This place is awesome! They charge a general $5 admission fee, but all the games are free. There are lots of games, and its a nice clean facility. The man that greeted us was so so nice, and helped explain how things work. All around awesome people, and an awesome place! Definitely will be returning often for a fun day!

We need more businesses like this! Not only is there an amazing selection of rows and rows of awesome old school games! But its only $5 to play as much as you want, no tokens at all! Owner has passion for sure, gotta love what he brings to the table!

We love this place! It is great for the kids and a trip down memory lane. You pay one small door fee and play unlimited arcade games! They also have a few consoles SGES N64 ATARI with their corresponding era TV and lounging for effect. If you havent been here you are in for a treat! Support a local business and come on by!

Fantastic experience. Awesome selection of arcade games at an affordable price of five dollars a person. The owner was so kind and friendly. We were visiting the area and didnt realize you paid with cash, not card. The owner was super accommodating and understanding.It was a really pleasant experience and when we were in the area again, we plan on coming again.

You could spend hours in here literally hours and its only 5$ and you can play everything for free after. This is a great place for all persons and ages. Kids and the older kids who miss the classics. A few machines were down and I really hope they wipe off the buttons and joysticks a few of them felt sticky ... Yuck. But other than that I would 100% recommend this place and would come again if we were in town. Keep on growing the place and putting it together!

Went there in my first date and she loved it, 10/10, a lot of good games and neat retro stuff, must go!

Most fun Ive had in ages!!! $5 for a ticket back to the care free days of my youth is a steal!! Loved being able to try other games (there are SO many) in addition to playing my old faves. Also enjoyed all the nostalgia in the decor. The owner was there working hard but was very kind and took the time to chat with us. This will be a required stop anytime we are in the area!!

Such a great array of retro games! Hours went by so quickly in there and we only stopped playing when our hands cramped up. We had a blast two nights in a row and hope to visit again soon!

We love this place! The staff is always very friendly and helpful. It is an amazing deal and something for everyone. Also a great place to have a birthday party. Love the new expansion that has doubled the number of games.

This place is such a blast. You absolutely cannot beat the price. My son is 10 and loves discovering the games I played when I was his age. They also have a whole new wing open with more video games.

So glad your open again!!! We have missed coming! You can spend hours in here, its only $5 entry and play is free. This is a great place for all ages. Kids have a great time & us older kids who miss the classics have fun as well. A few machines are down from time to time but when your as old as we are, it happens. They have almost doubled ttheir sapce & it looks great. They are great for birthday parties too. I would 100% recommend this place and will come again. Kids and gramdkids love it! Keep on growing.

Weve been coming here periodically since it opened, and as a game dork since 1991, this is my happy place in town. We threw my kids 5th birthday here and this is the cheapest, friendliest, and easiest place to have a party in town. Sometimes your favorite machine isnt working, but whatever. Lots of them are older than me and Im old enough to worry about my credit score and whether my kid should be at home right now or transferring Covid from her classroom to her grandparents. At least I know I can hit Arkadia when Im feeling down and blast some dudes on Metal Slug on the Neo Geo cab unless some other jerk is on it playing Windjammers. 5 Stars.

I’ve gone here many times myself, with my kid, thrown parties there and more. Besides being so fun and a great activity for everyone to get off their phones, the owner is one standup person and truly a special place. I was a kid in the 80s and this brings back so many great memories.

Played many games I had forgotten about and there were a bunch of them! The staff was friendly and informative. Definitely going back!

My kids loved playing all the old games. Even my little guy didnt get discouraged because its all you can play.

$5 all you can play with good old fashion 2 player games great place to test you friendships lol

Owners an amazing guy! Such a cool place to check out. Much nostalgia!

Great place for family and friends. My son and I enjoy playing old school arcade games together.

Love it old games great atmosphere. All ages there

It was great. Great vibe, great place, and an all around great time. The owner was also very friendly, which was also a huge plus!

Cheap and so much cool Back in the day games! Owner so friendly and awesome! We will be back

Amazing arcade. $5 to get in with unlimited plays. MUST SEE

80’s kids! Great place to play the games from our childhood.

This place is awesome! Fun for all ages..

Love the new addition!

This is such a cool place. Its only 5 dollars and you can play games all day. The staff is fantastic. They are all super nice and enthusiastic. I try and take anybody who hasnt been to try it out. Its great for a date night too!

