Great for adults and kiddos! Amazing pricing for a bday party and open late enough that adults can go and enjoy on a weekend too. We love early Sundays with the kids because it's dead! School field trips also get a great deal, so email them about planning one. This is my go to for large events because it's a ton of fun and cost effective. Only one entrance so you don't have to worry about kiddos running out or losing track of them. Tons of vintage games, and new ones. Love the pinball area. Pizza is good, and they have popcorn and other snacks as well. We always end up doing the claw machines or grabbing Pokemon cards too lol. They host events year round, from Mother's Day or valentines to Halloween. We've done various Pokemon trading days too! Always a great time. read more

Wow! What a fun place! We decided to celebrate our little guys BD at this place. Reserved a party pack a few days before and when we arrived the staff was just awesome. It was midweek and not super busy! So many arcade options for all ages, plus air hockey and skee ball. It was unlimited play for like $12 a person! The claw machines are a separate charge but worth it - lots to choose from! Decor inside is so much fun, lots of great movie props! Plus it's clean! Our group ordered pizzas which were good and typically pub pizzas. The also had beer and wine beverages and a large selection than we anticipated. Nachos and popcorn were good and throwback to fair food! Everything was well priced and such a fun time. 5 stars for the staff who were so nice and customer focused! read more

Such a fun find! We randomly ran into this place while in the area and decided to see what is was all about. My daughter (6) was super excited to see the claw machines and all the games. I was super excited to see that it was $10.99 for all day play! Claw machines are not included in the price but it's $1 per token so that's still a good deal. There are so many games to choose from. Since we got there around noon, it wasn't crowded yet, which made it even more enjoyable. The space was clean and the AC felt great, such a good break from the summer heat. The popcorn smelled really good and I saw they have buckets of it you can buy as well as drinks and snacks. We ended up staying for about two hours and probably could've stayed longer. You are given a wrist band and can come and go as needed. We'll definitely be back! Great spot for an affordable and fun outing. read more

I absolutely love this place! I have been here a few times and every time I go I have a great time! I bring my two sons with me here and we always stay for hours! They have food, beverages, beer, and a ton of old school arcades along with modern games, pinball, air hockey and a ton more. They are priced very well! This is my go to spot! James is the young man who helped us when we were ordering food. He is a very nice guy and extremely personable with guests. My kids were trying to find me and he walked with them till I was located. Another example of the exemplary service at this establishment I highly recommend this location! Service: A+ Entertainment: A+ Ambiance: A+ read more

This place is amazingly fun!!! I had the best time, drink varieties are there and popcorn was yummy. For a pretty small place the game selections were great and most were functional. Will definitely go back. read more

Side Quest Arcade - Front side - Arcades Near Me - Garland, Texas

Mid Spring Break activity in North Texas going retro and back to #GENX times. Side Quest is located inside of a mall area, making parking a challenge. When you enter, you do a one price pay for all video games. You have a long list of pinball machines, traditional games like Galaga, Burger Time, big screen pac man, etc. The bathrooms are located at the end of the room, and they are clean and well maintained. At the entrance, you have claw machines you have to pay for to get the items. You can eat and get an adult beverage while you destroy ALIENS. Now, be aware that if you get food there, it is what it is dont expect 5 star pizza. It is a well-kept game room, and for our family, it was a plus during Spring Break. read more

My experience with a side quest arcade was pretty solid overall. It's ALL YOU Can PLAY games for about $10 before tax. They have a variety of machines ranging from retro, fighting, rhythm/music, and old fashion arcade games like skiball and air hockey. They have plenty of drink and food options too. Their drink selection is pretty solid. We got gin and juice and crown Royal in a can. I would say the only negatives I had was that there was absolutely no spots to put your drinks. I would hate for a drink to spill and it messing up a machine. The pinball area is super narrow. Some people were not considerate when we were trying to pass through, so I just ended up going another direction most of the time to avoid an accidental bump. Overall, it was pretty fun! Staff was super cool, so shout-out to them. read more

This place honestly has probably the best pinball collection in the Metroplex at the moment. I love coming here, but until they fix their A/C, the most I can give is 2 stars. They had swamp coolers going which worked fine until about an hour or two before closing... at which point it started to feel like a sauna. I had to leave it was so bad. The issue has been happening since at least early July. Genuinely hope it gets fixed soon as this place is amazing otherwise! I just can't give a good rating if i have to leave due to an issue like this. read more

