Great, homey arcade. Owner and staff are jovial, friendly, and helpful, decent selection of arcade games and a nearly complete selection of consoles. They have drinks, vending machines, and of course the cereal bar.
Always a great time hanging at the mansion! The cereal selection process is so hard because there are that many great options. They do give samples ?? lots of gaming options for varying ages.
In a world full of silly cash grabs it's hard to find a reasonably priced entertainment. I think the owner understands that. This place is incredible. It's a mix of memorabilia and video games. It feels more like hanging out in your best friend?s dream bedroom, than a ?typical? arcade. Then add to this, an awesome assortment of crazy cereals, and your blasted back to a Saturday morning in the 90s all over again! If you're like me and miss the old arcade games, you'll be able to easily scratch that itch he
This place is amazing! If you're in Wichita Falls, Texas, it's a must. All the old school video games in the variety of serial with milk and whip cream! The owner was spectacular such an amazing person. I noticed a hat that I I wanted it for a very long time. I asked him about the hat and he replied with do you want it here or take it!
Awesome place with lots to see and play. Lots of old classical arcade games... Was too busy chasing me little ones around to be able to play much ?? Second visit a couple years later. Amazed at how many machines are in there. The pay one price makes it a much better deal than the usual arcades. It was a little warm in the building, but a lot of buildings are having trouble keeping cool when it gets over 100.
This place was outstanding!! We found this hidden gem by searching entertainment in Wichita Falls, TX!!! We live less than an hour away but decided to take a mini getaway for spring break! This was the highlight of our trip! The owner was super nice and so excited it was our first time being there! I never got the woman?s name that was working, but she was just as nice when we went for our round of cereal at the cereal bar!! The cereal bar was AMAZING! The games were AMAZING! We all had a blast! We went t
This place is a wonderful mix between old and new school nerds. What a delight it was to be able to play Sega/Nintendo/DDR while the kiddos played VR, Xbox 1, switch, etc. I was so happy being able to share my childhood with my kiddos while also trying to figure out their games. The owners of the shop are friendly, kind, and you can tell they have a real passion for what they do. The kids loved the cereal, it runs $8.50 for cereal and all play- which is a heck of a deal considering we stayed for 3+ hours. I
I had so much fun here! Definitely going back soon! Great games for a great price, add on the cereal and this place is magical. Really makes you feel like you're back in time. The staff were very nice and friendly as well. We got the Waffle Crisp cereal! I recommend it!
ABSOLUTE THE BEST!!! First time to visit and honestly a 5 star rating doesn't do justice. Tons of retro video games, pinball and console units. Combining a very unique cereal bar with these games sends you back to being a kid. Will certainly be back and will bring more friends too!
Love this joint and the family that owns it! Endless fun for kids & adults, tons of classic video games to play and I love the cereal bar idea too!
Cool place that brings a lot of nostalgia and fun for everyone. The owner was super energetic and made my kiddos laugh. 10/10 will be back.
I definitely recommend this place for parties or just to have fun. I had my son 18th birthday Feb 22 they had a blast. The owner is super nice.
The BEST date night ever! Two 40-something doctors spent hours in here lol. Had cereal bar for dessert! Highly recommended. $8 for all-you-can-play!
Come check this place out if you are in Wichita Falls over the weekend. They have a good deal going on for free play from open to close. We enjoy coming here to spend family time doing what we love.
Best Birthday Party in Years!!!! Thank you guys for making it AMAZING for my daughter and her friends!!!
Maniac's Mansion is a superb area for large parties and events with plenty of activities for the old and young at heart with throwback games and board games for all to enjoy. Service was quite friendly.
We had the best of times here The staff were awesome The games are just lots of fun ??WOW
Really fun place to hang out! They even have noise reduction headphones to use if you have noise sensitivities, which is really cool because it is very loud in there.
A MUST STOP if you're in this area. The owner operator is local and deserves all the love and support. Great environment for kids and adults, party space available, cereal bar, import snacks, nerdy stuff and arcade games galore. Wildly affordable. Can't wait to go back.
Excellent place if you're an 80s-90s kid and love video games This is up your alley The price on Wed was only 5 dollars for 4 hours of play They have a cereal bar if you get hungry while playing Other snacks to buy too Hours of video fun Like the 80s Terminator game says I'll be back
This place is a whole vibe. Super fun and has little stations set up through out for sanitizing yourself and the equipment. If you're in the area, definitely check it out.
Words can't describe this place, it feels like you've been transported into another universe. Fantastic atmosphere, super friendly staff, and VERY affordable in comparison to the competition!
I love love love this place. Great place to enjoy with your friends and family. The owner is welcoming and great guy. Everyone was great.
The prices were really good and they have a military discount. The game selection was nice and it was clean. The smell was weird when we went though, like someone had left wet clothes in the washing machine too long. I would go again, but the smell was weird.