Arkadia is the BEST place to go and have a great time. There are so many games and different types. The staff is so nice. Dont forget to take cash!!

Awesome memories and awesome business! The owner is the coolest dude ever! Asked where we drove from both times weve been here. For the drive we make, the owner is always giving us a discount on top of the already cheap price. So cool!!! Very good time for my kids to see what it was like in my childhood. Very popular as well. They always have quite a few people enjoying themselves.

Awesome place full of many older games. I will be back.

A fun time, suitable for kids of all ages. Minus one star because rather a lot of the games were out of order, but there were still MANY to play. I wish it were a little less retro (wish they had some slightly more modern games), but one cant blame them for being exactly what they claim to be. Definitely worth the visit.

Amazing place to play retro videogames with your friends or family. ️

A blast from the past. Love this place and the vibes.

Creepy vibes, pre-teens making out on couches, many broken machines, WORST air hockey table ever! Great price though - you get what you pay for....

Fun place to visit on a rainy day! Its cheap enough and entertains my kids for a couple of hours. My only issue was that its cash only, which presented a problem for me when I came without cash. Several of the games were out of order but overall the place is pretty cool and well definitely be back.

Arcadia is such a fun and awesome place. For $5 you can play all you want all night. Its fun to go as a date or a group. I love to see how the management here is clearly more focused on allowing others to experience their collection than making a profit.

The fact that everything is free to play for 5 dollars up front selection of classic games! Not only are there well refurbished retro arcade machines, but there is also older gen consoles! Great for birthdays, events, with a group or even solo! I havent gone here without making a friend or seeing an old one! The owner is incredibly nice and accepting to all groups of people. This place deserves 5 dollars

Our family loves to go here. Always a lot of fun. Great place to take the kids for a couple of hours, especially when the weather outside is frightful. Relatively affordable family fun. Always friendly folks running the place.

I was SO HAPPY to discover this retro arcade upon moving here. There is plenty of entertainment and its an incredible bang for your buck. The people there are incredibly nice and I cant wait to go back!

I work at Arkadia Retrocade as a game technician.That being said I came to Arkadia a lot even before I worked there. As an 80s kid I have to say: Amazing arcade! Great selection of classic arcade games! Even my young kids love coming here.

This place is awesome. Cost$5to play games as much as u want from open till closing time. If u want to rent the room for partys it cost &75which pays for the 1st 10guest,then its only$2.50each guest after that. They do sell snack items for reasonable price. We absolutely love this place.

Fun place. My kids loved playing the games I grew up on. And it surprised them that I was good at these games— and beat them. Very different from what they play today, but they had a blast.Edit - daughter in town for the week. Went back again today at her request. Fun time.

Pretty cool. Chill vibes. Good variety of arcade cabinets. Had my favorite game Mappy.

So many games! 137!!! Super fun, cheap, amazingly friendly and helpful staff! Cant wait to come back!

Love this place! I always have a blast when I come. And it offers a great hangout spot for young adults and teens. A great place for anyone who enjoys vintage arcade games.

Amazing arcade. They allow you to leave and come back in the same day which is awesome. I got a lot of nostalgia feelings here.The back section has several older gaming systems that you could bring your old games in and play. Like the n64 and other systems that came out around that era of games. This really made me want to come back soon.

Wow, my childhood was reborn just stepping into this place. They have many of the classic machines I played as a kid and for 5 dollars all you can play its hard to not spend all day here. Even the board games left out for you to play are great for making you feel like a child again. It was great introducing my children to the games I grew up playing and they had a great time. The staff was friendly and helpful.

Easily me and my sons favorite place to go living about 2 hours away do get a whole lot of time to come here but this is a place we make special trips just to come to. Owners are awesome and every time we comes in he remembers us. 5 bucks all day cant beat that

Love this place. The owner was such a nice guy and the place felt like the early 90s. I loved every minute of it.

Took my adult daughter her and spent the afternoon together, we both had a blast. A bridge from the past to the present. Staff is great. Watch stranger thing, or wreck it Ralph (daughter loved fix it Felix because of the movie) ..quit debating and go have fun and play.

