This was... interesting. I had no idea what Pachinko was all about but after reading the entry on…read moreAtlas Obscura https://www.atlasobscura.com/places/pachinko-world, I had to stop by. I spent about 15 minutes learning how pachinko works and then playing through $10 worth of pachinko balls. The object is to shoot the balls (basically ball bearings) so that they land in the right spot to win prizes. The moving parts are all behind glass so there's no danger but there are lots of flashing lights, ringing bells and interesting animations to keep you hooked. This was definitely unusual and I'm glad I made the stop at the only pachinko parlor in North America. [Review 18874 overall - 3359 in North Carolina - 2397 of 2022.]

For the most part, I was set on the go karts and only the go karts. The track is fairly small and the go karts are SLOW, at least to my standards (and potentially other adults). Overall this place is more for kids, even though that's kind of obvious. Inside was bigger than I expected. Plenty of various and new games, which was a plus to see. A lot of ticket games and prizes. The back area towards the bathrooms gave off a bit of an eerie abandoned park vibe - mainly because it was only a couple of games that were on and mostly looked like spots to put their "junk" per se (that wasn't in use). Prices weren't bad, the staff that I came across were fairly nice. Would recommend for families opposed to an adult game night.

Private Axe Throwing Party was AWESOME!!…read more WHAT FUN! They have a really great (SAFE) facility that has LOTS of space (we plan to go back for some paintball fun!). It's really a class-act setup & a fabulous 'different' experience which made for a great party! We booked a party, which on Mon-Wed they are closed & it's only private parties (not sure if this is year round or just the winter hours?); but it was GRAND having the WHOLE PLACE to ourselves! We just had 8 people for an 18th b-day party & we could easily have had another 4-6 people with the room they have for axe-throwing. The Axes area is a nice size but also cozy, almost like a neat 'bar' environment. *FYI-it is BYOB-no liquor* We brought wine for adults & sparkling juice for the teens. 3 boys, 1 girl and 4 adults.....we ALL had so much fun! $249 isn't cheap, but it was worth every penny. 90-minutes (which the fabulous gentleman who was there for us did not start our time until all safety briefing & instruction time was over) of throw time was MORE than enough, the last 10 minutes you could tell it was time to go eat, so more than 90 min would just have been too much. There are 3 high-top tables with 4 chairs each. There are 5 throwing lanes. Each lane has mesh metal screens on the sides and thick wood-paneled walls. The targets (which I read about on their site) are really amazing, the thicker blocks they use vs. cheaper boards make the axe's stick GREAT and easily for almost any throw-er. The 'games' are projected onto the boards and have score keeping that is fun & easy (like a bowling alley) with a PC mouse & keypad. The gentleman who was there for our party experience was fantastic, even came in a few times & showed us different throw-angles to try and (as a 'mom') I felt safe that he was keeping an eye on everything too. Super nice and accommodating gent - helped make our evening even more fun! Helpful tip: If you go at night, the sign is currently not lit, so it's RIGHT after Black's Tire/Goodyear. The parking lot is dark, but you'll see the lights inside are on! OH - take snacks & drinks for your party, also any plates or utensils - they only have the tables/seating & the entertainment!

Crossfire Does It Again!…read more Crossfire gets better and better every time I visit. They rebuilt after the hurricane, a beautiful new interior for paintball and nerf. After COVID, they added GellyBall. And now, AXE THROWING! I had never thrown axes before and it was easy to get the hang of enough to have fun. Also, the computer projects different games onto the wooden target so you never get bored. I went with just one other person but this would be a blast for a group - co-workers, friends, bachelor/bachelorette party, school organization, fraternity/sorority outing. No limits.

