This place is great. This should be a top ten attractions on your list. If youre contemplating over The Game Preserve or Mr. Pixels it really comes down to preference. This place has way more of a Dave and Busters energy, where Mr. Pixels is cheaper and has more of a hole in the wall aesthetic (I also like it better, but hey thats my opinion). Its $15 a person per for the day, The Game Preserve the pinball selection is unbelievable, its almost like a museum. Love this place and I love cranking it out on the Street Fighter II in the back.

There is an abundance of original arcade games here for your selection that is sure to satisfy that nostalgic craving. But where this place seems to truly shine is in the pinball machine sections, the layout of the location makes it easy to navigate and exciting to explore. This is my third time visiting the location and regardless of how many times Ive entered, its always an exciting and visually stimulating location to venture into. Id highly recommend this location that can be enjoyable with a group of friends or even on your own.

Great blast from the past. Original working games in 2020!! I love this place. Its fantastic for any game lover

Cool retro arcade. Its like walking back into the 80s and 90s. Pretty cool place and a bargain at $15 in my opinion.

Awesome retro-arcade games. I had a blast!️

This is a fun place to hang out. Love all of the vintage machines. I also loved that they had so many Pinball machines. If you are looking for the classic games from the 80s and 90s, this is the place to go. Its hard to beat the price.

Violates every COVID state mandate! My wife and I visited around 8:00pm on a weekday and walked into a crowd of people none of whom was wearing a mask. This included the person behind the counter as well as the ones in the comic room in the back. In fact we were the ONLY two with a mask on in any form! There was no six feet distancing as random people clustered around arcade game consoles and pinball machines drinking or waiting to play next. In addition, the games (those that actually worked), the counters, the floors and sitting are were greasy from weeks of not being cleaned nor sanitized. This building needs to be inspected immediately and CLOSED until further notice. Will follow up.

This is a nice place to go have fun, to do something different. A lot of games. It’s great to take your kids they would enjoy it. I loved the pinball machines they were so cool, I hadn’t played that in a long long time. I’ma post some pictures so you can see everything better.

Pretty fun for a while. I guess ever since I went to The Galloping Ghost in Chicago my expectations have been set high.

Most of the games are in fine working order. Our family had a wonderful time playing for a few hours. If youre looking for some wonderful nostalgia, this is certainly the place!

Excellent time! Really fun.

This place is the best! So many fun and classic games and the staff is super nice. I couldnt have asked for a better time and a better place to visit

This place is great. Had a blast!

Im so happy they made an arcade! The Game Preserve is a very entertaining experience. So many fun games to play. I havent heard of some before and they are really fun and exciting! Definitely check this place out!

So let me start off by saying this place is a cool retro environment with tons of video arcade games and pinball machines. But...the owner really needs to figure out a way to get the machines that are broken fixed. When you try to play most of the fighting games such as street fighter or mortal combat the control stick does not work half the time and the buttons are very sticky or not working. Games that are out of order should be fixed or needs a way to be fixed. People spend anywhere between $25/month which is $300 a year, depending on how many people are signed up for the membership there should be enough money in the budget for fixing games and or parts to fix the games. Like I said its a very cool idea but these machines are old and hard to find which makes it almost impossible to fix some or find parts...not a good business model if you can’t fix machines in a retro arcade in my opinion. OWNER please fix the games!

Such a cool place! This takes me back to my childhood spending hours at the arcade dropping quarters in games with my friends. I got to play some of my old favorites as well as many games I never even heard of before. I LOVE the huge selection of pinball machines, old and new. Also its so cool to play some really old, and probably antique, machines that have analog scoring and actual bells ringing instead of digital scoring and a speakers for sound. The staff is really friendly and even though they are pretty young, they are very knowledgeable about the games of which many are probably older than they are. I only wish this place was closer to where I live.

Super cool place to visit with knowledgeable staff. Byob and unlimited play:)

Really great idea! Love that I can play the classics of my time. Nothing like the feeling of launching the ball on a pinball machine. They have fixed prices for hour, day and month passes I believe, but you cant just pop-in for a quick game hence the missing star.

We love this retro arcade. We enrolled in the monthly family plan. More cost effective if you plan to go more than once. They have so many games. Pinball machines galore. You are able to bring in your own drinks and snacks. Always fun for us and the kids.

One of the coolest places in the world. So fun!

Really great 1st time experience there. Loved the 80s and 90s feel to it. Took me back to my teens and the games I remember. 15 dollars all day play come and go if you want, which is a great deal. Great music selection on the jukebox and it is even free. Small concessions but the cooks and most snacks are just a dollar.

