Customer Reviews

Awesome local arcade with super friendly staff! My son loves it here and asks to go back every week! Lots of fun games and a bunch of pinball games too! Clean facility. It brings back memories of when I was a kid. So happy to be able to share this experience with my son. It's cost friendly, with most games being just a quarter. We can enjoy hours together here for $20 or less! And of course we can't leave without my son playing the claw machines and hitting up the candy counter too?lol. They even have a hig

$10 for four hours of freeplay! My son and I had a blast! Nice variety of games!

This place is great! Quite a few really good games from way back. A few awesome pinball machines. The only actual arcade worth going to that I know of. I hope this guy stays in business because it is awesome! Cheap to play also. You can go have a blast with $5.

Absolutely amazing! Go here almost every weekend for the fun experience, and the very friendly staff!! I would recommend coming here every chance you have!

It don't get no better than this it's local has snacks and drinks all the games you can play unlimited amount of fun the owner is very nice guy even gave us some games on the house it's a new business and I really would like to get this out there and keep this business going

Just discovered this place today and the kids (and parents, lol) had so much fun! Great prices and environment. Owner is really nice and accommodating too.

The man at the arcade store was very very DISRESPECTFUL to my wife and has never heard of a demo on a arcade game never coming here again says the husband not the kid Don't ever come here with your kids if you wanna pay 10 bucks for games that are 2.2 to pay

Great place to spend your quarters. The owner of this small locally owned business loves the games and just wants to share the joy of playing in an old school arcade. The prices of many of the games is shockingly only $0.25 some are more but thats to be expected. There are old school pinball and even two new fancy ones Led Zepplin and Godzilla. Bring your kids or better yet leave them at home and stop on by.

We adore coming here with our 3 girls but I have essentially told everyone that I know with pre-teens and teens that it is worth the short trek out to Richmond for this gem of a stop. The least stressful way we have found to kill a couple hours on the cheap where everyone is happy.

Starlite Arcade offers a nostalgic experience with its old-school arcade ambiance, complemented by a selection of newer Stern pinball games. The fusion of classic and contemporary gaming provides a diverse and enjoyable environment for arcade enthusiasts.

If you loved & miss the old arcades then you need to go to this place. Retro games with retro prices. Really friendly helpful guy. We took our Grandson and he loved all the games. We will definitely be back with & without our grandson.

Owner's a super cool dude. They have a nice selection of pinball machines and other classic arcade games. Highly recommend to anyone who enjoys a arcade experience.

Classic, cozy, and fun. The size of the arcade is great for the amount of games. Games are mostly $.25, there are a few thats $1.00 but its only 2 or 3. Definitely recommend for a family outing or fun date night.

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.”
