“Rocket Arcade is SO cool. Mixture of quarter games (think big name games and air hockey) and free to play floor of games with a wristband. Went last night with the kiddo to meet friends. 0 expectations as I am a gamer and the kiddo isn’t as much. Man, did we have so much fun. I got to travel through the deep halls of arcade nostalgia while watching my kid make memories with friends. We spent almost 3 hours playing without even realizing it. Facilities were very clean. Games are a good mixture of everything. Standard box games, riders and racers, shooters, etc. Recommending to all who visit South Haven!”

“Fun indoor experience on a chilly day in April. Not too busy or crowded with a wide variety of games and activities to play once inside.”
