We have kid's party packages and catering packages as well as individual catering platters. We offer pizzas, Tetris-shaped tater tots, chicken tenders, wings, sliders and more!
All of our games are token operated. The kids party packages and catering packages do include tokens. We have cash-operated token machines throughout the arcade and an ATM on site. You can also add tokens to your tab in $10 increments. The games take 2 to 4 tokens per play. Each token is valued at $0.25 each. Tokens are non-refundable.
You're welcome to bring in a cake or cupcakes if you'd like. We have plenty of plates, napkins and silverware. No outside food besides cake/cupcakes and no outside beverages are allowed.
Yes! Most people bring in balloons, banners, and tablecloths. We just ask that you please do NOT bring in any confetti, glitter, silly string, candles/flames/fireworks or piñatas and that you take all decorations with you when you leave. Birthday candles are okay! Please be sure balloons are properly secured.
