Wall to wall 80s joy. All the pinball and 80s vintage arcade games you can handle for $20. Free sodas. Period music. Who says time travel is complicated? Just go here!

Very cool place. The pinball machines are kept in good condition. Strong flippers and no dead places in the games. 15 dollars for 3 hours of unlimited games.

Hidden Gem in Lombard for family fun! Have come here a couple times before but came for the first time in their new location in the outside Yorktown shops. Great game selection (my kids love air hockey and skee ball while I’m stuck on NBA Jam and Crazy Taxi) and all unlimited play. As usual, owner was really personable and attentive. For $15 per person ($5 more w/ pinball) you can stay all day/evening. They even provide wristbands to come and go, which is especially nice now that they are surrounded by restaurants and open later than the mall closes. For the same budget that lasts my family 20 minutes at some places, enjoyed games with my kids all evening (and even was able to let them continue the fun while my wife and I stepped out to have a bite next door). Will Be Back!

The pinball and arcade revival is alive and well in downtown Joliet. Amazing selection of games. You could spend $9 on a movie for 2 hours of entertainment or for $12 you could spend an entire evening here.

Went by after searching around, sign up said closed for private event until 2 PM. Killed some time, came back shortly after 2 PM and was told they were closed for the aforementioned private event. When I pointed out it was after 2 PM they said that the event was running a little late with an annoyed attitude, like they were bothered by a customer visiting their business. I suppose if they feel that way they will not mind that I never visit their business again.

This is a nice little place to go to. Its also in walking distance to the library, fun little outing to do with kids. I did think the prices were a little bit high, luckily we found them on Groupon, but I dont know that we would go here on a regular basis due to pricing. I still stand by my review though, theyre definitely a fun place to go to to do something different.

I took my daughter here to meet up with some friends. I didnt realize that anyone in the arcade is supposed to pay to be there. I had no intentions of playing on the machines but was told I had to pay. Its odd they dont make exceptions to this rule. Other than that issue, its a pinball wonderland! You get free beverages with cost of admission. The friendly staff there told me I could park in the bank parking lot across the street instead of paying a meter. Decently clean facility with hand sanitizer pumps on the tables.

This place is spectacular. Great pinball machines from several eras. And some great classic arcade games. Love the wristband play. If you like something stay and play for awhile. No need for tokens or quarters. I spent 4 hours there with my 13 year old and we were never lacking for entertainment. Very nice staff. Look forward to the additions coming in the next year.

Fantastic!! I felt like a kid in a candy store. A few tables have some minor wear and tears issues but not enough to spoil the fun. A+

If you like pinball, this place is worth the trip. Its clean, the pinball machines are routinely gone through, and the atmosphere is reminiscent of old-school pinball. I feel sorry for people who have not discovered this little gem in the heart of Joliet.

Super fun! Great collection of pinball games! Places like this are hard to find. This is a great gem in a very beautiful town!

Whats there not to love? 30+ pinball machines spanning 4 decades (1973-2013). All games are set on FREE play with the dirt cheap price of just $10 for unlimited play all night long! A handful of arcade machines, foosball, and 3 sit-down racing games. To find a collection of pinball machines this large open to the public is a rare find.Family friendly, they even have step stools so the little ones can play easier.Pop, chips and candy available for now... I hear they are working to be able to sell bottled beer soon.Open Friday & Saturday 5pm - 11pm for now, with plans to expand day/hours when business picks up.

Pretty fun place to play at. Numerous selections of fun games to choose from and they have a very good combination when it comes to the types of games they got. Also, it gets very competitive in there.

I need more gameplay here before I give 5 stars. However, there is a great variety of classic pinball.

This place is AWESOME!!! The selection of games is solid, and the attendant that was there was helpful and friendly.The crowd while I was there was a good mix of older people and a few kids. No one was roudy or out of control like youll get at a dave n busters or chucky cheese.I do have one complaint though...they have a WoZ and Rob Zombie machine thats not on the all you can play plan. I was a little miffed about that, but understand as those are expensive games on loan...so just the chance to play them was worth it for me.All in all, strongly recommend.
