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.

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.

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.

This is by far the BEST gym EVER. I'm not even exaggerating. I've lived in or near 5 major cities…read moreincluding NYC, and NOTHING compares to this place. It's far from just a "gym." It truly is a wellness center complete with physicians, physical therapy, saunas, pools (as in the plural form of pool), a yoga studio, an aerobics studio, a pilates studio, cardio equipment, weights, resistance training, a simulated golf room, a meditation room (fo' realz), and the most amazing fitness classes designed by the Les Mills program. Using some insider information, the front desk staff is required to greet and acknowledge anyone that walks in the front door regardless of what they're doing. They're also required to greet anyone they may see walking in the wellness center. Though it's a requirement of their job, I have to admit that it's rather nice when you're a member at the center. It creates a warm and welcoming environment for sure. The floors throughout the front lobby, hallways, and doctors' offices are made of granite and are always shiny and clean. The granite even extends into the bathroom sinks! The locker rooms are impeccably clean with lockers that don't require padlocks, and the bathrooms are cleaner than any other public bathroom/shower I've seen. Each sink top has a hairdryer along with lotion and soap. Each of the showers also have shampoo, conditioner, and body wash in each stall. Shower towels and work out towels are provided throughout the gym. There is a cafe that's open from breakfast until about 6 PM that provides smoothies, cookies, coffee, biscotti, sandwiches (hot and cold), yogurt, and salads. I'm actually a medical student at the medical school associated with the wellness center, so my time in Erie will be coming to an end in a few short weeks, and I'm absolutely distraught over having to leave this gym. There's really nothing like it. Please do something wonderful for yourself and try this place out! Your first visit is free!
