    My friends and I came here for the first time, and we had such a fun experience! This place is located in the same parking lot as Orchard Church, so it was easy to find. When you first walk in, it's definitely a "wow" moment. The place is huge and there's so much to look at. There is security at the entrance. They asked to check my bag, which I didn't mind. They don't allow outside drinks. One of my friends had a stainless steel water container, and security just asked her to open it before letting her through. Another friend had to throw away a disposable water bottle. The pricing is honestly very reasonable. Unlimited play is about $30, and unlimited play with re-entry is $40. They also offer a military discount, which is a nice bonus. If you're coming to skate, they have both roller skates and rollerblades available. They don't carry half sizes, though. To rent skates, you'll need to leave your ID along with your first and last name and phone number. They keep your ID safely in an envelope until you return the skates. The arcade alone is worth the price. There are so many games--classic arcade games, vintage machines, bowling, boxing, punching machines, and so much more--and almost everything is included with admission. I was honestly impressed by how much there was to do. They also have an outdoor area with additional arcade games, vending machines, and plenty of space to hang out. The food surprised me in the best way. There wasn't much of a line, but the wait was a little longer than expected. Everything came out hot and fresh, though, so it was worth it. I ordered fries topped with nacho cheese and bacon, and they were delicious. I also got the piña colada slush, which tasted really good. The only thing I noticed was that it had quite a bit of pulp, so the texture was a little unexpected. The skating rink is really spacious with lots of seating around it. We went on a Sunday around 5 p.m. It was definitely popular, but it never felt overcrowded. There were probably around 20 people skating, so there was plenty of room to practice. If you're new to skating, this is a great place. You can practice along the walls, and many people do. You can also skate slowly in the center under the disco ball while getting comfortable. There is always an employee on the rink helping keep everyone safe, and when I asked one of the employees for skating tips, she was incredibly kind and helpful. They do have a few rules that help keep everyone safe. You can't skate against the flow of traffic, and they enforce it. I was also told they're pretty strict about keeping skates on during line dances instead of switching to shoes. There are lockers available for free, although you'll need to bring your own lock if you want to secure your belongings. The interior is one of the coolest parts of the whole place. It's colorful, psychedelic, and filled with awesome anime artwork. Everywhere you look there's something interesting to see. They also have pool tables, a Photo Booth (about $7 for four photo strips), and prize games that require additional payment if you want to win stuffed animals or other prizes. The only reason I'm giving this place a 9/10 instead of a perfect score is the music. Everything else was amazing, but the playlist just wasn't the vibe. It was a mix of different genres that didn't really keep the energy up on the skating rink. I think having a stronger DJ or better music selection would make the experience even better. Overall, we had an absolute blast. We left exhausted in the best way possible, and every one of us said we'd come back. If you're looking for a fun place to skate, play unlimited arcade games, eat good food, and spend a few hours with friends or family, I definitely recommend checking this place out!

    Wow! What an incredible space! Everything about this place is rad! I was surprised how reasonably priced the food is, and good too! The hotdog was delish with the crispy onions on the side.. also, the GA was everything included. Good job with this place!

    Awesome place! So fun Had a date night here and loved it! Such bright colors And skating was so much fun! $29.99 and you play it all!

    This place rocks, 2 rinks 1 of is dedicated for trick skate. Some of the best video games around, a big patio, bar, restaurant food truck, with fantastic sound. Give it a whirl!! The pre fix price seem like a great deal.

    I wish I could have enjoyed this place more, but unfortunately I wasn't feeling well and ended up in urgent care so my rating is based solely on that experience. That said, this place has SUCH a retro vibe. It features a skating rink along with a ton of arcade games, which makes it a fun spot. There's also staff supervising the skaters, which is reassuring. The cost is $29.99 per person on weekends and, I believe, $25.99 on weekdays for an all-day pass. One downside, bottled water (Niagara) is priced at $4.00, which feels pretty steep for something that typically costs much less. One thing to note: you can't come and go freely, so plan ahead either eat beforehand or grab something there. They have food trucks and other options available. If you do need to step out, it can't be for more than about five minutes, or you may have to pay again (according to security). I didn't test that limit, but I did step out briefly to put my glasses away... about three minutes. Also, the only proof of payment is a stamp, which can wash off easily. If you step out, make sure to get restamped just in case. There's plenty of parking in the area, which is a plus. I'd definitely come back to fully enjoy the arcade next time.

    Tip automatically added without my doing so, just to enter the establishment.

    Make sure you confirm exactly what you are paying for. I went on 08/15/26 at 7:00 PM. I asked for entry for 2 without re-entry. Total came out to $80. Hostess verbally told me the total, i didnt think twice and tapped my card. Afterwards, looked at my receipt and the young girl added a $12 tip on my behalf. I not once saw a screen to even add a tip. So she added that on her end hoping i wouldnt notice something was off. Why would i even tip just to enter the establishment? Thats crazy! I will be calling for a refund and likely not going back. Not the first time ive been ripped off by this place.

