Super fun! Anyone who even kind of likes video games should come play. There's a cool game similar to Dance Dance Revolution, some shooting games, and a WHOLE LOT more! Owners are super friendly and helpful.
Excellent place. There's a fun atmosphere and the people here are lovely - as well as a pretty broad spectrum of games. My spouse, kid, and I were in three different booths in three COMPLETELY different experiences. I painted and used google earth (it's surprisingly good in VR, both street view, and their model world), kiddo went to town with gorilla tag (i think it's called?) And spouse did his thing in Beat saber. There were more than a few other genres we haven't gotten to yet - and we've been back a few
Customer service is awesome here! I went with a few times with my kids. We have a blast each time the owner is super helpful with those who have not previously used VR. Heading back soon!
My boys love it there, and so do I! Great experience. The owners/staff are very helpful. Support small business!
Had so much fun playing! Went with my fianc? to try it out and loved it! We will definitely be back!
Very happy with our experience, the crew is very help full and friendly highly recommended if you want to find out what virtual reality is like !!
Good experience and atmosphere.
Awesome place, can't wait to get back in the pod!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.”
