Such a fun place for all ages! I figured my big kid would have fun, but I didnt know if my toddler would have much to do. He had a blast riding the kiddie rides, using the claw machines and playing air hockey with his big sis!

Love this place. Really brings me back to my days hanging out in the arcade. It is also a safe and sober place for kids as well. Gives special discounts to non profits. Really cant say enough good about this place.

We had an AMAZING experience! My bachelor party was completely sidetracked and we had to emergency plan, the good people here worked with us and made it a fantastic night of throwback games, pinball and great conversations! We live over an hour away and we will make the trek back just to go here again! Cant recommend them enough!

Havent been there since my friend Tery passed away.The ownerr himself actually recognized me, even greeted my son when we came in. (Which was very awesome)He quickly had someone assist and help us.Place is very clean and vibrant, with a huge selection of video games to pruchase and arcade cabinets to play and/or purchase.The staff was very friendly and very helpful, also very patient with my son (My son has Autism, so he has a tendency to grab things he shouldnt or try to climb things he shouldnt)Found Pokemon Pinball and Pokemon Mystery Dungeon Red Rescue team. Both games work perfectly!Will definitely be returning in the early future to do further shopping.

Ive never owned a pinball machine, but realized a childhood dream of buying my own pinball and playing unlimited without quarters in my basement.I bought a vintage Joker Poker machine, and it came in great working condition with some normal wear and tear charm.The overall experience was great. Staff was very helpful and easy to work with. Never having owned a pinball, I was a little nervous about taking the leap into ownership. They were eager to answer my questions and offer continued support after I got it set up in my basement.Would highly recommend!

Was looking for a place that has a “good” collection of NES games. Went in looking for 2 games and came out with 3! This place had that and then some, pricing was fair and Tim (owner I believe) was very helpful. Next time I’m in EC I’ll be back!

We decided on having a private birthday party here because of covid. Highly recommend this place. The staff and owner were amazing! They were very accommodating and had tables all set for us and went as far as decorating with balloons. They went above and beyond to make sure we had a great time. Everyone had a great time from the grandparents to our 4 year old. Definitely something for everyone. It was our first time and well absolutely be going back.

We came here for a birthday party and I have to say, what a cool place to do a party. We all had such a fun time playing a big variety of games like pinball, air hockey, racing games, and old arcade cabinets. Plus we had the place all to ourselves. What a good party!

Very inviting and my 8 year old daughter loves this place too. It’s our favorite spot to come as a family. The owner Tim Sexton is a great guy. I had him as my Psychology Professor in college.

Went not to long ago, and it was a blast!For games they have all types of pinball machines, and lots of classic other games to play. My friends and I sat on TMNT for quite awhile to be honest!They also offer snacks, Ice cream, and all types of sodas!When youre all done you can check out their own little game store with some rarer games that you dont see everyday anymore.Was really nice to see, and be around. (nostalgic)Even with Covid everyone was spaced out, and masked up. Impressed!(also Staff, and owner are very nice/hard working)

This is the spot! 15 bucks, all you can game. Come and go as you please, all day after initial payment. That 15 bucks is it. All games are free to play, for as long as you like. Very impressed with their content here. Their pinball machines are on point. They have at least 3 pinball machines that are in every online critics top 10. Attack from Mars ($8.5k)AC/DC($7.5k) and the number 1, or sometimes the number 2 on every list The Adams Family($10k). Very impressed with the friendly staff, and the please make yourself at home environment. Spoke extensively with the owner. He says that business couldnt be better, and this is only 1 of three successful locations. They are growing with this very simple business model, and I hope that others follow this example. Why? Because Id love to have something like this near my home town. Cant wait to go back today, for my 3rd consecutive visit!

Tim Sexton is the owner. A wonderful man. Had him for psychology in college. We needed an arcade for Eau Claire Wisconsin for a long time. This is the only one in town. Also, for your money well worth it. Highly recommend this establishment for all your gaming experiences. Thank you Tim.

Its a pretty awesome place. You need a wristband to play, but theres no cost just to go look around. They have virtually any video game and console you can imagine available for purchase. Theres a classic arcade game room thats like stepping back in time...or into Wreck it Ralph :D. Definitely a place to visit! You wont be disappointed.

Having a place to go and play board games is Amazing!! Here they are clean, nice, and have plenty of sodas and snacks to pick from to keep you going 😜!! I think anyone, from a major gamer to a brand new board game player, will feel welcome and have fun! Buy some food or games to support this great business 💖👍👍!

Great place for birthday parties or just hanging out!! Today we had our sons 8th birthday party here (we had his party here last year). The kids and adults both had a blast! Wide variety of games to play, as well as some available for purchase, something for everyone!! Definitely recommend reserving a table downstairs for parties, easier to keep an eye on the kids. Last year we had a table upstairs. Such a great time, kids will sleep well tonight! 😊 Thank you for such a great experience.

