💬 What Parents Say

• 💡Bring quarters or small bills - Eight on the Break is one of the rare arcades that still uses quarters for gameplay (25 cents to $1 per game), so come prepared with change rather than relying on card systems
• 💡Don't skip the food - the cheesesteaks and chicken tender baskets are exceptional quality at incredibly low prices ($6 combos), and visitors recommend them as a highlight of the visit
• 💡This arcade specializes in rhythm games like Taiko Drum and Piano games that are hard to find elsewhere, plus they constantly rotate new pinball machines, so each visit offers something fresh to discover
• 💡Perfect venue for birthday parties and group events with diverse game selection spanning classic arcade games (Ms. PAC Man, Air Hockey), pinball machines, imported Japanese games, and DDR
• 💡As home of the New Jersey pinball league for 30+ years, visit during league events or tournaments for an authentic competitive arcade experience and to see serious pinball players in action
