1 / 2Two Bit Circus
📍 Downtown, CA
Modern arcade featuring VR experiences and interactive games with pay-per-play pricing. Best suited for families with teens, though equipment quality can be inconsistent.
Amazing arcade with plenty of games and experimental VR experiences. You don’t need to pay for entry anymore, and can just come to get a drink or play games at your own rate. Great for dates and family trips. They are currently bringing in a lot of new games so watch this space!
🏆 Family Action Verdict
Best for families with teens who enjoy arcade games and VR, but quality seems inconsistent since relocating to Santa Monica. The pay-per-play model without entry fees works well, but check equipment is working before committing to expensive packages.

“I used to go to the location in DTLA and loved it. I know they relocated here in Santa Monica and had a blast. Had fun playing with all the games and enjoyed a drink at the bar. Lima was a great host and provided above and beyond customer service to make us feel right at home.”

“It was my first time here. Not quite as big as I thought it would be, the arcade games were mostly ok, a few were pretty cool ones thou. The food was average to above average, don't expect a lot of choices. Honestly, I would've gave it 2 and a half stars, but that virtual Zombie game was NICE! I really liked that, so because of that, I'll give Two Bit Circus 3 and a half stars.”
