We generally head to D&B in the big city, but we decided to try something new. This place is awesome. Lots of new games and TONS of old retro games... and of course, pinball. My son went nuts. It also felt like we got more bang for our buck. The newer game costs were on par, but the retros were very cost effective.
We absolutely loved it!! All the effects in all the games were amazing, the variety of all the games between old and new games was fantastic and the staff was really nice and polite. The game prices are a little high, but we will definitely be back with the rest of the family!!
Fantastic place for the whole family!! Great and fun environment with a little bit of the old school and new school games. There is everything for the whole family and more. We will definitely be back.
If you are older, you will enjoy this place the most out of anyone. If you grew up in an arcade, they do have a small selection of cabinets for you, but do not expect anything crazy. I'd compare it to a less family oriented version of Main Event and a more mature Chuck-E-Cheese. Fun for date night, but most of said fun will come from each other and not as much from the place itself. Pinballz is a great place, if you enjoy go karting or bumper cars they have that much like Austin's Park N Pizza, if you enjoy arcade games to bring you some nostalgia they have that too, and if you want the main event experience for less, this is not a bad way to go. Overall, while it may have Arcade in the title, that doesn't limit it nor specialize it to just an arcade.
The original Pinballz is where it's at. I love the dingy feel of this place and that tokens can still be used. Lots of amazing classic cabinets. Mostly very well taken care of and employees are quick to action if one is messing up or ate your tokens. So fun and BYOB! I always feel so nostalgic and full of glee coming here
