They stopped using nickels and are now using cards which really throws off the retro feel of the place

This arcade game room is actually quite fun. I was more interested in getting the kids out of the house and didn’t really care too much about winning the tickets - although that is part of the fun for the kids. The people here are super friendly and there are a lot of games to choose from, all costing 20 cents or less to play. $10 will last you a good portion of time and overall, the kids had fun doing so.

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

I thought the customer service was good. The employees were helpful whenever there was a problem with the machine. Though a few weren't working which is to be expected anyway.

Is this place rigged

Jordan Zweigle | Sep 11, 2020
Ramona Chavez | Sep 11, 2020

Aren't they all... After playing a few games you know which ones you can easily win at. It's not that bad. Just not a very clean place. Unless they updated it since I was there last.

How much its to book a party and how long do we have to reserve it?

Maribel Ramos | Sep 12, 2019
Joe | Sep 12, 2019

It is $29.50 per hour, and that gets you 10 wristbands. You can book a total of 3 one hour slots (4 hours total), which comes to $88.50 and gets you 30 wristbands. You have to come into the Arcade to book the party, and if you want to cancel, you have to do so at least 3 days before the party starts (72 hours). I work here, if you couldn't guess.

How much do you guys rent the room for party?
