Super fun, great value for $14pp! Vintage games and pinball galore, plus new K-Pop style ones too. The food menu has a nice variety, and their selection of bottled sodas was my favorite! Perfect for kids, and my 3yo had no problem playing while standing on a metal stool. Cool spot for a bday party too!
I had a blast at this arcade. I love the large selection of retro arcade games that they have available to play here alongside some retro consoles too. There are also a few newer arcade games and some imports from Japan as well, which includes the rare Touhou Perfect Sakura Fantastica, which I hadn't seen anywhere in person before. The place has a single entry fee with all of the games being set to free play mode, which was great because while I love Touhou, I'm terrible at it and burn through lives quickly. The place had a fun and exciting atmosphere to it, and everyone seemed to be having a great time. My one small complaint is that the music they were playing, while a great selection of songs, drowned out the sounds of most of the arcade machines.
Took my kids there for the '80s retro vibes and had a blast. So much so that we actually rented the place later to shoot some scenes for an indie film I directed called "Casey Makes a Mixtape". That movie is now streaming on Amazon, Apple TV and more if you want to see the arcade in it. Great selection of games and they even had Asteroids, which was my fave as a kid. Friendly staff. Fun times. Definitely recommend it.
Had a great time here while visiting Dallas! Absolutely love that you don’t have to pay for individual games. I would have preferred to go at a time where kids weren’t everywhere, a few teens were obnoxious and ruined the atmosphere. We had fun playing games and even came across some Japanese games, which were cool, but also we had no idea what we were doing because they weren’t in English (not a knock, it was interesting.) We would definitely come back if we ever find ourselves in Dallas again!
My husband knows I love playing Pinball, so Saturday night for our Date Night he took me to Free Play Arcade Dallas and I had a Blast! I began playing Pinball and before I knew it, 2 hours had passed. They also have a variety of fun old school video games and new video games. This is a fun place for all the Family. The atmosphere was so cool, along with The decor and I loved the 80's music. They have a nice bar that serves soft drinks, beer and cocktails. If you're a gamer, or not, I suggest you give it a try.
