Customer Reviews

Super low key, super retro, nice collectibles. Definitely worth a visit. Great prices. Walked in just before close to check it out. The owner let us test the games out for free! My daughter found a toy from 2016, we replaced the batteries and she is currently playing with it now. We will definitely be going back to her play. They also offer kids parties and private events. A true hidden Gem.

Check this place out! Not only is it fun for adults and kids, the prices are unbeatable! I've taken my daughter 3 times and she loves it! They have had new games to play each time. My daughter loves the air hockey, pac man, and tic tac toe setup. Plus I always gotta buy a hot wheels or pokemon collectible.

I was excited to check this place out. They have a lot of great collectibles, I personally came partly for the Hot Wheels. But they have Funko Pop, Pok?mon and alot more variety to check out. Also, it was very well priced out. The mini arcade is alot of fun. Great variety of games to play including air hockey, foosball and a really cool digital board game that let's you pick from alot of games. Would be a fun spot for a date night, birthday party or just going to hang out.

This place was super cute and fun! We went after dinner on a date night and it was perfect. Staff was friendly and games were fun! We will definitely be back :)

Absolutely love taking the kids here! Old school arcade with hours of fun for one reasonable price!! Definitely nostalgic of the 80s too! Hidden gem

Such a neat place. As someone who didn't grow up with arcades, I was surprised at how many great games this place has, no quarters necessary. Great vibe and they have a neat storefront with all sorts of cool things.

Super cool place for kids and adults. Family owned with a beautiful story.

Fantastic collection of Hot Wheels and other collectibles! Clean, Great atmosphere and most of all courteous and kind help! They've knocked it out of the park! We came from Toccoa, Ga just to check it out and will be 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.”
