Customer Reviews

DO NOT SPEND MONEY HERE!After playing for two days to win a price, my children had their hearts set on we earned enough points only to have them remove it from the case a few hours beforehand. The worker could not add up the extra tickets my son won correctly then credited his tickets to someone else's card. Finally got that corrected ( for the wrong amount as the worker could not add). The worker did not know simple math. She could not multiple 5 x 50 then told us that we did not have enough for the item a

This could be so much more. There's plenty of space in Sam's Town to provide a cool game experience, and with the rise of esports and retro gaming, it could be a good draw. This is not that, but at least the man running the shop was kind and patient. Turn the old TGIFridays into a real retro arcade and use Sam't Town Live! as an esports arena!

One tiny arcade is not enough to enjoy my interests. It looks super boring in here. Don't waste your time.

No to many games but my kids and I have good time. Please more games please

Guys that works there kick us out for literally waiting to decide what to play next . Don't go there

This little arcade was perfect for my tot!

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.”