Nostalgia!!! So much fun just roaming around before picking a target. It was a blast, could have stayed way longer

Such a nostalgic place to visit with my wife. Staff are extremely nice and welcoming, and the atmosphere here is straight from old school 80s arcades. 5 dollars gets you unlimited play time on all the arcades!! A must visit for any gamer, arcade lovers!

Nostalgic and fun. The owners and management are extremely generous and nice. Great party place! Weve had soccer parties and will be having a birthday party. Great fun for the entire family!

Amazing place with tons of classic games. The retro music in the background sets a great atmosphere. The owner is a really personable and nice guy, a total class act. If you like classic arcade games I would definitely check this place out.

$5 cover for all you can play arcade games...need I say more?!OK...how about RE-ENTRY until close!! Yes, you read that right. Pay $5 once at the door and come and go all day, playing to your hearts content.Arkadia is our go-to kid friendly hang out spot. Every time we have out of town visitors, my daughter insists we include Arkadia in the itinerary. Our guests are always thrilled - the young and the old.The games are well maintained and clean. The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable in all things video game related. The game options are on point - whatever your vintage video game playin heart desires, they likely have.

The staff was very nice. The machines are really old games. Most of them work perfectly. 5 bucks to get in. Im a 90s kid and I didnt recognize alot of the stuff in there so when they say Retro, they mean it. Kids loved the air hockey tho!!!

$5 to get in and unlimited play. Whats not to like? I go every chance I get

Arkadia is a wonderful part of northwest arkansas and the culture of Fayetteville. The owner is one if the nicest people ever to have coffee in their bloodstream. Strongly recommend this as a place for people with kids to experience together.

Everyone was nice, and the place was clean

This is a grownups dream. This place makes me think of back when I was 12. My wife and I have gone down here a few times now to play our favorite games from the 80s, 90s. I recommend you bring cash as it’s a one time fee to get in and last time it was cash only. The best thing about this place is all you have to pay is the entry to get in and you are good to go all day / night long.

Super cool place, all the classics you want for just a 5$ entrance fee!! So much fun. They even have a back room for parties!!

Not just a classic arcade. Its also a museum to gaming, and one of the best bargains you will find period. $5.00 bucks gets you in the door, every game all day long is free, everyday! Come join us, support the amazing times these owners have brought together for us! Once of the best gems in America!

A blast from the past for all the 80s kids! all your fave games and at $5 for all you can stand to play, means i take all my out of town guests for a night of ATARI on the console TV or smack talking to smash bros! def a must if youre in Fayetteville

My family and I love this place, its a place where we all can go and have a good time. Im a kid at heart and always will be. Its very affordable, and I really appreciate the guy who owns it, he gets what it means to let people enjoy things that usually cost a fortune. I hope one day he expands and opens one by us.

This place is INCREDIBLE! Five bucks gets you unlimited access to a huge selection of arcade games, classic console games, and even board games! I honestly wish some place like this existed in my home state. They offer drinks and snacks for sale while you play, and they also have a reservation for hosting parties. If youre a gamer who loves everything vintage, youve got to check out Arkadia!

Awesome place!!! Very nostalgic. Can’t beat the $5 entry and access all day. We didn’t even care if some worked or not. Old school greatness!!! My 12 year old son loved Qbert. Of course I loved Qbert and Moon Patrol!!!

This is one of the best family atmospheres around! Kids and adults laughing and having a blast playing games!

This place was such a sensory delight for my geeky gamer soul! The colorful glow of the DOZENS of game screens, the nostalgic sound of lasers pew-pew-pewing away, and the physical thrill of button-mashing the unholy heck out of your Attack until that final KO...

Tons of games, incredible value! I would love to come again next time Im in Fayetville.

Wonderful arcade with games from the eighties. Brings back great memories. Good price.

Be the kid you use to be

Unlimited arcade games from the 80s for $5!!! Amazing deal! Love this place. Not all the games are working but there are plenty of choices

Nice, retro arcade. $5 admission comes with free play for all machines.They have some cool couch areas for playing Nintendo 64, SNES, Atari, and probably some others Im missing. Along with arcade machines from multiple years.Well worth the price.

This was a great place and a great experience for my 10year old. I honestly did not think he would like playing games from the 80s with crappy graffics, but boy was I wrong. He said he was in Heaven. That goes to show graffics are not everything. $5 per person for all you can play all day is a good deal. Glad we were able to find a place like this.

