Purchased birthday package for my daughters Birthday. It seems to be the local hangout for the homeless and druggies. At one point a guy lit up a cigarette and smoked it walking thru business. The smell of pot smoke was often lingering in the air as well. No one in my group felt that it was a safe place for children. I tried ordering an extra pizza and was told he had to decline my order, due to the fact that the 2 toaster ovens were in use. I told him i was willing to wait since I was with the bday group. I was starving but unable to eat the doughy/greasy pizza, so I gave it to a passing homeless person. Bad experience to say the least. Do better!

All the games I played were fun, but the game where you fly a jet (I forgot the name) will sometimes eat your coins and not let you play it. If you talk to one of the employees about it, they will fix it for you. Overall, I had a lot of fun, great time.

Wandering the neighborhood and we found this place. Some cool old classic games and groovy decor. Played Dig Dug with my son, brought back some memories. My wife and daughter loved the neon air hockey. Check it out!

Such an awesome and fun spot!! Staff was super friendly and the 80’s and 90’s decor (toys) was like reliving childhood!! Also, if you’re in town for The Goonies house, they have some great shirts too!!

It's One Of The Better Places To Visit, I Grabbed A Corn dog Waiting For The 101 Bak To Seaside.. If I Ever Go Bak To Astoria I'll Definitely Visit Gizmo's Again, 'Very Nice Girl' at The Concession Bar Was Helpful🤩

This place was awesome! The tokens work well and we liked the physical way our kids know how much money they have to work Most games were very reasonable at 4 tokens each, or about a dollar a play. Lots of signage to ask for help if something is not working. Games were retro and it offered a lot of nostalgia for those of us 80s and 90s kids. It's a great stop to have some old school fun.

Awesome place. Almost brought me to tears, was like stepping into the past. Tons of pinball games and arcade games. Really fun atmosphere with lots of memorabilia.

Stopped in twice while visiting Astoria for a few days. My family enjoyed our visit quite a bit! It was a big hit with my ten year old gamer. The staff was friendly. Gizmo’s environment was clean and welcoming and appropriate for all ages. For an arcade it was calm and not too loud which made it a great place to hang out for an hour (it wasn’t very busy when we were there which probably contributed to this calm vibe but we appreciated how chill it was!) . The game machines were old school arcade games (no playing for tickets or plastic swipe cards!) that appeared to be well maintained and operated with tokens. We were given a few free starter tokens! Thanks!! Had classic games like Pac Man as well as pinball and a couple claw machines. There was plenty of seating available for me to enjoy a beverage while my kid played. Retro movies and music were playing in the background. There is also a nice selection of local, retro and Goonies themed merch. We didn’t try the food but it seemed to be very reasonably priced.
This was my favorite arcade by far, it was a vintage arcade that you would pay for tokens, and really affordable too! The service was incredible and when a puck from the air hockey got stuck, the person who fixed it gave us 7 tokens to play it again, even though it was only a 4 token machine.

This place is awesome! Me and my kids always have a good time playing the old school games and using the tokens to play. Tokens are decent price and food an drinks are good price as well. Definitely a great place to take your family ?
