Husband's Birthday

I brought my husband here as part of a birthday weekend that I had planned for him. Since we both grew up as gamers, We loved this place! There were plenty of free play retro games that we gravitated towards,since we had not seen some of these games in over 20 years. There is a $2 admission charge, but it is well worth it! We spent 3 hours here easily. Had we not needed to check in at a local hotel, we would have stayed longer. Great fun for kids and even us big kids! We will be returning!

    A Great Cheap Way to Spend An Afternoon
    Good, cheap, old fashioned fun. Cheap entrance fee and then most games are twenty cents to play. A row in the back, including a vintage pacman, are all set on free play. Took my teenage son and we had a blast. The staff was very nice.

    Great place for kids on a rainy day
    The kids LOVE this place! so many games to choose from and they have a cheap nickel section with "old school" games that parents still love to play (-: Plenty of prizes to choose from ticket winnings. Food is "OK" but I'd eat somewhere else before or after. Kids probably don't mind it.
