VR Arcade Mode: 1 Hour

Families absolutely light up at this arcade, and it's easy to see why. The game selection hits the sweet spot across generations, with everything from classic cabinets like Street Fighter II and Ms. Pac-Man to pinball machines and VR experiences that groups love. Parents consistently mention having just as much fun as their kids, which speaks volumes about the variety on offer. The staff gets regular praise for being helpful and attentive, particularly during birthday parties where they really shine. The food surprises people in a good way, with several reviewers calling out how tasty and reasonably priced the concessions are. It's clearly well-maintained and clean, with the bonus of regularly adding new games to keep things fresh. A few machines occasionally go down (inevitable with heavy use), and some wish the hours were more extensive. Birthday parties run around $300, which is standard for the industry and includes pizza and treats. This is genuinely one of those rare spots where the 13-year-old and the 46-year-old can both find something engaging.
