Great place. Extremely clean. Worker was very nice and informative. 10.99 and play as much for 3 hours is a great deal. If I come to Erie again we will stop back.

Pay one price and get 3 hours of gaming! Some games required tokens but majority of games were play all you want. Had all of our favorites in one place. Fun time!

I like that you pay one fee for unlimited play. If youre sensitive to loud noises, you might want ear plugs; its EXTREMELY loud! Its a little pricey for a family of 5 to go, but if you spend the entire afternoon there, its not bad. Its nice to see a bunch of old school arcade games; we 80s kids had a good time introducing our kids to the games of our childhood. I do wish there was a discount for bringing 4+ people, but well be back again anyway, even if it isnt all that soon.

Spent $40.25 after tax for four people to go play 9 holes of glow in the dark putt putt and play arcade games for hours. It is good for the day and all arcade games are free except ones that give tickets. I wish there was hand sanitizer available but other than that a lot of the early 2000 games were there included in the cost. It was sweet. I didnt count but probably 50 or 60 racing games, 30 shooting games, 2 air hockey tables, 3 pool tables.I do wish you could continue to play putt putt over and over. It wouldnt cost them more but hey, cool place.

Had a birthday party for our child here. Clean and fun, but was a lack of communication. Staff was very friendly and courteous but had a hard time with the bill. Otherwise, all the kids had a blast and enjoyed the pizza and pop.

Fantastic place for family and fun and friends! Especially since they made it a little more adult-friendly on the weekend with BYOB! Five stars across-the-board. :-)

Its an awesome place. Most of the games are free play but they do have some games you can win tickets and redeem the for prizes. They have a 9 hole glow in the dark putt putt.

Absolutely love this place. There are a ton of free to play games and there is a very cheap entrance fee to get in. Mini Golf although more oriented for kids is still a very nice touch. The staff are super courteous. Really makes you feel like back in the day at old school arcades minus having to dump a whole paycheck of quarters.

I love this place. Nothing beats old arcade games on Free Play, especially for only $10 at the door! The BYOB on Friday nights is an awesome time and a great date night option. They do serve food here, as well (pizzas, etc.)

A decent arcade with unlimited play on most of the machines. Ticket machines take tokens. The pizza is not half bad and quite fulfilling.

Review №31

For about 10 bucks my wife and I got to play arcade video games for pretty much as long as we wanted. We got there at about 3 and could have played til 9. As long as we kept our wrist bands on, we could even leave and come back without having to pay again. Plus 9 hole glow in the dark mini golf was included in the price. Totally worth it! We had a great time.There are also ticket type games, VR, a laser maze and a food counter that all cost extra, but even those were quite reasonable. Wonder fun! Highest recommendation for anyone who likes video games, arcades and stuff like that!

This arcade is really good, it’s very cheap to get in and most of the games work and they have Blacklight Mini Golf. This place Is also very similar to Scene75 but a lot cheaper and smaller.

Review №39

Was looking for something to take the kids to with the rainy weather. Havent been to a real arcade in years, so we figured we would try it out. The price was very reasonable, especially with the amount of games available that were free play. We paid for a family of four package deal that included a pizza and drinks. There were additional games that required tokens to play, but everything was very reasonable. Brought back alot of memories with the games available and everyone had a great time. The staff was very friendly and made the whole experience even better. Would highly recommend to anyone wanting to get out and enjoy themselves with a little video game nostalgia. Well worth the cost for a great day of entertainment!

This arcade is amazing, very cheap to get in and it’s a really nice price. They have a lot of games including a nice selection of classic pinball games as well as Glow in the Dark Mini Golf. It’s a really nice arcade and the staff here is really friendly. The food is here is really good especially the pizza and the hot dogs. I totally recommend coming here then any other arcade here in Erie.

Coolest place to experience and bears return visits. The VR is cool as well. Putt putt is pretty legit with UV lighting considering it’s inside a confined space. Affordable. Renting a room for a party was a positive experience as well.

