I don't recommend this place simply because it didn't feel as inviting and welcoming as any other place in America. It's not open to the public (as in you are not allowed to go in unless you pay). The owners guard the entrance/near the front door inside and you can't really walk in and go around to check out the games first unless you pay. It was just about a few feet is what we were able to look at inside and only up to the parking lot is all we were able to see. As you walk in, you'll be standing at the front while they stare at you. The owner just stared and made a comment "It looks like you've never been here" No S lady. It was our first time, recommended by the McDonald's Museum across the street. She stated what their rates were. The owner did offer to have her husband escort us to walk around if we wanted to look at the place. Although we may have looked young, we're not little kids. We didn't feel like being chaperoned by an adult. We're 4 decades old. If the whole place runs by itself without the need of physical money, how would they even know who's playing the 30min package or the 1hr? If they use a prepaid players digital card, then a chaperone wouldn't be needed if we can't play the games anyway. We don't know anyone there or wouldn't need to cheat to play for free from others. Needless to say, we didn't see much. Just up to the door while they guarded it. Too bad, we would've enjoyed the place, but instead we were greeted with a cold welcome. Judging by this place, I see the owners like to respond to every comment/review. To the owner, if you're reading this, please don't bother replying. We won't be reading it. We already got the point. To those reading this in response to the owner, please believe me when I say this is an honest review, and real customer service experience. I'm a minority in this area AND NEW so, maybe they judge differently. Edit: lol the owner STILL replied although we already mentioned their comment was not needed. Hard-headed much..? read more

I love this place! My partner and I have been going for a while for our date nights but I finally thought to leave a review listing all the reasons why I love it here. -There is a large variety of games both old and new such as classic arcade games like street fighter and newer consoles like xbox/switch games. My personal favorite is the Dance Dance Revolution game but there are so many to pick from including a room where you can play board games! -It is very affordable and basically perfect for a date night or night out with friends. You really lose track of time while playing all the games. It is ten dollars for an hour and 20 dollars for an all day pass. There are also snacks and drinks in a vending machine which are also pretty cheap 1-1.50 dollars! -The owners are very sweet and recognized us even after we had only gone a few times. -It is super clean and nicely decorated! It definitely reminds me of my own childhood arcades. The bathroom is also always very clean which is a major plus for me. Overall, it is a great place to go to with friends or with your partner! I 100% recommend it for everyone old and young! (I always forget to take pictures but next time I go I will be sure to take some and add them to this post) read more

Revival Arcade in San Bernardino was an absolute blast and way more fun than I expected. Everyone there was incredibly friendly, which immediately made the place feel welcoming instead of intimidating. There were dozens of arcade games set to free play, plus old consoles like the N64 that I had not touched in years. The space was lively and energetic, and the hour I spent there somehow flew by in what felt like minutes. Playing those games instantly took me back to childhood pizza place days, and I left smiling and already wanting to come back. read more

Revival Arcade - Arcades Near Me - San Bernardino, California

We had the best time when we came here an hour of entertainment and it was such a great price. Loved it here and we will be back for sure.

Revival Arcade is a awesome little gem in San Bernardino. The owners/employees are super welcoming and so friendly. There is literally a game for everyone here. From old school pinball machines to new consoles games. Prices are very reasonable. 10 bucks for an hour and 20 for the day. You can't beat that! Most of the games worked a few didn't but no big deal because you don't use cards or coins. All games are free play once you pay your entrance fee. My kids just wished they had some claw games to win stuff but other than that it's awesome! Super fun for the whole fam. My family and I loved it. We will definitely come back again for sure! read more

Revival is just as awesome now as it was a few years ago. Their consistency is unmatched. My son and I love coming here. He celebrated his 6th and 8th birthday here. The upgrades are wonderful, having a party room was a welcomed surprise on his 8th bday. The owners are lovely people and they always treat us well. We will continue support them and what they do for our community read more