This is an arcade place, run and owned by The Roster and the Crow restaurant. It is across the…read morehall from the restaurant. It's a small arcade. A few pinball machines, arcade games, and other games you see at places like this (shooting basketballs, skee-ball, air hockey, etc.). I love having the option of playing games like this is downtown, however there are a few issues with this place. Downsides Some of the games do NOT list how much it costs to play. I lost several quarters trying to determine this. This issue is with the games like skee-ball. Some of the games don't work. Last time I was there, I lost money on the air hockey game because there was no puck. The skee-ball game just took our money without giving us the balls. If you come, bring some one, five or ten dollar bills. They do have a change machine onsite and most of the games only take quarters. If you are normally cashless like me, there is an ATMs just outside the arcade. You know, the ATMs you find at gas stations or strip clubs (so I have been told), that change you a $3 fee. Warning, when the ATM reads your card, it asks if you want to view your balance. Do NOT do this. It charges you just to look at the balance, then also charges you a fee on the money withdrawn. You can only get $20 bills. Be warned, $20 worth or quarters is a lot.

Photography by 3Spade7Star @3Spade7Star_photography…read moreJanuary 25, 2026 - Sunday One of the quirkiest & pleasant things to do in Wilmington, North Carolina is to visit the Museum of the Bizarre. It is like a smaller version of Ripley's Believe It Or Not Museum with a few surprise twists. The staff was friendly and helpful in answering all my questions. Museum fee is $3. If you want to explore the mirror maze of labyrinths, the ticket for both events is $5 . I was told that the museum was from a private collector, who owned the museum and collected all the artifacts in it. Most of the exhibits are not to be photographed unless you see a sign by the exhibit saying you can photograph it. Each exhibit has a scan code you can scan and find a link to - providing you info about the exhibit. I got permission to photograph the link info of each exhibit before proceeding further into the museum. A surprise highlight is the live performance of the sword swallower in the museum. Very fun and reminiscent of a circus performance. The kids loved it, and I liked the optimism of the performer. At the end of the museum visit, we explored the mirror maze labyrinth - very trippy. They make you wear plastic gloves to prevent smears on the mirror. Inside is a gigantic Minotaur at the end of the maze. This is a place to explore the weird and wonderful in Wilmington, North Carolina.

Unusual? Absolutely. And at $3 per person, it's a curious little detour that doesn't break the…read morebudget. We spent under an hour browsing their compact but densely packed collection of macabre, peculiar, and downright strange artifacts. Among the exhibits: letters penned by convicted serial killers, graphic crime scene photographs, purported human and animal remains, theatrical masks and vintage clothing, plus a lock of Alexander Hamilton's hair, Houdini's Ouija board, and a plaster cast of what's claimed to be a Bigfoot footprint. There were also a few movie props scattered throughout, adding a pop culture twist to the mix. Photography is off-limits except in clearly marked zones, so don't expect to document everything. We passed on the mirror maze this time around. Are all of this items authentic and real? Are they fabricated and fake? It hovers somewhere in that murky middle but it's compelling either way. And for the price, it's hard to argue. I'm not sure how much of this is appropriate for younger eyes, so parents should keep that in mind.

After the other places in town closed at 9:00pm and we weren't quite ready to head in for the night, we stumbled upon this place and enjoyed ourselves. We did not try the food because we had already eaten earlier but it looked pretty good. The service was nice at this establishment as well. It seemed that they had a league or tournament that was finishing up by the time we got there because there were quite a few people playing but there were enough tables that we were still able to play. I really enjoy playing pool and practicing my shots so this space gave me exactly what I was looking for. The music they played throughout the venue was a mix of everything which made it seem inviting for all.

There is an outside section, an arcade area, the bar and then a huge dance door and stage. You would never believe how big it is from looking at it outside. They have free water in little cups and a really clean bathroom. I was pretty impressed with this dive bar. Pretty cool place. Bartenders were your typical bar bartenders and got to me quickly. They did not have a food truck which would have been really nice being that there is nothing around it to eat, but they did have a vending machine.

An infestation of the rudest, most unprofessional collection of of D-Bag employees I have ever seen. From beta-boy doormen with clear oedipal issues, the ancient skanks behind the bar (if you can find one) and the rude and pot reeking bar backs, this place has a lot to offer. Most are old, overly aggressive and honestly all kind of smell like urine. But then the whole place smells like urine. Drinks were horrible, watered down crap with what I would not be one bit surprised were fake top shelf bottles and typical dive bar well liquor. If your a semi-legal sorority girl with more boobs than brains they will probably love you here, otherwise PLEASE do yourself and your friends a favor and skip this place.. -Wimington Local
