This place is great to get the kids out of the house or for a date night. You can't bear a flat rate of $15 for unlimited playing. You can bring in your own food and drinks (including beer, etc). It's always clean and if you grew up playing these games it can be very nostalgic. read more

Lots of great games to play here! They keep a list of arcade games on their website and the Pinball Map is always up to date on what pins are out. A lot of the games are older (and well loved) so they may have issues here and there but the staff does a great job keeping these older games up and running majority of the time and they're all on free play too. Pay to get in and that's it. They have a small snack bar for food/drinks but you can also bring your own in, adult beverages included. It's a fun way to waste an afternoon and their monthly memberships are split with The Woodlands location so it's a good value if you can go to both. read more

Friendly staff, super fun. Go with a group. If a game didn't work the staff were very helpful. Will definitely go back.

Had a great time playing unlimited pinball and a corn hole arcade game! Played for over two hours.

Oh yeah this place is rad step back into the 80s with these awesome retro games that will make you happy as pac man eating ghosts . This place has alot of pinball machines and regular old school arcade machines the ones that your parents grew up with . But the price to get a day pass is $15 with alot of free games to play with but your only want to go here for a hour because there isn't alot of variety and ya kinda get bored easily . The staff here is I've and they try their best to keep up with this place . Again like the 80s ... some games definitely have seen better days . Overall it's a cool idea and place just the vibes aren't all there . read more

So many fun games to choose from for a reasonable price. Will come again, so easy to lose hours here.

We love it here. It's plenty of games to choose from for one price. The interior is decorated to perfection. read more

The Game Preserve NASA - Arcades Near Me - Webster, Texas

They responded to my email promptly and apologized for the miscommunication. That's quality customer service.

This place is Amazing! The sight, the sounds the nostalgia... so much fun! You can't beat the price, a $15 cover for all day play! I brought my 12 year old son, he loved it, and didn't want to leave after several hours. I pretty much didn't want to either. read more

The Game Preserve is my favorite thing to do when I'm visiting family in League City. I'm perfectly content here all day with a case of beer and a pizza. I love the game selection and the employees are all great dudes. It never seems over crowded here and you can always get at the games you want to play. If you like retro arcades this is one of the best. read more

Who doesn't love a retro arcade! The game preserve is a HUGE retro arcade with a pay one price system and a ton of retro video games and pinball machines from the last 30+ years. I love that it's a big space so you have plenty of room between you and other players. They also have a good selection of candy, light snacks and drinks. The maintenance of the machines isn't great, with quite a few I tried not working properly, bad joysticks, etc. That being said, it's SUCH a large selection that it doesn't matter that much. read more

Nice place. Has more pinball machines than anything so if pinball is your thing you will love it here. Wife and I went and played Parkman and frogger. It has lots of games probably 30 or so???? We stayed about an hour....... They have a snack bar like bag of chips and candy. read more

It was so much fun. Good amount of old school games, they have an old school projector playing 80s music videos based on the songs chosen. It was a 10/10! read more

Went for the first time today great selection and games and pinball! Being able to bring your own drink/food is pretty cool. $15 for all day access and able to come and go as you please till they close is a plus read more

Okay, who says you can't go back in time? Those who belong to Generation X and anyone who claims to be an '80s or even a '90s kid will have the time of their lives at this really cool tribute to their childhoods. It's an old school arcade complete with video games that were the rage 30 years ago. But what's arguably the biggest draw are the pinball machines. Customers can get lost for hours playing the Iron Maiden and Miss Pacman ones. Throw in some classic rock or New Wave piping from a jukebox -- that's right, a jukebox -- somewhere near the stage area in the back of the venue and you'll feel like you're in 1989 all over again. If you're truly digging the place like I do, feel free to get a membership. A minimum of $15 grants you unlimited access all day. I believe I found a very likely getaway from reality. If literal game preserves are intended to save endangered animals then The Game Preserve NASA is here to do the same for my sanity. Shout-out to my buddy, a huge video game aficionado, for taking me here with his two boys. read more

Super cool spot. Read a lot of negative reviews and yes some of the games were not working and part of the place was closed down but there were still so many games to chose from and we had a blast. It's BYOB and we brought a small cooler with beer and snacks and it was a great little date idea. We love pinball and there were so many machines to chose from. We will be back! read more

This place was so cool! Worth the price and fun games. Great to bring the kids to! Definitely recommend!!

