Absolutely fantastic place. Brings back a lot of good memories of playing the arcade cabinet at my local Chinese buffet growing up. The selection here is of course much larger and incredibly varied. I'd love to see some additional stuff come in, like some of the older anime based games, but can't complain. If you're in the area, come on by! read more

Arcade Monsters - Gaming area, dining area - Arcades Near Me - Orlando, Florida

This place was a BLAST! We came on a Sunday morning just after opening and there were only two other people there. Even when we left around 1 PM, there were only a handful of people there. I assume it would get busy into the evening/late night hours. We played every pinball machine! They had probably 25? They have numerous racing games, dance games, ski ball, basketball, classics like Street Fighter, Donkey Kong, Galaga and more! $25 for unlimited play is a steal if you do it right! read more

My husband and I had to swear off arcades for our girls because they're all cash-grab, ticket-spewing, crane-machine-infested, soulless voids. We'd walk into "arcades" with our well-behaved rational children and walk out with overstimulated, enraged, tiny tyrants. Arcade Monsters is different. Arcade Monsters is what we millennials (and older generations) grew up with, but that doesn't mean it's outdated. You want to play Mario Kart World on Switch 2? They've got it. But they've also got DDR, Guitar Hero, every kind of pinball you could possibly want, air hockey, House of the Dead, basketball, ski-ball, Luigi's Mansion, Tetris, bowling, Bop It, Galaga... and it's all-you-can-play for $25. No more buying cards with X number of points, and each game costs 6-12 points per play. You truly can't beat this deal. Nor can you beat the ambience, the decor, the food, and the customer service from the awesome employees. It's like someone who actually loves games and arcades as they're supposed to be built this place and found people to work here who actually want people coming in to have a good time. I can't recommend it enough, especially during these scorching hot summer months! read more

So I was mainly interested in their Rythm Games. I like that they have beer and a good selection of games. A few suggestions for Jubeat, I think the drink holders should be on the side; mounting in the front makes it lean forward and get in the way. Also need to install headphone jack. Whole place is very noisy. Left machine compensated with high volume, but kinda hurt my ears. Right machine is barely audible. Left machine buttons seem well maintained and very responsive, right machine needs some buttons replaced. I was also sad to see that the In The Grove machine was out of order. I was pretty excited to see a piece of history. But impressive list of dancing games, including a beautiful step mania x machine. Overall I might try one of the other locations to compare. I appreciate what they're trying to go for, and its refreshing to not see just another D&B clone. read more

Arcade Monsters is hands down one of the coolest spots I've visited in Orlando. The atmosphere is incredible!! Whether you're into retro arcade games, pinball, modern gaming, or just looking for a fun place to hang out with friends, there's something for everyone. The entire venue has a unique vibe that blends nostalgia with an energetic and welcoming environment. What really stood out was the service. The staff was friendly, attentive, and seemed genuinely excited about creating a great experience for guests. Even with the place being busy, they were helpful and made sure everything was running smoothly. Didn't get to try the food, but there were so many drinks to try! Everything we ordered came out fresh and exceeded expectations, making it easy to spend several hours here without needing to leave for a meal. They also have a switch near the bar for super smash bros! Favorite game of all time! read more

Arcade Monsters is the best arcade in the state, and this location is the best Arcade Monsters of them all. There is so much space, even at the height of the crowd, you can find a fun game to play. You can break down your day into categories of games. We had a pinball segment, a shooting one, sports, old school arcade, Mario Kart on the Switch 2 dart, it just went on forever. It could have kept going, but we had dinner reservations to keep. Ambiance is absolutely awesome. Brilliant, electric murals cover every single inch of space. There isn't any blankness on any wall, not even in the restroom. It's wild, and it's great. There's some food options, but it's like, dumb stuff for kids. Pizza, chicken tenders, etc. So if you want to spend a whole day here, get the pass that lets you leave and come back. Unless you're into frozen nuggets. The drink game is strong, though. They have a ton of mixers that are delicious on their own, and can be mixed with some booze, too, if you'd like. Overall, there is all positives here and no negatives. I come to Monsters pretty often, and I suspect I will forever more. read more

Pros: Every single inch of wall of this place is plastered with absolutely stunning murals of all fandoms one could think of. Also, every square foot of floor space is crammed with wonderful and fun arcade games that will keep you busy for hours. We were there for literally six hours and only had to go for our dinner reservations. They have a nice little selection of beers, and a really nice selection of sweet slushy bases you can add harder liquor to. Really good bar. Cons: No real cons. Some would say the price, but for what you're getting here, I would think the price very reasonable. Tips: Arrive early, because during peak hours, this place can get really packed and it can get hard to find a free game. read more

