Too many broken down games and run down building. It does have 1 functioning ski ball and basketball game though.

Had a birthday party there for my 5 year old. Overall it was great, and the staff was very helpful. Only complaint is there is always a decent amount of games totally out of order or only partially working. Would be 5 stars if they could fix some games that are basically there for storage and never seem to get fixed.

Great service, Covid safe and kid friendly. Go early in the morning to avoid the cowards. Bag of $5 last a good 2-3 hours of fun.
