Customer Reviews

So much fun! It is a "self serve" location, however Eric is just a phone call away and very helpful! Make sure you see the sign on the floor when you enter "You! Turn on games behind..." Once games are on it's good to go! :) We had a bit of trouble with some of the bottom vending machines but otherwise all good... oh and 2 games didn't respond after paying but still tons of fun with the pinball and air hockey! Long drive for us but we will definitely be back when in Twin. Great find! Thanks Eric! Wish we

Ever want to stop the world, and get off? Maybe take a step back in time? This. Is. The. Place. Erik runs a great establishment here. So much win.

Okay, THIS IS THE PLACE. THE place, for arcade/racing games. Self serve, a literal hole-in-the-wall slice of peace. This place is better than Pojos up in Boise, not even joking. Spent under $15 for two hours of fun, date/birthday/hang out place, I wish I got pictures, CHECK IT OUT :D

This is just what filer needed. A place for kids to come be kids and adults to come feel like a kid again. It is self serve meaning you have the power to turn on the games by section of use I really love how that is set up to save power!! Erik is a phone call away and quickly tends to the games and needs of the place. It's an old rustic time arcade taking you back in time. It's a great escape. Great fun!!

Very cool unique Arcade. I highly recommend you stop in if you're passing by.

Great place! Had so much cheap fun, definitely going back!! It is self service in a very cool old building.

Filer's downtown, including the outside of the arcade, looks a little "rundown". But don't let the looks scare you off. We had a fun time. Most of the games are racing games, but they did have Mortal Combat and a few others, as well as some Pinball, Foosball, and a pool table. You have to turn the games on yourself, and they take a couple of minutes to warm up, but we had fun playing the games that provided a great blast from the past.

What a gem. Once we figured out what the self serve experience is all about we had a blast. Games are older and may steal your money but we had the place to ourselves, the kids had a great time. Totally worth the drive from twin.

Expired food in the vending machine. Most games don't say the correct price. Bit I love being a al one when there and not dealing with others.

This arcade is very cool and a quick drive from Twin Falls. Great for a kids party.

Kids had so much fun. Thank you!

Had a great time with my friends. Undisturbed

Fun family games come check it out!!!!

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.”