I had an amazing time. I was recommended this location by my family and I just never had the chance to go since they aren't open all week! I really think it's such gem and hopefully whoever reads this supports this location so the owners can make this their fulltime job. The game selections were great. I had so much fun with my boyfriend and we were used to going to round one where it's literally worth nothing compared to this place. This will definitely be my go to arcade now. :)) ! It was 10 per hour which was more than enough time and 20 unlimited which is a great option for my siblings who love being here! Owners were sooo kind read more

This place has no respect for privacy, opens the door of a public bathroom on customers, makes false accusations and assumptions without proof and escorts you out like a criminal based on appearance!!! I do not recommend this place, it is also a very sketchy location. A lot of homeless, very dim light and staff were extremely rude! The employee Tracy was yelling at the customers, while the owner Shawn was degrading them! Would not recommend! Not a safe environment nor a welcoming one either! read more

we are SO happy we held our son's 10th birthday here. Shawn & Tracey are AMAZING & made having his celebration a piece of cake. we will definitely be coming back :) amazing customer service! thank you guys!!!!!!! read more

I got kicked out of a place today in a way that honestly felt pretty invasive. I went to use the restroom, and not even 2 minutes after I went in, staff unlocked and opened the restroom door while I was still inside. No warning, no knock, nothing. Right after that, they told me I had to leave. I wasn't causing a problem, I wasn't in there long, and there was zero reason to barge in like that. DO NOT GO HERE! read more

What a throwback to the 80's! Man does an hour fly by here! $10 per hour goes by fast. Might as well get the all day pass for $20. About 50 games to choose from and most of the classics are here. Dozen or so Pinball games. Air hockey, basketball, and ski ball too. The place was clean and well organized. My young kids appreciated the old school games and the challenge of the timeless classics. Cool and friendly staff greets you at the door. Will return again many times. read more

For $10/hour of unlimited play AND the nostalgia, you can't beat it! All the games work and the owners are extremely friendly. If arcade games aren't your kids thing, they have all game consoles ready to play some of the more modern games like Fortnight. Prices of toys and little souvenirs are super reasonable too! It's across the street from the McDonald's museum so make it a little adventure. The whole fam had an amazing time! read more

my son had his 9th birthday here. it was such an incredible experience! none of the games require coins and you get unlimited play. the pricing is amazing. a wonderful place to go for any video game lovers. 10/10 recommend. all his friends already want to go back! read more

I've gone multiple times for date nights or to hang out with friends, it's the perfect place to go if you wanna play some really thrilling games! I personally just won against my wife twice in dance dance revolution! Feeling real proud! The bathrooms are clean, an area for board games, vending machine is very reasonably priced too! 10$ for an hour, 20$ for a day pass?! It can't get much better; and the owners are complete sweethearts! There's even a Photo Booth to immortalize the memories for a century, but I'll definitely never forget this wonderful place. I love you guys! -Akira read more

Most amazing place I have ever been in US. Cannot believe it real exists! I can feel the pure love of arcade game from the owner! Really hardcore! read more

My favorite things: 1. The owners - nice, gracious, thoughtful, & responsive 2. Affordable- flat rate play makes it my go-to family outing 3. Games - there's something for everyone and everything actually works! 4. Party room - easy and affordable place for a party, bring your own food and drinks and let the kids (and adults) tire themselves out 5. Decor - it's just a fun atmosphere that feels thoughtfully decorated read more

Great prices, clean, and a large selection of games with a lot of different consoles. Great vibe/aesthetics as well. The owners are very nice and helpful. Bathroom was immaculately clean and smelled nice when I visited. You can also play songs on the digital jukebox while you're there, which is fun. (Drowns out the DDR song if you happen to be playing, but it's a small trade off for the great arcade here.) read more

OK will be coming here since the first open. I really recommend you guys check them out. Bring the family bring all the kids cause you're gonna have a good time here. Great customer service good atmosphere if you want your kids to get off electronics really to a old school arcade. read more

