Customer Reviews

Great fun! 1 hour isn't enough, I suggest 2. Reserve a spot on their website ahead of time. Especially great gift for those motor heads in your life.

Went there after randomly finding it on Google maps. Owner is great. Definitely worth a try and well worth the $27 for an hour!

This was great - we were able to throw some axes before hand at Burly Axe and then came next door for some sim racing?if you tend to get motion sickness you may want to take some Dramamine beforehand

Took a group of 4 people and we had a great time doing these. Unfortunately mine kept malfunctioning and had to keep being reset. The last 30 minutes of our one hour session I only spent 4 minutes in the game. Slightly disappointing when you only get an hour. Would definitely recommend going for at least 2 hours, if your shoulders can handle it haha

This is my 2nd visit. Russ had us up and racing in record time. We raced quite a few different tracks and cars in our time there. Russ was great in finding out what we liked and suggesting options. It was an amazing amount of fun. If you've always wanted to experience racing this is the place to go. Highly recommended!!

Cannot say enough about how excellent this place was! We will definitely be back.

Amazing...took my 9YO and 14YO and we raced NASCAR, mud-trucks, and F1. The owner put me in a 1979 Lotus F1 w manual clutch and full realistic maintenance restrictions. It was surreal. Great value and if you're not into it, drop off the kids and go next door and throw some axes! No really.

Their new location is a Awesome place . Great Employees. Simulators are amazing . Highly recommend for anyone to try. They help you get setup and throughout your session.

If you're into racing games this is a awesome experience for a reasonable price. Beer on sight, good staff. Axe throwing is also on sight!

We had a really fun time, I'll definitely be back

Fist time trying this out was a real blast!!! Great time and friendly staff!!!

If you get a chance to go you have to check it out! They are awesome, friendly, and excited to work with you.

Great staff very friendly an the simulators were amazing I've been back several times cant get enough!

Take can take your older kids here! Fun for couples too!

Only 4 Sims but they were very high quality

Wicked fun, thanks for the great time!

Such a cool experience!

The system is always glitching and not running right.

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.”
