Visited for the first time with my brother. We're both well into our 40s and had an absolute blast gaming on some nostalgic classics. First off, the pricing model is genius. No fumbling around with coins or bills. You get a wristband when you enter and just play. At the end, you pay based on the total amount of time you spent inside. Simple and convenient. They've got a huge collection of pinball machines along with all kinds of classic arcade games. I even got to sit down at the Nintendo setup and test my memory on Super Mario Bros. It's definitely an epic setup for anyone looking to spend an afternoon or evening diving into retro gaming. Also, the name "Vault" is perfect. The place is inside an old bank, and the safe deposit boxes are still in the vault beneath the TRON neon sign. Very cool atmosphere that adds to the whole experience. Highly recommended for gamers of all ages! read more

This place is so cool and I will definitely be returning with friends. They have every retro game you can think of, from 40 different kinds of pinball, to Nintendo 64, to combat, racing, and shooting games. I loved the retro gamer vibes, but what really blew me away was that this was in a converted bank. It literally is in a vault! I love how they worked with the bank concept and you could enter the giant vault door in the back and play next to the safety deposit boxes. The vibes really elevated the experience and made this so much more than just another arcade. The price was also great, making this a great pit stop on any trip to Morristown. read more

With the exception of that hotass Ms Pacman, I suck at video games. I've tried an there's just no luck at all. What I excel at, however, is pinball. Tommy aside, I'm the frigging Pinball Wizard. And it's for this reason that Morristown Game Vault to me, is the shizz. All machine are set up for free play and you're charged by the hour. The selection is virtually limitless, Kiss, Aerosmith, Labyrinth, the aforementioned Ms Pacman and just about anything else you'd imagine is all there ready for you to conquer. Every decade from the 50's to today is represented and ready at your disposal. And while there is no Skeeball, the place is awesome. Great way to spend an hour or two (or three). I'm not in Morristown all that often but when I am, this is a must visit. read more

Morristown Game Vault - Arcades Near Me - Morristown, New Jersey

A great place for a family get together, hanging with friends of any age, or a date. The Game Vault is clean and well maintained from what I could see. It's a little on the smaller side and can be a little cramped if their busy. You may need to wait your turn on one of the more popular games. If you're used to a large format "barcade" or Dave & Buster's atmosphere, this isn't that. On the other hand, you aren't getting shaken down for tickets to win prizes and you aren't paying for overpriced drinks either, so it's a pro and a con. The collection is a mix of pinball cabinets, 90s beat-em ups (The Simpsons brings back lots of memories), shooters, fighting games, and more. I think you'd be a hard pressed to find a better bang for your buck in terms of entertainment. Located right on South Street, it's perfect before head out to dinner, drinks, or dessert. I've been twice and will be back again for sure. read more

In NJ for business and looked for things to do. I have been wanting to play some of the 80's games I grew up with, but there is nothing near me at home. Game Vault was outstanding. Had all the games I played. Jumped on Centipede first and got high score. Went to Tempest next and did some joust to finish up. I may have to come back out in 2 months for a second business trip, but now I'm looking forward to it. read more

Such a fun time, great atmosphere and clean! You get a bracelet and you pay per hour all the games were so fun especially for a first time in Morristown it was a great experience for me and my bfs vacation! Would definitely recommend coming here and trying out these old games at least once, I was ecstatic they had a GameCube!! read more

They have all the 80's games for this GenXer. There's some playstation stuff, but that doesn't interest me. All of the games worked and the cost was reasonable. read more

PROS: nice staff, inside a former bank which looks cool, and they charge by the half hour rather than each game. Prices are also good CONS: this is the smallest arcade I've been to. I expected it to be larger OVERALL: despite the physical size the variety of games are plentiful and unlimited when you pay per 30 minutes read more

I love this place! I am old and these games bring back memories. I love that I can play 80's video games in their original form with my kids who get a kick out of them. We have been here for a bday party as well as a fam. The party room is a bit tight but the staff are awesome! They are super friendly and attentive. Definitely a stop in! read more

What an awesome place!!!! We first visited in the summer of 2024, and have been back several times since then. I live in Croydon, PA and it is DEFINITELY worth the 2 hour drive, each way, to play the games that I enjoyed in my youth. I am now 58, and was a huge arcade fan back in the 80s. The Game Vault really brings back lots of memories. I am in a wheelchair, and this place is very wheelchair friendly. There are a few areas that are very tight to navigate in my chair, and a few that I can not get to in the chair, but overall, I would give it a solid 8.5 out of 10 for wheelchair accessibility. Every time that my wife and I visit, we always stay the maximim time. It is always the best $60 ($30 each) that we could ever spend on a day's entertainment. read more