I walked into Arcade Monsters - 6362 International Drive and immediately felt my inner 12-year-old sprint past my adult responsibilities, flip them off, and dive headfirst into 1987. This place is not an arcade. It's an all-you-can-play, quarter-free, neon-lit time machine--and thank God--because if I had to feed this thing fistfuls of quarters like we did in the Reagan era, I'd need a second mortgage and a therapist. You're greeted at the door, stamped like you're entering a punk show or an underground fight club, and suddenly--boom--you're in. No coins. No timers. No nickel-and-diming. Just pure, uncut joystick freedom. Capitalism takes a smoke break and joy runs the room. Let's talk history for a second--because this matters. Arcades were the cathedrals of the 1980s. Dark rooms, glowing screens, electronic music buzzing like a bad decision. Pac-Man, Galaga, Donkey Kong--these weren't games, they were rites of passage. You learned patience, rage control, and humility watching your name slide off the high-score list five minutes after you set it. Arcade Monsters resurrects that world--but without the cruelty of quarters. Air hockey tables slapping louder than bar arguments. Zoltar staring into your soul like he knows what you did in 1994. Pac-Man chomping away like rent is due. Japanese cabinets you've never seen outside of Tokyo or YouTube rabbit holes--beautiful, strange, and completely unforgiving. And yes--everything is here. The classics. The weird stuff. The "how is this even a game?" stuff. Pinball. Fighters. Rhythm games. Cabinets that smell like nostalgia and Mountain Dew. The vibe? Chaotic. Loud. Joyful. Slightly unhinged. The crowd ranges from nostalgia-drunk Gen-Xers reliving their glory days, to kids discovering that fun existed before microtransactions ruined everything, to grown adults locked in mortal Kombat combat like honor is on the line. And the entrance? Let's just say you're welcomed in with confidence and spectacle, like the place knows exactly what it is--and isn't apologizing for it. You're stamped, you're in, and the night belongs to you. There is food also. No need to leave. I was the only one pulling out my phone at this nightclub. It made the atmosphere just that much nicer to plug and unplug. read more

My son says this is a fire experience. I would agree. We love to spend several hours in here and find that it's well worth the amount that we pay. You can honestly spend half a day in here, playing all of the games and still want to play more. The fact that there is a restaurant there means that you can eat, grab something to drink, and go back and play. Everyone has been very friendly. Fair warning that they don't do Apple Pay. I left my credit card at home once and the door guy had to pay for me and I had to Venmo him lol but that was super nice of him to do. It's a great way to spend a rainy day in Orlando and there is something for everyone in here. You can bring the whole family and even the grandparents will have a good time. As for me, I can spend two hours playing their pinball machines. No exaggeration on that number. If you haven't been to arcade monsters, you have to go. read more

Arcade Monsters - Arcades Near Me - Orlando, Florida

We came for my son's 13th birthday and I would say this place is worth the $25 per person admission. It's unlimited games and there a lots of different kinds of games to choose from. You can easily blow through $25 at other arcades and be done in 30 minutes. You can spend all day here and play as much as you want. We all enjoyed it and would recommend this place for a fun time! read more

What an amazing arcade! I had so much fun here with all my friends ! The artwork is stunning, it covers all the walls, and even glows !

I decided to try out the arcade monsters on international Drive as a small birthday celebration with friends. They claim that this location is the largest- perhaps in square footage? They have really high ceilings and to me this made the building a little bit warmer than I would've liked. They have the high-movement/ dance/ rhythm games towards the back with lower ceilings, making it even warmer. We saw on their website there was an option to reserve a table. we thought this made a lot of sense just to make sure that our friends had a space to sit down. They only let you reserve for a few hours at a time for about $25. I think it makes a lot of sense if you are a larger group and you're planning on purchasing food at the venue. They did clarify that you were able to bring in a celebrate dessert- but no other outside food was allowed. They have a bunch of high tops scattered there are the building. Maybe it just happened to be the time that we were there, but I don't think that reserving a table for us was necessarily beneficial. Overall, everything was clean. Tables and stations had hand sanitizers that people could use. They have a large offering of drink drinks as well and almost every game has a place for where you can put your drink down safely. It was a great time for novice and advanced gamers. read more

Such a fun place. From the wall art to all the arcade games. This place has it all. They have a small food and drinks area. We tried the chicken tenders with 5 different dipping sauces and they were surprisingly good. They have a small selection of beers a frozen drinks which is nice. The staff was friendly at eye food counter. There's a good variety of arcade games for all ages. The bathrooms were pretty cool and most importantly clean! read more

