About 50% newer type "redemption" games and claw machines, and 50% good old-school stuff. It's small, but EVERYTHING worked, and was superbly maintained. We were greeted when we entered by a very friendly guy behind the desk, who was helpful and seemed to actually WANT to be there - which was a very good sign. Went because I heard there were some pinball machines there, which is a big draw. Those machines were in PERFECT shape, and played GREAT. We were also pleasantly surprised to find out that Fridays, the pinball machines are 1/2 price! Will DEFINITELY return on our next visit to OC - this little corner arcade is a hidden gem! read more

Great little arcade that is not on the boardwalk. It was quiet and uncrowded, giving the kids plenty of space to play without the usual noise and chaos. The prize selection was surprisingly decent, my son picked out a pack of sports cards and my daughter scored a large inflatable bouncy ball. Highly recommend if you're looking for a low-key, kid-friendly spot away from the bustle. read more

A very modern and updated arcade tucked away! Very clean, great customer service, and they have ice cream! 10/10 will be coming back.

Love this arcade. Clean, good prizes and not too loud. They even have an old school ms pac man! Would definitely recommend.

We discovered this arcade while playing mini golf next door. It's a very small arcade compared to those on the boardwalk, but the inside was clean and all machines were in operating. They have all the classic games like Ms. PAC-MAN, Tekken, Mortal Kombat which I was excited to see. They also have a few claw machines but the prizes were a bit outdated. The gentleman running the arcade was friendly and welcoming. I wish there was more to do and play, but overall wasn't a bad experience. Tip: The signage just says "ARCADE" rather than Electric Quarter as listed on Yelp! read more

We LOVE this arcade. It's is very clean, the machines are new and in working condition. They also seem to have new games each year, rotating some of them out. They have a great bonus program when you spend $20. The prizes are awesome. My kids always have prizes to choose from, including Pokémon cards. We have tried other arcades in the area, including others that the boardwalk are bigger, but they are never as fun. The employees are also very nice and will generally increase the number of tickets by a couple if that's what is needed for certain prizes. read more

Love this arcade! We have been coming here since 20 or 21, when we wanted to avoid the crowds of the Downtown arcades. Fun games and prizes and they have local ice cream. Plenty of games to choose from and never too crowded. read more

This arcade is so much nicer than any other in OC. The staff is great! The ice cream is also amazing.

Great arcade. Good variety of games. Good prizes. Modern. Clean. We will be back next year. Way better than the boardwalk option. read more

Cool little arcade with fun games and a great staff! Very clean and well kept, we'll definitely be coming back.

I don't typically write reviews but I just wanted to say that this place is awesome! I have taken my son here a couple times now and we both love it. The staff is super friendly, the place is clean and all the games are always working. The prizes are reasonably "priced" as well. Definitely worth checking out, especially on a rainy day. read more

Love this place. Been coming here since 1988. Newer owners and upgrades. Arcades are a dying breed. Please visit one today

The staff here provided great customer service. My sons took a while picking prizes with their tickets that they won and the lady helping them was very patient and nice. The guy working asked what games they liked best. They were all very polite and provided great customer service. We liked the old fashioned Pacman that can be played by two people. read more

Stop by the Electric Quarter if are looking for a family friendly arcade. It is a clean, bright, happy place -- definitely a welcome change to the typically dingy OC arcades. And they have the BEST customer service and the BEST ice cream in OC! Some reviewers said it is a bit small, though we found it to be the perfect size for our kids (ages 6 & 9). Also, the electronic tokens and points cards were easy to use, and the staff were generous with the "prizes". We have added the arcade to our list of must-do places to visit in OC!! read more

My kids and I stumbled into this Arcade after having dinner in this shopping plaza. A great family friendly arcade (a lot of old games fr the 80s/90s). Kids had a great time and we will be back again! read more

We had gone mini golfing across the street....when we came out, it looked fun so we went in to see what it was like. It is small, but was so much fun!! The staff was super friendly!! My daughter had gotten her play card stuck behind a panel of one of the games, and they came to fix it with smiles on their face and were so very kind to her and to us! All of the games were fun and had attainable tickets, not like some that you have to play for hours to get rewards. In these scary days of COVID they had multiple hand sanitizing stations and stickers on every machine stating that they were specially sanitized regularly. Then, as we were leaving my daughter was throwing something away, and dropped one of her rewards in the trash can. The girl noticed this, and brought her a replacement. I wish ALL arcades were run this way. The next time we are back to Ocean City, we will stop by again! read more

We have been coming here for almost 10 years and love it! Our favorite spot to bring our kids. They rotate machines every few years so we always see something new and fun to play. Generous ticket payouts allow for the kids to pick cool prizes before leaving. My boys absolutely love it! read more

Electric Quarter - Another fun time! - Arcades Near Me - Ocean City, Maryland

Good: few cool pinball machines. A unique gameplay for Ms. Pac Man that I've never seen before. An ancient game by the front desk in which you drop an arm down to win a prize. It was a cool old, original machine. Bad: typical money grab with stupid games and prizes that are outrageously pricey (for tickets). A real arcade should have a wall of genuine arcade games. Older arcade games cost .50 instead of a quarter, which I think is absurd. Finally, the guy working there was completely miserable and a total turn-off for my ever returning with my kids. read more

This place rocks. Been coming here since 1990. It smells awesome in here, like a retro 80s arcade.

Used to go to this arcade when I was a kid. Still has that same vibe, and some of the old machines are still there. It's the typical get tickets redeem prize oriented place. Most games are 50 cents to a dollar, still a few play until you win which is always nice to see. Fun place, some machines in disrepair, and that classic musty woody smell. Decent, not sure how many hours one could spend there anymore, but definitely worth checking out. The rest of the plaza is a disaster however. read more

This place is perfect for kids and adults. So many games and chances to win tickets, and it's not overwhelming with noise like Dave & Busters. Highly recommend this place!! read more
