We come here quite often. It’s inexpensive and the kids enjoy it. Every single time we come, games take nickels and don’t give tickets. Not every time we play a game, however it is COMMON. I typically just go on about my way as this happens several times and if I went and got an employee every single time a game takes a nickel or doesn’t give out all the tickets I’d stay at the front counter. Typically, the staff is really good about working with you when it rips the kids off from tickets. Today, my son and I were playing the ticket arm game where it scoots the number of tickets in the slot. It had already shorted me 50 tickets when my step daughter took my spot and then it worked fine for her. After she quit I went back. This time my son got the 250 ticket ring and it shot out ONE ticket. So I called the guy over. He tried it once and he got some tickets so he stated it was working. I said yes we’ve been playing it a while and it’s been doing that. We were told we have to understand they are machines and they don’t always work. That was irritating, we pay to walk in the place and pay to play. I get it’s a cheap place, but this is such a common occurrence here. It was fine when they were understanding, but if you’re going to expect ppl to pay to enter and pay to play. Have your machines work better.

There is something nostalgic about the games here, from the classic to new school stuff this place is great. The space isn't huge but big enough to have a decent time, the staff looks tired and not really interested in being helpful but what do u expect. Overall not bad , worth every nickel spent.

Love this place for the kids to play some old school games. You can bring your own food and drinks in, or they have vending machines for snack purchases. Very nice staff.

A lot of there machines do not work and they also didn’t have that big of a selection for the prizes. When you tell the staff that the machines are down they say they can’t fix them and give you what you spend on the game just to go to another game and it not dispense the tickets 😮💨 played a couple of games where buttons were broke or games not functioning properly.
