  • This place was awesome! My son had his 11th birthday party there & I would definitely recommend. It is $10 per person but you are welcome to stay & play as long as you like & there are several games to choose from such as pinball, air hockey, Mortal Kombat, Nintendo games Mario & Super Smash Bros, then there is a Foosball table too. It's lots of fun & affordable.

  • Absolutely a blast. So many retro games and it only cost ten bucks at the door. If you grew up in the 80s or 90s it's such a awesome trip down memory lane.
