We were cruising through Oregon and Washington with our dog in the van. The Pacific Northwest has…read moremany establishments that offer pinball with machines that work well. Waterland Arcade is one of them. Certainly not the largest venue and they have quite a mix of video arcade games as well. Everything that I played on worked as expected. Not every arcade can make that claim. What was really cool besides the games were the people who worked there. Friendly, laid-back and willing to answer questions. My wife didn't but sat outside the building at a table and chair with the dog. We were meeting friends for dinner somewhat nearby, so I had a couple of hours to work out some energy. I had originally intended to spend some time in Hillsboro, Oregon at a major arcade but failed to note that they were closed on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, so I wasn't able to get my fix in. The admission fee is a quite reasonable $16 per person age 14 and over. I am a first responder and appreciated the 10% discount on admission and drinks. Military members, Nurses and Teachers also receive the same discount. They claim to offer over 40 ice cold craft beers and ciders, but I was happy with my Diet Coke.

This was a fun place to escape from reality and a true blast from the past. It truly felt like we…read morewere back in an original arcade many years ago. I originally thought this was a place meant to look like an old arcade based on reviews and pictures but this is truly an old arcade. Everything from the smells, carpet, machines, and vibe brings you back to the peak arcade days. There are a couple newer machines like Minecraft and 4 person PacMan but the majority of the machines are classics. They have multiple coin machines to exchange cash for coins and it seemed like games were between 25-75 cents each credit. We didn't try any of the food or drinks so I can't comment on that but there were other people enjoying that. They had signs on the front door that kids are allowed until a specific time as well.

It looks like there's a space for private parties but may have to ask about that. This place is good for family fun activities. But after 9 pm it's 21 years old and up only. This Arcade is so much fun! It totally reminded me of when I was younger. So nostalgic. They have old school pin ball machines and video games like PAC-man, Donkey Kong and they have air hockey and so much more. They serve pizza but unfortunately i didn't get to try it because we ate dinner before coming here. But I heard it was good. They have tons of choices for drinks. The ambiance is lit. I mean like bright lights, neon colors, and it's very loud. But I think that's to be expected. Also they have a DJ in the arcade which I've never seen in an Arcade. Service was great! People were friendly.

I visited this arcade bar with my kids hoping for a fun afternoon. Despite hearing about past…read moreincidents with protesters, I wanted to give this place a chance, hoping it had redeemed itself into a positive local spot. Unfortunately, the experience was completely ruined by the service. The owner, Les, was incredibly rude and unprofessional. When I politely asked why several of the machines weren't working, he responded with a short temper and a condescending tone that is unacceptable for any business owner. While my kids were able to play on the few functioning games, it is clear the establishment is being run down. You have to invest in your equipment; there is no point in staying open if you aren't honest about the fact that a majority of your games are out of order. As someone who runs a corporate firm, I know that respect and transparency are the foundations of customer service. If Les dislikes his business or his guests this much, he should sell it to someone who will actually appreciate the establishment and its customers. It seems obvious that this place will continue to struggle if the owner doesn't start actually caring for his business.

My boyfriend, friends and I had a fun double date here as we were waiting to do trivia elsewhere…read moreand decided to check out all the cool nerdy spots in Olympia to kill some time. We stopped by here and saw the mixture of old and new arcade games from shooters, pinball, rhythm games, claw machines, and they even had a neat prize area which was super nostalgic. The staff here is friendly and attentive! They do have some booths and bar stools to sit at if you want to take a small break and properly to enjoy your food as I know they do server food and drinks here. However, I didn't notice that the kitchen was in a separate part of the arcade so we didn't get to check it out that but I saw they do have some creative menu item names. They also do trivia as well as a good happy hour! Definitely worth checking out and it is well priced for an arcade so great for date nights, family time, etc.

This place was such a cool find! We came here to celebrate one of my kid's friend's birthdays and…read morethey all had such a blast. Perfect for all ages really, but our crew of ages 5+ loved it and we could've stayed much longer than we did. When we parked we didn't expect this place to be so big but it's absolutely massive. They have a full bar, a restaurant space, the arcade area, axe throwing lanes, and even party rooms. It's huge! There's a tonnnn of games to choose from. Modern day ones, old arcade machines, claw machines, you name it! My son who is the gamer of the family was in heaven here. We ended up grabbing a couple drinks from the bar and it was so cool! They have fun themed cocktails plus a you-pour-it tap wall. And they have a ROBOT BARTENDER! I got a drink made by the robot and it was pretty good albeit very sweet. I got the Princess Peach one. My husband used the you-pour-it wall for cider and they had awesome local selections. We ended up eating at the restaurant too and their menu is pretty extensive! We got a couple different types of pizzas and for an arcade, it was pretty dang solid. We got a chicken pesto pizza as well as a cheese pizza. The kids loved their cheese pizza (hard to mess that up) and we scarfed down the chicken pesto! Also, did I mention your food is also delivered by robots?! Such a fun touch for the kids! They also have tables with game consoles and tvs on the wall which is a great way to keep hungry kiddos distracted. Definitely suggest checking this spot out, with or without the kids!

