What an amazing place. This is a diamond in the ruff. Very fun place for kid friendly games and the management and staff is amazing. Most of the games worked well for the age of the games and there were a lot of games that didn't require money. Me and my family loved it.

Great place. Not the most modern facility, and I like it that way. The vintage game cabinets are what keep me coming back - I can play all the classics of my childhood. If that weren't enough, they have the (arguably) best version of DDR - UltraMix 3. Great place to spend an afternoon with the littles.

Great place for the kids and ol' school games that are free play. I would recommend them for play dates and special events.
