    We were invited here for a birthday party and absolutely loved it. The layout is brilliant, it feels like separate rooms without actually having walls, so the kids can play safely without getting lost. Most importantly, it’s not overly noisy, so you don't have to shout just to have a conversation. It was such a pleasant, enjoyable experience for both parents and kids. Highly recommend!

    The Game Preserve is an absolute blast! They have an amazing variety of arcade games spread across multiple rooms, each with its own style and vibe. There’s so much to explore and play that you can easily spend hours here without getting bored. Whether you’re into classic retro games or just looking for a fun place to hang out with friends and family, there’s something for everyone. Thank you Ryan.

    Genuinely one of the best retro gaming experiences I've had. Perfect for date nights or even planned events. Don't forget the Backrooms.

    Love this place so much we had my Husbands Birthday party here last night and everyone had so much fun and the incredibly sweet lady running the place was so patient when it took me a minute to get a bunch of rowdy guys out at the end of the night. We had friends bring kids of all ages and everyone felt welcome.

    Good selection of 80's titles. Great for the pinball lover. Day pass a tad steep for the number of games.

    Classic arcade games, BYOB (food, drink, alcohol, etc) with eating areas. Multiple 4 player arcade games. Loved it!

    Loveeed it! Being a back to the future fan myself, This place is such a gem. It’s full of classics. We ran into one of the owners and he was such a kind person. He even gave us a little back story on one of the oldest machines. Will definitely be coming back soon. 💕

    The thing I love about the Game preserve isn't the cool collection of retro games and pinball machines. In an era where businesses seem to be squeezing consumers for everything they can, good deals are more difficult to find. Finding fun stuff for the family is increasingly costly to the point that it's easier to stay home. The Game Preserve offers family fun at a reasonable price. Pay once and play as long as you like. If you're hungry, snacks are also reasonably priced. The end result is that you can walk away from a visit not only well entertained, but without feeling like you got burned for every nickel you had. I appreciate this above all else! The Game Preserve is a gem!! Do not go to the those terrible game places that exchange tickets for "wins". It's gambling for kids. Instead, go to the Game Preserve and discover how much fun games can be without having to bring rolls of quarters or go home with cheap garbage toys that you "won" with your tickets. We'll continue to be regular visitors and are grateful for the entertainment value that the Game Preserve provides to our family.

    I read the other reviews and it seems most of the games are back running. With that many old games, a lot new too, there’s bound to be some of them not working. The ones that weren’t working have many others like it so it’s not like I was missing out. Super friendly staff! There were tons of pinball games which were my favorite! A super extensive arcade which seems to never end, the pictures I took were maybe 1/3-1/4 of all the games.

    Took my grandson for his birthday. Great fun. Somehow, they managed to keep the noise to a tolerable level. The bathrooms were nice and clean. This place is huge and underutilized with a full kitchen and party area with a private restroom They encourage outside food and drink with a respectful pack it in pack it out policy.
