By far the worst arcade I've been too.. the claw machines on all of them, the arm only goes half way down? when u win tickets they are supposedly electronic and deposited onto your a game card, we won about 500 tickets but when we went to claim them, it showed that we had zero tickets.. Do not waste your money here.. this needs to be closed down.
It mostly just has kid stuff, but the Pac-Man Pixel Bash has 31 classic games in it. I'm even gonna buy one myself because it's an excellent collection. The only other thing I could see adults enjoying is the air hockey table. It is a lot of more modern stuff that we have no nostalgia for.
Texted the number they have on the wall to let them know one of their machines ate my money. I got a text simply saying thanks. Nothing on how they can make it better or return my money. The money is nothing I would have said no problem but the fact that their was zero interest in making it better, let's me know what kind of people own this arcade.
Its a nice place. Though there are not that many arcade games, one can still have a fun time. My sister and I really enjoyed that there are various multiplayer games.
These are all riged for u to lose they just want your money no winners here sad to say
This is mid, pls get a DDR machine !!!!
I thought it was bigger and ticket prizes sucked
Played galliga while the wife and daughter shopped. Good times, good times.
Great, little expensive but ok.
Could always be better
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.”
