    Layout of the gallery
    Leo S.

    I live in Media, so maybe I'm biased when I say it's the best town in Delaware County. And although I appreciate the variety of restaurants, bars and tiny shops, I alway felt like something was missing on State Street; something fun and exciting that anyone of any age could come and enjoy. In my opinion, Game on State hits the mark. Considering they are located on State Street, there is only so much space one can rent. When you walk in, most of the pinball machines are toward the middle-front, but as you walk further back, it is actually much bigger than you'd expect! Personally, I think they could add more machines toward the back of the store, but maybe in due time that will happen. At the very front is a selection of candy, an old-fashioned jukebox and other knick knacks. In the middle of the store are the main pinball machines and arcade games. Toward the back are car racing games, skee ball, and a couple claw machines to win prizes. It can feel slightly crammed depending on where you are standing. For example, when I was playing skee ball, I was worried my arm would swing back and hit someone as they walked behind me, but overall, they did a nice job with the layout of the store and trying to provide as much space as possible. The price is on par with another pinball gallery near Malvern, so no complaints there. I did not check the bathroom, but the gallery itself is clean, so again, I was pleased to see that. I'm not sure if it's a family-owned business, but the people behind the counter were very nice and accommodating to answering any questions. I played for a half-hour and the time flew by, meaning I had a lot of fun. It's a good way to let time pass, and for a Friday afternoon, it was a nice relaxer to the end of a long work week. I will most certainly be back when I have some time to spare. I highly recommend Game on State to all gamers, families, and lovers of Media!

    My six year old and I had a blast here! It's very reasonable and you're able to get a half hour pass and try out some old school games. They had a wide selection of pinball, Pac-Man, hockey, car racing and Itari. The games are all free for use once you get the pass (which was $7.50 today). It was pretty crowded while we were there but still plenty of games were available. Some were confusing for my son's age but there were still plenty basic enough for him. There's a bunch of candy in the front when you head out to round things out! Overall highly recommend- they do birthday parties as well.

    What is this place!? An arcade!? A sports center? I don't know…read more When you walk in you are greeted by a bunch of older arcade machines. Some were even covered with out-of-order signs. You are actually rewarded with real tickets, which was authentic though I haven't seen those in many years. The rewards themselves looked pretty bad and nothing a kid would really want. A rubber ball looked like one of the best prizes. They also have an indoor mini-golf black-light court and laser tag. I haven't seen either of these, though the laser tag was crowded and looked fun. I've here before for birthday parties, the reason I was here today, was that my buddy had a basketball game here. Their sports facility looked a bit outdated and small. A basketball court made up of plastic tiles that may be regulation size on a good day. The hoops were located on the out of bounds line making it a safety concern. The scoreboard was tiny and the horn was way too loud. The spectators and players both had to sit on hard metal benches. Finally, they had one tiny overhead heater making the court area feel freezing. I didn't think I was coming to a hockey game. They have a bunch of automatic batting cages with different speeds that the ball can be pitched with. Overall, the place is okay and would be a good rainy day activity.

    some arcade games are scams, the batting cages are horrible, the pitching machines only throw balls…read moreor really inside strikes, some of the balls aren't even hittable if you're a lefty. bathrooms are disgusting, mini golf is okay, dodgeball is short if youre in party and stuff, the pizza is above average I guess. the cherry Pepsi from the soda fountain tastes like it's watered down. only small or large sized drink. The credits you get for money to play games are overpriced. The batting machine balls are hard yellow balls that hurt a lot if you get hit by one, I got hit by one because it bounced off of my bat, onto the floor and into the side of my knee, now it's swollen and left a big mark.

    Where to begin? From the initial bells and arcade sounds, to the lights! Every machine was working…read moreperfectly and each had their own theme. The owner Bob was so nice and took some time to tell me about some of his favorite games. I can't wait to come back! Get it? Back! Great place! Plow.

