    This is my second visit, and I'm still impressed! Especially considering everything's increasing in price, this place is a bargain. It's a fantastic spot for families, offering a wide range of great games. We specifically came for the basketball game, and it was a blast! While the prizes could be of better quality--they don't seem built to last long--you can't complain much when everything's so affordable. Overall, it's a lot cheaper than other arcades, and it's just a 9-minute drive away. Definitely worth a visit!

    Great place to take the kids. It's not crowded and my kiddo enjoyed it. I enjoyed it as well. The staff were super friendly too which is a plus.

    This place is amazing!! We go to Chuck E. Cheese but picked this place instead and so glad we did. The games are fun, they are so different than other places and have something for everyone. I can't wait to come back. Also the prizes are great. My kiddo loved everything they had and wanted to work hard to get the prizes. We've been here a handful of times and have a great time every time.

    Who says 50 isn't Fun!!!!

    Fun, but definitely "ticket/prize" driven. Lots of kids and adults. Super affordable clean fun.

    Classics AND new arcade games!

    I grew up coming to Nickelmania for field trips! I love that it's still here and in such excellent condition, that I'm able to share part of my childhood with my son. We love coming on weeknight evenings, because it's never busy and such a fun little mom/son date night. The staff are always so friendly and helpful. We love Nickelmania!

    This cost 150000

    Worst arcade I have ever went to and I have went to over my 5 arcade, there most expensive prize is 5$for 50,000,000 even though the nickels are cheap,so are the prize, and they can't give you 1 extra ticket if you don't have enough tickets

    No signs of wet floor or caution and they had just mopped.

    Can you host a bday party there? Or are there tables and chairs that you can sit at and bring your own food?

    Yes, you can have a birthday party there. My son has been to a few. They have party packages where you can rent a table and bring your own food to celebrate. It's a lot of fun.

    This was one of the most disappointing customer experiences we've had, not because of a rule--but…read morebecause of how it was handled. Our six-year-old son loves racing. He's been racing regularly since early November at another Andretti location and has already been officially verified as meeting the height requirement for the junior track. We came to this location excited, with family in town, expecting the same consistency. Instead, he was denied access based on a manager's visual guess from behind the counter. No one measured him. No policy was clearly explained. No customer records were checked. And the manager refused to even come out to engage directly. If height requirements are about safety (which we fully respect), then they should be enforced objectively and consistently. Guessing from a distance is not safety--it's laziness and poor leadership. What made this worse was the complete lack of empathy. Watching a child who loves racing go from excited to confused and disappointed--without explanation or care--was heartbreaking and entirely avoidable. The Andretti name stands for precision and professionalism. What we experienced here was the opposite: disengaged management, inconsistent policy enforcement, and a total breakdown in customer experience. We didn't ask for special treatment. We expected competence, consistency, and basic respect--especially when dealing with kids. This experience ruined our visit and seriously damaged our trust in this location. Until Andretti addresses these leadership and operational issues, we won't be returning--and we'll think twice before recommending it to other families.

    From the adult perspective - the customer service is lacking, the prices are steep and the main…read moreattraction - the race cars, are slow and expensive. The race cars are really the main attraction here and the entire place revolves around the racing. You cannot make a reservation. It's a first come, first serve situation. There are four racing categories (see below), so if you come with a group of mixed ages or heights you may not all be able to race together (I've witnessed this shock when birthday parties assume they can race together). The Intermediate and Junior Races are slower than you'd assume. I could jog faster, but the WORST part is the speed. They go so slow and are controlled so it's nearly impossible to pass another racer or actually RACE! The Mini Mario has some speed and speed is adjusted based on the general age of the racers in the heat. The cost is $29 down to $15, which doesn't sound horrible, but after waiting for a long time for your group to be called and then racing for 1min to 7 minutes, the cost is really high! High enough you're not likely to get in line and do it again. CUSTOMER SERVICE: Ugh. There are kiosks and a giant line with actual people at a counter. Don't be mistaken YOU MUST go to the kiosk FIRST and fill out waivers, although there are no signs anywhere telling you that. We've filled out waivers on line before arriving, only to find ourselves at the front of the line and told "we can't find it, now to to the kiosks and get back in line". It's awful. The employees don't seem to like their jobs, or likely are sick of people being upset at them for the HORRIBLE process management has set up. We've never been able to find someone on the floor to help us when a video game eats our money or doesn't work either. The guys in the race area are hit or miss. Sometimes they're patient and kind. Other times they mumble and seem pissed off to be there. GAMES: The video games are the same as other places around town, but after driving all the way out here, searching for parking and then racing for 5 minutes we've always felt like we need to play a few games to make the trip worth it. FOOD: We've never eaten here, but it's basic bar food (hamburger, hot dogs, nachos, etc) and the cost is high for such basic food. We'd rather pay the same amount for better food options in the area. All that to say, expect to spend $$$ to come race, eat and play at Andrettis. Make sure your group has checked the height & age requirements to make sure you can race together. And finally, come with a lot of patience. ----- Race Categories ----- ADULT RACE 7- Minute Heat. Adult Races are for drivers at least 54" Tall and either 18+ yrs old or 15+ yrs old with State Issued Driver's License or Permit. Max Weight: 300 lbs. INTERMEDIATE RACE: 7- Minute Heat. Intermediate Races are for drivers at least 54" tall. Recommended Minimum Age: 12 yrs old. Max Weight: 300 lbs JUNIOR RACE: 7- Minute Heat. Junior Races are for drivers at least 48" Tall. Recommended Minimum Age: 7 yrs old. MINI MARIO KART RACE: 5- Minute Heat. Minimum Height: 36″ Tall. Maximum Weight: 90lbs. Recommended Ages: 4-6 yrs old.