A lot of fun! Classic arcade games, pinball, and game consoles free to play with the purchase of a wristband. A family-friendly atmosphere, if a bit loud and chaotic. We didn't try the cereal, but it was a collection of game-themed and related cereals. All on all, a good stop.
Very reasonable priced just a neat place to take your kids ... Adults will love it too ! The owner is helpful and extremely nice . Definitely 5 stars !
Awesome pinball machines and choices in arcade games. The collectibles all around were unique and impressive!
A great place to play some old school video games or host a birthday party.
It's an ok place. Some of the arcades could use a face-lift. Overall, a good place to check out for the experience
We came from Dallas to experience all the awe and wonder. Awesome experience, and can't wait to come back. Great selection of arcade games, and his collectables are so fun to reminisce on. Cereal selections take the arcade to the next level. Very friendly staff. Adults and teenagers had a blast and easily could have spent the whole day there.
Amazing atmosphere, so many choices for games (new and old), clean, friendly staff and owner, awesome cereal selection (never thought I'd say that haha), chill environment, separate area for those just wanting to talk, obviously a work of passion, and extremely great price! I honestly could not recommend this place more. One thing about this place as well is it isn't trying to make you spend a ton of money, you buy one cheap flat rate pass and you have access to all the games with no extra charge! I honestl
We held our Cub Scout Pack?s annual Christmas party there again last night and it was amazing as usual. Marcus is FANTASTIC and easy to work with. He made sure our kiddos, and parents, had a blast! My kid is already asking me when we will be back. If you've never been, you're missing out. Could not recommend enough - 5 stars doesn't do this place justice.
This is the place for retro arcade games. Amazing price (unlimited play for a flat entry price & $1 bowl of cereal), cool atmosphere, and such personable/friendly staff! My daughter and I love this place.
Amazing staff, the experience was easily 10/10! Great game selection, pinball, and a CEREAL BAR?! Definitely DO NOT MISS A CHANCE to visit!
Went for a birthday party. Stayed for the fun. Great atmosphere! Had an amazing time playing old school video games. The owners had great energy and did everything toake sure the guest were having a good time. Lots of unique items for purchase. Loved seeing all of the vintage decor. I can't say enough amazing this about Maniac's Mansion.
Took our child there for his birthday party. Super friendly fast service and attentiveness. Nostalgia galore with games I haven't seen since I was a child. Large enough venue to hold at least 15 children and 15 adults and had plenty of room to freely move about. The cereal bar was a really cool thing too with some stuff I haven't seen at the grocery store before. Affordable price for private parties with an atmosphere for all ages. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for something fun to do in town
Love this place!! My kids had so much fun. The cereal is such a great idea, and all the add ins are amazing
A really fun family place! So much to do. From the retro arcade games, to the pinball and the console games. Also, they have a variety of boardgames and books like where's Waldo. The 3-D wall is really cool and it's really fun to have your favorite cereal mixed up with your other favorites. Marcus and the rest of the staff are really great. I appreciate their speedy and kind service.
Adored this place! So fun! So many old games from when we were young, and then numerous newer ones that are kids were excited to see. Loved the atmosphere and could see it as a wonderful hangout for all types of people. The owners were so friendly and answered many questions. Loved the fact there were also board games which my teens wanted to play as well. Great place for parties. Even a little reading nook library. The cereal bar idea is new to me and so clever. We were all sad when we had to leave. Thanks
Absolutely LOVE this place!! Our first time going on a date night. I t?s safe to say we will definitely be back! So many great games, great vibe, awesome staff! The snacks and cereal bar had such a great variety of exotic snacks too! Highly recommend this spot for anyone ages 6-96!!
This was a good place for me to take my great grandsons to spend a little time. They really enjoyed the games. So did I. Fun playing pinball and some older games too. Not sure little ones could play but those teenagers had a good time. Not expensive either.
This place is awesome! So many great games and the whole family had a great time. Highly recommend for a great family outing, especially if you want to relive your own childhood along with your kids. Even my dad had a wonderful time playing Tetris!
This place is amazing. Its atmosphere is great and Marcus is fabulous. The cereal selections are good and the music and games are family friendly. This place deserves more than 5 stars!
Definitely would go here all the time! Live the atmosphere, love the owner and love this place in general. It's so awesome and a good family place or a chill out spot. They have a big variety of cereal and even have different types of milk. I always go when I can on Wednesdays, it's slower and cheaper and the games are free besides the pinballs.
Really neat arcade in an excellent downtown location. Maniac?s Mansion (TAG?s) has some awesome games and delicious cereal selections. We loved the console selections and playing Duck Hunt. Our only complaints are that a few of the games like "Time Crisis" did not work and was out of order. We also think that the pinball games were a little pricy and should be included in the cover charge. Overall we had a fun time and had some tasty cereal.