Revival Arcade is a hidden treasure that I nearly missed. I happened to be across the street visiting the original McDonald's museum when I saw their sign. So glad I decided to check it out! This is a very well-maintained arcade to suit every retro and modern arcade lover's soul. There's a nice variety of vintage and newer arcade games from pinball, air hockey, skee ball (my fave!), Donkey Kong, Time Crisis 4, Mortal Kombat, Marvel vs Capcom, Metal Slug, Dance Dance Revolution, Guitar Hero, etc. They also have over 3000 console games on NES, SNES, N64, Sega Genesis, Atari, Nintendo Switch, XBox, and PS1-PS5. Revival Arcade has a novel payment system. Guests pay by the hour and all games are set up as "free play" mode, so if you're a derp like me who loves games but stinks at them and dies a lot, you can keep playing without added expense. As of January 2024, the rate is $10/hour or $20 for the full day. The arcade is very family friendly. I saw lots of happy kids with their parents and cute couples on dates. They blast awesome music, which might be a bit loud for some folks. My husband and I visited the arcade during a warm Sunday afternoon in January and found it refreshingly cool inside. I wish I had photos to add, but we were too busy having fun with old familiar favorites and discovering "new" games (like VR Vortek and we got surprisingly competitive over Trophy Hunting Bear & Moose). I highly recommend this arcade if you're in the area or visiting LA! read more

So much fun, really cool decorations... excellent customer service. I will come back.

It was so fun! Brings back memories when I was a kid! I loved spending time with my kids especially the driving games! The workers are so nice! Thank you! read more

We held a party at the Revival Arcade for the launch party for our game and it was a great experience! We were given ample time to set up and tear down, and were even given a fridge to store the cake for the party! Our team really enjoyed playing through the Arcade, with one of our team members saying it was one of the last real arcades out there, another one overjoyed that he saw a game he hadn't played in over 20 years. We'll absolutely come back for another party at the launch of our next game! read more

So many vintage arcade booths and games here! Great way to spend an afternoon or evening with your family, friends, or your gamer SO. Before you enter, you pay for the time that you will be staying and afterwards, all the games are free play! It's $10/hour. Definitely be mindful of others waiting in line to play the same games, but when we went on a Saturday evening (before dinner), there wasn't many people there and the lady working the counter was super friendly and allowed us to look around to see what was available (please do not just walk in and look!). They have racing games, fighting games, shooter games, pinball machines, Air Hockey, and classics such as pong, Donkey Kong, Pac-Man, Space Invaders, Asteroids, and much, much more, really living up to the whole Revival Arcade moniker. I believe that there's also skee ball and some basketball shooting hoops games, but unsure if they give out tickets or not. I know that the front counter has candies, little toy trinkets, and other neat knick knacks and other video game merch, but I don't know if they're exchangeable or if they're for purchase (or both!). There are vending machines with sodas, chips, and snacks and your entry also includes access to their music jukebox as well. Just know that it DOES get pretty hot in here. When we went it was a scorcher and there were a couple fans on inside, but we were still sweating it out. Fun place to spend some time gaming regardless! read more

Came in on a date and the staff was super welcoming and very quick to help and explain everything. There is a gamer for literally everyone! Classic arcade cabinets? Pinball?

10/1000 My little brother and I were in the area for an appointment and needed to kill time and google brought us here. $10 an hour per person is great! I wasn't planning on playing so I asked if I also needed to pay, since I was going in with him I did have to but no problem at all the price is great and he had way more fun with me joining in on the games. The hour flew by! We had lots of fun! Before leaving staff even offered us candy. Super nice people! Now it's after the appointment and he's begging to go back already! read more

My daughter had her 15th birthday party here on 1/25/25. First we visited the McDonalds Museum across the street and ended her celebration here. The Museum highly recommended this arcade. This place is sooo much fun! Their prices are so affordable, a weekend party for 15 admissions for 2 hours unlimited play and a party room for only $250! You can also bring your own food. They just built the party room which is beautiful and has a window where parents or those who aren't playing games can watch their kids and friends. They also have a television for everyone to watch who is waiting in the party room. The owners were beyond nice and made sure the party went smoothly. They were very accommodating and helpful. They even gave my daughter a card and a gift for when we come back. So sweet! All the party goers loved it and had fun too! The games range from old school to even virtual games. They have something for everyone! They do have vending machines with water and snacks too. A great hidden gem! I'm so glad we were able to spend my daughters special day here! Thank you! read more
