Best 2p machines in town! Old school arcade - no collecting those silly tickets here! Family loved it. Yes the grabbers are rigged - but so they are all along strip! Classic seaside fun! 🤩

Micheal was very kind, funny and accommodating!! Really made our experience enjoyable and fun! Iv read a few reviews on here and they are not a true representation of the quality and service that this establishment provides! Would recommend a visit here :)

Great 2p machines which is why we went in. My son enjoyed it alot. The staff were mostly nice but there was one guy that was very rude and scaring the children with his attitude. He was a fairly old guy. Also the grabber machines are ridiculously unfair. I know they're not meant to win on every go but they were a joke

Just witnessed a young adult female reduced to tears by lady who works there. Her dog was barking in the arcade and she was asked to leave because it was scaring children. What she failed to appreciate was that those same children had been throwing snaps at the dog all the ways down the street before hand so clearly the dog was scared. Woman wasn’t even interested and was down right rude. Shame on her
