Rapid Fire Arcade

We booked the 2 hour birthday package for my son's 10th birthday, him and his friends had so much fun! Although they aren't old enough to know too much about the old school games they loved it! Reasonable prices, the games all worked great, and if they didn't, they helped and attended to you fast! Only reason for the 4 stars is because when we initially came in to check out the place and put our deposit down the little party area they showed us, wasn't there when we went in for our party date. The arcade wa

Fantastic new location ! Great variety of games, can't beat the price for a private rental for a birthday party. Owners answer Emails quickly to answer questions and get it booked. Also very cool and polite. We were very impressed and had a fantastic time ! Thank you for making my sons birthday one that he will never forget !

Not only is Rapid Fire a great value for family fun and entertainment, it's also a great place to host a party or event. We had our daughter?s 10th birthday and Gary, the owner, did everything he could to make it a fun, easy experience. We will definitely be back, whether for a party or a fun activity that appeals to almost all ages!

Attended a birthday party here. This is a great place. The owner is very nice. It turns out I am not any better at pinball that I used to be. You won't regret going here.

We scheduled a grad party here and it was a great success. Such a fun little place and had time to set up early and being able to bring our own food and drinks/decorations was a plus too. Definitely recommend if you like arcade games. Unlike some of the bigger places ALL the games were functional and they have the original Tapper! Really enjoyed it.

The old school games were so much fun! Had a blast playing with my kids. The owner so very friendly and welcoming. Price is very reasonable for lots of game play.

This is the place Northern Independence has needed for a long time! It's a phenomenal, locally-owned family business that provides a safe, fun environment for kids (and adults) to have a great time together playing epic retro video games. You pay one price for the whole day, and you can even leave and come back later on the same admission. It's only $10 for unlimited play ($8 for kids), or just $7 for an unlimited hour if you don't have the whole day to play. The arcade is stocked with retro games, and ther

Small, well kept family friendly environment. Had a lot of fun. All the machines were in good repair and functioning properly!

We had an absolutely amazing time having my son?s 10th birthday party here! Gary and his staff really care about your experience and they go above and beyond to make sure it was a good one. HIGHLY recommend Rapid Fire if you are looking for a decent price party place that is WELL WORTH the price! Everyone had a great time and we will definitely be back! :) Thank you Gary for all your help, and for opening such an awesome arcade!!

We had an awesome experience at Rapid Fire for our son?s birthday party today, the staff was great and we really enjoyed our time. The arcade really has everything, from classic arcade games to air hockey, including a small room with old school consoles to play and a snack and drink bar! The kids and adults all had a great time, and we will definitely be back. Big thanks to Gary and his staff! 10/10 would recommend

Great place for a party. Rented out the location for my son?s birthday party. They were so easy to work with. The place was clean. All the games worked. Everything was set up and ready to go when we got there. I'd give a 10 if it was an option. We had a great time and we'll definitely be going back.

Best old school arcade in the area hands down! Fun family hangout and nice selection of games! Kids love the snack bar too! We'll be back!

Absolutely the best arcade in the area! Great nostalgia, friendly people, and a fantastic atmosphere. If you love the old school arcade feel, and all the best games from the past definitely check this place out! 10/10

Had my boyfriend?s 30th birthday here, and it was great! They were so accommodating and easy to communicate with. I highly recommend booking this place for your next event, especially if you're an arcade fan, as you can have the whole arcade to your group for a pretty affordable price. Our group, ranging from the ages of 3-70s, told me afterwards how much fun they had. Again, I totally recommend!

I took my Girl Scout troop of 4th and 5th grade girls to Rapid Fire to earn a badge about playing in the past. They had an absolute blast and are still asking when we're going to go back!! Staff is amazing and the game selection is so awesome. My girls especially enjoyed the pinball and the room with SNES and Sega consoles. Highly recommend this place for a fun time with the kids. The 2 hours flew by.

We recently went to Rapid Fire for a family night - my boys love video games! The nostalgic of the place was amazing, brought back so many memories of being a kid at the arcade. As we were leaving my son asked to have his birthday party there. So we did! It was great to be able to rent the space out for just our family and friends and enjoy all the games to ourselves. If you're looking for a fun low key outing this is a must do!

Gary was awesome! The kids had so much fun! The ages ranged from 2-9 years old and it was plenty of space for my whole crew!

We recently held a private birthday party here?.worth every penny! Everyone had a great time. Great selection of games. Would highly recommend and we will definitely be back!

Small space to play vintage arcade games, air hockey and skee ball! The place was dark, but had chips and soda if yiu wanted a snack. The best part is you can come and go all day until close!

