Horrible treatment. Was playing today and suddenly all of the people who paid to get in were told to leave in five minutes because a private party was starting. I heard the worker telling a patron “I’ve given you three warnings. We had to get out now.”
Bad management. Don’t believe the unlimited play crap.
A huge selection of classic and new games with pinball machines from the past. I had a good time and even though I didn't find the game I was looking for, I found alot of other games to play and 15 dollars for all day price is very reasonable.
Big fan of this place. It has always been a good spot to play pinball. It's currently a flat fee to play unlimited, which is a good deal if you stay for a while.
GREAT throwback arcade. $15 entry and all games are free. Great way to spend some time on the weekend!

Wonderful place for a fun time out, great atmosphere and amazing staff!! Highly recommended!!
Had my son's 9th birthday party here yesterday, Aug 24th. It was absolutely the BEST place to have a kids party. It's a flat rate for adults and kids. You get to play every game as much as you want. There are chairs, tables, lights, the place is clean, tv, and so forth. The staff was extremely nice and helpful.
We were allowed to bring our own food and drinks, which was a huge bonus since most places won't let you do that anymore.
Staff was super chill and let our party guests just have fun and do our thing. Truly was relaxing and fun.
Everyone who came was very happy with the game choices and the old school games as well. I feel like the adults/parents enjoyed themselves more than the children ?
Overall it was beyond affordable, great fun, ideal for a party and now our friends want to throw their parties here too!
Win Win for everyone!

Happy family!
I had a lot of fun and I remembered my children, thank you very kindly
Cool games, guy who was running it was no where to be found. So we looked around, about 5 mins later my husband decided to play a game. The guy who was working there was very rude, came up to us and started to tell us that you have to pay 15 dollars per person to play, even tho my husband was the only one playing a game. We even paid for the game we played! They had a private party starting soon and we just wanted to check it out. We had about 20 mins until the private party started and there were other people in there already. We even looked for help to ask questions and no one was found until my husband decided to play a game. Horrible customer service and we will not be coming back. No where posted big enough for anyone to see says you have to pay separately than the machine to pay. No signs at the door. Was very disappointed.
Super fun place, $15 for adults $13 for kids with unlimited play. I love the super chill and retro atmosphere, doesn't feel as stuffy and stuck up as most arcades, also lots of space and very clean

Bummed about the price change. Used to stop in regularly to play a bit of pinball, now it's 30 buckle min for my partner and I to walk in, so we hardly go now unless we are in the mood to binge
For $15 you can play most of the games except for a few in the front. Lots of pinball machines, a few classics such as Mortal Kombat 2, Terminator 2, Pacman and Street Fighters. There are 2 vending machines for some snacks and soft drinks as well as a bar that serves alcohol. There’s a section for souvenirs such as T-shirts, hoodies, stickers, patches and vinyls. $15 well spent.
I came to this arcade and paid my 15 dollars for unlimited play for the day until 11pm. was told that I could come and go as long as I have a wristband. I arrived at 3pm. At 430 pm I was told that I have to be out of here at 5pm for because they have a private party. If I were told this when I arrived I wouldn't have paid $15 for 1½ hours of play time. The games are fun but I was cheated and I'm not very happy about it. Wouldn't recommend this place at all to anyone.
Fun games, great merchandise and chill environment ?
Great place to spend time with friends and family. The only complaint I have is on one of my visits with family, an employee had been smoking right outside the door and kept the door wide open. The cigarette smoke filled the front end of the arcade. It was pretty bad and smokey. I myself have asthma, so this was dangerous for me. My sister and my newborn nephew were with me that day. The employee knew there were people inside as well as a baby. It would have been considerate for the employee to have closed the door knowing that cigarette smoke can be dangerous for some people. My sister was very upset that her baby was exposed to the cigarette smoke.
