I would love to see the electric bill - I can only imagine what it must be for the largest arcade…read morein the world with over 850 playable arcade cabinets. Speaking of, how wonderful is it that this place exists? Far too many modern places are drink-focused enough that games have cup-holders, the games themselves have giant, modern LCD screens with the brightness and color turned way up, and all this for about $1.50-$2.00 a game that lasts a minute, 90 seconds at best, and does not require much skill (with alcohol, I suppose they want something winnable even while a little inebriated). This is to say nothing of the games where the goal is to win tickets to exchange for prizes - don't get me started on the shenanigans at play. Galloping Ghost has arcade games where a simple joystick and a couple buttons is all you need. There are some older shoot the screen games, and other retro games as well. Let's say that none have a modern, flat-screen, and all are old enough to use CRT (Tube) Screens. Given their age, the games are kept in very good shape! I also love that Galloping Ghost is about the love of the games, and not about the love of liquor with games being an excuse to drink. There are bottled sodas available for sale, but not cup-holders, alcohol, or food. Even gum is forbidden. This also has the effect of being a community icon! When I visited, there was a gathering of furries (not something I engage in, but power to you!) I haven't even gotten to the best part: $25 for all day, all-you-can-play access. Open from 11am to midnight (or 2am Friday & Saturday night). The ticket allows you access throughout the day, so you can come and go as you please. Better still, an extra $5 gets you access to all-you-can-play pinball a couple blocks down the street. Also a good selection of fun machines somewhere between retro and modern Stern. Final verdict: While Chicagoland has some arcades with free-play, and some even don't require an entrance fee, these, despite a modest selection revolve around booze. Galloping Ghost is a dying breed that exists to test your skills, maybe set a record if you're that good, and hang out. All this, for a very reasonable entrance fee.

I love video games. Always have. When I found out that the largest arcade in America was near…read moreChicago, I had to stop. Here is what I liked and didn't like about this place. Liked - Over 900+ games. I mean, just by sheer numbers, that is impressive as hell! Every game you can think of, and then some. So many games I had never heard of before. - Unlimited play with entry. - Its like an interactive video game museum, pretty much. Didn't Like - $25.00 to get in. Wish they had a "by the hour" type pricing. I was there for about 3 hours, and I probably just broke even, money wise, on the games I actually played. - Almost TOO MANY games if there is a such a thing. I spent half my time walking around looking at the different games instead of just sitting down playing them. - Hot inside. Little bit stuffy in there, and it wasn't even that crowded. Couldn't imagine if the place was packed during the Summer months. - Some broken/unplayable games. Most of them I tried worked, but there were a few where the controller was jacked, or certain buttons didn't respond/work well. Would I come back? Yeah, maybe. I'm glad I got to see it, and was impressed by the sheer number of games they have. I just didn't have as much "fun" as I thought I would for the $25.00 entry fee.

They are always broken, won't reset pins, knocks down your pins before you finish your frame, ball won't/can't return, screws up scores, etc. It's almost comical going here because the equipment acts like it's possessed and you never know what kind of batshit crazy stuff is going to happen. Not good if you're a serious bowler. Even for novices, it is incredibly irritating. The staff tries to keep up but it is difficult for them. Seems short handed for the number of occurrences that need attending to each time we go here. Unfortunate because we like the location and the staff - they try really hard to keep up with equipment issues.

Long story short, if you go there use a garbage ball you can throw out, you don't want your $165 ball destroyed like mine was.

All they did was apologize and didn't take the time to multitask between everyone for a fair experience, first time I came I got drinks and the pineapple calipsco is good but not worth waiting for as I came a second time. Arcade is fun won lots of plushies, Bowling/Bar 0/10. Managers or whoever was there also doesn't seem to care about waiting customers, it wasn't even busy and they still weren't assisting us by the way. Could definitely improve service, also burned half the pizza. Also missed out of 90% of bowling from waiting.

This place is definitely not as clean as Naperville. I'm also glad that we didn't spring for the bigger package because half the stuff wasn't running. The worst part was we walked in at 4:25pm and by 6pm they told us our bands had expired even though at the sign in the front it says we get two hours. They wouldn't even sell my kid a coke on the way out the door. They also came on the intercom several times and told people to make sure parents had paid if they were on the trampolines and to be respectful of the employees. Shows the kind of demographic this place attracts. The shining star was the girl working the front counter. She was very nice. The security guard wearing what appeared to be a bulletproof vest was a little extreme. It's definitely a "no" for me.

First off, this is a 5-star movie, and somehow we were the only people in the theater. Completely empty. No crying kids, no chatter, no distractions. Was I confused? A little. Complaining? Absolutely not. I was thrilled. The theater itself is very clean and well-maintained. The sound is excellent, the 3D effects are impressive, and the brightness of the screen is just right--clear, crisp, and very easy on the eyes. Honestly, the movie space alone made the experience feel premium and inviting. The staff was friendly and welcoming, which I appreciated. That said... the beer prices? $18 for one beer? Respectfully--no. Hard pass. I'm very glad I stopped at Hooters beforehand for a reasonably priced one. Some things just don't need to be that ambitious. Concessions were a mixed bag. The popcorn was extremely salty, and the beverages were flat, which was disappointing. But in the grand scheme of things, the actual movie-watching experience is what matters most--and that part delivered. All in all, a quiet, comfortable, high-quality viewing experience. Empty theater, great sound, great visuals. I'll take that any day.
