Such a cool place my kids love coming here even as they have gotten older. They still enjoy doing this mirror maze when we visit the shore. suitable for all ages I enjoy walking through with my kids. Very trippy
Sooooo much fun! My husband and I went, about 15 per person for the unlimited mirror maze, you can go through it as much as you want. It was amazingly fun! Would definitely do it again.
Our children, ages 6, 6, 11, and 13 had a blast in the mirror maze and accompanying games. They were treated very kindly and generously by the staff, especially Abbos, Kaitlyn, and Zhanel. They spent about 45 minutes racing and competing. A great activity for a cloudy beach day. Well worth the price!
The two ladies operating the location were very friendly and accommodating. We had a large party made up of 5 children (3y to 9yo) and 3 adults. Some of our kids got to play the space vault Lazer maze before it went down. While we waited for the game to come back on, the ladies let the kids play 2 games of the time trial game. Only took a few extra minutes for the Lazer maze to come back online. Our kids had an awesome time
Was fun but the maze was 60 bucks for 3 kids less than 9yrs and one adult. It took 3 minutes to complete. If it was more reasonable I would have had no issue. Way over priced.
Biggest rip-off on the boardwalk? Laser maze is $7 per kid for less than 1 minute in the maze.
While there was some initial sticker shock ($5.99 for the laser maze that my daughter did in under a minute), the pricing is actually in line with what you'd pay for a ride at either Wonderland or Castaway Cove. My 8 year-old had a great time in the lazer maze and, when I didn't understand the rules and cost her a good score during our two-player game, the staff was nice enough to offer her another turn by herself. That fact, alone, won me over and I'm sure we'll definitely be back at some point to try the
We had a terrible experience and I believe it was racially motivated. The gentleman at the counter was very friendly and engaging with the family in front of us and thoroughly explained all the options to them. I was trying to listen but with the boardwalk noise it was hard to hear. The gentle man seemed put upon when I ask a few questions and my son was standing at the turnstile (same as the child in the family in front of us) well the employee begins screaming at my child. I was so taken aback by
It was our first time.The guys at the front did not take any time to explain worse customer service ever. We paid $15 for 3 minutes. Will not recommend and will not come back.
The laser maze is an absolute rip-off. It takes about three minutes in a small room for roughly 7 USD per person.
It was 15$ and took 2 minutes to do, mirrors were dirty, which made it even easier and quicker to complete. Too overpriced, wildwood one is 10x better.
$6 USD for a tiny room, horrible experience
Watched my nephew run into the mirror maze excited and I'm about 5 seconds his head bounced off a mirror it was hilarious. 10/10
Very cute family friendly activity. Had a lot of fun trying to get out of the mirror maze.
This could be awesome, but is fairly simple and goes fast. Value?
Typical arcade with games from your childhood.
(Translated by Google) 5 seconds... it took me FIVE SECONDS!!! The biggest scam on the boardwalk! The staff looked at us as if we were complaining about nothing and gave us an extra ride for free!!! It's not worth it though, $7 US in total!!! For 10 seconds. It pissed me off a lot. I recommend going anywhere else on the waterfront. One star because 0 is not an option ?????? Ah and the people who have a problem with my head since the five stars. I hope they go out of business (Original) 5 secondi... ci ho m
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.”
