They have a great selection of classic arcade machines plus some newer setups, including a Switch 2 and old school Nintendo games from the 90s. The best part is it's only $8 an hour for unlimited play, which is honestly a great deal. When we went, we basically had the whole arcade to ourselves, so it was easy to move around and try everything. The staff was super friendly and welcoming they even interacted with my 2 year-old and made her feel included too. The cafe area was nice too. We only grabbed drinks and a muffin, but that muffin was really good, which is way better than I expected from an arcade cafe. Overall, it's a fun place to spend some time, relax, and revisit some childhood memories. Definitely recommend checking it out.

For a long time the only places where you could play video games in arcades for the most part were…read moreDave & Busters or some run down beach spot. But over the past decade or so there has been a resurgence in arcades with retro old school video games and pinball. I've been to a few of them in NJ, NY and FL. Some are better than others in terms of parking, prices and variety of games. The better ones like Siverball in Asbury Park thrive and the clueless ones like the Museum in Daytona Beach close. The quality and selection of games at Village are top notch. There are some real gems like Fireball, Liberty Bell and The Who inspired Pinball Wizard machine (I wish they had my favorite which is 8 Ball Deluxe). Everything looks great and ran great. Probably the youngest machine in the arcade is Pac-Man and that has to be pushing 40 years old. While there were people coming in and out things never got overly crowded so as to be uncomfortable (although speaking of uncomfortable it is hot as hell inside but such is to be expected in July). What's not good about Village? The change situation. The machines of course take quarters. Unless you're bringing rolls of quarters with you, you're going to need change made for you. While Village has a single change machine on site, it only takes 1's and 5's. And in regards to those bills they should be on the crisper-newer side or else that change machine is not going to take them easily. Several people this past Sunday (self included) were fighting the thing to take bills. To expound further on this change issue, there is no ATM at the arcade or that I could see at any of the shops in the village. While there are a few other shops next door they will not make change for you which is rather inconvenient when the nearest place you're directed to is a 10 minute drive. When I say directed I don't mean by the owner or anyone at the arcade as no one fitting that description was seen in the hour we were there. That info was given by the girls next door in the ice cream shop who told me they tell people about that all the time. If you go: The arcade is open 12-5 on Saturday and Sunday only. Parking is across the street in a few lots that are shared by all of the shops in the village. As other have mentioned, all of the machines are 2 plays per quarter. While that would seem easy enough to remember if you walk around you will almost certainly find multiple machines with plays still left on them. While my review total might seem harsh, note that it's only directed at the change situation which I see as a bad business decision by the owner. I would have spent twice as much if there would have been a feasible way. The machines and set up are fabulous but as a first time visitor you're sort of set up to fail unless you know someone directly who has been here so that they can tell you exactly what you need to bring. Oh well, maybe next time.

This place is sus...as in suspect…read more Your looking at decent wait times for your chance to race on a race track and the controls have attention warnings that mean you have to slow down....legit the system will override you and you will stall out. I personally hate that shit, if I am being a fool I would like the opportunity to hit the wall and learn for my self. Another mention that I have to detail is legit the bathroom was one of the worst kept bathrooms I have ever seen. It looks like a bathroom out of your high school but never attended to. The arcade looks fairly decent however my nephews that attempted to have some fun at the arcade said most of the games were out of order. Although I personally enjoyed myself as this was a new experience racing a go-kart I have to advise you should go to a different spot for this activity. We initially wanted to go to Arnold's Fun Center in Oaks, PA to race but they recently changed the hours and that is why we ended up at this location. Also, be careful if you pay in cash as I received the wrong change and they had to get the manager involved in how to break a $100 dollar bill. If you do choose to pay credit card they will charge you an added fee btw. As always people SYOY!!!

They…read moredo have an online system which is a plus so you aren't stuck there waiting until it's your turn. I think It's better if you go with a lot of people so you can race each other. If not, other people will be apart of your race. The food options are CRAPPY. Definitely eat before you go. They have a couple of "arcade" games for kids but they are definitely out of date. The rock climbing wall was closed when I went. Not sure if it's a seasonal thing or not. There is a one membership fee when you sign up. Not really beneficial if you don't plan on going multiple times a year. Overall, this place needs some updates if it wants to keep people coming. There are more fun places to go.

This is actually a fun place for small group of young kids. To be honest, because the play area…read moreisn't that spacious, it's hard to have a mix age group together. The other day I was here with my little 19mos old along with other moms and their kiddos. From that experience, I wouldn't suggest mix age of younger kids and have a wild 8 or 9 yo to play in the area with the young kids. The older kids are more rough and mobile and I was scare they hurt the little toddlers. It is a nice small clean play area for the kids with 3 small different theme play pretend set ups.

The girl working the front was very friendly and explained everything to us. Their games conveniently operate on a card system that you can add credits to. They had a mix of retro arcade games, pool tables, GP Moto Racing, pinball machines, several crane games, skee ball, air hockey, foosball, basketball games, a jukebox, Photo Booth, punching bag, shooting games and more. For $20 each my kids received enough credits to play almost all of the games and time with the crane games. The crane games had prizes and candy in them. There was a stage area for multi-player games, but the Olympics were on the 10 foot screen at the time. They also had a lounge area with a TV and board games. The bathroom was clean and well maintained. We were happy to see this arcade come to the area. It provided a much needed break from the heat while walking around New Hope-Lambertville!

I never knew…read morethis place existed as it's tucked away in business complex and I don't even remember if there was much signage (it was raining pretty hard and night time). The first great part is when we got out and my wife opened the trunk to reveal a packed cooler of beer! Now, I should note that while you are allowed to bring alcohol, you can't bring hard liquor and you cannot be visibly intoxicated or they will not admit you (probably a smart thing). We had to sign a waiver of course in the event we chopped a limb off (we didn't). And then we were taken back to our lanes. It was a Saturday night and most of the lanes were full, we had two towards the back. One of the employees walked everyone through how we should throw and gave a couple of pointers before everyone took their time to give it a shot. They had great music, it's a relaxed atmosphere and everyone working there was great. We had a phenomenal time and will definitely be returning!

Very fun experience. Three axes you get to handle and throw for either a one hour or two hour…read moresession depending on which duration you pick. You have an S hook Axe (heaviest out of the three), Hatchet (Typical Axe), or the Tomahawk Axe. Close to the end of the session they bring out a Firemen Axe that you can attempt to throw at the target and is easiest the hardest to maneuver. In addition to the Axe throwing, they have a fun baskettball arcade two person competition game that you all should be familiar from the days of your childhood arcade days and many other fun games such as shuffle board, Jenga, darts etc. This is perfect if you have a large party and are waiting your turn to throw as you can play a fun game while you wait. When I think of Axe throwing I am reminded of the beginning of the movie, "The Bodyguard" with Kevin Costner. There is a scene where someone is trying to recruit him to take on the bodyguard job and he is leisurely lobbing an axe at a wooden stake trying to land a shot. I can now see the allure of such a skillful and cathartic experience. As always people SYOY!!!