A really fun place! Great games and they all work which is rare. A good place to spend a few hours with kids. Will be back!

Glad to have more places around that are family friendly. Had kids party here and was awesome letting kids run around for couple hours with unlimited plays. Definitely be back to get to get on the record list

Was visiting from the Omaha, Nebraska area and found this delightful gem! Great environment, awesome selection of games and friendly owner! Will definitely be visiting again the next time I'm in the area!

We opted to have our son's birthday at Rapid Fire recently and were very impressed! Family-friendly arcade with incredible customer service. We plan to recommend it for years to come.

I heard this place was fun. What I heard didn't do it justice. It was exactly the same feeling I had as a kid walking into an arcade. Tons of awesome games, soda and candy, and super friendly staff. Extremely reasonably priced, I will be coming back for sure. I had so much fun with so many good games like Digdug, Galaga, Golden Tee, Mortal Kombat, Area 51, and the multiple pinball machines they have. This is my favorite arcade I've been to in kc.

Really great arcade. The owners are welcoming and kind. I love that it is family friendly! Candy, snacks, soda, and chips for food items, and even some toys and collectibles for sale at the front desk. Lots of great old school games. We can't wait until they expand.

Me and my boys have been here and had a great time! Super friendly owner and the atmosphere is completely family oriented! We love it and will be back again!

We had our Kid's birthday party here and had a great time! Very friendly, clean place! The owners are good people, and we are so happy to have found this little gem! Affordable, family-friendly fun is always a plus. Bringing back the nostalgia from our youth and being able to introduce these great games to an entire new generation was excellent! So many options for games, all the favorites and more!! Even had stuff for our 4 year old to play too! They also have board games available to play as well!

Had a great time. The machines were in great condition. Most of my childhood favorites were there. Great price for tons of fun!

My son had the most amazing birthday party here. They were so flexible with us and even let us change the date because of a major snow storm! Great place!!

We had my son's 14th birthday party here today. It was very nostalgic and was a huge hit with everyone. I loved seeing all the dads in their happy place taking trips down memory lane. Very family friendly and the kids all enjoyed it as well. This was very reasonably priced for a private event and the owners were perfect hosts. I'm so glad my son was recently invited to a party here so we heard about it and were able to celebrate here as well. The only negative part of the experience is having to get everyon

Found this local gem earlier while paying my son?s phone bill. Lot of great games, all the classics from 80s and 90s. Everyone was really nice and helpful if needed. Will definitely be back!

Talk about nostalgia!! Came in tonight with my wife and daughter and we had a blast! From 80s arcade games to pinball to air hockey! They have games for everyone! Bring the family!

I've been to a lot of arcades all over the country and this was the best experience I've had in years! The owners are super friendly and knowledgeable about their games! We are definitely looking forward to coming back and bringing all our friends and family!

We had my husband?s 30th birthday there. We were able to have all of our friends there to celebrate. We had so much fun! Thank you Gary!

Awesome selection of machines! Everything is in great condition and well cared for. I had a blast and will be dropping by any time I'm in the Independence area.

Great price for tons of fun. Thought kids would get bored after an hour, we were there much longer. Had a great family fun time?? Owner man and lady were real nice. Small place but well done. The City of Independence should give you a bigger place. Good clean family fun. Thanks We'll be back and not just to play Terminator pinball??

So much fun. It was like stepping back in time. Excellent selection of games and very affordable. Can't wait to go again!!!

Pay at the door and games are free is the best business model. All retro games from 80-90s. Pinball, Pacman, Mortal Kombat, dig dug, tons of others. This is a great place to hang out with friends. We spent 2 hours there and the time went by so fast we didn't realize it. They do private parties and the owner is knowledgeable as well as friendly. Check out this retro style, flat fee arcade! Book it for a party, or play all day for one price. It is great fun, we will be back! 2025 update: What a great place

We did a private party for my son's 11th birthday, and let me tell you this place was AMAZING. Super fun and definitely worth the money. So many games, brought so many memories back for some and made great new memories for everyone. The owners are very friendly , and enjoy bringing entertainment to the public. Will definitely be back!!

50+ Awesome cabinets, awesome owners! Had a great time booking the place for my kids party!

Me and my dad went here and we had a great time.it has many arcade machines great prices and even concessions.take your family or just go by yourself and have a great time

I just found out about this place on Wednesday and have already been twice (and put my initials in the older bowling machine as a top-ten high score). When the owners say family friendly, they really mean it. The prices and snacks are very friendly, too! I highly recommend this place whether you have all day or just a couple hours. So much fun during the week or on the weekend!!!

