Nickel-A-Play

This nickel arcade is okay, they have half the games that are free play and then the other ticketed games cost. Some of the games that cost are broken, so you end up wasting a few swipes. The games are retro but not too many options so you run out of things to play. I think more options which everything working could increase the rating.One major con is the quality and prices of the prizes. An Airheads candy is 1300 tickets...for perspective, my partner and I each had $10 game card and got ~350 tickets each...so we didn't even have enough for candy. Prizes are also on the lower quality side, but for fun, it's okay. All staff is super friendly though, which is a nice plus.

The nostalgia! Incredible staff. Affordable day/night out your kid(s). Also if/when a machine malfunctions, the staff is very quick to respond. 10/10 recommend this place as why we keep coming back!

The only reason I'm giving this place 3 stars is because my 6 year old and her friend absolutely loved it. Hubs and I didn't want to touch anything in there! So many of the games were not working and it isn't just a nickel for many of the games. Several of them require anywhere from 6 - 10 nickels. We went on a Saturday and it was absolutely mobbed with people. It was a rainy day so that may have contributed to the madness.Some of the games give tickets- which was a big deal to my little- so we played a few of those games. Though some ran out of tickets while you were playing and you just ended up wasting your nickels or waiting for a staff member to come fix it.The "prize" counter was equally mobbed. But somehow, we all survived- and like I said, my little loved it. So...maybe see if another parent will take your kid??

This place was so fun and extremely affordable! If you enjoy playing games I highly recommend this place. It was definitely a hidden gem in my opinion. It is perfect for family time and a cute inexpensive date. The staff was very friendly and professional as well.

Fun, nostalgic and affordable fun in Aurora. Venture to Aurora and enjoy a fun time at the arcade. We recently went for an affordable date night. On a Friday they had a special for $10 we played arcade games for about 2 hours. We had a blast! Also, many of the games are FREE with zero tokens required to play. Some of the free ones are House of Dead, old school racing games and the Simpsons. Some of my childhood favorites. We also played lots of SKEE BALL, Guitar Hero and table hockey! We laughed and laughed as we played. Highly recommend if you're into old school games and enjoy the nostalgic arcade games.

I would rate it 0 stars if I could. This place is absolutely disgusting and has terrible customer service. I will never bring my child here again. There was literally a kid there with his whole butt out the whole time we were there. Gross.

This is such a fun place to take your kids or if you are really feeling like recreating the 1990s for an afternoon a trip here without the kids would do the trick too. The variety of games included when you pay the "cover" is great and the pricing on the games that cost extra are not bad either. The ONLY complaint I have is that 50% of the free games were broken or on the verge of dying. I understand they are old and this place is cheap, but it was a bit of a bummer.

I love this place! It's nostalgic and great prices. Most of the games are free, you just need a game card for the games that earn tickets or the claw machines, and those are also super reasonable.

We go every week! So much nostalgia just as soon as we walk in . love ittetrismortal kombattekkenpac mantaxi driver

Love this place was fun for both the kids and adults in our party. There was an assortment of prizes to pick from. The staff was the best part of this experience they went above and beyond when it came to helping out the customers. Staff was very interactive with the kiddos. If you are looking for a cheaper options to keep the kids entertained for a few hours this is the place to go.
