PROS: very nice arcade with friendly staff and this place is also clean and affordable CONS: nothing under 75k tickets is worth it. Especially cause you need to spend a truck ton just to get to that amount OVERALL: good arcade to go to, but just have fun. Don't aim to get so many tickets read more

Fun family place very touristy as expected for the area. My family usually plays the wizard of oz games at lucky Leo's and go elsewhere for crane games if that is what you are in to. read more

Do you like super fun arcades filled with classic games on the boardwalk with a view of the ocean? Lucky Leo's has been on the boardwalk in the middle of the shore scene that is Seaside Heights for over 60 years. I've heard that the original Leo was actually really lucky and won the lottery a couple of times himself, now retired to Florida, his son runs the place and this arcade is fun fun FUN! Sure, you will go through money super quickly and there are never enough tickets to win the prize you want, but this is the shore at it's best and judging from the hordes of smiling people going in and out of Lucky Leos, i'm not the only one who feels that way! read more

Lucky Leo's - Shoretime fun - Amusement Parks Near Me - Seaside Heights, New Jersey

Amazing! Our favorite arcade on the boardwalk! The nicest staff and great games and crane machines. Jackie is awesome at the counter and Don helping with the games that needed an attendant. We couldn't have had a better time. My kids loved all the Pride options and left super happy. Yes we spent a lot of money but by choice and not without it being completely worth the memories and smiles we took away with us. read more

Ahhh, good old boardwalk amusements! They have pretty cool, original games, and "pop culture-relevant" prizes. My favorite was an Angry Birds game (pic: http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/lucky-leos-seaside-heights?select=TCx6S9JJmxovFXQDmpG65Q#jcmMxs0YepvM9Ey1dt2WkQ) where you actually slingshot stuffed animal birds, trying to get them inside of the pigs' mouths. Although difficult, it was a blast to try! Everyone here seemed friendly, both with patrons, and with one-another. You can tell this is a family-run operation that must have been passed down through the generations. read more

I have been coming to this arcade as a child. Luckily this was one of the few to survive both Hurricane Sandy and the fire that took out the remaining half of the boardwalk that survived Sandy... truly Lucky indeed. As far as standup cabinet arcade games, they are a thing of the past it seems, very few arcades still have any worth playing. Leo's has a few stand up shooter games and a few seated racing ones but that's pretty much it. The rest seem to all be geared towards prize redemption via ticket/token or crane games. The Wizard of Oz game is really fun and pretty addicting to play however it's like the modern day slot machines, it makes a lot of noise, gives you mediocre bonuses and as you continue to feed it money it pays out a lot less then all of the noise and action it makes. The crane games are not like they used to be where it actually just required skill. Now they are all based on amount of money dumped into them and amount of time spent playing rather. The more you spend, the stronger the crane claws get... On top of that you still need to be skillful enough to grab the prize. Don't believe me, YouTube it... each of the new types of machines have a computers that monitor the amount of times it will pay out as well as the setting for strength of the claw, Dump $10 in for the 95 cent prize... You will be broke... but your kid will be happy. Last but not least they have the skee-ball (not the classic yellow one) and basketball shooter games. read more

We had a super fun visit here- it's been many years but in general they seem to have rebounded well enough post-Sandy/fire. Spent a beautiful and sunny afternoon walking the boards, playing games and eating delicious Jersey pizza. Our daughter and her cousins noticed the Henna Tattoo booth and decided they wanted one. They each turned out beautifully- the artist did a fantastic job on the feather and boat for my nieces. I especially loved my daughter's Kanji symbol for bird. Really awesome work, and they were only $5 each. You can get more elaborate designs for $10-$25 as well. Afterward, we went inside and the kids got their skee-ball on. They each had a mountain of tickets to redeem for their cute prizes. A great time at Lucky Leo's, we'll definitely return the next time we're back East. read more

I cannot rate the arcade inside but their communications and advertising are inaccurate. Tried to go to this arcade on Wednesday, November 3rd while on vacation. Since there were specials on Tuesdays and the sign said that the arcade was open 365 days, I thought it would be fun. But when I pulled up, it turned out that the arcade is closed on Wednesdays and Thursdays for the season. So, maybe call first in the off-season. I was disappointed but had a great time at Jenkinson's in Pt. Pleasant instead. read more

