    This is an amazing place for a birthday party. You can bring your own food and drinks. It’s great for all ages. Just as nice as the OG location.

    It should be called quarter-rama since every game costs 4 or 6 Nickels. The prizes for tickets are a rip-off and 'cost' way more than other arcades charge for prizes. Your kids won't leave with much of anything. You have to pay an entrance fee per person. For the same fee you could go down the road to an all you can play free-play 'classic arcade' (no tickets). Games take 4-6 Nickels to play, which means you or your kids have to carry around a cup full of many heavy Nickels. Ultimately kids will like this arcade because most machines are 'games' that dispense tickets. There are enough different machines to keep your kids entertained for a couple of hours, and most games are newer.

    The place was nice and big. Some of the workers were rude, along with some of the people. There are 2 games me and my kids loved to play. We won over 11000 tickets.

    There's a flat fee to enter per person and then you buy nickles to play. Most games are 4+ nickles but they have good variety. We've been a few times and often run into the issue of a good portion of the games being out of order. Did a birthday party here and it was really affordable and included a party table to eat/open presents at but it's LOUD and there is no private spaces for parties.

    Great place to allow your kids to have fun at a reasonable price. Some of the games don't work, and because it is a small space, it does get quite crowded. But overall not bad at all!

    Great time with family. Extremely affordable and plenty to do. Young and old had a blast with our group.

    Have been coming to this location for quite some time but have had increasingly negative experiences, so we won’t be coming back. They close at 10 but refuse to sell coins at 9:30. Told us we couldn’t turn our tickets into the paper tickets at 9:40. If you don’t want to continue operations past 9:30, then close at 9:30. Multiple games broken and when you inform them of a broken game that you’ve won jackpot on they just shrug and say they can’t do anything. Waste of time and money.

    Fun place for everyone. Very spacious and clean. Only 4 stars because I feel like a lot of the machines are broken and some don’t even dispense the tickets