    For a long time the only places where you could play video games in arcades for the most part were…read moreDave & Busters or some run down beach spot. But over the past decade or so there has been a resurgence in arcades with retro old school video games and pinball. I've been to a few of them in NJ, NY and FL. Some are better than others in terms of parking, prices and variety of games. The better ones like Siverball in Asbury Park thrive and the clueless ones like the Museum in Daytona Beach close. The quality and selection of games at Village are top notch. There are some real gems like Fireball, Liberty Bell and The Who inspired Pinball Wizard machine (I wish they had my favorite which is 8 Ball Deluxe). Everything looks great and ran great. Probably the youngest machine in the arcade is Pac-Man and that has to be pushing 40 years old. While there were people coming in and out things never got overly crowded so as to be uncomfortable (although speaking of uncomfortable it is hot as hell inside but such is to be expected in July). What's not good about Village? The change situation. The machines of course take quarters. Unless you're bringing rolls of quarters with you, you're going to need change made for you. While Village has a single change machine on site, it only takes 1's and 5's. And in regards to those bills they should be on the crisper-newer side or else that change machine is not going to take them easily. Several people this past Sunday (self included) were fighting the thing to take bills. To expound further on this change issue, there is no ATM at the arcade or that I could see at any of the shops in the village. While there are a few other shops next door they will not make change for you which is rather inconvenient when the nearest place you're directed to is a 10 minute drive. When I say directed I don't mean by the owner or anyone at the arcade as no one fitting that description was seen in the hour we were there. That info was given by the girls next door in the ice cream shop who told me they tell people about that all the time. If you go: The arcade is open 12-5 on Saturday and Sunday only. Parking is across the street in a few lots that are shared by all of the shops in the village. As other have mentioned, all of the machines are 2 plays per quarter. While that would seem easy enough to remember if you walk around you will almost certainly find multiple machines with plays still left on them. While my review total might seem harsh, note that it's only directed at the change situation which I see as a bad business decision by the owner. I would have spent twice as much if there would have been a feasible way. The machines and set up are fabulous but as a first time visitor you're sort of set up to fail unless you know someone directly who has been here so that they can tell you exactly what you need to bring. Oh well, maybe next time.

    Business is lucky our child wasn't seriously hurt…read more With the weather being so cold, my wife and I were looking for an indoor place to take or 18 month old. We came across Bette's, as it's right down the road from our house. On arrival we were greeted by very friendly and helpful front desk staff as it was our first time coming. They recommended us the toddler town area and said it would be the best fit for his age. In the beginning he was really enjoying himself and loved exploring all the different activities in that area. Out of nowhere, children that were much older than toddlerhood (1-3 years old) - Came in and started playing really rough, sprinting into the bounce area of toddler town, no concern for younger kids in that space. As our child was trying to navigate that bounce area in toddler town, a boy who looked to be about 5-6 years old, that we didn't know, as well as having ZERO parent supervision at that time, grabbed our 18 month old, slammed him down and held him on the ground. The child thought this was funny and laughed, as our son was screaming and crying trying to get out of the hold. It was at this point that my wife and I leaned over and had to holler multiple times to get this kid to let go of out son. Staff in the area just stood there, less that 6 feet away, like nothing was happening. If the area is for a certain age range, children above that age range should not be playing in that area for this reason. Parents need to keep an eye on their children. There needs to be better care and concern for the younger kids. Pretty bummed about the whole experience as its really close to our home, heard such great things and aren't sure if we will return because of this. Hope this helps.

    Slow down as your driving to find this place or you'll miss it! You can see the sign from the road…read morebut the building doesn't look anything like you'd expect from the outside. It looks like your going to an office building. There's a small sign on the front door with the name of the place but i'm telling you slow down or you'll be driving round and round trying to find what's right in front of you! By far the BEST indoor play spot on the planet! I thought i had been to some pretty good ones but this one tops them all! A lot of them make you pay for each adult but here you only have to pay for your children and it's only $9! You can't beat that for a place where you can stay as long as you want and bring your own food! Just a quick note that if you want to bring a cake you have to rent out party space. Other than that you can bring your own food or have food delivered. They even give you a free game card with a few credits on it to try out a game or two. You can then pay to load it at the kiosh to play more games. They have literally everything a child's heart desires here! Just check out the photos. There's a separate area for toddlers and smaller children. I loved that I saw staff walking the floor all throughout the day to keep things tidy. If I was a child you'd have to drag me out kicking and screaming because i'd never want to leave!
