Customer Reviews

The attendant running the arcades and rides is so extremely pushy, unfriendly, and plain rude. He kept yelling "next" to my children who were the only two looking at the prizes. They were trying to figure out what they wanted...after they had to count their own tickets. There were no other people even in the building, and he then told my 13 year old to give him his tickets and decide! Then when he tried to rush my 11 year old, that he kept yelling "next" to, I told him what I thought about his unfriendly na

Smashed penny machine was great! That TRUMP fortune teller machine is wack!

At first it was great fun. Then I noticed some truly unethical hidden rigging meant to actually secretly cheat the patron in the games. I understand games being extremely difficult and that the arcade needs to make a profit, but this was just ugly. What I saw was actually intentionally concealed and meant to cheat you. It has given me a permanent bad impression of this place and the companies represented inside. I've been to many arcades and have never had this sort of experience. It ruined what would have

Don't waste your money here, games are rigged to loose and the airbrushed tattoo from outside the girl promised my daughter would last weeks didn't even last til the next day, just a big ole money trap and disappointment to your children.

My 2 year old son and his mom went to ride on the carousel and the attendant didn't even looked at the to be sure they are seated before he started the carousel. They weren't seated and ready to go and they almost fell!!! The rest - everything is too packed and it's dirty !!!!

Not bad. Air hockey needs to be replaced and a few issues, but for a large arcade, not bad.

Great time for the kids

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.”