What a kid friendly gem! I finally get to share my childhood with my kid. Finally, he understands the magic of standing up and battling it out at an arcade. They have a good selection of well taken care of vintage games. The employees are fantastic, and the prices are very good. I'm a sucker for all day play. I will 100% return to this family owned and operated business.

If you're looking for a family-friendly arcade that combines nostalgia with modern entertainment, Rapid Fire Arcade is a fantastic choice. From the moment you step in, the vibrant atmosphere, cheerful staff, and dazzling lights set the tone for an evening of fun. The arcade offers a wide variety of games for all ages. Classic favorites like Donkey Kong and Pac-Man sit along side vintage games like Street Fighter II, ensuring there's something for everyone. Kids will love the gum ball machines while adults

Had my grandkids birthday party there. The owner is really down to earth. Very helpful getting things ready for us. I would highly recommend this place to anyone and everyone young and old.

Rapid Fire Arcade is fantastic. The owners are very knowledgeable and friendly with adults and kids alike. There is a large variety of games that are all in excellent condition. The artwork, buttons, controls, levers, etc. all look and work great. I believe this is the best retro arcade in the KC metro. I only wish it were closer to our house (but that may be a good thing because I'd be there every week). I hope more people find out about this place, it's a gem.

This was a refreshing experience that took me back to a time when I had good clean fun! Amazing owner. Games were all in fantastic shape! And the pricing was easy on the wallet.

Fun retro arcade with multiple games to play. We had a blast and a great place to blow off steam and take you back to childhood

Absolutely fantastic place to be. So much fun revisiting all these old school arcade games I thought were lost to history. On top of that, it's a locally owned, family-owned business, and it doesn't get any better than that. We really need more places like this. Also, Gary was phenomenally helpful and talked to us as long as necessary about things that interested us, like how the games worked, component parts and where we could find them (we own a couple games ourselves), anything you can think of. Definite

We celebrated my son's 5th birthday at Rapid Fire Arcade and it was a hit! The private party room, unlimited play, and having the entire arcade to ourselves made it a memorable experience for both kids and adults. If you're looking for a fun and unique birthday party venue, I highly recommend Rapid Fire Arcade. It's a great place to celebrate with friends and family of all ages.

We had a team building event at Rapid Fire and it was awesome! The owner was super easy to work with and the team had a great time! Tons of arcade games and a party room to use if you want to bring in food. Definitely recommend checking it out!

Found you guys on Facebook and thought we'd check you out and see what we thought. Sooo glad we did. Had a great time going back in time to my youth and introducing my sons to a REAL arcade experience. We'll worth the price of admission and the bonus is, you can enjoy them all day for one low price. Will definitely be back and pass the word on to others to check you out.

I really love the management here. They always do such a good job and help you anytime you need it. Such a cool place

Super fun place! Lots of games, classic vibes, and affordable. Cant wait to go again!

This year for my birthday I chose to go to Rapid Fire Arcade it is an amazing retro arcade with a wide variety of games. You got old school and new school pinball. Classic arcade games like Super Pac-man, Donkey Kong, Popeye, dig dug and centipede. I took my 75 year old dad with me and he had just much fun as I did if not more. Best part of hole thing was we paid 10 bucks for unlimited play and played way more then 10 bucks worth, by far one my best birthdays and definitely be going back!!

Wonderful selection of games at a very reasonable price! Fun room for parties, too. The owners are great people to boot.

Take the family, take a date, or just go by yourself. No matter how you go, you're sure to have lots of fun! Gary and Lori are awesome friends and amazing people! I promise you won't be disappointed.

It was my first visit to this arcade and I definitely enjoyed myself! Gary was fantastic and made sure we were having a great time while playing. I beat a couple highscores for the first time in awhile and it felt great! Spent a solid four hours there and it was a great experience and I enjoyed the nostalgia of my childhood of going to the arcade after school and on the weekends once more! Definitely worth spending the $10 for all day play! Definitely will be bringing my mom here someday soon! She'd definit

Great arecade with well taken care of machines. They have created a old school retro feel arecade. Being able to all day for one price makes them very budget friendly. The owners are very friendly and they're usually working the arcade. They have both Pinball and video games, everything is set to free play. Stop in and check them out.

We went for my little gamers 13 bday . The owners were very nice . The kids had a blast ! The adults had a blast from the past ! Definitely a nice place to go. The place was clean ... we had a lot of fun ! Thank you !

Best arcade I've been to in a long time 90's vibes Son had such a fun time we threw his birthday party there perfect for birthday parties

Met the owner a week or so ago while doing some homecoming photos. He allowed me to come in and take a few pictures. The space is a time machine in the best possible way! Very clean and friendly I'd recommend over and over again.

