    The only reason I'm giving this place 3 stars is because my 6 year old and her friend absolutely loved it. Hubs and I didn't want to touch anything in there! So many of the games were not working and it isn't just a nickel for many of the games. Several of them require anywhere from 6 - 10 nickels. We went on a Saturday and it was absolutely mobbed with people. It was a rainy day so that may have contributed to the madness. Some of the games give tickets- which was a big deal to my little- so we played a few of those games. Though some ran out of tickets while you were playing and you just ended up wasting your nickels or waiting for a staff member to come fix it. The "prize" counter was equally mobbed. But somehow, we all survived- and like I said, my little loved it. So...maybe see if another parent will take your kid??

    Fun, nostalgic and affordable fun in Aurora. Venture to Aurora and enjoy a fun time at the arcade. We recently went for an affordable date night. On a Friday they had a special for $10 we played arcade games for about 2 hours. We had a blast! Also, many of the games are FREE with zero tokens required to play. Some of the free ones are House of Dead, old school racing games and the Simpsons. Some of my childhood favorites. We also played lots of SKEE BALL, Guitar Hero and table hockey! We laughed and laughed as we played. Highly recommend if you're into old school games and enjoy the nostalgic arcade games.

    Went out on a date here. I don't think this is a good date spot. This place is cheap but is better suited for kids. Place is a little old but clean. A lot of the machines works ok. I did enjoy myself there for the time being. You pay like ~$4/person and the majority of the games are free. Certain things you have to pay for like the table hockey. I wouldn't come back here again personally. This place is good for little kids if you're looking to go inexpensive as possible. Kids will have a blast here.

    Retro Games, all for free (only pay for the 1s w/tickets) $3.95 admission fee.

    Our first time and we will be back. Inexpensive fun and cool games (even Tetris!). Tajaneeke was wonderful as she was informative, friendly, helpful, kind and patient. Thank you for a wonderful experience.

    See all

    Decent place. More for kids. A lot of the two player games have broken controls but a great place to waste some time.

    If I were a kid that grew up in Aurora, best believe I would have begged my parents for my birthday party to be at Nickel-A-Play.

    I have come several times. Once, it was great. We had fun, we enjoyed our time. A little expensive…read morebut fine. Second time we came back it was closed. Third time we went was today. I came after I picked my son up from his after care program and there was no employee in sight for about 15 minutes. We ended up just grabbing clubs and doing putt putt. At the end there was a teenager who came out when we had gone through probably 8-9 holes and he said "Excuse me, who checked you out?" And I said "No one. No one was here and we weren't gonna wait all night." He was like "I am the manager on shift and that's not true." Clearly trying to not be in trouble. It was absolutely inappropriate the way he treated everyone in there. I don't know what they were doing that whole time but the lack of responsibility they took for not being present where they needed to be was ridiculous. I will call back later and speak to the general manager and pay for the round we did but in my opinion, the kid working should be fired. The cash register was left unmanned, plus all the merchandise, the main door open, the self service card reader wasn't working, there was zero attention to customers. I work with high school students and 98% of them would be more responsible than this. It was completely unprofessional!

    Dominic who was at the desk is fabulous ! This place is immaculate! The bathroom was spotless!…read moreAgain Dominic was the only employee here when we were there and was holding it down professionally Highly recommend

    My wife and I ended our Denver trip with some weekday mini golf. On a sweltering hot summer day in…read moreDenver, this was the perfect activity to have some fun and stay cool. Puttshack is a hip spot with a number of 9-hole mini golf courses inside. They have a full bar and serve food, but we just chose to play golf. The scoring is the coolest part here. The balls have chips in them, and the course knows where your ball is at all times. It scores the round for you, and each hole has additional challenges called "supertubes". Scoring is backwards from traditional golf, so you'll want as many points as you can to win. The pricing on weekdays is super reasonable here, and that's why we delayed our visit to our last day in Denver. The other days we were in town fell on a weekend, and the prices felt kind of outrageous for weekend golf. If you can, I would certainly stick to visiting Puttshack on the weekdays. It was also nearly empty during our visit, which made it much more enjoyable. I would return to a Puttshack for the fun gameplay and cool scoring mechanics. Just be sure to watch the pricing tiers based on the day of your visit!

    Very fun time! Love that they have some drink and food options that are a few steps above bar food…read more I haven't played putt putt in quite a while so it was very fun and new. It does get a tad crowded on busy nights and you feel rather rushed, butt hats to be expected. Lots of seating places and bar seats. The restrooms did through me off lol but it was a laugh. Overall 4/5 stars
