Beach Arcade

I wish I could give -1 stars honestly... I hate leaving bad reviews but most of the games didn't work. Half the building if not more. They don't have VR like the reviews said. I'm not sure if those are paid reviews or what. If it's rainy and you have young kids maybe $20 is worth it but I wouldn't recommend it.

My family and I came to visit some family around VA and we stumbled across this arcade. Super nice & friendly staff. Hand sanitizer is provided & masks are enforced. Very nice establishment and fun for the whole family.

They work on a reloadable card here like Dave n' busters. The atm machine here wasn't working and there wasn't an attendant around to help either. Cool, clean place to play games if you can get the atm and their machine that gives the cards to work.

Don't waste your time going here. Small and your play doesn't get hardly any time on the games. Better to go to Shorebreak or Dave & Busters and just leave the oceanfront and the pay parking. NO RESTROOMs! I was told to walk to 17th street if I had to use the restroom. Maybe tell people that before they spend money to play.

Ok, so I walked in with high hopes. The three stars are because it's clean, the A/C works great, and the guy behind the prize counter was nice. I don't feel I can rightfully complain about the prices because it is a tourist trap, after all. It was a good stop for a chance to cool off, but you have to spend at least $20 on credits if you want 15-20 mins of entertainment for 1-2 people. The breakdown: 1 credit = 25¢, most games cost 4-8 credits ($1-2) per play ... only the stand-alone old school pinball machine is 2 credits (50¢). Loss of 1 star because ... 3 of the games we played were malfunctioning in some way. The "mega crane" machine costs 8 credits ($2) and only moves side to side, not front and back. When I told the guy at the desk about it, he told me that you have to move the crane all the way to the right and THEN it will move forward and back. He said there's a sign posted that it malfunctions... I went back and couldn't find a sign of any kind. SMH.2nd star lost because... They don't tell you (and it's not posted in the machine) that when you purchase the card with credits on it (required), it automatically charges you 2 credits (50¢) for the card itself. Overall, there's a lot they don't disclose and when you ask about it, they're flippant about it because they know you can't do anything. Overall, it was a waste of money for the games. As with most places like this, the tickets we won (300) got us the equivalent of 10 pieces of candy or 2 bouncy balls. My kid had fun but was mostly mad and felt cheated that the machines were broken... we could have taken a dolphin seeing boat tour down the road for the same $20. We don't plan to return.

My boyfriend and I were visiting VA Beach when we found this gem. While out walking around we stopped in to allow for our inner child to explore. They have different play packages such as a 1 hour play time (unlimited plays for 1 hour - no tickets), Dollars (cash or credit) for credits (with the ability to reload at the Kiosk), they also have "hero" credits with valid ID. I will always continue to support business that recognize and support Law Enforcement, Military, and First Responders. All the staff were super friendly and helpful. The variety of games were inviting, all of which were a good time. The place is clean and well maintained. Thank you to the entire staff for being so kind and helpful. We will return on our next trip.

My little one (and hubby) loved this place. The facility is clean. There are several games to choose from. No money is used, just to purchase a playing card, and from there you swipe and all points go onto the card. When you're done, you may choose your reward at the back. Fun place!

Most games don't work and only some of those are labeled as not working. Go down a few blocks to flippers, they have machines you can load a card up with and don't have to ask the one teen staffing the place for it. Their stuff works too

Worst arcade I've ever been to. Didn't even trust the machines to even attempt to buy credits to play. A good 1/2 to 3/4 of machines were broken, powered off, or had some "game is still programming" sign which doesn't even make sense in any case. In a resort are, where parking is $10 and it's bloody hot out, you shouldn't even open for business in this state. Waste of time, and staff behind prize counter looked unamused as can be.

My boyfriend and I had a fun time at this beach arcade. It was a nice walking distance from our resort (5th street end of the oceanfront). Although some of the machines were out of order, they had other or alternative games to play--so our experience wasn't too impacted. It was nice that we could load money ("credits") onto a game card to then just swipe at each game until it was time to cash in or reload. We played for about 20 or 30 minutes with $20 on our game card, ultimately cashing in for some individual candy. The staff were very friendly and the place was clean. Would recommend!
