HO. LEE. SHE. IT…read more It took me a while to get here, but I've just been to the best arcade in Ohio. Past Times Arcade is absolutely fantastic. Maybe, just maybe, it's the best arcade that I've been to in the last 40 years! PTA has the largest "open to the public" selection of pinball machines that I've ever seen...this includes the Pinball Hall of Fame in Vegas and both of the big venues in Pittsburgh. There might be occasional pinball expos, and private collections, where more games are on display...but these are usually not open year round. Rare and cool AF games are everywhere! There are tables from 5, maybe 6, continents! Tables from "every" era in pinball history are represented, IN LARGE NUMBERS, at PTA! And critically, almost all of the games are playable AND are in GREAT CONDITION! I'm not sure how the owner and his team keep this many tables in such good condition, but somehow, it is the case. How about video games? You bet! PTA has over 200 of these. Selection? Lots of rare games and almost all the blockbusters as well. Are they in good condition? Yep. Less than 5 were not operational. Not a single game (that I played) had an issue with the controls or the screen. Amazing. Also cool: There is a fair number (50ish?) of pre-transistor electromechanical games. Many of these were operational, but many, (such a Sega's Periscope) were, unfortunately, not up and running. Still though, it was nostalgic and (maybe even a little) heart warming to see them again. The games are set on "Free Play;" you pay 20 bucks to play all day. You get a wrist band and you can come and go as you please. If you're a kid, it's cheaper. If you're a veteran or a first responder, it's cheaper. Food? Yes. I admit that I didn't eat anything, but the kitchen and diner area sure smelled good! It was also amazing how clean PTA was, even the crapper was spotless. Booze? Yes. I didn't drink but the selection of canned adult beverages looked pretty extensive. Bottom line: I've been to some of the biggest and best arcades (and coin op museums) in the country. Past Times Arcade just might be the best. No shit. 5 Stars.

I took my wife here on a fun date. She had never been to build a bear and was so excited for it…read more The woman who worked with us was super nice and did a good job not making us feel weird for being two grown adults in build a bear. 10 out of 10 would recommend.

My daughters experience was basically ruined, the employee stuffed the heart in and stitched it up as fast as she could without doing the special things to the heart. My group (total of 3 bears) were the only ones in the store before the teens walked in. The people behind us didn't seem to mind waiting, not sure why the employee had a problem with it. With that being said, this bear is my daughters favorite thing in the world right now & the Cotton Candy scent smells amazing!

Came to a party here for my friends kid and was so amazed that a place like this exists in Erie!…read moreShocked to read a review like the last one, as it was nowhere near the experience we had. The facility was clean and bright, with plenty of toys and game options. I was bummed that no adults were allowed in the bounce house equipment, but honestly I get it - safety first. The owner and manager helped make invites which was super cute and helpful, every parent came in to make sure their waiver was signed because of it - which was one less stress for my friend throwing her kid's party to worry about! Again it's sad to see someone had such an experience that it warranted a review like that, then again using the word Tyrant (like a lot) to describe a manager reminding kids of rules for their safety hardly qualifies. ‍ So here's the opposing view, if you want a safe, fun, and unique experience for your kids birthday this is it! Don't take my word for it, I snapped some fun pics of the kids playing that speaks for itself :)

Was at this place on 4/8 for my great niece's birthday party. The overall experience was BAD!!!!…read moreSeveral issues arose during this day. 1. The employees were late! The party package is supposed to include time to set up, read about it on their website. The owner/manager had to be contacted several times prior to the party before anyone arrived. NONE OF THE EMPLOYEES THAT SHOWED UP APOLOGIZED FOR THEIR TARDINESS. 2. When one of the employees arrived she zipped into the parking lot quickly and came extremely close to hitting some of the kids, my son included. 3. Ladies restroom smelled like poopie diapers and the trash can was near full so this could have been prevented simply by emptying the trash the night before. 4. The manager was a tyrant!!! Instead of politely pointing out that rules were not being followed to her liking she was snappy. "I told you, only one person on the trampoline" as opposed to please remember the rule about one person on the trampoline at a time. 5. This point really made me angry: the manager was soliciting the children. My son and nephew were playing with a ball and the tyrant woman took the ball and called the boys over to her. The tyrant then proceeded to talk to them about signing up for their special event that has something to do with Ninja Warrior which is a $40 event. Both boys told her they weren't interested, in a way that a 9-year old and 7-year could. My son also asked her multiple times for the ball back and she didn't give it back to them until my husband stepped in. Apparently my child and nephew were not the only ones this tyrant woman was soliciting, my niece advised me that some other adults/parents saw this also. 6. While my great niece was opening her gifts the manager was hovering around like she was expecting something. 7. We were ushered out before the full 2 hour party was up, remember point #1 about the employees being late. I no longer live in Erie and traveled 3.5 hours for this disaster. I would give 1/2 star if I could based on this experience. Be careful taking your kids here because of the tyrant manager she will do everything in her power to make sure your experience is a bad one.

I brought my two children here on a Sunday afternoon, and although I had high hopes for this place,…read moreI had a terrible experience. First off, my two children are both 13 months old. They view this age as a grown child, so it cost me $40 just to bring them in for an hour. What they offer for children this size, does not live up to the price that they charge. There is a small area that has foam blocks and a little obstacle course to climb on with a ball pit, and that is all. The staff were terribly rude, incredibly inattentive, ignored us when we stood at the counter for a very long time, and did nothing to keep the big children out of the small children's area, even though there were signs saying they were not allowed. I did walk to the back of the building, and there seems to be a lot of stuff for larger children to play on. I feel like the price may be more justified for older kids, but if you have Littles like mine, do not come here. The price is so expensive, and they would have just as much fun at a regular park. If you're looking for a great place to try for Littles, check out.We Rock The Spectrum in Stow instead. We will not be coming back here until my children are much much older., If at all.

From there you love on to room number one, which has a large slide, an obstacle course, and a large jump area, with some other fun stuff mixed in. Then you switch over to room two, which they can turn the lights off in and turn the black lights on. In this room there's a large inflatable that you try to run up as high as you can, an inflatable basketball area, and another large inflatable slide, plus a "wind tunnel" machine that makes hurricane strength winds, as well as some air hockey tables. After the kids are all played out, they are brought to the party room, where the staff handles dishing out pizza and cupcakes and pouring drinks, cleaning everything up, and helping the birthday child get and open the presents. They then handle all of the cleanup, and load all the presents neatly onto a cart and help you get everything out to your car! They do everything but drive you home! They also have a slideshow playing in the party room of all pictures from that day of everyone playing, and you have the option to purchase it. This makes the birthday process easy and care free. Pay the money so you can actually sit back and enjoy the party!

I was EXTREMELY UPSET and CONFUSED that I had a worker come up to me (out of the blue ) today and say to me that they are closing at 9 PM because "IT'S SLOW". I rarely complain, but to me that just seems (lazy) when people pay money and are using your games until close. Just let them play! Really guys an hour until close and you do that?
