I went there this afternoon with my girlfriend and her son and we had fun but it felt that the place has gone downhill. It's been quite a few years since I was last here so I was curious to see if it changed or upgraded and I felt nostalgic. Now maybe it's just the day we went but half the machines are out of order. It's pretty disheartening to go to an arcade and you can't play half the games because they're out of order. They need to be fixed. Not only that but it seemed to be all the games I liked. Yes that's a coincidence but it doesn't make it less aggravating. This place has potential to be a fun blast from the past but I seriously have my doubts if they will continue much longer. I hope I'm wrong. The reason why I didn't rate it lower than 3 stars is because we enjoyed most of the games that did work. I'll go back in a couple of months and see if there's any changes. But it definitely lost some of it's luster.

Always a good option for the kids to spend a couple of hrs with $8. Best place to gather family memories.❤️

It's a fun, family friendly place to spend an afternoon at. Lots of fun games, only cost $4 to get in, and all games cost 1-6 nickels. Loved the pinball & skee ball.

It's a very unique and interesting place. An arcade with some of the older games and newer ones too. Most take 3 or 4 nickels to operate. Some machines are broken to put money and others out of service. The place is fun for kids but it's not free it's $4 dollars to enter wether you play or not on top of what you change to play, as you play you earn tickets for prizes they are not worth it and getting tickets turns out to be expensive. Still it's fun for children. The attendants are courteous and prompt to try and fix any issues with the machines when asked to do so. You can't take any snacks or drinks inside and the options to buy are very limited. I recommend you take a coin bag to put your nickels if you visit because if you need something for nickels they sell you a cheap tiny foam cup for 5 cents and it breaks easily. The location is good it's in a place with plenty of parking and there's many amenities and other stores in the same area.

We recently attended for a birthday party and had a great time. I'm not sure of the entry fee because our hosts covered that. They were able to bring in pizza, drinks and cake for their guests as well as had a space to decorate as too. There were picnic style tables with space for everyone. The building is smaller and understandably dated but ultimately we all enjoyed our time and playing with nickels really let the kids have tons of fun!