It was so awesome! I dont even know how many hours we spent here but its unlimited play time for 15 dollars. The owner and staff were super friendly. Food was delicious and they had an upstairs where you can just sit and play board games that they have ready for you to grab for hours. Definitely will be coming back here!!

This place seems fantastic. We just stopped in to check it out and buy a retro game, but didnt stick around to play games. After having seen the place, we will definitely be back to take advantage of all the great arcade and pinball games.Came back to say we actually checked it out. Its a whole lot of fun and really worth the price. We had a great time, and well be back for sure.

FUN! Lots of video games! Plus a nice selection of pinballs. Good place for kids! I always see a bunch of kids and adults upstairs playing different board games. I have used the PS4 virtual gear and it is another fun “thing” to do at this arcade. They also have a great selection of soda pop. Lots of different kinds. If you feel the urge, you can also buy arcade related toys, games and art. Overall a very fun place to hang out for a couple hours!!!

Was fun, lots of old time games for old timers like me. I guess if I was a student it would be great fun(and cheaper than drinking). Owners were friendly and helpful, even got the nickle tour.

Super awesome place. Some classics. Lots of pinball. Great area for board game/card game players. Its relatively cheap as well. As of 8/3/18 it was 15$ for all day play for an adult at 12$ for a 12 year old.

Review №57

Went here for my birthday with my husband. It’s a great place for nostalgia with lots of pinball and retro arcade games. However, I took a star off because the cost is about $15 to get in for one person. Which I can see being worth it if you plan on being there for 5 hours or so, but I lose interest after two hours. Price was just to high for me.

This place has everything. Great line-up of old school arcade games and modern pinball. All machines are clean and error free. They also have tabletop gaming events and sell cards and miniatures. $15 admission armband gets you access to everything, no quarters needed. They also have a great selection of gourmet sodas and a snack bar. Family-friendly, great staff, and beautiful space. They even have a Guitar Hero studio and a VR setup!

This is a great place for family time. Tired of fishing? Rainy day blues? Want to do something different with your kids? There is a lot of fun waiting here. From video to board games.

$15 for all you can play arcade games, pinball, and board games. they also have a snack bar, you can order a pizza from next door, and they also have a used video game store inside. Staff was awesome. we got a tour of the whole place from the owner when we walked in and spent a whole afternoon there. We even beat Double Dragon.

Review №69

I really enjoyed this place! I went there on a Tuesday afternoon with my 12-year-old son. We were there for 2 hours, and played probably 100 rounds of pinball. The classic 80s room of arcade games is also a fun touch, a trip down memory lane. They sell sodas and candy, fun things that you cant get just anywhere. My only complaint, one that they have no control over, is that everything is two hour parking downtown. So if youre going to stay more than 2 hours, make sure you move your car. Great fun place for everyone!

Review №70

It is by far one of the best arcades Ive been to and they sell games from the of Nintendo to the Xbox one its amazing here theres a whole room dedicated to guitar hero and another for classic arcade games. I highly recommend checking this place out they charge half price for your first visit.

Review №71

All day play for one low price and theres no counting tickets for silly, cheap prizes?!? Count me in! $15 for adults and $12 for children with Mondays & Tuesdays being 1/2 price days. Small snacks, candy and beverages are available for purchase, but they do not have a food menu which was a bit disappointing. Staff was friendly, bathrooms were super clean.

Whether youre going in for a day of playing magic, Pokemon or force of will or whether you just want to hang out and play some video games, the district is the place to go.

Review №87

For the people complaining about the prices, the building they are using is probably more expensive- its certainly bigger, and all the new stuff they added they need to pay for in some way! I do agree though that reserving the console room downstairs is a bit annoying but there are two rooms upstairs that you can hook up your consoles/computer to and use as long as it isnt reserved and it rarely is if you get there early. Im happy that they moved, its a much better place except for the fact that the console gaming room is much,much smaller,and that brings a load of problems by itselfPros:More open, consoles provided and free of chargeAbility to put down custom ordersThey have an arcadeCONS:Console gaming room is very small,gets hot quickly and very loud quickly-Me and a few mates had to leave due to us getting headaches beforeNo PCs-maybe theyll use the upstairs room for that soon?I will be coming over a lot more! keep it up!

Not many places for kids to hang out these days, but this place is perfect for it. They offer all day wrist bands for$12-15( half price Monday and Tuesday) which includes lots of video games and pinball machines. We usually go there to enjoy one of their many retro sodas. They rotate their sodas so there is always a new kind to try each time we are there. They also offer food and snacks (burgers,fries,pizza, ect.). If you are in to cards, I think they have gaming upstairs as well. The Owner seems to be a good person, and every time we have been there,he has always been very accommodating.
