We've been clients of this passion project for a very long time. This evening threatens that. I guess it's authentic to have the shop run by kids, right? Our arcades were pretty sketchy in the 80's. But the last two times we visited, the bathrooms were completely neglected. Tonight, there is no toilet paper in the women's room. The "soap" is a sludge. The sanitizers are empty. So now I am playing with people who have sh!fingers. It's just GROSS when am adult owns a business and lets it degrade to the level of children's hygiene. ​ The other worrisome thing is that people have brought a toddler and they have been sitting in the same place for at least two hours on their phones while the toddler goes in and out of sleep. There's a five year old walking around with a box to climb on. Didn't see his parents near him. Were they zoned out on the sofa? It's just so gross. There should be an age limit after a certain time of day. Those kids need to be in bed. Starfighters can do better. It takes very little effort. It's unhygienic and without an age limit, negligent parents can bring their problems here and hope they entertain themselves.

Omg! We had a blast! Such a great afternoon! My arms will be sore tomorrow. We all loved the experience!

I wonder if they will ever get the bubble bubble game. Or dance dance revolution? This place is a Nerd Paradise. I wish they were open everyday. Do you need help?

This was the location of my son's birthday party! It was the best! Our host was helpful with set up along with the competitions. There are a ton of machines. The party room where we had the food set up was a bit tight but the boys were so excited to play arcade games they didn't bother eating.

This kid loves driving games and there are a decent number of them to choose from at Starfighters.

I don't get out here often enough, but I love this place so much. Riddled with pinball and lovingly cared for 80's + 90's arcade games, this is a dream come true for any classic arcade enthusiast. I've been to starfighters a good number of times, and just love it here, hands down, best you'll find in the entire valley of the sun. Every nook and cranny of this warehouse arcade is filled with something exciting to play and if your game is pinball, there are soo many of those here for your enjoyment. While I didn't go and count them all, I'd guess there are somewhere in the 50+ range of working pinball machines that live their lives here, just waiting for you to come and enjoy them. The best thing about this place is its extremely reasonable entry price. You pay $11 per person, and play as long as you'd like during the business hours or a monthly pass will set you back about $35; what a steal. Once you're through the doors every game is set to free play and won't cost you another quarter. With games like pinball, pack man, tron, dig dug, centipede, star wars, marble madness and many more, if you're looking for that nostalgic arcade experience for yourself or want to introduce your kids to some of your own favorites, you MUST stop in for hours of fun!

TRANSPORTED BACK IN TIME! Woah, Back to the Future vibes in here! Not only do they have retro games, but they also have retro decor! It feels like a time capsule in here! It is only $11 to play unlimited during the time they are open for the day. This is worth it even if you come for only an hour, the price can't be beat compared to any other arcade I've been to. There's every kind of game. The employee, Kay, was awesome and gave us a little tour and told us that any arcade game you can think of from the late 70s to early 90s, they most likely have! They even have a DDR machine that is from 2002. I enjoyed playing Star Wars, Millipede, and Paperboy! Come try this place out whether you were raised in the 80s and are experts at these games, or if you're young and just wanna try your hand at some older games!

Flash Gordon pinball! Great movie too

See all

Hidden gem. Throwback to the arcades in the 80's. Kind of hard to find since there isn't really a sign out front.

Is there skee ball?

No skee ball. Lots of pinball and vintage arcade cabinets though

Would love to get home repair to a pinball machine but can't seem to get though via email or website. Any other options?!

Firebird Pinball can assist, Starfighters can only give advice for repairs. For advice contact Starfighterspinball@gmail.com

I want to take my kids, but is it 21 and over only?

Do they take debit cards? Or is it cash only to pay the fee for entry?

They take cards (at least the last time we were there). Tip: keep food and beverage in the car and leave for a "recharge" every so often.

I recently checked out the $29.99 unlimited gameplay deal, which included an entree (drinks not…read moreincluded), unlimited games (bowling shoes $4.95 extra), and a $10 arcade card with 50 points. I ordered the Double Cheeseburger with the Cotton Candy Shirley Temple ($4.99 extra). We decided to bowl for 2 1/2 hours; it was so much fun! We went around noon on a Monday before the crowds, so only a few lanes were full at the time. The food was so good and flavorful! The burger was so juicy and cooked perfectly! I loved the drink; it was so fun and a great photo op! We played a few games of billiards , and afterward, we decided to check out the arcade. I was a little sad some games were out of order, so I only got to play a few, but overall I had a great time! This is such a great deal for the price and what's included! I definitely recommend checking it out!

The pass included 2 slices of pizza as well, the kids got meal tickets to cash in. Mini sliders came with smashed patties, caramelized onions, special sauce, lettuce & tomato. They were listed as an appetizer but I preferred if over a full size burger because of the crispy edges & meat : bread ratio. Salads, fried pickles, fries, Brussels sprouts, etc were all very well made. I was honestly surprised on the quality of everything because my bar was set on Dave & Buster's. Highly recommend for groups of kids. We will definitely be back!

Came here for a private event where there were claw machines along each side of the two walls and an instagram worthy wall of cute stuffies! They had a few small machines of small goodies and then one huge machine for the huge claw goers and the rest were just right sizes. Many of the stuffies were cute- not just okay but cute! It's $1 per token where you buy in increments of 1,5,10,20,etc. You can even trade your smaller stuffies for a bigger one depending on how many you have to trade. The place was clean and owners were super nice and friendly. This is worth coming back for some fun!

You get gold coins to play your chance at winning a toy of your choice...that is if you can master the skill of clawing. Kid or adult it's fun trying to see if you can get a toy at the first chance. I had to make some guesses and lost but that's the fun of it. There's also some guaranteed wins if you spend more coins for mini figurines or key chains. We ended up cashing most of it in for the for sure winner figurines. The staff there were super nice and helpful and accommodating to the kids' wishes. So we came out happy campers and no tears in the end. This is a perfect place to take your kids or friends for a reward or birthday treat! Don't forget to take your pic at the Cozy Claw wall! It's filled with all the cutest plushies!

I bought discounted tickets ahead of time which I thought would save us time, but not really. There was definitely a staffing shortage and not enough people to run all the rides, but the people that were there were bouncing bavk and forth so the kids could rude everything. There was a good amount of games for kids to play ad well. My favorite is always the clown game :) The buffet was so so, like most buffets. My kids wanted pizza and cookies. My husband and I tried the salad and pasta. It wasn't too bad, nothing spectacular though. My biggest problem was the lack of any supervision near the food. Kids run rampant in this place and no one is watching. That is a parenting fail, obviously. But the food is unsupervised so kids are running up and grabbing cookies in an unsanitary way and ice cream was everywhere! Full cones of ice cream were being dropped on the floor with no one to notice or pick up. Would we go back? Probably not. It was more than I want to pay for the experience I had. My husband and I also had food poisoning afterwards, which seems normal for a buffet.

Great place to bring the kids. I stopped in because my bestie was visiting from CA. I heard the…read morefood was just ok. A lot of fun to choose from bowling, laser tag, games, and more. Mostly full bar, didn't have aperol, so went with a Kettle and soda.
