💬 What Parents Say

  • 💡Bring cash for tokens - most classic games cost just one token (25¢), while newer games and pinball machines cost slightly more but remain very affordable. This makes budgeting easy and ensures you can keep playing longer.
  • 💡The pinball selection is exceptional and highly regarded by visitors. If you're interested in pinball, this venue is a must-visit destination with a curated collection of quality machines.
  • 💡Plan to arrive with a group for birthday parties or celebrations - the staff is known for being extremely friendly and helpful, and may offer special perks. Budget around $5 per child for 1-2 hours of entertainment including pizza.
  • 💡Every cabinet here is intentionally selected with no filler games - expect a high-quality, curated collection of classics like Guitar Hero, Mortal Kombat, and Golden Axe rather than mediocre time-wasters.
  • 💡Food options are limited to pizza and snacks plus a soda vending machine, so plan accordingly. Consider eating beforehand if you prefer more dining variety, or embrace the simple arcade food experience.
