🏆 Family Action Verdict

Best for families with children aged 6 and up who enjoy classic gaming. The unlimited-play format means kids can return to favourites without burning through credits. The pinball variety makes it especially worthwhile for parents who want to play alongside younger children. Weekday visits offer a more relaxed pace.

This place is great! We have been on a Saturday and a Sunday. $20 and $15 per person on these respective days is a great value for unlimited play! There are plenty of machines from classic 80s video games like Pac Man, Space Invaders, Centipede, Joust Dig Dug and more as well as a huge variety of pinball machines and modern video games. Many pinball machines are linked to Stern pinball which allows you to track your progress and high scores across the network and with some games, preserve some of your progress. SO GOOD!
