Customer Reviews

LOVE that it's in southern Utah county and love that it's open Sundays!! It's hard to find an indoor family activity on sundays. It's definitely smaller than Spanish fork?s but we appreciated not paying an entry fee and enjoyed the line up of games. I felt like the ticket earnings were generous and both kids got great prizes despite only being there for 30 min (we had $20 to spend). Overall a great place and happy with how close it is!

This place, put simply, is not worth your time. I think most people that reviewed five stars haven't seen other arcades ? this place is incredibly underwhelming. The game selection is incredibly small, with every game being uninteresting. While you might see a good game here and there, most of them are just glorified gambling machines you'd see at a run-down casino. I would be fine with that if there were other options ? unfortunately, there's nothing. If you want something that isn't a casino or festival g

Easy self set up for your card. Reasonable prices. Small selection but easy and enjoyable.

I stopped by with my friend and our kids and they had a blast! Lots of great games and the guy working was super helpful and kind. Highly recommend

It's so small compared to the photos online.

Stop by and check this place out! Super fun!!!

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.”
