A cool spot behind the hotel. Beer and old school video games. Frogged, Tapper, Space Invaders, Super Mario, a pong game, and many others. Good place to kill an hour.

The cutest arcade I have been to in a long time. A++ on the Retro look!! Of course because this was a retro theme Arcade, there weren't to many games my 3 year old could play but it only cost $10 for an all day pass so that was great! Overall, this was a great experience.

This is THE BEST retro arcade I've ever been in, it's exactly how I would design the perfect room. It's clean, it's well designed, its well decorated, the person in charge put all the right games in, all the games are in great shape, I loved the snack and drink selection, and the 80s throwbacks everywhere (from the music videos to the "Flynn's Arcade" neon light) were just pure perfection. The prices are 100% fair, and my only regret was having to leave, knowing I live six hours away... Such a bummer. I will NEVER not stop here when traveling South though, I'm in love with everything about this place and my five year old loved it too.

This place scams you. We payed for a 90 minute play card and it only gives you 90 credits. No employees could be found. Waste of money

Went here with my kids & husband on a Saturday afternoon and it was packed. There were more people…read morethan there were things to do. People would park themselves on the arcade games so that no one outside their group could get a turn. Since several of the nicer arcade games were not working, that meant we had to wait for a looooong time to play the newer games. The staff called the laser tag waitlist out of order so people who signed up after us were let before us. This was our first time here so I had questions about how things worked and the staff seemed uninterested in answering those questions. They also seemed frazzled (I don't blame them) by the throngs of people and therefore unable to maintain order. The food & drinks are 100% junk food and of course one can't bring in outside food or drinks so you're stuck with their selections of sugar, corn syrup, grease, and more sugar & corn syrup. We spent nearly $100 for Bodacious passes, games that don't take passes, and junk food. I wouldn't go here again based on this experience, but my kids will surely talk me into it.

This rotting relic needs to be shut down for having one of the most dangerous laser tag arenas on…read morethe planet. This, plus other maintenance and customer service issues, show that the people in charge don't care at all about the building's safety or customers. The got rid of the $30 all day deal which was the only reason it was worth driving an hour out of the way to go to this derelict carcass of a venue. I've seen injuries every time I've been here it's a wonder they have been sued into oblivion yet.