Super cool place! I'm a big fan of unlimited-play arcades. The price for a day of fun is VERY reasonable. They have a great variety of machines, from first-person shooters to classic pinball games. Their drinks are quite reasonably priced too. The only thing not to like is a pretty high number of machines with some sort of problem, like a button that doesn't work right. I get that the machines are old and get used a lot, but I've been to similar arcades where problems were much more rare. Still, for the amount of fun we had, this place was an amazing value, and I hope to go back some time. read more

Side Quest Arcade - Fun for the Whole Fam! - Arcades Near Me - Garland, Texas

The unlimited play is more than worth the $12 fee/person. I let my kids played until they asked to go home. They had games for all ages. My 4yr enjoyed the "Hot Wheels" racing game because it was face pace, easy to control, and personalized your name and picture on the winning platform. They also had snack bar, tables at the front, cool Japanese vending machines, glass shelving for collector items to by purchased: Lounge Fly backpacks, mini figs, soo much more. You just have to go see for yourself. read more

Great place to play the old school arcade games as well as some newer stuff. Prices on food are a bit high though, but gaming is cheap.

Brand new video game arcade, with setup geared more to teens & preteens. All-Day wristband for $9.99 + tax with re-entry privilege. Popcorn, hotdogs, etc served by staff. Beer on tap, and in cans, for legal adults. Big facility, with nice big restrooms, and a section of tables for seating. Outdoor patio tables also. About 15 classic cabinet video games, a really big pinball alley, plenty of shooter games, and multi-player games. DDR Dance Dance Revolution! Plenty of racing and fighting games. Parking is limited in front. More parking in lot by Border Books. read more

Very interesting experience. Dirty, smelly, and wet spots on the floor. Also most of the games were in Korean, not english.

Amazing! Games are fun, food is decent and alcoholic drinks are cold and great! Highly recommend for birthday parties, or just for fun with the kids or your friends! read more

Awesome place for the kids for a great value . Was there for 3 hours and did not seem like it. Defiantly recommend

We had a Spirit night here, and not only is it super affordable but the staff (Ollie and Nathan) were so helpful and had the best customer service I have ever experienced. Definitely will go back! read more

I just went here yesterday to look around it was great. Being a huge Arcade Enthusiast!! I was impressed the People were kind and, fair. Clean environment. which is a plus for me I herd so much of this place in Fire Wheel!! I'll be coming back soon! read more

For the price, it's hard to complain. Even though the games are older, it's only $10 all day play. They do have a great adult drink selection though which was nice. They also have a neat variety of rare candies and things you can't find at a lot of places. We had a good time for about an hour or so with our 13 & 14 year old boys. It's not a place I want to go all the time, but it's good if you're looking for something different occasionally. read more

This is genuinely the best arcade I've ever been too. As soon as we walked in the doors we were greeted and helped by Amanda and got the rundown about everything because we have never been here. The pricing is insanely affordable for such a nice establishment!! We ordered food, wristbands and drinks and Ollie was so nice and helpful!! I don't live here anymore but we will definitely be visiting every time we come in!! read more

Side Quest Arcade - 10/10 recommend!!! - Arcades Near Me - Garland, Texas

I recently went to this location with an open mind, with high expectations. And those expectations were easily fulfilled. This arcade has a wide range of arcade games, ranging from the 1970's to now, including games from different countries. Majority of the games worked (except for the 'Alien' pinball machine), and they were in high quality too! They also have a wide range of food and drinks. I bought the day pass, which was definitely worth it, because I could play any game I wanted for the rest of the day (expect the claw machines). All in all, I definitely recommend this arcade (I will be coming back)! read more

I had so much fun today at Side Quest Arcade. First, they are reasonable priced for $10 for free play arcade. They have plenty of machines with wide variety rhythm games, shooters, fighting games, and traditional games like air hockey and Skee-Ball. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. For example, one of the claw machines was not taking our coins so the waitress replenished my coins for the claw machine. They have concession stand food available and drinks. I didn't try their food besides a chocolate bar so I can't rate their food. I will definitely be going back again! read more

It was awesome super fun and friendly environment and I had a blast. Cain and Julie were amazing and had great customer service

I had a blast coming here, I love the old school games. Also, shoutout to Evan for being so respectful. He was so polite and helpful.
