Customer Reviews

The staff are kind and always checked on us to see if we needed help figuring anything out! My family and friends had a great time and we will be back!!! So glad to have this place here in Texarkana!

My husband and I decided to check this place out as something to do together for my birthday and it was awesome. Lots of fun games. Affordable. And the owners are sweet as can be. Definitely child friendly. It's clean and well lit.

Absolutely FANTASTIC! My kid loves this place & my wallet approves! $20 for 80 tokens on a card that costs $2, and games are 4-6 tokens each. A lot of fun to be had on the cheap & a good way to beat the heat this summer. I hope TXK keeps this place open!

I spent 20 dollars and got to play the arcade machine so many times and got to try VR games. Fun for whole family.

An amazing arcade with tons of fun things to do at such little value!!! For only 15 dollars I was able to play a bunch of fun VR games and try their driving simulator. It's a must go!!

It's not open yet, but I'm certain it will be a success. The owners are incredible people who are always looking for ways to grow the community. I wish them all the success in this new venture.

It is a good way to have fun and it's absolute worth it bring your kids!!

Great arcade!! Had an absolute blast!!

$20 and has tons of fun

Enjoyed myself fun for the kids.

Great arcade! I hope people are respectful and peacefully enjoy the arcade. Let's not mess this up.

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.”
