Customer Reviews

Had a great time at the arcade! Aaron was super friendly and helpful, making the experience even more fun. Highly recommend stopping by!

Good way to spend an hour or two with the little ones super friendly staff helped my boy win a stuffed animal. Cards that refill by the hour for unlimited games pretty cool

Great arcade for kids! Fun games and great prizes! The staff is nice too. We love coming here.

After buying 1 hour each for four people on Groupon, they were not able to give us cards and even after calling management the only solution was to ask the front desk when we wanted to play and they would tap their "personal card". For four people? Very unprofessional. Management on the phone sounded like she was in lala land. First and last time we will be coming here.

Great arcade. They are very good to children. Becky that was working was the best.

Wonderful arcade and great employees! We go around once a week and my 4 year old loves it. I like that this is a traditional arcade with tickets and coins not a card that you reload.

The kind woman working 10/4/24 deserves recognition. She made my two girls' day. Friendly and helpful. They had a blast

We love taking our kids here and have been doing so for years! The employees are very nice and helpful, great selection of games. I like that the tickets are digital now, but I'm not happy that the candy selection went down, and the "price" went up... the cheapest candy is like 35 tickets, what!!!! Also, please bring back the original Ski ball, not a fan of the digital.

Becky the owner is the nicest lady! She always talks to our kids and goes out of her way to make sure they are happy. Becky works hard and runs one of the best arcades we have been to. Our kids love this place and I hope it's around forever ????

Great indoor fun for kids (teen) and family! We've been going for several years and the staff have always been kind. Given there are not a lot of fun, indoor places for kids in Vero Beach, and especially teens, this is a great option for a couple hours of fun for the entire family.

Took our Granddaughters there twice while they were visiting and they had a blast. James was there both days and that guy is awesome with the customers and kids. He was very quick and punctual when a machine ran out of tickets and the ump-teen times I bought coins he was ready. Lived here for 5 years and this is the first and second time visiting this location and the wife had so much fun we will be back even after the kids go home. THANK YOU JAMES FOR MAKING OUR VISIT A MEMORABLE ONE. John from Vero

This is not the vintage arcade mentioned in previous reviews. It is a modern, price-driven arcade. It was fine. The staff were not the kind, attentive people mentioned. The man at the counter was tired and dismissive when our children asked him questions. I think it must have changed management.

My son, his friends, and I all have a BLAST every time we go!! We absolutely LOVE the King Kong VR ride along!! It actually feels like we are on a roller coaster ride!!

I love this place! My 4 and 10 year old love this place! You can play so many games for a small amount and get prizes every time. We found our new favorite spot for after school fun. Plus you can stop and get Asian food or pizza right outside too!

My kids really like to visit and the staff is very friendly and welcoming. Prices are good which is a plus

In not quite a throwback to the 1980's, my kids have to come to enjoy the GameTime located at the Indian River Mall in Vero Beach. Old fashion game tokens and "tickets" if you win, make sure you put a $20 bill into the token machine for "bonus" tokens. A quarter each, but 100 tokens for $20, your kids will have 25% more fun. Overall a clean place and friendly staff. Only "complaint" is the occasional broken machine - something you might not learn until after you put tokens into the machine. With three

Spending some time with the family on the 4th of July and decided to go to the arcade. Couple of workers here need to be told what proper customer service is by their boss. Half the machines are broken to include their change machines. My three kids had $20 to spend on the games. The machine that worked didn't take $20 bills so I told my oldest to go to the counter for coins. She told the worker I have a $20 bill and that machine over there doesn't take $20's. The worker gave her 4-$5 and she didn't get her

Hidden gem. Highly recommend. Great staff as well.

Very fun for the whole fam, friendly customer service, games were working, and easier to get tickets than other places. Kids actually got stuffies from the claw machine which never happens lol it is pricier than other places but I feel you get your money's worth. $20 for 4 people goes a long way.

Update 3/04/2022, it's been a minute since I went here, the place really has gotten cleaner and the staff is making it fun again. Nice to see the place back in good order. The arcade attendant was much nicer.

We have been coming here for years. It's a good way to get out of the heat and kill some time during summer break. The owner is also very nice.

Went for the first time today to play skeeball and pinball. Both skeeboards were out of order, and the owner advised that pinball machines are too expensive. We did enjoy air hockey. Great place for kids.

Kids had fun in arcade. Big selection of prizes available for kids to win w/ tickets earned from playing games. Wasn't overcrowded. Few tokens for each game which were (i believe) 20 for $5

This place is a big joke ???? I was playing the basketball game and I missed some and said ?oh shoot I missed? and the guy there yelled and said ?Hey, watch your mouth!? I guess saying that is such a bad word. Don't give them any money rude workers there ??

Rude employees. I just moved from Georgia wanted to take my kid to the arcade here in the mall and just was so rude to both of us! Going to a arcade where they treat their customers with respect.

I've always been a huge fan of arcade games and this place was awesome!! Clean, great games for everyone, and great prizes too!

So much fun for the entire family! Friendly staff! Right inside the food court in the Indian River Mall. Great prize selection!!!

This place is totally awesome my kids love it and the staff rocks.....

don't ever go there you only get 20 ticket for $5 60 seconds later you are out because all the gam are 4 coins!!!!!

Great pave to take the kids, but your not leaving with any pocket change

Our family has been going here for decades and love it!

Love this arcade. Great atmosphere and overall this arcade is great.

The staff seems to be from another planet,which one,has yet to be determined...

Goods place for kids and teens to spend your money.

Clean environment and great service

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.”