Best arcade on the boardwalk. I have been playing here literally since I was an infant. My parents and I played Skee-Ball here when i was 8 months old. The cranes here are good as well, even though they have the reputation to drop the prize before it gets to the chute. The new ticket cranes are difficult. I HAVE A SECRET TO TELL YOU!! The way to win the new ticket cranes is to use the 3 plays for $1 option and pick up tickets close to the prize chute walls and move them closer to the wall of the chute for the first two turns. For the third turn, drop the crane so that one of the three "fingers" is hanging over the chute and the other two fingers are in the tickets. When the crane closes, the tickets attached to the two fingers in the back will spill over into the chute. Congratulations, you've won. The best part about Lucky Leo's is the Wizard of Oz machines. They have 6 Wizard machines and they are awesome. You shoot coins and make others fall, along with prize coins and cards. Unfortunately, wizard prizes cannot be doubled by my diamond VIP card, since they are the most popular game. read more

We started coming here at... let's see... BIRTH! Lucky Leo's is the BEST arcade in Seaside HANDS DOWN! They have the best prizes and games around! Even as a little girl there was some sort of joy in collecting all of those tickets and getting a prize. Something magical and special. I still feel that when I come to Lucky Leo's!! read more

Nice place to pass the time when you get tired of walking the boards. Earn tickets and get crappy prizes. We save our points up until the end of the summer and try and get a decent prize. The Wizard of Oz coin games are great for racking up points. Not as good as the Gateway Casino/Arcade in Wildwood but as good as it gets in Sleaze Side Heights. read more

Best arcade in Seaside! They have tons of fun games and friendly staff. Even though you can find them in almost every arcade on the boardwalk now, there is something special about playing the wizard of oz game in Lucky Leo's. Also, they have tons of fun and useful prizes to choose from, and a spectacular VIP program. read more

Cranes drop everything. Play anything but the cranes.....we play all over the boardwalk. So going here is not good, unless you play video games. read more

This review is for the crane-claw machine "games". All of the crane machines I used here consistently dropped the prize even though the item was squarely centered within the claw. The claws are so weak that they either fail to lift the item or the item is too heavy to be held long enough to survive the transition to the chute. In the event that the item was lifted, the claw ascends but strikes the top of the crane just hard enough to consistently cause the prize to drop out of the claw. This is obviously an intentional design feature to keep the prize from being successful delivered to the player. This happened 100% of the 10 times I played the machine. Some may claim this is to be expected, but the machine is presented as a game of skill wherein the challenge is to successfully grasp the item. However, even when the item is grasped cleanly in the center if the claw it is still dropped. The claw machines here are being operated under what I would consider false pretenses. While adults should play these games expecting to lose, little kids are cheated out of winning their prize even if they successfully maneuver and grasp the item. Hey, Leo: disgraceful. read more

A classic. Sandy couldn't bring this place down. Seaside took a hit, but it will come back and when it does, Leo's will be there just as it always has been! read more

This place is a boardwalk staple. It's been here forever. I remember coming here as a kid and I still can't resist the urge to stop in each time I'm on the boardwalk. One of the only places that has still maintained the innocence that the jersey shore used to have. Some old school, some new school games, silly prizes. We usually find a nice kid to give all of our tickets to when we're done playing - we're just here to pass the time with some good old fashioned fun. read more

We've going every year.. and have been going every Sunday for the past 3 weeks. After a few arounds, honestly, high prices for games and claw machines because it's hard to win. But try coin pusher it is okay because you do win decent tickets. Overall Prices and tickets are high for exchanging prizes... overall wasn't too happy with this place. Staff was nice, place is cleaned. read more

Best arcade in Seaside. Staff is helpful and friendly and they offer a lot of different games to play. Wizard of Oz seems to be our favorite along with the good old skee ball. Nice assortment of prizes for the kids and you can get a club card as an added incentive to go there. You can use your points right away or save them for the big stuff. Always fun! read more

I have been going to Lucky Leo since I was a kid. Take my son at least once a year. Games are slightly over priced and claw games are hard to play. Wizard of oz is a classic, it's okay. The claw doesn't claw and the prize slips right off. Games are hard to win. Too many tickets for to little prize. read more

Went down in July 2016 with son and 2 grandchildren. I was very disappointed with the place because I think it rips off the kids and the parents. The claw machines are TOTALLY A RIPOFF because your time is up almost as soon as you start. We stood there for a good 30 minutes to see the success rate for kids and not one child "won" a toy from 3 claw machines in 30 minutes. And they are $1 per try. I'd probably do better at a slot machine in AC. The staff seemed nice but I was upset that my granddaughter wanted a trinket but she was 5 tickets short and they did not budge off the total amount and that is even after they don't count your tickets, they weigh them so how do they know how many tickets you really have. I will not return there because their "prizes" are junk. Only when a customer told me that there were other prizes available did I realize that the junk trinkets they have in the counter were not the only prizes. Luckily it was in time for my grandson to get something more that the junk in the counters. This is like Atlantic City for kids. Gamblers in training! read more