Love love love this place! Whole family enjoys all the old school games and artwork in the hallway that leads to the entrance! Everyone is nice. read more

So much fun and inexpensive. My husband and I were here for date night. We will definitely be going back again.

An awesome collection of arcades and pinball! 70s 80s and early 90s. For 15.00 all day all you can play its a great way to spend an afternoon. Eat before you go because they don't offer food. And I hear it's byob. read more

Fun retro atmosphere and games. Brings back memories with the old arcade games. Love that it is byob and food. Had my sons b-day party there and everyone had a blast. read more

Really fun place! Full of nostalgia and the paintings are awesome! My only complaint is the jukebox never plays my song requests and the bathrooms are disgusting and have ants everywhere. My five year old refuses to use them for this reason and we have a family membership. read more

A bunch of buddies, my wife, and their wives made plans to head out here. Well worth it. A really good time. Unlimited play for $15 a piece. I called before to check on the food situation. They told me they sell ice cream and candy apparently, the place is also bring your own food and or bring your own beer friendly. Lots Of games. The full list is available on their website. Also tons of cool pinball machines. Some highlights for those in the know would be Street Fighter 2 champion edition, Ms. Pac-Man, Deadpool Pinball machine. Tons of other games too, and lots of good 80's music and videos playing on a massive screen in the back. Coming back for sure. read more

It was a nice place, but it was missing something. Games like are nostalgic for people in their late 30s and up, but younger kids have a more difficult time staying interested. If they had fountain drinks, someway of keeping track of high scores and then a reward system for someone getting first place, or some other types of games like the basketball one, pool tables, etc. That would help keep up peoples interest. I took my two teenage boys in for an hour so the person there was flexible with pricing which is normally $15/person. I don't think I would personally spend $15 to spend a considerable amount of time there unless you had someone with you that wanted to play a game from your past for quite sometime. Again...teenagers don't get as excited as people That grew up in the 80s and 90s. read more

Wow. So disappointed. Let's start with the pros: very cool interior, great customer service, BYOB. Need I say more? Normally no. Usually this warrants 3+ stars automatically. But the cons were overwhelming. I've been to something kinda familiar downtown called Joystix which is incredible. Attached to Joystix is a full legit Bar, premium arcades, endless fun. I went into the game preserve with the same mindset but with the bonus of BYOB and also the fact it was much closer to home. Cons: Do you love Galaga? Or how about NBA Jam? Me too! Don't expect to find them though. Look for their knock-off versions instead. Also expect to see several arcades not actually function properly or that have inoperable buttons. The amount of arcades to select from was very small in my opinion. Within 30 minutes my friends and I ran out of things to do. Three pinball machines we played locked up. There is also a a very interesting Arcade Graveyard in the back. It has a better selection of arcades in there. Too bad none of them worked :(. Save your money and hit up Joystix when you can. read more

The family unit and I decided to spend a Sunday afternoon here. When you walk in, you are not really sure where you are going ... it's literally a long hallway before reaching the games. Once in, we were greeted by the 2 friendly employees. For $15, you get unlimited games that are on "free mode". They have a lot of games, some of which took me back to my early teenage days hanging out at the arcade at the mall (yes, that was a thing back in the early to mid-80's) and pinball machines! I was excited to play my old favorites, Pac Man & Miss Pac Man, LOL ... and found myself way better at them than I use to be. However, I was not a happy camper when Donkey Kong destroyed me. I literally could not get past the first level. Fail!!! This was a fun time with the family and highly recommended! We had pizza delivered here, but forgot to bring plates, so we used some napkins they had. It's BYOB, too, if you want to drink. read more

Cool spot. My son and I come and play the retro games. Reminds me of when I was a kid so it's fun to show him the old street fighter and nba jam. I also love a good pinball game so it's cool to bounce between all the machines. It's BYOB but you need to carry them around at all times so a little cooler or lunchbox is handy. read more

Cute, clean, and affordable fun for a date night. Would be great to do again. It's BYO snacks and drinks, so I think we'd do that if we came again. read more

The workers were very nice. Lots of different games. It was great and relaxing environment.