Our family had a private party and it was absolutely fantastic! The owners are super accommodating and friendly. All games are in great condition. All around a great time and a great place!

Great value and vibe. Locally owned and operated definitely worth checking out

We had a great time at the arcade. The owner was so nice and accommodating to our group. It's a very back in time experience to share with friends and family in present day.

My Family and I loved this place. It's affordable, clean, and it has the old school arcade games. It's something that both the kids and the adults can enjoy doing. I would even go with out my family. ??

Small but fun still lots of games to play, great staff, good way to kill a couple hour for good price

What a cool little spot to walk down memory lane and find some of our favorite arcade games. We had so much fun here. They were so welcoming and we will be back. If you're looking for a fun spot for the family that won't break the bank this is it!

Fun and everything works. Pinball included! We are not arcade people. However, we had some time to kill between things and landed here. Met the owner who was really nice. We had fun. Played some flight games, pinball, Mario, and landed playing chess for a bit. Reasonably priced and chill.

This is an amazing place to spend some family and get a blast from your child hood I truly enjoyed spending some time here . Positive friendly environment

A really fun place to beat the heat this summer. It was clean and fun place to play old arcade and pinball machines! The owner was extremely friendly and has pride in his small business. I am looking forward to visiting again.

Husband and I went in for the first time tonight. We had a great time! It was fun getting to play some of the classics on an actual arcade machine again! Staff is friendly, great prices, and wonderful atmosphere! Recommend to all!!

Family friendly and lots of fun! Love the new location more roomy!

Went for my niece and son's birthday party. From child to adult everyone had a blast. Thank you for a great deal!

Myself and 13yr old had a fantastic time at this great new spot! $10/adult $8/kids is an awesome deal for free play retro arcade games!! It was a cheap time for an afternoon of fun! They have Mortal Kombat 1-4!! Staff was super helpful! We will be back soon!!

Update on my last review: Finally got to bring Carol Burnett to the Rapid Fire Arcade tonight. She's wanted to go for so long but there's always been a reason she couldn't go. She had a blast! We are all pinball fans, so at one point, wolfie, her and I were all on the pinball machines at the same time! She was really impressed that they had seating options, so she didn't have to stand the whole time! The stools were tall enough that she could still play and see comfortably! She said she felt like it was som

Absolutely love everything about this place! So many AmAzInG games, AwEsOmE environment and the BeSt staff! From Lawrence KS and will definitely be back!

Low flat rate, play as long as you like! Every vintage arcade game was in excellent condition! Facility was clean, staff was very friendly! Overall great experience!

Friendly staff and clean- everything functioned 100% and was in excellent shape. Good drink selection and candy and we will definitely be bringing the family back again.

We finally made it to check out this awesomely retro & family friendly arcade Friday evening. The Friday night price special was beyond worth it but even without that special this place is worth everything! From Pac Man & Ms Pac Man to Donkey Kong, Galaga, Tron, Space Invaders, Mortal Combat & even Dig Dug & a table top Centipede & classic Pinball machines plus more, there's a game for everyone. The owners are super welcoming & helpful & we know their success will be neverending. We started out with our 9y

Loved this place, retro gaming for cheap with fair priced refreshments. If you buy the all day option, you can leave and come back as much as you want in one day. Great staff, really friendly and conversational.

GREAT EXPERIENCE, and looking forward to what improvements they might make after their own opening day experience. Went to their grand opening tonight. Immediately just a cool, kinda chill vibe. $10 entry fee with freeplay on all machines (including the pinball). All retro games, ranging from an early Space Invaders to Mortal Kombat IV. Everything in (what I could tell was) great working order. The decor was a very nice touch, lots of interesting things to look at on the walls, all with a retro video game

Awesome weekend family fun night! we were there till it closed. Had a blast! my two girls ages 7 and 13 loved it as well as my husband and I!

Super clean arcade. Games functioned properly and the price is extremely fair! We will be back soon!

Really nice place fun for the family the owners was dope really Positive and showed real kindness to my kids glad I came and supported a local Business

If you love 80s arcade games this is the place for you. Had a great time and it's all you can play for 10 bucks or so and they have all day passes to!!! Just a great blast from the past arcade.

The staff is great, the games are in excellent condition, and you really can't beat the flat fee for a wristband that gives you unlimited play. Took the little dude, and he had a blast.

Our entire family had so much fun! Several Multiplayer games, pin ball, pac man and even duck hunt! Great prices fun for the entire family We will definitely be back!