Great time here at the Morristown Game Vault. Lots of street parking on the main street. You pay by time. You are given a wristband when you first enter and it is scanned when you leave so they can see how long you spent there. $10 for 30 mins. $13 for 60 mins. $20 for 120 mins. As far as games go, there are lots to chose from. Although any generation would enjoy their time there, I think the retro fans will really love this place. There are tons of older arcades and pinball machines from the 80's and 90's. From Frogger, to Donkey Kong, to Tron to beat-em-ups. Definitely a wide variety to play. There are also some TV's set up in the center with a bunch of conoles hooked up, NES, SNES, Gamecube, PS4...and others. Decor is pretty cool with game and comic book decor all around. One thing I loved about this place was that all the arcades worked! There are a handful to similar places in the northeast I've visited, but half of the machines were working properly. Kudos to this place, its staff and management for making sure everything is working smoothly. Staff was very helpful and friendly. read more

Lots of machines and games. There are also some console setups. There's is more than a little something for everyone! The Pinball line up is solid with a good amount of machines, maybe 15 or so. All working and functioning. Setup with a 3 ball game. It's great atmosphere being in a bank. The lights are kept low with a couple projections playing. Great for gaming. Reminds me how arcades use to be with the lighting. Inside they have the fault open with the safety deposit boxes in site. Games are setup everywhere. The space is used efficiently. They charge by the amount of time you have been there and you pay at the end. You wear a wristband to track the time. It's all free play, meaning no tokens needed. Play your favorites, try out games you would never given a chance. Find your some new favorites and enjoy your time. There is a vending machine for drinks on site. I do would wish they would do some snacks and beer and wine in the future. Definitely can't wait to come back. Love the area too. read more

I visited here on a rainy Thursday evening with 4 friends. We were the only ones there when we arrived. We were greeted by the woman at the front desk. Everyone was given a wristband and we were told we'd pay after depending on the amount of time we spend there. They have a coat rack in the hallway when you walk in which was helpful. It's definitely a cute place to visit! They have many retro arcade games and old game systems such as super nintendo, original nintendo, game cube, nintendo 64, ps4, etc. They have a list of games near the consoles and you just need to ask the staff for it. They change the games for you. They do not sell food/drinks but they have a vending machine. There are several restaurants/bars if you want to eat/drink before or after. read more

This place is fantastic for retro gaming! Extremely clean and very well cared for classic arcade games. Staff is extremely friendly. You pay by the hour here, so for an hour and 1/2 it's about $14 (way less than all the quarters I used in the 90s playing the Simpsons game). read more

Love that all the games are on open play! Not sure how I thought I would only spend a half hour because after a solid hour of play -I still wish we had more time! You get a wristband when you enter and they scan it on the way out to see the duration of your visit and you pay accordingly. Make sure you take a minute and appreciate how cool it is that the games are located in an old bank..vault and all. read more

At the front desk you are given a wristband so that they can keep track of the time you spend. The prices are reasonable. It's $10 a person for 30 minutes and $13 if you stay for a full hour.(and upwards of that) All of the machines are set to free play so you just walk up to a machine and press start. There are lots of fun pinball machines, arcade games, video games and more. It's inside an old bank so it's really awesome. It even still has the original vault from the bank. My only wish is that I had more time to spend here! We were in a bit of a time crunch so we only had 30 minutes. We had so much fun and if we had more time I would definitely go again. read more

So much fun! $11 for half an hour wasn't bad at all. Time went by fast, but we didn't have time to stay longer. There are so many nostalgic games, fun for the whole family! Fun low light vibes like in those days. They seem to really stay up to date with faulty games as well, which is good. Everything looked in great condition. read more

First of all, I love the building itself! It's so pretty, an old bank... super cool! This place is fantastic for retro games! It is clean AND everything worked! The staff is friendly and you pay by the hour here. I spent an hour which I think was $14. I do think Silverball in Asbury is better, BUT this place has 'Paperboy' and I could spend an hour just playing 'Paperboy'. I saw plenty of kids, teens, adults, and older adults enjoying there time here. I would definitely be back and would recommend. read more

All the stars for the Morristown Game Vault! We had my dad's 60th birthday here and it was such a hit! David, Samantha, and the whole team were fabulous from planning to clean up, and everything in between. We will definitely be back! read more

Best arcade I have ever been to. So clean, games were in IMMACULATE condition and not even one "out of order" sign. The retro games and the old bank building with the vault just topped off the experience! HIGHLY recommend! Morristown was a random stop when traveling from Hershey, PA back to CT and we are lucky to have made the stop! read more

So much fun!!!!! My husband & I go for 30 minutes and just play all our favorite old games!

