Love this arcade. The gamees are great, the pinball tables are well maintained, and the staff are always super friendly. The prices are amazing for complete free play on all of the games!

$15. But almost 50% of the machines were DOWN.
Of those, all have the sound turned off, not great for games that need or at least, have awesome soundtracks.
Retro, or rundown.
Let’s just blast garbage jukebox music!?!!!

Omg, this place is amazing. Stepping inside is like going back in time 30+ years and being given an unlimited amount of quarters. We finally beat the X men game, and I'm pretty sure gauntlet is never ending because at level 20 is was still going. The coolest part for me was all the pinball machines and the crown jewel was the Metallica pin ball machine. Lots of nostalgia, and it's a blast to take the whole family to. It's heart warming getting to play games with the kiddos that we played as kids and see them fall in love with playing them as well. Pricing is more than reasonable and well worth the money. 10/10, I would highly recommend this place to any who are still children at heart, or fellow gen x that just want to revisit their childhood.

I had a great time with my pre-teen and teenage kids, we LOVE this place!! I also appreciated that it is flat-rate, limitless gaming without being scammed using game tokens like everywhere else. It truly is a 70s/80s time capsule, and I think it needs to be cherished and supported by the community, or we will lose it! Yes, several games or pinball machines may be down at a time, but you have to consider that these are ancient machines, that were already prone to wear and tear when they were new, but even more so now that they are 40-50 years old, and maintenance is extremely complex, time consuming and costly. Why else do you think pinball and retro arcades in general have vanished? It is hardly profitable as a business, and no one wants to put in the work anymore, so it really is a testament to the craftsmanship, devotion and genuine passion for these retro games by the owner (and anyone who works there) that this place is open for us to enjoy. For that, I am very thankful....Keep up the great work!

Good fun, If your a pin player you will love and not love this place. 1 price for all day pass ($15) Great mix of pins (22) from woodrail to it's newest game (Deadpool). They don't seem to care if the games get cleaned or not.

Byob is pretty cool. Lots of games, with about 8 down. A few had bad controls or glitches, but most worked well. Staff was friendly enough. I liked the free music controls. Overall, it was a great day of gaming, and we enjoyed the place. I fo wish they had a little more pinball. Hallway entrance was epic!

Tons of fun! Family friendly. I like that it is a BYO food and drink situation, and they do have light snacks for purchase. The place is clean and provides hand sanitizer. The game selection is excellent, including the pin ball! It’s $15 to enter and then totally free play as long as you want. I took off one star because about 10% of the games (including maybe 50% of the ~30 pin ball machines) were non-functional/shut off. But we still had a great time and will come again.

My son asked to go retro gaming and we wanted to try out The Game Preserve just outside Houston. We loved all the arcades and pinball machines. It’s a good way to have family fun! 😊
