    Main Street Amusements has exceptionally well maintained games and certain games are as little as 25 cents per play- a real bargain these days. The games accept tokens or app-pay via smartphone. Bonus tokens are given for purchasing tokens in quantity. MSA is a clean and well lighted facility- an excellent destination for family fun as well as adult relaxation. Tournament and league play weekly as well as special events. MSA is in a great location with lots of free parking street-side. So much more than just a nostalgia destination; why not visit MSA soon and make some new memories or re-live past good times!

    There's not much to say about Main Street Amusements other than it is downright fun. If you are into arcade games or classic pinball, this is the best place in the Lafayette area to go. As a Purdue student, I go here with friends every month or so. Dinner, pinball, and then some nightlife? That's the perfect night out in Lafayette. The collection of Pinball machines spans every era and there are plenty of games to keep you entertained. My personal favorites are The Walking Dead, TRON, and Monopoly. Payment here is pretty simple and actually quite flexible for an arcade. You can, of course, pay for tokens with cash. You can also swipe your card, but the coolest option is that you can download an app on your phone to add funds to, and the machine pays via your phone over Bluetooth. It's very convenient. The prices are pretty cheap for an arcade. You can get a good amount of time here for about $5, and it helps if you are able to keep the ball in play for longer of course! If you're at all a pinball fan, you have to check this place out.

    What a great arcade! Main Street Amusements focuses solely on pinball machines dating from the first half of the 20th century with Bally's 'Rocket' and 'Morocco' to modern machines such as the Tron reboot and Avatar. They've even got machines older than your grand dad that cost a mere nickel! If you ask nicely, the owner might even break out the cool fortune teller machine. I envision Main Street Amusements as a great place for parties (no alcohol, though) and it's certainly a great way to spend an evening downtown after shopping and dining. Bring your quarters and nickels!

    Great selection of pinball! Oldies on juke box...all around good fun!

    As a child of the 80s, this brings me to my childhood! A great selection of vintage to more modern pinball machines that are well maintained. Games range in price from $0.25 - $1.00 and some have 4 plays for the price of 3. The interior is clean and has a nice touch of the 80s with graffiti art decoration. To make it even better, the classic oldies tunes are from a vintage juke box. There is no food and drink, but my friends and I brought in coffee from a nearby shop with no trouble and we spotted menus from nearby restaurants so perhaps they'd allow you to bring food in, but, if not, the location is surrounded by several great downtown Lafayette spots within walking distance. You don't have to spend a lot to have fun, but I could see this place draining lots of "quarters" from my wallet!

    I like the idea of Main St. Amusements, but the decor is bland, the lighting is depressing, and it always smells like paint.

    Great resource for students. Not for staff…read more Staff can pay for memberships to the CoRec, but I no longer recommend it for staff. In the fall of 2025, something changed. The corec used to have a family locker room. The name of the family locker room has been changed. It is a small change, but indicative of the overall policies changing. In addition, the pool hours changed to be completely unusable for families. I used to give my son swim lessons at the co-rec, pools, but now, he cannot go because the pools are open at such weird times. Moreover, the pool workers are no longer friendly to families. When my son was 4, they let me take him in the hot tub for up to 5 minutes. It was a nice treat for my son after he did swim lessons. At 5 years old, they said he could stay for up to 15 minutes. I never let him go above 8 or 9 minutes out of caution. I was always with him. The last time I went to the co-rec, my son was 5 this fall, we got in the hot tub like normal. We were told to leave the hot tub because kids under 15 are not allowed. I pointed to THEIR SIGN hanging up that says 5 and up. They said, "I'm sorry that policy is changing. We are no longer allowing kids in the hot tubs." I said that we would stop going in the hot tub out when the sign and the website changed. Then I had 10 lifeguards escort us out of the pool area. My son was not loud or splashing or rambunctious in the hot tub. He was chilling and calm. Yet they insisted the new policy was no children at all. Shortly thereafter, they changed the pool schedule so families cannot use any of the pools. By changing the pool schedule to be unfriendly to families, they also make it significantly harder for students to use it as well. I stopped paying for the corec and take my son elsewhere to swim--places that are family friendly.

    Good quality place. As a big recreation center, a need to bring your own soap is not convenient to…read moreme. Parking is disaster. Expect to get $35 parking tickets every now and then from Purdue police.

    Love this place. This is my second time there. They make booking easy as well as signing the waiver…read moreonline. The person that helped checked us in was helpful/informative. You get a couple of medium to large items depending on which room you book. Also you get a tote of glass and/or ceramic things such as liquor bottles, beer bottles, home decor, etc. You get a few different tools. Golf club, baseball bat, etc. Super fun. My only complaint is the visors on the face shields need replacing. They're well used so it's kinda harder to see with them. Not a huge deal. You can still see what you're doing and admire the glass flying through the air. Highly recommend

I went here with a group of 10 coworkers and we were split up into two groups (they have a max of 5 people per smash room). They provided the necessary PPE and had a safety briefing when we were led into the smash room. The room had a huge box of glass bottles, a bunch of wheels and tires, a hot water heater and a tv (both for smashing purposes). You had about 30 minutes to smash to your heart's content, and it was really fun! Smashing weapons provided were a baseball bat, a crowbar, a small sledgehammer, and a large sledgehammer. We also had some decently loud rock and punk music and the walls had a lot of neon paint splatter, so vibes were awesome for smash therapy. The gentleman working was really helpful and knowledgeable about the industry. Also, they had some small tools to use at the end in case anyone had small pieces of glass stuck to the bottom of your shoes. Overall, a fun experience and would come back with friends!
