Had my sons 10th birthday party here! Perfect venue. Affordable and fun! Back room for all the party supplies and had kids toys for younger ones too! Chad was so helpful with the kids using the games, and attentive of the littles that were present as well! 100% recommend you visit for a fun VR experience and/or book a birthday party here! 5/5 ??
Something Cheboygan has been need for a few years. It's very fun and very affordable.
Would absolutely give more stars if I could. Booked a birthday party here, everything was amazing. Prices were good, atmosphere was great. Chad was more than helpful, knowledgeable, and amazing with the kids. We will for sure be back.
Had my birthday party there. Owner was extremely amazing and catering, can't wait to go again
Had a blast for a birthday party here. Will go again. Tons of games for moms and kids ??
Super fun worth ever minute enjoyed my experience
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.”
