Customer Reviews

Awesome place to have fun. Definitely the best one and most complete arcade around the area. Very pleasant and entertaining games, racing video games, claw machines, arcade dance machine, horse racing video etc. Very well designed too. The only thing is that the claw machine are calibrated on the difficult side

If you're looking for a fun spot to unwind, Ready Go Arcade is the place to be! The atmosphere is fantastic?it's the perfect blend of excitement and chill vibes. The arcade has a great selection of games, from classic favorites to newer hits, so there's something for everyone. What really stands out though is the customer service. The staff is super friendly, welcoming, and always ready to help, making your experience even more enjoyable. Whether you're gaming with friends or just looking to relax and have

This arcade is super fun and full of exciting games! The atmosphere is colorful and energetic, and there are so many different machines to try. I really enjoyed the racing games and claw machines. It's a great place to hang out with friends or take a break with some entertainment. Highly recommended!

This arcade is great! The environment is clean and tidy, and there are a wide variety of games, especially the racing games, which are very experiential. The steering wheel vibration and the pictures are very real. The children had a lot of fun! The equipment is novel and the lighting is cool. It is suitable for family gatherings and friends to play. Highly recommended!

I came here with my two friends and their kids, and we had an absolute blast! Spent about $25 and left with a while bag of plush it's! The workers come and restock the machines but also reposition them so they are a little easier to get to. It's so addictive, but it's also really fun. Some of the claws are missing the rubber boots to help them grab, so that sucks and they should be more on top of things like that. Also, some of the machines, after grabbing the prize, came back up too hard and would likely d

This arcade is just so fun to go ahead and play some games other than claw machines! I would recommend playing the arcade games that give out tickets! It is so much easier than getting the plushies for points. It is also 50 tickets for 1 point which I find reasonable as some machines spits out a lot of tickets! The workers are very friendly as they will help explaining how the games works and even help move the plushies for you! ?? I won this Jujustu Kaisen (JJK) figure, Gojo and I hope they add more JJK fi

such a family friendly place! the claw machine isn't too crazy hard to get!! the pricing is reasonable also. the kids loved it!

My daughter and I enjoyed the games here! Very fun place to spend a weekend afternoon with kids! It's not difficult to get these cute little rewards!

This amusement arcade is amazing! It's bright, colorful, and full of exciting games for all ages. The lighting and futuristic ceiling design make it feel like you're stepping into another world. There are tons of racing games, claw machines, and even VR stations. Everything looks clean and well-organized, and the staff seem helpful. I had a great time here and would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for fun and entertainment!

My mom and I had such a fun little outing here. You could really feel the joy in this space. My only request would be for there to be hand sanitizing stations since everyone is touching the machines, but overall such a great experience!

There are a large number of the latest gaming equipment inside, such as three-screen dynamic racing, VR shooting, dance machine, etc. In addition, the hit rate of catching dolls is very high, and almost everyone can return home with a full load.

Very cool place full of variety of prizes such as small plushies , regular plushies, huge plushies, and keychains. Also alot of activities such as basketball, virtual reality games, race cars and motorcycles, dancing game, and even a punching machine

They have both claw games and arcade games here. Plenty of games to play for all ages. It's the biggest one in this plaza. Other claw game locations in this plaza are tiny compared to this one.

This place is awesome!! Has claw games and arcade games!! The staff are so helpful and friendly!! Love it here! Good times !!

Such a fun experience! A lot of claw machines and games to play! My kids really enjoyed this place! Will definitely come back!

This place is so much fun! I had the pleasure of being helped by Alishba here, and she truly made the experience even better. From the moment we walked in, the energy was great, bright lights, exciting games, and a vibe that makes you feel like a kid again. Alishba was super helpful and patient, walking us through how the game cards work and even giving us some tips on which games were best for tickets.

New arcade and claw machine! The credits to grabbing plushies ratio is higher than any other claw machines I have ever been! Highly recommend!!

Liz Emely have the best customer service the game broke down. They made it up to my child. What are the chances of any customer service doing this but these two girls did it I will be coming back

This place is huge. Went there with family and really enjoyed the fluff animals. They also have other arcade games as well. Will def come back

Ready Go is a fantastic arcade! Very clean, all the claw machines were working great, and they had a huge selection of prizes. The staff was also incredibly friendly and helpful, making the whole experience even better. Definitely recommend checking this place out if you're looking for a fun time!

A new claw machine arcade just opening here is Chinatown and they have other games so this place is more like a traditional arcade and they are not finish expanding yet. They are also on as early as 10:30. The staff here are very friendly and there are some great prize to exchange for. I like the cyberpunk feel of this place. The cost is fair compare to other claw machine business in the area.

Prove me wrong!!! This place looked like the perfect arcade. Went to the front, bought 20 coins. Had my eyes set on a 30-point prize. I asked how many points are stuffed animals worth. The staff told me 1/2 point for tiny , 1 point for medium, 2 points for large. I went straight to all the large ones, and I won 15 of them. I went back to the front to cash out. She calculated each to be worth 1 point. I asked, I thought the large were worth 2 points. She said these aren't large. I said these were the largest

Lots of fun, so many fun games and things to do.

It was ok. I went with my son to check out the crane machines because of the high ratings. Prizes were just ok. After picking up prizes, the crane machine jolts when heading back, shaking the machine and causing prize to fall out before getting to the drop area. The claws in the smaller machine with long key chains prizes didn't lift the prize high enough to carry it to the drop area. Although this is a decent place, clean, with lots of machines, we were disappointed.

Very good super fun environment very respectful workers really helpful workers too

Very fun for kids and adults. Average $$. ~$.80 per play.

Love this place. I go here 4 times a week! ??????

Went there yesterday and it was great! There was this one worker wearing a black bandanna and she was super helpful but I forgot her name. Super fun place to be with your friends!

awesome place!!!!! we had so much fun and we also won a lot of plushies playing the claw machine! loveit!!!!

Very fun place with a bunch of driving games that even move when you are sitting. A bunch of prizes at the front desk. But I wouldn't get the blind boxes if I were you. I opened one and it was fake.

Love this place. First time here and I definitely will be back soon

DO NOT take your kids here for the claw machines... they will be disappointed, most all the machines jolt back causing the prizes to fall back.

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.”
