Total time warp ! We had a blast walking through the shop . It's part museum and an arcade as well . So many unique items here , if you're a collector you'd love this place. If you're not a collector- it's so much fun . I enjoyed looking through the vintage board games !

Wow! What a gem for all ages! We came here to kill time and ended up staying for twice as much longer than planned! We originally were just going to check out the store front, but ended up giving in to the whole museum and free play arcade admission! Engaging in a scavenger hunt throughout the store PLUS playing all of the OG arcade games PLUS exploring all of the nostalgic things all at once was so fun for us that we found ourselves encouraging other people we met throughout the day to go check it out too! We stayed long enough to experience both the weekend rush and had a good chunk of time with the whole place just to ourselves too. If you're in the area, we recommend this being on your to-do list!

Such a great experience for our friend group coming to Austin! Unlimited arcade games and so much nostalgia! Totally worth the trip!

One of the several display/game areas.

If your a toy collector then you will find this place extremely interesting. A vast collection of action figures and other items, all grouped and displayed within their own giant dioramas. Every inch of this place is just covered with items, even the passage to the restrooms. Lot's of classic video games going back to the original space invaders and all on free play. There is a cover charge to get in but you can stay and play as long as you like. If your not into playing the games then the entry fee is a little steep. But, I can see they need to charge to keep the place open and pay the bills and probably machine upkeep. Recommended if your into playing retro games and pinball.

What a hidden gem. Looking to kill some time? Stop by the Texas Toy Museum. it is a love letter to the kid in all of us. It's a small museum but you get in and out privileges for the whole day. They offer some food and beer. The clerk was super sweet and was very talking. The layout of the music Is smart. Work your way through your child hood. All those arcade games you grew up with you can finals finish with unlimited game play. Great for the solo adventurer or with the kids.

What a fun place to be. They have it all in means of older toys and they have everything. They give you a scavenger hunt to do while you're looking. They also have quite a few pinball and old arcade games and an NES and super NES with games to play as well. What a fun way to spend an afternoon.

Best place for adult, teens and kids. The scavenger hunt was so fun to do. Totally coming back.

Best place for adults, teens and kiddos alike. The scavenger hunt was so fun and can't wait to come back. Loads of fun for hours in AC.

Flash back to the good ole days of toys and action figures! Highly recommend!! Tons of games to play with free play! Big kids and little all will enjoy!

Classic games! Very cool blast from the past. Worth going for sure. Also Ac works great! Friendly staff

The atmosphere is very chill yet a bit upscale. Not a cut off jeans and tank top place for sure. The staff that waited on us was super friendly and on top of everything. Refill on drinks, no worry they were right there! The portion sizes are large but not overly huge. Which made for a nice take home meal later on in the day. Nestled up to a running creek, a constant breeze blew thru and just made everything perfect! Looking forward to my next trip!

Needless to say we moved ourselves to another table and were too grossed out to remain for anything additional. Yes, spider webs can appear and an establishment not be considered gross but this wasn't that kind of web. This was a your servers:cleaners don't t actually clean, web - nope won't be back.

Came to the Guest House to use some InKind credits for their Happy Hour, which runs Monday through…read moreFriday from 4pm to 6pm. Just make sure that you order food by their 5:30pm cutoff. The ambiance is very intimate, with low lighting and some booth seating. It's a good date or celebration spot. Off the Happy Hour menu, we ordered: Spicy Salmon cones = $4 each. Tuna cones = $5 each Spicy Rigatoni = $15 Street Corn = $8 Dessert (Full price): Brown Butter Cake = $18 Lemon Swirl Cheesecake = $20 Campfire Brownie = Complimentary as it's my friend's birthday. The tuna and salmon cones were fine, but were so small that it was a bit surprising to us. The spicy rigatoni was the best rigatoni I had ever had, and it is actually spicy. It had a bit of a kick, and the flavor pairs well with the pasta. The street corn was good. The brown butter cake was my favorite, while the lemon swirl cheesecake had too much of a lemon taste for me. The campfire brownie is cool when they light it on fire, but it's just ice cream and brownies. Finally, their house bread is so buttery and flaky that it straight up melts in your mouth. Some might say it's too buttery, but I loved it. The service was amazing, as you would expect in a place like this. I was still seated even though my entire party was running late. I definitely recommend this place and will try their dinner menu!

We did have a little service hiccup when our server left us waiting for quite a while. I also understand that things happen and sometimes a busy restaurant gets hectic, so I don't want to judge the entire experience based on that. What impressed me was how Khloe, the manager, stepped in and handled it. She was incredibly helpful and made sure we were taken care of, which really changed the experience for the better. The atmosphere is a lot of fun. Good music, sports playing on the TVs, bottomless mimosas, and games for anyone who wants to make a day of it. There's something for pretty much everyone in the group. Next time I'll definitely be trying some of the games. Between the food, drinks, music, sports, and overall vibe, this is pretty much the definition of a Sunday Funday spot. I'll definitely be back!