I'm a 40 year old man. My wife and I had more fun there then our twelve kids did. The staff was great and very friendly. Recommend anyone to try. Definitely going back. It was blast from the past, and very affordable for the time we spent there.
Full disclosure, Marcus and I went to high school together (big red band from coyote land!) so I am a little bias! That being said, he has put together and very unique and cool place! My kids ages 10, 9 and 4 all had a blast! My wife and I were like little kids playing the games. We spent three hours there and the game play only cost us $32.00. (he didn't charge for the little one) Even if was the full $40.00 it was totally worth it. We didn't eat cereal as it was dinner time but that is such a neat thing t
Awesome place. Has a great atmosphere that's family friendly but you're definitely not out of place to go there and enjoy the place as an adult. The layout is well thought-out and the space is well utilized. For example, the DDR machine is in a location where you can clearly hear the game music over the house music (great music taste by the owner, by the way) and there are fans pointed at the player. The owner is clearly thinking about making the best experience possible for customers. Definitely recommend,
Such a unique and fun place; We ended up at Maniac?s Mansion tonight when another ?kids entertainment venue? in town dropped the ball and was closed, despite allowing us to make (and pay) for reservations for today. It's my nephews 8th birthday and he had A BLAST. When we asked him after we left if he enjoyed it, and he asked if we could go back again tomorrow - a rave review for an 8 year old! I would 100% recommend this place. The man (who I assume) was the owner was fantastic, accommodating and extrem
Our family stumbled upon Maniac Mansion today while in Wichita Falls and we fell in love!! We have two young kids [ages 7 & 8] and Tag made sure they had a blast from the moment we walked in the door. We had just as much fun, if not more, than the kids! We loved everything about it...so many arcade games, nostalgic decor, board games, and a very "at home" comfortable environment, not to mention a SWEET cereal bar!! We will be forever customers. Tag was so cool, and kind, awesome prices, I could go on and on
Spent the whole day there open to close! Loved playing the old school cabinets, got a few high scores, but they also have modern console you can play! Well worth the money and they even let you have samples of the cereals before you decide what bowl to get. TAG was awesome and you can tell he loves the place! Must visit!
If you want the perfect blend of modern games and retro nostalgia, this is the place to go. And if you're craving ice cold milk and cereal they have their very own cereal bar. I unfortunately didn't get to try the cereal having filled up on pizza ??. I will be coming back but next time I'm hitting up the cereal bar.
Great place to chill with the kids and family. I love the 3D pong, kids loved the console games. We all enjoyed the cereal. Great service from the owner/operator he was walking around cleaning and asking if anyone needed anything the whole time. The environment was a little warm(not uncomfortable) but there were plenty of fans.
So impressed!!! I can't say enough good things about this place or the staff. We were at the art walk and the owner let my family try the games and check out all the cool stuff. Wichita falls is blessed to have business owners like this guy!!! Big personalities, clean store old games and fun fun fun!!! Keep up the good work guys. Can't wait for more!!
Such a great place to have a kids birthday party. We had a blast. Fun for ALL ages.
Great experience! Lots of fun. The price was unbeatable; the cereal was tasty. I recommend it and will definitely be back! Marcus was very attentive and said they do special parties, so I look forward to that.
Excellent experience! Will definitely return. The owner is extremely friendly and helpful. Tons of great games at a very reasonable price. The cereal bar is a cute and unique touch.
ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! The guy there was so nice and fun. Had an absolute blast!!!
This place is perfect for tweens and teens. They have several options available for things to do. It's not just arcade games. The cereal bar is a nice touch. My daughter and nephew really enjoyed coming here. We will definitely be back again.
The only thing I'm sad about is that I didn't find this place sooner. The owner is the nicest, happiest, most proud business owner I've ever met. Idek the man like that, but feel honored to have met such a great human. There's plenty of games, plenty of snacks and so much nostalgia. Great for families, made for 80s and 90s babies.
Came down to Wichita Falls to visit my brother and ended up coming here as one of our stops. Great atmosphere, large variety of arcade cabinets and a mix of more modern games too! Great price for all day play. Would definitely stop by again!
Marcus is a great entertainer and tags never disappoints
This place is awesome. It reallly took me back to my childhood playing all the games. The cereal bar was everything. Who doesnt love cereal and games. It was so much fun! If you live in Wichita Falls or if you are new to the area you have to go and visit this spot. The owner Mr. Mcgee was very courteous and respectful to everyone.
I've been several times. Normally, you pay to get in, then all the games are free to play. This last time, I went for a birthday party my kids were attending. The family hosting had already paid, so I just got to walk in and play. We had a great time. Every major video game and arcade franchise since the 1980's is here and in excellent working condition. They've got classic beat-em-ups like golden ax or TMNT. There's plenty of fighting games, like street fighter vs capcom. There's dexterity games l
A blast from the past. I spent hours playing the best video games from my childhood. I highly recommend Maniac's Mansion to the young and old.
