My son and his friends seam to have just as much fun here as Dave and Busters and it costs me 1/4 as much. Think it's a fun place for all ages. They have a variety of games from vintage (80's) to modern. Plenty of ticket style games so the kids can get a toy after. The machines actually shoot out tickets and you actually use nickels to play the games. Refreshing and a good type of nostalgia. It's $2.00 admission per person and they have pre plastic bagged nickels to buy.

My kids had a great time. Clean and kept well, staff were constantly seen walking the floor. It'll be cool if they decorate it more, like the walls. And their prizes need more stock as well. It's a must visit for anyone with kids.

Took my two young grandsons here for some fun. Unfortunately, I have a broken foot. Despite nobody using the party room, they would not let me use one of the forty chairs in there. Unbelievable. Was going to do a party there this summer but not now.

Erin Smith-Norrick | Aug 25, 2021

No but they’ve got bottled/cans water, soda and tea in a fridge available for purchase at the entrance, and 2 or 4 water fountains (I can’t remember,) and they also have candy available at the prize counter for tickets. Thankfully there is a KFC, El Pollo Loco, WaBa grill, and Brusters Iced Cream all in the same strip mall that I usually just go to before heading. But remember to get your hand stamped if you’re planning on coming back!

Typically for this type of request, youd be better off going in person or calling to speak to the owner. These Google Questions dont get much attention from the business youre trying to reach... especially a place that takes nickels lol.
