. You have to check them out!
We went to Wildwood for 5 days during the summer and happen to visit Lime Ricky World on the first night we were there and ended up going back almost every night! The staff was so friendly and the kids had so much fun playing the games and winning prizes. It was the best deal on the boardwalk ????
We had a great time at Lime Ricky World! We stopped here because we purchased a Groupon package. The package included ice ball (skeeball), basketball and a bunch of food coupons. Having 4 coupons for ice ball but only being able to play one at a time was a little frustrating. We had to tell the attendant (behind the counter) each time and more or less stand by the lanes so no one got on them so we could play again. If this was the standard method I wouldn't come back. This is just a heads up for those that
The ONLY place on the boardwalk that we can safely get funnel cakes from due to peanut allergy! We went really late on the night of 7/25. Employee was very knowledgeable of ingredients.
Love love love Lime Ricky World! We had a fantastic time there. Thanks to JOHN, ANDREW AND TYLER! They made our visits most enjoyable! Staff is very friendly, courteous and most of all friendly. Keep this saying alive. JACKPOT! ! ! !
The freshly squeezed lemonade tastes amazing and is fresh. The ice cream has a great taste and is cheap and is a big portion. They also have chipsticks with a wide viarity of flavorings and seasonings. If there was an option to give it 6 stats I would.
This is usually my favorite arcade. I'm a claw machine lover and this arcade typically has the best ones and I find myself leaving with an armful of prizes. This time around, the machines were impossible and the mask order wasn't being enforced either.
Older workers during the day seem very miserable, unfriendly, and not customer oriented. Better younger workers during the evening and decent snack bar. Arcade is lackluster compared to Mariner's.
Prize selection gone down hill, lots of machines not working, wizard of Oz, etc. Now they want u to buy cards and swipe instead of cash in the machines!! Will be our last time there, plenty of other arcades on the boardwalk
This is a great arcade. They have awesome games. It's always clean. Everything is in great condition. And it's rarely crowded.
This was the arcade I spent the most time in while I was in Wildwood! I won a lot of cool prizes and a $25 gift card out of the one coin pusher! Staff was friendly!
Lime Ricky World is the Best in Wildwood! The staff is top notch. The games and prizes are always the newest around! The food is great and always served with a smile! So to sum it up Love Love Love this place!
The best soft serve on the boards. Great games at the arcade, great food and nice prices. I will go there first for ice cream and arcades.
Incredibly friendly and helpful owner. Fun games and great prizes!!! ????
Very clean, friendly, and always very helpful. Did amazing job on keeping up with the games. Had drawings for prizes no cost.
I love place one the ice cream is best priced on boardwalk 2nd the lime Ricky drink is refreshing i remember 1st time i purchased one with my children i highly recommend this on a hot day it will quench your thirst
Great arcade with good and inexpensive soft serve
$50 rip off, got nothing from the claw machines. Other arcades around have better odds.
one of the few places where you actually win prizes at the crane machines!
My kids had a blast! We will be back. The employees here made the experience memorable!
Great arcade, friendly folks and nice prizes, plus ice cream and other goodies.
Fantastic prizes, I was able to win three cranes !!!!
A great place for a refreshing stop on the boardwalk. Lime Ricky's, ice cream, snacks and an arcade! What more do you need?
It's a family tradition to end the night playing games at Lime Ricky's. They never disappoint. Love that place!
This arcade wasn't too bad. 4 stars is the best of all time.
If you've never had a Lime Ricky you absolutely must. Add it to your bucket list. It's stupid simple, but just right!
Arcade games here are overpriced and for most of the games, you have to use a playpass type card instead of money
Nice arcade, not the best, but still fun for the kids.
The best root beer floats on the boardwalk!
Delicious drinks and ice cream and a tasty chipstix
Best ice cream on the boards, fantastic arcade, great owners, and wonderful employees
Truly the best arcade on the boardwalk and the snacks and drinks are of the hook...
Kids had a great time. Variety of games to play
Very nice place for all arcade players. Good luck!!

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.”
