A first class pinball & video arcade. Plus you can grab a meal or have a Beer. Yet kid friendly! They had many of the games I played 40 years ago. Management is quick to respond to issues. This is a great place to go on a Saturday!
We went to The Arcade for my son’s 11th birthday and they were so nice and accommodating! I had read the hours wrong so we showed up an hour before they opened, but they let us come in anyway to hang out. Then they booted up the machines early and even upgraded us to a party room when we were just planning on partying at the tables. The kids all loved the pizza and pop and had a ton of fun playing their games. My son’s review is that it was the best birthday ever! Thank you so much for making it such a special day!
Being a total child inside, I couldn't resist going to an arcade while in Witchita. When you enter, they have a large selection of pinball and older arcade games. They charge by the hour for the arcade games and pinball is pay as you play. The selection of pinball is top notch. Although I do like some Jersey Jack games, Stern is always solid. I could stay at this place for hours on end. They serve decent food and liquor too. Gotta check this place out if you're in the area.

Very family friendly place that really takes this gen x guy back to his childhood hood. The food was quick, tasty and reasonably priced. The game play is hard to beat at $12 for unlimited play on MOST of the games. Some games like skeeball cost extra, but still aren’t bad at all. I did not partake but the bar looked well stocked and again the prices were very reasonable. Things that could be improved would include cleaning the games better, some are pretty visibly dirty and taking more care to ensure the full facilities are accessible by wheelchair and isles are blocked by games, chairs, etc. Overall very happy with this find and will be returning with friends.