Its so nice to be able to go play real old school video games and pinball. Lots of games and lots of pinball. I Ive this place. If you like to get your drink on they even let you bring your drinks inside.

I have been there once last week with my college buddies, and we had an absolute blast! There are so much variety of arcade cabinets and pinball machines that can keep us busy for hours and hours.I also love the aesthetic appeal on how it was built inside that was straight from the 90s. It felt like I went back in time and living like a kid again. I reccomend to bring a group over to experience the most fulfilling arcade gaming experience.

This place is great for a slice of nostalgia. Some of the best arcade classics are available and the pinball machines are amazing. I wish they had an hourly rate instead of a daily price and Id stay longer if they served food. Otherwise, its a cool place to hangout for a couple hours.

THIS PLACE IS AWESOME...LIKE TOTALLY TUBULAR!!! They have a great selection of video games from the 80s. Ms. Pac-Man... theyve got it. Joust... theyve got that too. Tempest...yep..that one too. The staff is friendly and accommodating. We went in with our two children (14 & 11) and had a great time. The kids loved playing the older games that paved the path to the creation of the newer ones...like Fortnite. The prices are reasonable and grant all-day access. It looks like they are continually adding new games. Go! You will love.

This is a place of nostalgia!! So many games from my childhood! There was even a De Lorean parked out front! Just pay the entrance fee and play to your hearts content. No need for pockets of quarters, they are all free to play. Pinball machines everywhere!!!

Kids love it. Lots of games to play. 1 price for all day - open play.

Do not go to this place. Half of all the games are broken.

Im always telling people about this place. We always have a blast here! They have pretty much every arcade game you can think of along with ski ball and a whole wall of pin ball machines.

Such a fun place! Staff is friendly too.

What a fun G-rated place to lose track of time.

Vintage games everywhere that take me back

I was there for a birthday party. There was a lot of games down for repair. I did however enjoy the pinball machines.

Awesome place to get your fix on “retro” video games and play some others that are from the beginning of time. They are in good condition and you can bring in food, drinks, and alcohol. The pricing isn’t bad. I would definitely suggest coming and trying them out.

This place ROCKS. Just pay a flat fee at the door, then come in and enjoy ALL your favorite classic arcade games all day for as long as you want to stay. Everything is on Free Play, so no need for a sack full of quarters. You can also bring your own food and drinks in with you. They have an incredible selection of games (Pac-Man, Galaga, Joust, Mario Bros, Donkey Kong, Q-Bert, Burger Time... you name it, they’ve got it!), not to mention tons of pinball machines. They also have a comic book shop with a nice selection. Super fun way to spend the afternoon!

Its a cool place. Couldnt imagine bringing a family and spending $60 for four people though. But if you want to spend $15 or $30 and play some retro games with friend and relive some childhood games, as well as play some REALLY old school games, then its a good place. Went at night. Pretty dark inside. Appears to BYOB. So if you want a place to hide from your family while you drink beer and play pinball, then its a total winner.

Place brings a lot of memories, my kids had a blast the price is awesome and you can byob and bring your own eats, its Saturday and the crowd is really nice, definitely give it a shot its well worth it

The name says it all. They preserved some of the greatest arcade games and even do their own maintenance on the machines. There is even a nice comic collection store inside.

The coolest retro arcade I have ever been to! It brings back the radical 80s and I love it!

I am a first gen gamer. I grew up with atari and nes as they came out and am proud to be part of the leading edge of game obsessed adults. This place is like stepping back in time to when I was a kid and used to get so excited to go to the grocery store with my parents so I could play the arcade games in the front of the store. This place also lets me share my past with my kids. All around great place and the membership prices are ridiculously low.

Wow this place is so much fun.. I grew up playing most of the arcade machines they have here in the 90s so even I had a blast. I took my teenager here as a birthday gift and he also loved it. I live near the sugar land area so I am about an hour away but it was worth the drive. The $15 dollars a person is a steal considering the amount of games they have. I cant wait to go back in a few weeks!

Nicest patrons ever! Very competent staff! Huge selection! Give very few 5 stars: wish I had a 6th to award! Do family plan, you will be back!. New Preserve opening near NASA this week! Great news! You are missing out if you havent tried !

This place used to be great. Over the last few months they’ve removed a lot of games (probably for their new location) and didn’t replace them. I went with a group of 4, expecting to get down on some 4 player games, but a lot were missing or broken. NBA jam player 1 broken, track and field could only be played by 2 players (our favorite game), the golden tee style games were broken (both of them), player 2 on Area 51 has never worked since I’ve been going there. They still have some good stuff, but not as good as it once was.

