My son and I visited today in the extreme heat, and I can honestly say we had a wonderful time. We loved the mix of retro machines, racing arcades, and VR. I think even non-gamers could find something to enjoy. The main reason for the five stars has to be Sarah, who helped us with the VR. She was just fantastic, I can’t say enough great things about her. Her interactions with my son were incredible and really made our visit special. You’ve gained customers for life. Thanks again!

We took my partner’s son and his friend (along with my partner’s two daughters) to the Arcade Warehouse today and had a fantastic time. The children really enjoyed themselves, and I was pleasantly surprised at how good it was. The venue is packed with games everywhere you look, and our favourites were the VR games. Highly recommend! A special shout out to Georgie, she was very helpful and always had a smile on her face. It’s a great idea if anyone is looking for a birthday activity. Two hours was the perfect amount of time, and the food and drinks were fairly priced.

Great experience for the price, and the two hour window seems the perfect amount of time as all the times I've been I've felt done within ten minutes of the session ending; the only qualm is that on busier days there is often limited access to the popular machines as there is only one of each and you can end up waiting a while for one machine / type of game, but there's normally enough options otherwise to fill those times

First time visiting after our son asked to do "something fun". The lady who greeted us was lovely, like she knew us. After asking all of us if we had been before, she focused on explaining to our son (who is 5) what the place was all about which I thought was a really nice touch. The range of games was really good, the 2 hour time slot could be abit tight if you wanted to play VR, have a game of pool and try some of the traditional games but for us it was perfect. Good range of refreshments facilities. As a person who has an ostomy bag, I was impressed with the toilets which had ample area for me to lay out my supplies and equipment whilst changing and cleaning up We will definitely go back. Thanks for a great evening.

We had an absolutely unforgettable experience at this fantastic arcade in Lincoln City! From the moment we walked in, the vibrant atmosphere and dazzling array of games captured the hearts of both kids and adults alike. The sheer variety of games is mind-blowing—classic claw machines, high-energy racing simulators, interactive dance games, and even nostalgic pinball machines ensured that everyone in our group, from toddlers to teens (and yes, even the parents!), found something to love. The staff truly made this visit stand out. They were incredibly friendly, patient, and went above and beyond to help us navigate the arcade and even offered tips to maximize our fun on some of the trickier games. Their enthusiasm was contagious, and it felt like they genuinely cared about making our day special. The facility itself was spotlessly clean, well-organized, and felt safe, which is so important for a family-friendly spot. We spent 2 hours here, and the kids are already begging to go back! Whether you’re a local or just visiting Lincoln City, this arcade is a must-visit for a fun-filled day. Huge kudos to the team for creating such a welcoming and exciting environment. We’ll definitely be returning on our next trip! Let me know if you’d like to add specific details (like a favorite game or a staff member’s name) or adjust the tone further!
