Decent sized arcade with lots of "hands on" games to play. Prizes are what you would expect at a typical boardwalk arcade. Most games are $1 to play, and the arcade utilizes cards and not physical tickets.

One of the best arcades I've ever gone to. The games are amazing and very, very fun. It is in the perfect location right near a lot of stores and restaurants. I will be returning to this arcade and redeeming all of the cards in the photo I attached.

I'm just gonna start it of like this this is the worst arcade ever a little bag of candy is 200 tickets. If you want to waste all your money on one game for only like 100 tickets and all that that you can get is a little toy car with cheap plastic wheels that break as soon as you throw as hard as you can on the ground I definitely do not recommend this place but be my guest waste your money on some cheap toys this place does not belong on the board walk.

Place was really cool. My son had a blast. We paid $20 for 80 tickets on a reloadable card. Each game is 2-4 tickets. There were a lot of games and they all seemed new, up to date. Staff was friendly enough and the prizes were pretty typical for tickets.

Stay away from this scam!

Super fun games. Fair prices and kids actually won enough games to get more than tiny prizes. Super fun!

Fun, family friendly place right off the boardwalk. It's great fun in the evenings or when you need a break from the sun!

An absolutely incredible and unique experience. This is the only Pachinko parlor in the USA. This…read moreestablishment has over 40 of the latest and greatest pachinko machines. These aren't the one's you grew up with... these have electric ball shooters, high definition LCD, and lights lights lights! Leo has done a wonderful thing by having established this one-of-a-kind place where someone like me, a pachinko enthusiast, can try out the latest machines and have a taste of what they have in Japan. Thank you for having the tenacity and drive to make this a wonderful "must-see" amusement device venue. YOU ROCK!

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.]

Luckily went on a non-weekend night and early enough that it wouldn't be packed (would drive by at…read morenight and see how packed it potentially could get). 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.

You could spend a lot of time (and a lot of money) here! There are lots of activities to choose…read morefrom, and each of them are a separate fee. What they refer to as "dry" activities include laser tag, go karts, miniature golf, a rock climbing wall and an arcade. You pay for these separately, or you can pay for a bundle that will allow you to do more than one. The "wet" activities include the water park, which is open during the summer months. We didn't visit the waterpark, but it looked very busy! We just visited the arcade part, and purchased game cards that allowed my kids to play any of the arcade games. You can even use the arcade cards on duckpin bowling. It's a small bowling alley with just two lanes, but it's very fun. The arcade games do not dispense tickets like they did back in our day. Instead, tickets are accumulated on the game card. Then, you take your game card to the prize desk and they let you know how many tickets you have, and then you pick a prize. The prizes offered are pretty good, and you can get a lot of little things for your effort. My kids walked out of there with their arms full, as if they had robbed a Dollar Tree. Jungle Rapids is a sensory overload, especially if you visit on a weekend afternoon like we did. There were so many people there that we almost considered turning around and coming back another time! But it was fine. Just be prepared for lots of people, because this is a popular place.

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.
