Flipper McCoy's

A very good experience at Flipper McCoy's. There is a wide variety of games for young and older kids. Unlike some arcades, this one has a good mix of old school redemption arcade games like skeeball, rifle shooting, and air hockey, and newer, interactive video games like first-shooter games and arcade racing games. They do have laser tag, pop-a-shot, and your typical arcade games where you play to redeem tickets or instant prizes from toy stations. The restroom is located in the center of the main arcade room which strategically seems like a safe place to situate restrooms in a public place for kids. Like most modern arcades, this one has a prize station where you can redeem earned tickets for prizes. In typical arcade fashion, prizes range from the standard "participation" prizes such as penny candies and small toys to the seemingly unattainable prizes which seem only are achievable by playing games for hours and even days on end. Overall a good experience and I will visit again.

Nice variety of games inside. We just had to buy their card and stock it with money. Most of the games we played were less than $1, but some were def more. We enjoyed pinball, pacman, Galaga, and Donkey Kong. We ended with a bet on skeeball, which I unfortunately lost. Will be back to spend the rest of the balance this week with the niece. Jake n kev

Found this gem today after checking out the Boardwalk. It was clean, friendly staff and wonderful!! We loved the choices of games and the prices were great! Definitely going back again .... and again and again!!!

We came back again this year and so happy to return. One of my favorite places at Virginia Beach and I always spend $50 minimum every time. It was clean, no trash anywhere and staff maintained the place well. Everyone in there seemed to enjoy themselves. I wish I had somewhere like this close at home.

We stopped by this past week with our toddler who had an absolute blast! Facilities are very clean and there are sanitizing stations all around. Great variety of games and staff is nice. One of the highlights of our trip!

Great beach arcade!This was a return visit, because we had a good time last trip. It's a large arcade with electronic cards and tickets, like most modern arcades.I loaded $20 each for my girls and they played for over an hour. They have a great assortment of games. Lots of modern family friendly games like D&B (e.g., card pushers, Monopoly, shark game, knock the clowns), skee ball, mostly $1 each. They also have a bunch of retro games, like pac man, galaga, Donkey Kong for like $.50 and ~5 or 6 pinball machines. The have two pool tables ($2/game). They have a play to win candy crane with real candy (Kit Kat, Hershey) for $.50, so we may have had a candy appetizer before dinner.The prize selection is pretty good, although of course little kid focused. Lots of cute stuffed animals and candy. We earned a bunch of tickets (my girls can game) and left with a fairly big ball blaster. I'll take one good item any day over a bunch of plastic junk. The staff was friendly and the place was well maintained. We encountered zero broken games and one employee even cleaned pool balls while we were there, impressive. One small opportunity is there was no chalk for the cues or at least that we found. I'm sure we will be back next year! What is a summer beach trip without a trip to an arcade?

Adult version of Chuck E. Cheese.They were spacious and plenty of games to choose and play for both kids and parents. Price is not too high and falls within reasonable. Prizes at the end are almost as same as Chuck E. Cheese. Staff is friendly. Not much security around the game area tho. They do not have tickets printing out. It automatically goes into the card.

Oh my husband and I loved this place! They are the few places open during the fall/winter seasons!The place is pretty clean, and the machines are always in order, as well as a good variety!Definitely recommend!

My kids and I had a great time there last weekend. Clean and family friendly. A special thank you to Britt, who took the time to explain how the reloadable swipe card system works, and for being so kind and patient with the kids during the redemption for prizes. We will be back !!

If you or your loved ones are in VA Beach and are looking to spend a little time in an arcade, you should definitely opt for Flipper McCoy's. My boyfriend and I first went to another, smaller arcade on the oceanfront, where we had a good time. However, we then went up the street a few blocks to Flipper McCoy's and--with its better ticketing system and larger game selection--simply had a better time. Though both arcades (like all...) are pricy, we told ourselves "we're on vacation!" and decided to go for it. And, we're glad we did! Here, games don't show as costing credits but, rather, and average $1.25 from on your game card. You first have to buy ($1) and load (any amount) a game card with as much or as little money as you want before you can play. Then, as you go around, you swipe your card until it's empty / time to reload. This arcade had many games to choose from, spread out in two different rooms and extending to the back of the building. I was especially happy about Doodle Jump, skeeball, and coin pusher; my boyfriend was excited about Guitar Hero, basketball, and ball drop. There was something for everyone, any age. There were kids, parents, adolescents, 20-somethings--you name it. We were all enjoying ourselves. When it came time "cash out," we were met with a very friendly man at the prize counter. They have a great system here, where the attendants total up your tickets, you point to what you want, they scan a barcode, and your remaining points are automatically shown on a TV screen above. No old-school calculator!They had everything from candy to electronics. We opted for candy, a bouncy ball, a slinky, etc. A bunch of small stuff that totaled up to our ticket earnings. In an hour or so, we spent a little more than $50 together (two people). It would certainly have been (too) easy to spend more money, though--so be careful! :-)
