We loved every second of it here! It was nice seeing a selection of both nonalcoholic and alcoholic drink options. Paying for each game with quarters instead of a plastic card is so much easier and more satisfying. We had an issue with one game and they were very helpful in getting it resolved. I was especially impressed with all the very new games to choose from, including Star Wars, Dune and Harry Potter. We also enjoyed the selection of two player games, including air hockey, Tetris and Mario kart. I would describe this as a hidden jem and you should check it out.
We had a great birthday party here for my 6 year old! The kids had a great time, and the owner was super nice. It was easy to book. I recommend it! Thank you!
Avoid when there's a tournament. They don't put up any signs or anything reserving the machines for the tournament, then get annoyed at you when you're on one of those machines. They even had the whole back room reserved, but no sign to inform customers not to use those machines. I will add that I have no idea if the people who were rude to me were staff, or just running the tournament. Positives: good selection of seemingly well maintained machines. The bartender was friendly.
My family of 4 stopped here on a Monday afternoon. There are lots of pinball machines in great shape! There are also a few other arcade games but we only tried Mario Kart. The rest of the time we played different pinball machines. Most games are 75¢. A few are 50¢. There is an ATM onsite and a few change machines. There are some really cool pinball games. We especially liked The Mandalorian and Jurassic Park. They also have an outdoor area with picnic tables and some games. A bar is available for a variety of drinks.
Found this place after checking out and leaving thereafter another arcade establishment in the area. As a patron who values ambiance and overall experience, I must say that The Ice Box Arcade takes the cake. It is clean, and with a huge open space. The atmosphere is as inviting as it is vibrant, staff exudes warmth and hospitality. So, all you family-friendly, fun-seekers and nostalgia junkies, if you haven't experienced the pinball and arcade paradise that is The Ice Box Arcade, you're seriously missing out!
