Great games and ice cream. Kids had a blast. Some of the games are a little pricey so bring extra quarters.

Place is super cool, they have an ice cream bar and arcade games. My daughter had a blast there and they have some coin machines to get stickers and trinkets too. You can also buy quarters at the counter for the games, I like that you don't have to buy a game card. The place isn't huge but it's super cute and fun

The nostalgia in this place is through the roof. It brings me back to the arcades of my childhood and the people who run it seem really nice too. It's clearly a passion project by people who love arcades. That being said, the building they chose for it is way too small. They packed a good number of games in, but you'll sometimes have to step over people's legs or ask them to move just to walk by. Also, the price of almost every game worth playing is $1 which seems like a lot for usually less than a minute of play. Most of the games are older and in disrepair or have washed out screens. One of the racing games my kids played only one side worked and the car on the working side didn't seem to turn correctly. The games that are $0.50 are the ones most arcade lovers have on emulators at home. We went weeks ago and I forgot to post this review so hopefully some of this has been rectified. If I were running this place I would get rid of some of the larger machines taking up a lot of the limited area available - football toss, racing, etc. - and lean into the classics. Also make the pricing a little more reasonable. It's hard to see the value here when you can go to a place like Chuck E. Cheese and get unlimited play on more machines for less money.

Also known as Hershey's Ice Cream, this place is almost blink and you'll miss it if you're driving north on Rochester Road. Which is odd, since the sign is so big and the parking lot is a very good size. As a fan of arcade and pinball games, I decided to check it out last weekend. As advertised the placed is packed in with about 80% of the space with old arcade shooters and games like Asteroids, Galaga, and there was even a Simpsons' arcade game from 1991 ($0.50 per play). The rest of the space is classic ice cream parlor. I grabbed a malt from the very friendly lady behind the counter and made my way through with a roll of quarters. Great for a quick escape and some nostalgia play. Recommend stopping by with a roll of quarters or two.

Hidden gem! Very small but packed full of games. Pinball, shooting games, driving games... FYI to parents this is not games for tickets situation. Great Hershey's ice cream, including ice cream cakes. Some fun flavors. I had capuccino crunch in a waffle cone, and my partner got a Boston cooler. He says it's one of the better Boston coolers he's had (whatever that means). They have the whole grassy lot behind, and there are picnic tables, so it's perfect for a birthday or just for adults to hang with friends.