Cool place with a lot of cool retro games, especially pinball. Also cool that it's BYOB.

definitely a cool place with a unique service, but came with 7 boys (making 8 including me) and paid $120. if I had brought a total of 10, it would have been $100 total with a group rate of $10/each... the two kids behind the counter looked at me like I am the jerk because they have a group policy. I said I could go find two randos to bring in and they shook their head like they wouldn't allow it. Would just rather support a business with common sense and customer service. read more

This place is awesome, me my wife and kid love it. Fun place and fair price. Definitely a place to go when you want to relax and have fun.

What a great concept! Games for everyone, young and old. It's an inexpensive way for a fun family outing.

We hosted my son's 7th Birthday party here and it was a GREAT time. The guys up front are super nice and welcoming and all of my guests enjoyed themselves quite a bit. The music is fun and the artwork for this place is incredible; it really adds to the fun vibe. They don't serve food but you can bring your own. Awesome spot that we plan on visiting again soon. read more

Really great arcade! We had a really good time. It's BYOB and they have chips, ice cream, and sodas. I really like the layout. Only bad thing is the bathrooms are terrible. read more

Bargain $15 play all day till midnight lots of games friendly staff BYOB I don't know if they had food or snacks but would be great if they do read more

I cannot say how excited I am that The Gane Preserve has opened up in NASA!! I am familiar with this company from their location off of Sawdust near Spring, TX, but I no longer live in that area. I was headed to the bar next door a couple nights ago when I noticed the sign. I immediately had to confirm it was the same company. I have to say, the place looks beautiful and I am so impressed! I introduced my boyfriend and a couple of our friends to the experience that night and we had a blast! Only $15 day passes! No tokens, and BYOB. It doesn't get better than that, my friends. Thank you for bringing this gem to NASA! read more

The Game Preserve NASA - Eating area and arcade - Arcades Near Me - Webster, Texas

I have been here a few times before and was going to write a review earlier. After today, I really needed to. The ambiance is OK. Really, the best part of the decorations they have are the murals in the hallway leading up to the actual entrance. Inside it's pretty spartan. They have some good games, but some have a piece of paper over them stating to check back tomorrow. I had been going here for a while, and still see the same signs on the same machines. Some games are just broken, and have no sign on them. A lot of the games you hope to find and are either featured in the murals or posters, like Pole Position, TMNT, Q Bert, etc, aren't even there. The absolute worst part of our visit today was the customer service. Previous times I was attended by an employee with a beard, and he was always nice. This time, he was there at one register, but we were dealing with another guy with long hair past his shoulders. From the very beginning to the very end, he was extremely rude and nasty to us. It started off with his just standing there not saying anything to us. So I walked up and said I was checking in and had a membership. He just stood there dazed, and then in an exaggerated manner shook his head from side to side and shrugged his shoulders, then said (dripping with sarcasm) "And who are you?" I told him my name and he looked me up. He said that my membership was expired. I asked him which day it expired, and he said yesterday. I told him we had tried to come the day before but it was closed. He asked, "Monday?" I guess he wasn't sure what day the previous day was. I said yes. He replied that they were closed on Monday. That's what I had just told him. So I asked if it would still work since they were closed on the last day I could have come for my membership. He mumbled something. Then just stood there staring at me. By this point I should have just left, but had brought three other people with me to introduce them to this place. So I told him, "You're just staring at me." Then he said I asked if it would work, and opening his eyes wide with even more sarcasm said, "It will NOT." This employee was extremely hostile and condescending the entire time. In spite of this we were polite and calm. Honestly, the way the interaction should have gone was: How can I help you? Oh you're a member? Let me pull up your information, I'm ready when you are. Unfortunately, it's expired, and we won't honour it despite being closed yesterday, I'm sorry. If it had gone like that, I'd probably be planning to go back as well as the people I brought with me. It left such a bad taste in all of our mouths though. Why have someone who has such contempt for customers there? He was extremely nasty and disgusting the whole time I dealt with him. If you go to this place, and he's working one of the registers, just wait and have the other guy with the dark beard check you in. Save yourself the hassle. read more