This place is so cool, when I lived closer I came frequently. The membership is totally worth it if you come more than twice a month. There are tons of retro arcade games and the biggest collection of pinball Ive seen. The atmosphere is awesome, at night they turn the black lights on. . Like taking a time machine back to the late 80s early 90s. If youre a child of the 80s, 90s and ever were into arcade games youve got to give this place a shot.

Good fun. Dont think just go.

I had been dying to find a REAL arcade. After finding The Game Preserve, I feel as though Ive struck gold.Modest $15 fee for full access to dozens of vintage and refurbished arcade cabinets & pinball machines? Heck yeah!Cheap beverages, snacks, and a BYOB policy for responsible adults? Double heck yeah!Monthly membership plans that include guest passes and incredible discounts? Triple heck yeah!Super friendly and knowledgeable staff and overall laid back family-friendly atmosphere? Heck yeah High Score!

I think it’s fun for a one time experience. However, half the machines didn’t work and the few that do are either always busy or are very obscure games that no one really plays. The pinball machines are decent though. I would give 4 stars if all the machines worked. Maybe the staff needs to hire an electrician and get them all fixed instead of just lounging about all day.

Awesome place to channel the experiences of your youth. Tons of authentic, classic arcade games and pinball machines as well as a jukebox filled with retro tunes. Its cheap and allows BYOB, its a great place to spend a few hours particularly in the heat of Houstons summer!

This place is awesome some of the games are way beyond my time. All of the arcade cabinets worked. The black like is a pretty good feature. Spent little over 4 hours going through all the games. Was an awesome time. Would recommend.

Pretty cool little place. TONS of pinball machines and old school arcade games. Unless youre willing to pay a monthly price, the cost is kind of high, but you do get unlimited gaming while youre there. You can bring your own drinks (alcoholic or non) inside and they have a few concessions available like drinks, candy, chips and icecream. The tables available arent anything fancy but they serve their purpose.

This was a really cool place!!! Lots of old games from the 80s and 90s!!! We will definitely be back!!!!

Old school fun. If you used to go to the arcade in the mall, you owe it to yourself to check out the Game Preserve.

Classic arcade games and pinball. Cant beat it, family & friends bring them all. And dont forget its BYOB for the moms and dads.

Wonderful place, nostalgic for me personally, I grew up during that era.

Really cool black light arcade! All kinds of pinball games and arcade games from the 80’s and up. Very nostalgic. Me and my boyfriend enjoyed it a lot. I met the owner and he helped us play a few games and gave us some history about some of the games. Very good place. 10/10 I would come back again.

Cool spot with arcade games and comic books. Definitely a spot to check out!

When you go 88 mph in a DMC-12 and the tires turn to flame, you end up at the Game Preserve in The Woodlands. Alien Syndrome, Gauntlet, Pole Position, SNES, War Gods, Xevious...5-stars.

Missile Command, Donkey Kong, & Street Fighter 2, is here. Pinball: GOT, Star Trek / Wars new machines. Need I say more? Presented in classic early 80s ambiance. Saturdays, the classics of 80s MTV play on a screen above. You remember, MEMBER? Peace!

Love everything about this place. All you can play games all day. Byob! Yes you can bring liquor! Can be a great date night or fun with friends. Oh and you can bring your own food too! They have tables to accommodate you to take a break and eat or chat with friends so many classic games as well. Over 30 pinball games. Such a unique concept.

Good time taking my son to show him the games I grew up on..

Sooo much fun. They have many good and some fun and fantastic pinball machines. The video games are crammed together such that people can barely get two, let alone three people in front of traditional Rampage.

Took our family there over the weekend and we all enjoyed it.

Enjoy going everytime. Each game is fun and will continue to make me go to play.

Awesome place to hang out for hours for just $15 per person. We always have a blast and the sodas and candy only $1 each.

Neat place, fun for the family. They have a lot of old arcade games and snacks. This was our second visit and we will be back for more!

Pretty cool place.Unfortunately, some adults think its ok to camp out on the video games.Some lady pulled up a stool and sat at Centipede for approximately 3 hrs.No one else got to play it the entire time my family was there.Games are in really good shape and there a lot of game selections, especially with the pinball machines.

Great time! I got the family package for a month, and some friends met us there, and I was able to get two of THEM in as my guests! $70 for 4 family, and 2 guests, and we play free for a month! Service was helpful, courteous, and immediate. Love this place, and their selection of games is pretty good too! Check them out!

Nostalgia Galore! Growing up and quarters in hand to play arcades as a kid brings memories for me 30+ years later. Now Im sharing some of the experiences I had with my boys. Cant beat the membership as Im sure I would have spent more than that in quarters in a single night. Its free play, so no need for quarters. Makes it easier to play and worry about change.