Fun place to play retro video games. Most games are free play and they are always updating and expanding. There are also glow golf, pinball, and skeeball if video games arent your thing. Recently added VR if you are curious to try it. Fun for family and groups

Love, love, love the Fri night adult BYOB! Only thing to make it better would be to do it Saturday night too! And maybe change out some of the pinball more frequently.

Review №45

TONS of games to checkout and try. Definetly worth the admission fee; theres a few games that require coins but I didnt do them and didnt feel as if I had missed out too much on anything. (I believe it was the games that gave out tickets for the prizes). The glow in the dark mini golf had some pretty rad murals too! All of the games were running and functioning. More 2-4 player games than I expected which was cool! Looking forward to going back.

Even though we have Round 1 (I LOVE Japanese music games), I still love this place. For like $11 and change, you get a ton of machines on free play. Their selection is awesome. Definitely worth going to!Edit: They have Popn Music!!!

If I could give more stars I would. It was the most fun and laughing my family has done in a long time. The games were so much fun that you lost track of time. The price was very reasonable and the selection was many. If these retro games dont make you feel like a kid again then I dont know what will. What a great way to bring them back and reintroduce them to our kids. To play it in real life instead of remembering or explaining it to someone or your kids is like nothing else. Believe me you wont be sorry...just sorry you cant play longer or in our case...dont live here to take advantage of it because I would live there. Congratulations on this unique and awesome idea!!!

Had a lot of fun here. Got the weekend unlimited play. For the price, I wish it wouldve came with a pizza & drinks. That was an extra $25 on top of the $60 something we paid for admission. My 10 & 12 year olds had a blast, but I kinda wish they had a few things to entertain toddlers. All in all it was a fun time.

This place is so much fun, its like going back to the 80s for the old school arcade. Unlimited games for $10 and they have an indoor putt putt course thats included in the entrance fee, newer games as well as old. They also have a new VR area and laser maze room. Pool tables, air hockey, and ski ball. Great for kids birthday parties.

They were able to accommodate our large group without a reservation and was fun for everyone. We had an age range of 6 to 45 and everyone had fun. Make sure you check out the mini golf! Super fun!Admission includes most of the coin op games available. There are a few you need to pay extra to play but reasonably priced.

Play Port is just great. Its just over $10 a person for free play on tons of games . You get a free round of glow golf too. They added token games so you can earn tickets and pick out prizes. We had our daughters 9th birthday party here and everyone loved it. And the pizza is really good too.

Some games are pretty worn and not working the best. But, they are older games so I dont expect perfection. They have quite a few games to win tickets which cost extra.

Review №71

This was a lot of fun for a good price ($10 per person for unlimited free play). There was a great selection of fun games. Not all of them were working properly. The mini golf course was very visually interesting but not lots fun to play. Since a game was included in the price, it was fine. Not crowded at all on a Friday night. Not being a local, Im not sure if thats indicative of popularity or just something else exciting happening that night.

Review №72

Super fun. Me and my wife had a blast playing those old nostalgic games. There is a flat fee for a certain amount of time and you would think that youre not going to be there that much time but you will be surprised. A lot of old great games but I cant believe they did not have Asteroids. They need Asteroids.

Review №92

I stopped into playport and was excited to try out their vr games. About 10 minutes into the game, it stopped working. The employee by the name of Corey came over to assist, so I thought everything would be fine and he would take care of everything for me. I quickly found out that I was sadly mistaken. It almost appeared as if I was a burden to his time and he seemed to have an additude with me the whole time. This is definitely not the way you should treat a customer. This completely ruined the whole experience for me and I wont be returning. I can understand when technology fails, however there is no excuse to treat a customer with such poor manners and lack of empathy.

Review №96

The arcade was fun and it was great that most of the games were free play once you paid to get in. It got a little more crowded than I would have liked. The arcades Im used to have windows, are lit brighter and are cleaner. It was a little darker than I felt comfortable with, especially with 2 little boys. I was visiting for the first time from NC. Staff was very nice and accommodating. The little ones loved it.