This is an absolute GEM of a place. Fun, geeky decor from all flavors and fandoms, amazing arcade games, a really awesome collection of board games, the wildest variety of cereal you've ever seen in your life.... Marcus has it all. Also the only place I've seen guitar hero in a long, long time.... oh man that brought me way back. This place is family friendly, and that's the best part about it- there is actually something for every part of the whole family. Run, don't walk, to this amazing hang ou
Old School Arcade $8 play as much as you like. Owner is Actually Involved due to its his passion. My kids 14 & 17 always want to go and I take them cause I can beat them at all.but the dancing game
Most amazing experience here for birthday party!! The owner was so nice and the atmosphere was perfect. The kids had a blast playing all the arcade games.
This is the perfect family fun adventure. Marcus, thank you for creating a place where I can beat my kids without putting a hand on them, and make them reconsider how lame they think I am. Especially on that DDR. ?? Oh and pro tip, challenge and beat Marcus(the owner) at any game, and your next admission is free! Should check it out. Eat some cereal, try some seaweed, and unique sodas, and make beautiful memories.
It was an amazing time. The customer service, games, and overall nostalgia is awesome. Their cereal bar is great and the price is great. Definite recommendation for the whole family.
We had the best time! So many choices of games and cereal! The owner was so friendly!
We love going to Maniac?s Mansion as a family. Our son always has so much fun & Marcus is amazing. This is a wonderful place to take the family or just spend some time solo and hang out downtown. From old school to new consoles, Marcus has everything!
Loved this place!! We found it accidentally while passing thru a few months ago and was so disappointed to find it closed. My kids were so excited to find that we caught them open on our way thru town. Lots of old school games, some new ones and he even had an awesome pinball machine as well. My youngest son loved the electronic Pong game while my husband gave my oldest a lesson on pinball. Great atmosphere! Looking forward to stopping on our next trip thru town.
My family and I loved this place. Cereal was awesome. Staff was super friendly. Marcus, the owner, answered every question we had. 10/10 would go again. We will probably be throwing our sons birthday party here. Thank you Maniac's Mansion.
FUNTASTIC PLACE! This place is great. We were strolling by with the boys and the owner let us try some games out for free. He and the other employees were extra friendly and welcoming. Super nice machines, lots of variety and amazing atmosphere. Can't wait to go back and try out the cereal bar.
Very amazing & family friendly place. Great hangout spot, great staff. Marcus operates a fantastic arcade! Always a pleasure to come hang out, play some games and enjoy a bowl of cereal!
Amazing place for kids of all ages! Adults step into the time capsule! We love this place ?
Awesome!!!! Highly recommended!! I'm not even an arcade fan , however had a birthday party here and the owner made everything so PERFECT! Its definitely my favorite place we have been to thus far !!
pretty cool experience and a lot of games to enjoy. the ddr cabinet i went here for wasnt in the best condition at the moment (the up arrow on p2s side doesnt work, the dancepad on p1s side is becoming separated and sliding around). other than this for me i had a great time. i wish kids would take better care of the games however great staff and great games overall !
Great place to check out. Birthday parties are great there too. Cereal bar is fantastic. Great selection of pinball machines in great shape. The guy behind the counter is so awesome serving people cereal. Superb
this place is so freaking sick, they have really cool and authentic games. fans at every game station, a killer cereal bar, and nice lounge area. you never feel out of place, because everyone is chillin playing games. the owner is so dope. 10/10 would recommend.
I have had my sons birthday party here for the last 3 years. Absolutely fantastic! The owner is so kind. Everyone always has an amazing time. 100% recommend
Took my brother and my daughter here for a night of fun. WE WILL BE BACK!!!! The staff is amazing and the atmosphere is joyful and brings back so many amazing memories for me watching them play games I did growing up.
Had a lot of fun here with my best friend during a christmas party that was being held here. The owner is super awesome guy that a lot of wf people should know and it's awesome to see his dream come true. The decorations and memorabilia is super great especially for nerds like me. Atmosphere is fun and open, doesnt feel crowded like the Deep End. Anyways, if you havent been here yet, I highly recommend.
I am there often and love playing all the old school pinball and arcade games. It is very family friendly and great environment. 4 generations of my family have all played together at the games.
Amazing, fun, and safe environment. Have a lot of fun everytime I go, and my friends can all say the same thing! Owner is a really nice dude! I'll definitely be going many more times
Owners are such sweet, down to earth people. The atmosphere is so retro, comfy, cozy. Excellent prices. Great games. Awesome cereal!!!!
It's a great hang out spot for me and my friends! it is very affordable and a very warm atmosphere. The employees are very inviting.
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.”