Bleeps & Blips. $$$$$ !! Awesome 80s arcade. Fabulously restored quarter arcade. Love it.

Has lots of old arcade games. Some even from the 70s. If you love 90s style games come here!

I love games and especially classic games, but I had a much better time than I thought I would at the arcade. My 13 year old daughter loved it too, and it was awesome to share with her the games I grew up with and see her really enjoy them as much as I did. Definitely going back again.

I love frequenting this place! The pinball machines are my favorite!

Step back in time. Great memories with these games

This is a fun place for kids to have fun with kids inside away from hot weather. The family pass is worth the cost. Just wish they had more options for non-gaming parents.

Great old school arcade! Would definitely return, although found out they are opening a new location closer to where I live. Will definitely be a frequent customer!

This is old school arcade games for 15 dollars a person great price good games my teenage grandchildren loved it

Very friendly staff, and very cool games! PiU The Prex 3 cabinet, and really every other cabinet there, are in really good condition. Definitely worth a visit if youre around the area.

Cant wait til you all open up again, hopefully all your games will be up and running with out many out of service.

All the old fashioned stand up coin operated arcade games and pinball machines. Stopped to get gift cards for stocking stuffers.

Great games. Comic store was unmatched

Super cool! Could be improved, but offered nostalgia at its finest. My 5 year old loved it too!

Finally, a real arcade thats all about the classics, nostalgia included Cant wait to come back!

I love this place. Best arcade (maybe only) in Houston. They have great pinball machines here. Machines from all decades, even some EM machines. Highly recommend coming here with your family and friends. Its BYOB and they have some snacks available there as well. Lots of arcade machines too. Please make the trip to keep this place busy!

I didnt know what to expect here but I really had fun here. Unfortunately Ninja Turtles wasnt working when I went, but it was still fun and theres a lot of great games to play.

Old school, and vintage. Cool place to take the kids.

Friendly staff. Arcade games and pinball machines are in good working order. Family atmosphere and very reasonably priced. We will be back.

Nostalgia....had a blast. Family friendly.

We had my sons birthday party here. The boys invited all loved it! There is a party room in the back that you can rent, and it was worth the extra money. We brought a slow cooker with barbequed beef for sandwiches and were able to keep our ice cream in the freezer and sodas in the refrigerator until called for. Just wish we had brought some coffee and cups for the adults, as there turned out to be a coffee maker as well. Staff was friendly and welcoming - great place for a party!

My sons birthday here was awesome

Cute little place with plenty of games to choose from. It was nice to be able to play games from my childhood at a very fair price. The staff was super helpful and sweet as well.

Several games out of order or with broken controls. Still had lots of classics that worked.

$15 a person all day pass..byob and food..old school arcades..pinball machines..kid friendly but more of n older crowd type of place thatll turn you into a kid lol will definitely be returning

I heard about this place a couple of months ago and finally made it there today. First of all there is nothing wrong with the lighting here. It is what an arcade should be like. I was a little disappointed at first because the first two games that I tried, Bump and Jump and Xevious, had issues but everything else I played was working well. Good variety of classic games and pinball. If I lived closer I could definitely see myself coming here more often. Everyone interested in the classics should try this place at least once.

It was an honor and a privilege to visit this arcade. The owner had a fantastic selection of vintage games. This blows any barcade out the water. Probably the best arcade I’ve ever been to

This arcade is probably one of the best around. Its laid back with some sort of classic jam playing in the back. Its relatively cheap for what you get and its late hours allows me to get in a good couple hours in after a long work day. Definitely worth at least one visit.

Awesome place, we will be back!

Had a decent game selection price is reasonable to play as much as you want but it seemed half of the pinball machines were turned off from being out of order and some of the arcades were in desperate need of some work lot of monitors out of adjustment colors off and some buttons not operating on some machines if all that was functioning or only a few that were down then 5 star without a doubt

Love this place! Great selection of games, including some old, mechanical pinball machines. They keep machines well-maintained and the price is reasonable.

I love this place, me and my husband when as they charged $35 for a month worth of games, we were both able to go 5 different times and play from opening till about an hour or two before closing. It was great. I love it and my husband said it brought back a lot of memories for him. They even have a little comic book inside the arcade which is great. They had pinball machines lined up.The only con i would see of this place is that it gets a little dark at nighttime which causes the pinball machines to be harder to use at night.It allows your own food and drink which is great but we always buy one or two candy bars for the fact that they allow their prices to be so cheap!

I have been here twice...i love this place. So retro for us 80s 90s kids. Love the music. 15 bucks to relive my child hood and i came play as much as i want. As a matter of fact im bringing my best friend here for his birthday so he can feel like a kid again. Thank you!!!