This is mostly a pinball review, that's what I came here to do. Found on pinball maps, perhaps I should have looked more closely about game conditions. Did read on Yelp that the machines were, lets say well used. There is one row with two sides of machines about 26 total. There was a technician working on Kong, several others had out of service signs. Jaws left flipper was broken. Other machines had minor glitches but very playable. John Wick, Bond, Foo Fighters were working well. I played a few more favorites so def got my monies worth at $25 plus tax and tip, yup there was a tip scren option on CC machine. No problem, throw the hostess a couple. They did have a lot of retro games Donky Kong, Frogger, Ms P , centipede. Those were fun, nostalgic and frustrating how hard they are now vs when you were a kid and could Rip Def had some fun , new & big video games /multi player racers in several varieties, many being played by a group. The punching bag was super popular, but right in the way of moving around. Same thing with the dart board. Restroom was clean Food & Drinks available. Pretty dark inside at least for the darker pinball games made it hard to see with old man eyes. The younger crowd was having a blast playing a wide variety of options. Probably a star upgrade if i wasn't specifically looking for pinball to be fair. read more

Everything is free play once u pay $25 to enter. It's $35 for in and outs! I recommend this place 100% There's alcoholic beverages and snacks (cheese fries, pizza, chicken strips, like little type snacks like that) and you can do frozen drinks without alcohol and they have non alcoholic beverages too. This place is fun for the whole family or a date night or anything! Its black light vibes and almost any game you can think of. They do have vending machines for an extra price and I saw a Photo Booth. The service is great too! There's not really prizes like at a chuckee cheese so don't expect that. But it's great! read more

Pretty fun arcade with lots of games! Admission is $25 per person to play unlimited games. They had good drink flavors. I tried the blue raspberry slushie with a double shot and it was sweet and strong. The All Hallows Treat imperial chocolate peanut butter stout was delicious! Even though the drinks were decently priced, I didn't like that there was a service charge of 2.2%. I don't recommend getting the jello shots since they were basically liquid and pre-packaged. There was pinball, skee-ball, racing games, Super Smash Bros, and many others games. They also had three pool tables and several air hockey tables. Fun place to go with friends or for a date night! read more

I was shocked walking into this arcade at how big it was because arcades are usually on the smaller side. The inside is so cool! It's dark, with neon graffiti and murals of characters creating a feeling that you are in a 80's yet modern arcade. There was a huge variety of games and even a back room with at least 10 music/dance specific games. They had Super Smash Bros, basketball, skeeball, vehicle motion games, an abundance of racing games, several pool tables, several air hockey tables, shooting games, vintage game machines and pinball machines. There was also a small claw machine room. This place is huge and has everything! After 2 hours, I still felt like I hadn't played everything. For drinks I had a Jell-O shot but it was pre-packaged, spilled a lot when opened, and not fully solid. The custom drink menu, however, is a great idea to allow people to try different drink combinations and they offer each flavor in a regular cocktail form or frozen form. They also give you the option to make your drink a single, double or triple for an added price. I had two frozen drinks. For both drinks I got doubles and it was worth it because they were both perfectly strong and not too expensive. They were slightly too sweet but still had good flavor and got the job done. Lastly, I love that this arcade was very LGBTQ+ friendly. I'll definitely be coming back. read more

Honey and I decided to come here on our most recent date night (more like day date). It's located on I-Drive in a pretty busy area which made me worry about traffic and parking; but neither were bad. Traffic was pretty tamed although it's Christmas break and parking was ample in their designated customer only lot. We came on a Monday around 1:30 pm and it wasn't that busy. Entry is $25 for unlimited play with no re-entry and $35 if you wish to re-enter. I'm not sure what the cost is if you decided to not do unlimited play or if it's an option. There was a small service fee of 2.2% which a saw a few complaints about, but it wasn't that bad. There isn't much to say about the service...other than the young lady at the entrance we didn't see or interact with any of the employees. It's kinda a "you do your own thing" type of place. We checked out the food and drink menu but didn't try anything since we were having lunch after. The food tables were empty, no one was eating and the stoves/burner in the food area were off. There are quite a few games. They have arcade games, there's ping pong machines, 2 pool tables, air hokey, basketball, football, bowling game (I think that what it's called ) and a few Japanese games. We were planning to stay one hour but got caught up in the fun and ended up spending close to 3 hours. The only thing that could of made it better is more game options that would of allowed us to be more competitive. I love proving to Honey time and time again that I'm the "Champion" and that I did! Ohhhh and the bathrooms are so cool! read more