Only $5 to play all you want. Great nostalgic feel

Awesome selection of retro games. Donkey Kong, Pacman, Sonic, etc. Love it, cant wait to visit again.

Its a pretty good place to kill sometime. Unfortunately, they only take cash payments.

Generally great experience. Unfortunately Im too young to know a lot of the games they had. If you were born in the mid 90s dont expect to know a lot of what they have. If you were born in the 70s or 80s youd probably have more nostalgia. Lots cabinets. My only complaint is I wasnt entirely sure what to do when the game ran out of credits. Some them seem to be set in a free play mode where as others still seem to require credits, but everything is supposed to be free to play, they did have change machines and I wonder if they were set up to give quarters at the press of a button.

Thia place is fantastic and the owners are super nice! They literally just want you to come play games and enjoy what made their childhoods special. Its 5$ and you get to play as much as you want all day. They even let you leave and come back later without charging you again! Literally the best.

I had a blast! Thank you!

Old fashioned arcade games, console and board games with comfortable seating. All games played for only $5.00 a person. This place is great for birthday parties at a great price. Party room has plenty of seating and tables for your food and desserts. Try it!

Everyone is very friendly!! The entire place is SO mesmerizing!!

Cant beat this place for the price. If you love arcade games this is the place to go. We took the whole family and we all had fun and for only $5 a person you can play until close. The guy at the door was very nice and helpful. If we are ever close by we will deffinately go back.

Great place to have a good time. Nostalgic levels were off the charts. Definitely going back soon and often!

My nephews had a blast.

5 bucks for all day come and go with the kids! You seriously cannot beat that anywhere! 10/10 would recommend again

Literally my favorite place in Fayetteville! AAAAAND my 14 year old loves it too! Just celebrated their bday in the party room and will probably have mine their too.

It’s a fun nostalgic place with a ton of game options.

Best bang for your buck. If you love retro arcading then this is the place to go.

What isnt there to like about this place. The staff are awesome. Very friendly and fun to chat with. The game selection is quite extensive, with 91 arcade cabinets, air hockey, snes, nes, atari, sega, and various board games. Even on a busy saturday night it isnt a long wait for any particular game.To top all that off, the entry fee is crazy low and lets you come and go the entire day, with kids 5 and under being completely free. Oh and the arcade games themselves are free.The place has an awesome atmosphere. Its a n authentic retro feel without it feeling dated. I get the vibe that the place is more of a hobby that the owner loves, and he just charges to cover electricity and rent on the space and to pay employees to keep everything running smooth.There are rumors that they may be expanding as well, with a new assortment of games and game types.

Super fun retro arcade! $5 for all day play. Only downfall is they only take cash.

We had my son’s 11th birthday there. I was amazed at how many people attended ( the parents secretly wanted to go.) I’ve met the owner, he’s great. The price for the party was very fair. We had a wonderful time. Our guests had a wonderful time. It’s a great place for a party. It can get a little warm so dress accordingly, but old tech tends to run warm.I really love this place. They are well worth a visit.-grant

Best $5 ever! Make sure you have cash. They dont take cards!

Nostalgic fun doesnt get much better than this!

Want to meet the nicest person in the world? Then walk through the doors of Arkadia Retrocade! Do you want to see someones facial reaction deform into shock and awe? Do you want to simply have a great time?...or, wanna have the greatest 1980s flashback? This place is the portal to greatness and fun for all in the family! Go here.

A great place to just chill and have fun. And, it only costs $5 for the entire day. Every time I go, I never want to leave. One of the best, if not THE best, gaming places Ive ever been to!!!!

Had a great time! Plenty of great games to pick from. The staff did a wonderful job of keeping the games clean and in working order. Will definitely be going back again!

The guy running the place is incredibly sweet. We came in tonight for my husbands birthday, and really just had a blast. This place is a local treasure!

The place is rad with all kinds of great retro games. The owner is extremely nice, and when we had to leave for an emergency we were assured wed be let back in.

Awesome place to go!

This arcade is my favorite place to go in all of North West Arkansas. If I could come here everyday I would. The staff is always friendly, the games are stuff a blast from the past and its so clean even with little kids constantly being in and out! I recommend this place to anyone who wants to escape back to their childhood for a few hours