The bartender told us about all the events they host there and how it wasn't super busy that night ( there was maybe 5 other people there in total .) We played a couple rounds of pinball and their mini bowling machine, which was tons of fun!!! UNTIL... Since we had such a great time, the first time we went, we decided to go randomly one night, not thinking about which event night it was.( completely our fault for not checking.) It turned out to be a karaoke night. The bar was WAY less diverse than it was the first time we went. The mic was extremely loud for how small the building is, which could be fun if you pregame or get your drinks down fast lol. A different bartender served us this time. I couldn't tell if she was intoxicated or just super all over the place. We ordered the same drinks we got last time, but they were made completely different and did not taste good. Overall, probably won't try this place again at least for a while. But I would recommend trying it at least once if you're pretty local & like Barcades. Drinks are decently priced. Did not try food. Pinball machines were about 25¢ each (amazing)

The play area side is perfect for little ones and toddlers. They have games that are fun & easy enough for a 3 year old too. They don't allow outside food or drinks, and their selection of food/drinks isn't the best in my opinion. No French fries, which is my toddlers main source of nutrition these days lol. But we're not going here for the food. All in all this place gets 5 stars from me!

This is a great option in the long dark, rainy winter here in the PNW. Parking is never an issue…read moreand you just walk in and pay for the play area (they provide a bin for shoes and coats). Kids 1+ love it (depending on how much they like climbing) - with an area for "4 and under" and some ball play areas and a mini slide for littles. Odyssey 1 is kept cleaner than most places so that's a bonus and if you pay attention you can figure out where your child is. Occasionally you might have to crawl in for a lost toddler and the structures are sturdy (try not to climb in because it's not adult sized!). It can still be a little dirty but again, better than some places. Older kids might tire of the play area and go on over to the arcade side or do laser tag. Food includes pizza and drinks, and loads of people do birthday parties. I've seen adults sit and work along the side or in the seating area with tables. It's not very expensive and if your little one is under a certain height they are free with another paid entry. Adults are free.

I love mini golf and have previously been to a Monster mini in another location. When my friends…read moresuggested we get together to run the course I was all in. Located inside Factoria Mall, the venue is large, with an arcade and prize game area in front of the mini golf course. My friends eagerly played some games to win novelty toys and tried the cotton candy maker. I played some pinball so if any of this sounds fun in addition to golfing, they have it here. The course as expected has about 16 holes, all with varying lengths, obstacles and angles. It's a lot of fun lining up different putts. The decor has a sort of comedic-horror art with a Washington theme and other mechanical props to add to the fun and ambience. The snag? The same issue I have at most mini golf places, people start to get bunched up behind you because their playing too fast/making their own rules or whatever. Were we playing too slow? Maybe. There were four of us and we played as quickly as we could but alas... Even the staff girl told us we're capped at 5 swings a piece at one point before we need to move on. Needless to say, by the end we had several impatient people waiting behind us. I know this isn't Monsters fault per se, but I repeatedly saw kids just putting the ball near the hole for easy shots to go faster or smaller children crying and jumping random holes out of order. Would love to do it again but perhaps on a weekday or a morning when there is less crowds.

There was a slight line for mini golfing. But it's so fun here. They have bowling too, but we…read moredidn't do that when we arrived. Very spooky themed and it was a blast to play. To mini golf you need to go in threes so that's something to keep in mind if you have large groups.

I hadn't been to GameWorks for a couple of decades when I went last week for a relative's birthday…read more He is really into video games and enjoyed Dance Dance Revolution (DDR) along with the driving games where you can race against your friends/family members. So, I am glad he had a good time. But I don't think I will go back to GameWorks in the future, even for special events. First, the loud noise and flashing lights made me feel like I was in a casino for kids. Something creepy about the vibe there. Second, there was no real air conditioning on a hot summer day, just these mobile a/c fans that blew cold air and were quite loud, adding to an already noisy place. Third, the games were very expensive. You have to buy a card for game credits and swipe that card whenever you play a game. We calculated later that it was cost us $1.60-2.30 PER GAME. That is including vintage games like Frogger and Ms. Pacman and other games like Operation, Skeeball, and driving games that only give you one life. Growing up in the 70s and 80s, I went to A LOT of arcades as a kid and teen. I don't expect places to be like the arcades I went to back then, but I do expect a fair and decent exchange for my money for the experience of playing a video game. Three lives/tries per fee is a fair exchange. GameWorks is nothing like that, and for that reason, along with others I've given here, I won't be back.

We came here for a family members birthday. They really like Dance Dance Revolution (DDR). DDR was…read moreone of the few games where for one swipe of your card you actually get more than one life on the game. It's been years since we've been to Gameworks so we decided to buy the lowest level of credits $25 for 140 credits which you get on a card that you swipe at each machine. The majority of games we played ranged from 9 to 13 credits and most of those games only give you one life. That's like $1.60-$2.30 for 1 play. It felt like such a rip off. Plus all of us have played video games over decades and the normal way you expect games to work is you get 3 lives per play. It just seems wrong to pay over $2 for one life of the new Space Invaders no matter how fun it might be. If you're sensitive to sounds it is pretty loud in here. We didn't try any food or drinks.
