What parents say

1st time visiting this jersey shore town and this spot was one of the places we planned to check out. They offer a good selection of games you can also buy a Groupon deal which gives you unlimited to most games for 2 hours. Staff is friendly, Pamela was th3 one eho assisted up. She was cool and helpful.

Great arcade on the boardwalk. They are open all year, so definitely a great stop on a colder fall evening! Prices are not crazy low, but definitely reasonable for the boardwalk. Staff are super nice. Nice variety of games and everything was working and in good condition.

★★★★★ — Melissa, Oct 2025

Loved the Star Wars battle pod, Space Invaders and Galaga. Halo, Jurassic Park, and air hockey were pretty awesome as well. I was pleasantly surprised to see that the claw machines always have a winner, and got myself a stuffed hamster. Even had a couple of photo booths for nice memories.

★★★★☆ — Kathryn, Aug 2019

I have been going to the Ocean City boardwalk since I was a kid myself. Now I'm a widow going with my teenage son. This year we had three competitions, skee ball, air hockey and pinball machines. I lost everything but the pinball but only bc my son never played bf.
