Arcade 92 has become one of my kids’ favorite places to go, and for good reason. If you’re looking for a spot that blends classic nostalgia with a fun, family-friendly atmosphere, this place absolutely delivers. From the moment you walk in, you’re surrounded by the sights and sounds of throwback arcade games from the 90s, and it instantly feels like stepping back in time — in the best way possible. One of the biggest perks is the pricing and flexibility. For $12, you get an all-day pass, which means you’re not constantly feeding quarters into machines or watching the clock. You can leave and come back the same day, which is perfect if you want to grab food elsewhere, run an errand, or just take a break and return later when it’s less crowded. That alone makes it a great value, especially for families. That said, weekends can get very busy. If you’re planning to go during peak times, be prepared for full rooms and a wait to get on some of the more popular games. Personally, I wouldn’t recommend weekends if you’re hoping for easy access to every machine, because it can feel like there’s always someone waiting for the next turn. If you can swing a weekday visit, the experience is much more relaxed and you’ll have your pick of games. The game selection is where Arcade 92 really shines. They’ve got a fantastic lineup of classic joystick arcade cabinets, pinball machines, and even rows of old-school Nintendo and PlayStation 2 setups. It’s a great mix of hands-on arcade nostalgia and couch-style console gaming, which makes it fun for both kids and adults. Watching my kids discover games I grew up with has honestly been one of the coolest parts of coming here. Food-wise, I’ll be honest — as an adult, it’s not really the main draw for me. That said, my kids love the pizza, and it does the job when everyone needs a quick bite between rounds of games. There’s also a full bar available, which is a nice touch for parents who want to relax while the kids play. From what I understand, kids are allowed in the evenings until around 9 PM, after which it becomes adults-only, which feels like a good balance for both crowds. Overall, Arcade 92 is a fun, affordable, and nostalgic experience that’s especially great for families. If you time your visit right and go when it’s less crowded, it’s hard to beat the value and the variety of games. My kids always leave happy, and that alone makes it a place we keep coming back to.