Great variety of games and on top of that compared to a lot of different places i've been to, all the machines are VERY well maintained which is incredible! However, a little pricy due to being hourly rate vs what i would pay individually with each play. Also, there's no Time Crisis which in my personal opinion is a mandatory game for an arcade (did not consider this as part of my review) read more

This pay-by-the-hour arcade has a great selection of arcade cabinets from every era from the '70s, '80s, '90s, and '00s. Most importantly everything works properly unlike a certain other PBTH arcade establishment in NJ. The prices are reasonable and it looks like it used to be an old cathedral inside. I will be back the next time I'm in Morristown. read more

Morristown Game Vault - Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles - Arcades Near Me - Morristown, New Jersey

They don't have too many places like this anymore and it's unfortunate. I came here expecting mostly "retro" games - Donkey Kong, Galaga, Pac Man, Space Invaders all those old school games but no, the place is loaded with the surge of games that flooded arcades in the 90's too - 4 player Simpsons (complete with TV nearby showing The Simpsons), NBA JAM, Mortal Kombat II, Super Off Road and the coup de gra - Daytona 500. You could easily spend hours here to jump back 20-30 years (I feel old now) to play these games that many of us vividly remember being the hottest thing. All the games are set to free play so no more worrying about bus money to get home since you spent you money trying to take the high score in your Tetris or Save the Galaxy in Star War Trilogy. Even better they have some old consoles to play with too - Gamecube, N64, SNES just in case you want to go back to the Golden years. $10/hour or $25 for 5 hours which is probably the best deal especially since you can come and go, but what trips it up is the difficult parking in Morristown. So you while you're feeding the meter, you're cutting into your game time. You can come and go as you please but you want to pretty much maximize your game time so you probably don't want to stray too far. Staff are friendly and don't bust your chops if you run over your limit a bit. Awesome way to get back to the past and relive the glory days of arcade popularity would recommend coming to get your game on even if you aren't much of a gamer. read more

PROS: - large selection of arcade and pinball games - a game for everyone! - fun for adults, kids, and groups! - easy to lose yourself in a game (which is great!) - reasonably priced - play at your pace and stay as long as you want CONS: - none This place is great if you want to take a break from the typical Morristown scene and restaurants. Once inside you get lost in nostalgia (if you are an adult) or lost in trying to play all the games. This place is a treat and really fun to wonder around. Prices are reasonable as you pay by the half hour and can stay as long as you want. While there we saw so many ppl that were really into their game and yelling with excitement... it was great! Great for adults, great for kids and families. I highly recommend if you are in the area. read more

What fun!! A tremendous selection of pinball machines from the '60'S forward, as well as the full gamut of video games. A true delight!!!

You know the Pixar movie Ratatouille? Near the end when the evil food critic takes that first bite and is instantly transported back to his childhood and he's a completely different person? That was me as soon as I walked into the Game Vault. The first display case has relics like a Commodore 64 (my very first computer I got in 7th grade!) and Atari paddle controllers and those clunky game cartridges for an Atari 2600. I brought my 7-year old boys as a 'test run' to see if we'd want to rent this place out for their next birthday and we all loved the place. Yes - my iPhone currently has more games (all with better graphics and music) but if you're of a certain age (40-cough-cough) - this is what you remember and loved as a kid. (It's worth noting in my town arcades were banned so it was a treat to venture out just to drop some quarters and waste an afternoon playing everything.) And the thrill for me didn't stop... walking in and the very first game is Pole Position (where you sit inside) and then you see 720° (skateboarding) and then the old Atari Star Wars (where you sit down - and I'm happy to report I blew up the Death Star on my first try!). Then I started to get cynical with all the games they didn't have. But I'd walk around a corner and there was Jungle Hunt. And Tempest. And Dragon's Lair! (By the way - that game is still impossible. I think I might've printed the cheat codes on my old Okidata Thermal Printer when I was 12... too bad I didn't hang onto them.) You turn around corner and there's Joust! And Joust 2?! (I don't remember that one at all) And then I started to get bummed cause my favorite Tron was nowhere to be found. But another twist and inside a smaller room (with deposit boxes - oh, it was a bank originally - hence the 'vault' in Game Vault!) is... Tron! Yes! Tapper! (I still have skills doling out the mugs of beer, I'm happy to report) Jungle Hunt! (Almost saved the girl on my second try) Indiana Jones! (Damn this one really brings me back) Q-Bert! Popeye! Gauntlet! ("Magic does not work in this room, Druid.") They also have a nice selection of (more modern) pinball machines and even a PS4 (where my kids eventually settled in to play a Star Wars game that looked as stunning as the movie). There were a few games I fondly remember that they didn't have but that's me just being a miserable old fart. (The boys will definitely be having their birthday party here. And I'll be sneaking out of the room when they're cutting the cake to try my hand at Dig Dug and Burger Time and Rolling Thunder and...) read more

