In all honesty, I got here pretty often just because I'm bored. However that doesn't mean I don't think this place could be better. About a quarter of the games weren't working last time I went and I was super upset about the Mortal Kombat 4 cabinet's player 2 not working because it was the first tie that my friends from out of town visited the arcade with me and i wanted to play with them. The candy selection you get from the ticket counter is lame, there's only Laffy Taffys and Warheads, and sometimes those aren't even there. Overall this place to really cool to kill a few hours at, my biggest thing is having so many cabinets and games not work everytime I'm there

Always a very fun place to go. For $10 you can have fun for a couple of hours. Whether you are a child or an adult it is so much fun. The staff is so very friendly and amazing.we will definitely be back

My son likes it here and so do I but in recent times they are slipping, they don't restock the prizes, it's warm in there a lot of games were out of order and it looks dirty. With Covid they should be wiping down more. Not that I'm blaming the arcade, but my son and I ended up sick afterwards.

This is one of my kids favorite places to go. At 3$ per kid and the most expensive game being 20¢ we spent all day here and did not brake the bank!

It's a fun, inexpensive place to take the kids even when its packed on the weekends. I just wish they had some better prizes! ‍️

Some if the good games were broken. But the ones that were broken last time i went were fixed this time. So they do have maintenence on their machines. Very clean place kind of small but it does the job. And only for 5 cents a game? I handed everybody 20 dollars to play with and I ended up getting 10 dollars back from everyone and we were there for 2 and a half hours. Before we left.

We all know that Oh Wow Nickel Arcade is for the kids.and the kid in all adults.
A wrist band is 3.95$ and then it's all nickels from there out. Lol. Good family fun. Glad to see the business up and running again. Covid has taken it's toll on everyone. Take the family and enjoy the day!
Enjoy!

You can come to this place, spend hours here, and only use 10 dollars. Each of the arcade games cost nickles, all the machines were working, and the prizes were fun to get.

Low entry cost for even more low cost fun. They are several one nickel games and they go about to 4 nickels a play. A good balance of games to at and earn tickets on. The attendant working the counter was awesome at handling everyone's request as well as maintenance staff dealing with game malfunctions while we were there. Highly recommend it for families with young kids looking for a fun night out or even a date night for the gamer at heart. We look forward to coming back.

Customer service here is extremely bad and I think they overall need a brand new staff.they wouldn’t give me a refund and the woman in front seemed extremely crabby toward my son, if you’re not able to deal with children you should not be working there!

My son had a blast on his birthday.
I was hooked on the claw game that win big ROLLS of tickets.
