Very fun. Alot of old school games to play. A Little more expensive than Funspot. These arcades use cash unlike Funspot. We spent 15 bucks and had a blast.

Was very disappointed and dissatisfied to be refused service due to not wearing a mask. Have been bringing my family here for years but will not be forced to go against my constitutional right because people are uneducated. I am saddened by the fact that people would rather be scared and remain uneducated and turn away a local resident(s) because of their own beliefs, not facts. Will not be returning, I would much rather support a local small business that actually knows what is and isnt a government mandate, instead of a business run by a rich fat cat that has more money than brains!

Two games ate my money, VERY expensive ($1-5 per game) and the prizes are terrible! (Kitchen scissors, flashlights, body wash)

Owner/manager Told me to pull my mask over my nose when talking 6” from face with no mask Himself and said “my house my rules”. Business owner to business owner that’s very unprofessional not to wear a mask yourself while implementing your “house rules”

Very nice place. Definitely dated though. The games are slightly expensive but for where you are it is to be expected almost.

Scammer guy at half moon bumper cars took my $10 bill and exchanged it for another $10 bill so we could get a couple $5 bumper car tickets. The machine kept spitting it back out, his did not work either so he kept it and asked if he could make change for the $20 bill I had, gave me a $10 for my $20 and I thought great we dont need to feed the machine. He said I had to get tickets first, so I did. then I asked him for the other $10 he owed me and he denied he owed me anything, said I gave him a $10. Even showed me he had around forty $10 bills and no $20 bills, pocketed it like a magician. Forgot all about the first $10 he exchanged which should have paid for the two tickets in the first place. My wife agrees he scammed me, she was watching as carefully as I was. We chose not to make a scene and jumped in the cars with the kids. He was good at it and has done it before.

This is a fun little arcade with a nice mix of old and new games. The staff is responsive and friendly. There are two locations at Weirs Beach, on either end of the same block. We always look forward to stopping here when in the area.

They have two and you can combine your tickets and so many games for so many people. Easy to win games.

Prices are a bit steep compared to buying tokens in bulk at fun spot, but the good news is that games charge quarters, not tokens, so you can actually play as little as you want and not be roped into prepurchasing more tokens then you need.The big advantage of this arcade is its quality DDR station and jump rope challenge game. Those two games carry their weight.

With Funspot right up the road, its easy to pass this place by. Dont do that. This place is a real treat and on my list of places to hit up anytime Im in Weirs Beach.Youll find a great selection of games - old games too.

It was fun and had some old school games. Most of the games worked but when a glitch came up the gentleman was very nice and accommodating to get it fixed

Great little place for a boardwalk. Not much to expect here, same as any other expensive arcade. Its fine for a stop to entertain the kids and break up the day, get the,m in the shade a bit. Seriously set a limit because most games run you $1 these days, but so does like every other arcade.

Brought my 6 year old niece here yesterday. She had never been to an arcade before and she had the time of her life. As you can see in the pictures she got tons of tickets and a bunch of prizes and she was just beaming from ear to ear. Great fun for the whole family.

I asked the woman working at the front what I could get for 31 tickets and she didnt speak. Then I asked if they had candy for a low amount of tickets(I hadnt read the sign yet) and she just stared at me and didnt speak. Then she threw my ticket away and continued to just stare. Nice games, fun atmosphere, very bizarre people working there...

Stepping into the arcade brings back memories from my youth of going camping and then heading to the rec hall to beat the high score on Pac-Man or try to make it to the next level on Pole Position. Ive never been a huge gamer, but theres something more fun about playing on an arcade than your phone or game machine.

Located right across the lake its a relatively small arcade with a good amount of fun games there. It has a healthy mix of crane games, classic arcade games and ticket games. Great for families and a good place to bring small kids to. Would recommend it as a nice place to stop by on a vacation.

A nice arcade to stop into if you havent got many high expectations. They have some of the classic games, ski ball, and gimmicky fun high school date stuff like a picture machine. During the summer is typically a mad house due to the young beach goers, and when it starts cooling off its more fun to go to.

Nice old fashion arcade. Right across the waterfront. Lots of old games .... with todays prices 1.00 for 1 pinball game is a bit much

Good selection, in the middle of renovations but still a few really nice games. 5 Pinball tables, the best of which is Funhouse in my opinion. A bit pricey, but not terrible.