Morristown Game Vault - My childhood came flooding back as soon as I opened the door... - Arcades Near Me - Morristown, New Jersey

Had a really pleasant experience here. There were so many games to choose from, really brought back some great memories. We were there for about an hour and 20 mins and the attendant charged us only for an hour which was really nice. Definitely coming back! read more

We had so much fun at the game vault. When I was a kid we had a pretty sexy and spectacular arcade in my hometown "Arnies" in Westport, Connecticut. How could an arcade be sexy? Well it was! Velvet rope, employees sported bow ties, and the quarters always appeared brand spanking new. Morristown Game vault is not sexy but it IS FUN... good clean fun and it is inside an old bank. One of my favorite arcade games of all time is "Journey". If you have never heard of it you are missing out. This place has THAT game so if you come here...look for it. In addition, The Morristown Game Vault has all of the major old school arcade games. Pricing is about $7.00 an hour. You will get a wristband when you walk in and then they will compute your "game time" as you exit and charge you appropriately. Follow me to read my future reviews! read more

This place was so cool!! My boyfriend is a total gamer and he LOVED every single moment of it!

My group got to visit the Morristown Game Vault when in town for DerpyCon. It's located in the large main room of a former bank. Admission works on a wristband system and all machines are set on unlimited play. This is the best retro arcade I've ever seen with roughly 102 machines available. Almost all machines are in stellar condition and fully functional, I saw one in a back corner down for repair during my visit. Range of machines was incredible with classics including Spy Hunter, Daytona USA, Operation Thunderbolt, Tapper, The Simpsons, Paperboy, and numerous Star Wars games. They have the best section of pinball machines I've seen in years with over a dozen. Machines are even located in the old bank safe! If you love old arcade games, this is a MUST STOP. Absolutely worth the visit and I will be returning. read more

I'm not much of a gamer, but this place is pretty cool. Lots of games available, from pinball machines to old school Nintendo Classic controllers set up to a TV, to PacMan. I'd love to see some boardwalk games added, too (think: skeeball, basketball shooting) and I couldn't believe there was no Duck Hunt!... but I'd definitely go back with the right crowd. $10 for an hour is a pretty good deal, in my opinion. And, how cool is it that it's in an old bank? read more

This is a great addition to Morristown! You can pay by the half hour, which is nice. It's affordable with a great selection of games. The staff and owners are very friendly and helpful. They also offer party packages. Check them out for your next party, date night, rainy or family day! read more

So much fun! You pay per half an hour. The time went by so quickly! The games were diverse as well.

Had a client appreciation event here. My clients love it and they look forward to it. Young and old alike come and enjoy the games they remember as a child. The owner and his staff could not be more accommodating. They go out of their way to make sure that everything is just perfect. I highly recommend this for a fun night out, a private party or even a date night. read more

The good: this place is filled with all of your favorite classic games and some cool decorations. The bad: it's a little cramped, but I was annoyed at the way they charge you. You get a bracelet when you enter then pay when you leave. If you go even one minute over your time, they make you pay for the next amount of time. This is a dirty trick. My $20 visit there (to kill a little time) turned into $30 stop because I tried to leave 4 minutes late. I can't recommend until they change their policies. Telling me to set a phone timer in a place that's so loud I can't hear the alarm is terrible customer service. read more

A hidden gem in Morristown. We stopped by to check it out and was blown away at the games that they offer, it took me back to the old days of playing at the arcade. It was 2 hours for $10. Play first and then pay after which is nice. We didn't play any games but we did walk around checking out the old games like Donkey Kong, Street Fighter and House of the Dead. There is also consoles like a PS4 and Xbox in case you wanted to play more modern games. It could get cramped and hot very quickly with many people in the place which could soil the mood a little but with late night hours and bars across the street, I could see myself coming here before or after a night out on the town. read more