    Had the BEST time at Arcade Monsters! Such an awesome spot -- it totally feels like stepping into a retro 80s arcade dream. The decor is incredible, with amazing wall art, anime everywhere, and so many cool details to look at. For only $25, you get unlimited play, which includes skating, mini bowling, dancing, and tons of arcade games. It's seriously such a great deal and perfect for a fun date night. Everything about this place was amazing, amazing, amazing. We'll definitely be back!

    coool place will be back. They have great games and the darts are the most fun! amazing place

    Yeah...no. Went for the first time today with wife and kids. When you walk in there is just a little check in table with 2 prices listed. While people wait behind you as you figure out what you are paying for. If you are coming in to just watch your kids skate it's $30 whether or not you skate. Tons of arcade games around the place. And plenty of tables to sit at around the rink. Cool decorations and paint. Cons: Limited options to pay, especially for parent chaperones not participating. Rink needs better AC and cooling. DJ tried scratching and made it sound bad. $30 for anyone to walk in the door. Should separate rink from games so parents can watch kids and get a stamp if you paid the $30 to play unlimited games. Pros: Cool decor, good skates, and cool games/pool tables. Staff was friendly. Overall, it has potential. Wish they would reconsider the entry, menu display, and options. And better air on the rink.

    I've already been to the one in San Diego but this one is better in my opinion. It's in a shopping center so free parking available. It's one floor and spacious. They have a roller rink and an outdoor area that the other location doesn't. They don't have as many food options but still good enough. It is definitely a lot of fun and not too expensive!!

While there is an option to purchase tickets there, it's better to pre-pay and fill out the waiver online. Actually, the waiver didn't matter as they gave us our wristbands and ushered us through. The number of walk-ins is limited and sells out fast. We got the 8pm time slot for 1.5 hours, which is ample time to skate. However, so many people had the little push seats to balance with and zip around that they were causing skaters to fall. I got hit from behind and pulled down onto a kid's skate. Yes, part of the nature of the venue but it would have been easier to navigate with less people on the ice. Funniest parts of the evening were, when my friend was filling out my waiver, she asked me if I wanted a helmet and I gave her a look... "what?! A helmet!! No!" When I fell, she was behind me and deadpanned, "shoulda got the helmet". I might go again if friends want to go, but I'd rather go to a roller rink or actual ice rink instead. Pros: - cute date idea - long sessions Cons: - kids mess around way too much - adults messing around with the ride-on toys - too crowded

We were supposed to go in at 3:30, we did not go in until 3:45 according to staff it was due to the previous party taking long to leave... we were the second ones to arrive but our party was the the last one to get seated and that's only because my sister asked one of the girls. Once in there everything was fine until they brought the pizza. The pizza was cold! We were never told the do not make the pizza there! The package we got came with 4 pizzas and we were told on the phone that if we needed more we could just let them know the day of but it would take a little longer. Once the pizza arrived besides being cold we realized it was from little Caesars. I don't mind the pizza being from there BUT at least make sure it's hot! The young lady who was helping us with the pizza and drinks would just take things without asking. When it was time to clean she didn't ask if people were done, she just started taking off the plastic table cover with everything still on the table and rolling it getting ready to throw everything away until we told her that there was personal stuff on there! That's just rude! You ask if people are done not just assume everything on the table is trash. Then she took the pitchers with soda without letting anyone know and people were still drinking specially when they were done skating. When it was time the security starts staring you down by your table and starts saying you need to hurry up and get all your things, my husband told him oh you guys want us to hurry but didn't mind letting us in late well now we're going to take our time. Overall this place needs a lot of improvement when it comes to organizing parties. Train your employees to always ask the people on their tables if they are done with something before throwing it away or taking it away. Sell little Caesar's pizza double/triple the price but at least make sure it's hot before serving it!

I don't feel comfortable taking lessons when it's too crowded. It mostly feels like that almost 90% of the time. When I mean crowded, crowded as in, in a line of 20+ students, the instructors prompt the class to skate across the ice, and you're too busy looking over your shoulder trying to not trip and crash into another person. You ever drive and see other people driving and swerving in and out of their lanes? This is a similar scenario, but with literal blades on your feet. Not a bad thing entirely, but the lessons are nerve wracking because of this. The quality of lessons are okay. Most of the instructors are much younger junior coaches, and they are friendly. However I feel like there is no direction and curriculum when the junior coaches teach. There are also senior coaches in some of the classes and I much preferred the senior coaches as they had a better sense of what to do in what level. In comparison to the other rinks I go to for lessons, the ones that require you to be enrolled in the Learn to Skate association before enrolling had better curriculum and I actually learned more stuff there than I did here. Now for the public sessions.... I normally go on the weekends. Public session hours are only available during certain hours on the weekdays but not really ideal for working adults, so I go on the weekends. But it. is. so. crowded. Crowded as in, too much traffic on the ice, and the ice is always melting! The ice doesn't stay solid and is really slippery, and I found myself always tripping and wreaking havoc to my knees. I think that experience alone makes me never want to use my free public session passes at all. If they had opened their public session hours more during the evening hours, I probably would go here more.
