A group of us arcade enthusiasts went here. It was jam packed with fun, weird machines. They also had a few newer games, as well as pinball.

My entire family loved this museum. There are definitely attractions that will entertain everyone, as well as tons of kitschy decor. Marvin's is one of my favorite finds ever. It was so much fun.
[Traci Rowlett, 03/22/2021]Old and new video games and carnival coin machines. Still going strong. A few machines ate our quarters, and the snack bar usually has a line (You might have to worm your way into getting one of the few tables), but it's definitely worth a stop!
