Unfortunately it seems like a lot of the machines are broken. Is one of the machines worked it wouldn't be a bad place. It would be nice if they had pinball machines that worked although most of the time when I was trying to play them the ball would get stuck somewhere and you'd have to tilt the machine to get the ball back so that kind of ruins playing pinball.

It was our first time there. My three year old had a great time. $5 went a long way. Only negative was some of the machines were out of order and lot of older games but overall was fun and we'll go back.

There was a lot of people but it wasn't overly packed. And everyone there was nice and friendly. Everybody seemed to be having a good time too. The employees were all friendly and very helpful.

This was a small, but fun nickle arcade. Most of the games were the kind that give tickets and generously so, which my kids loved. This would've been 5 stars, but several machines were out of order. I'd definitely go back.

We had a party there for our child it was fun. It would be great to be able to not only set up 30mins before but include 20 to 30mins for clean up after the hour so it's not so rushed. It's really 45mins, then you need to clean up. Our son enjoyed playing games with his friends 💙 that's what matters most, he had such a great time playing all the different arcade games
