My daughter has a great time here. It’s not too big, but just right for a couple hours of fun. Restaurants nearby are convenient. Parking is also not bad.

Despite parking isnt easy to find, I think this place is great! Theres are quite a few games to play even though the place is small. But hey that doesnt matter right? Youll have tons of fun! I know this is my first time coming but it surely wont be my last.

Had a great time here with the family. Since our last visit here, they changed to a card system which means no more fumbling with coins, a big plus in my book.Kids liked the race car games, I liked the pinball selection.

The University Family Fun Center is a blast! I learned that it is the last arcade in the city, and its been operating since 1977. Anyone can see how its lasted this long! There are plenty of classic games you can play, but there are a ton new/updated machines, too, that are super cool and unique! The facility is also clean and well-maintained. The staff there is very nice and helpful (huge shout out to Sam whos a gem!). Ill definitely be returning - theres something there for everyone!

Had a good time with my little one and games were in working order. Have to state that the staff were not wearing masks and were moving about in the arcade. I was not comfortable with that at all especially when it comes to children

Small arcade in the heart of University City, this has been a favorite of myself and my children for years now. Many favorites, like pinball, air hockey, basketball, skeeball, and a jukebox. Old school games like Tekken and soul Calibur, as well as driving games. Great place on a warm summer night to hang out with a great pizza place across the street.

Ok for kids and the neighborhood in general.. not much of a variety though.

I enjoy taking my sons here but the only thinking that I didnt like tonight was that the owner shut everything down at 7:40 when they clearly close at 8!

Jo
Review №29

Pretty hip and a rather good place to kill some time, but space in there can feel squeezed (same for that one-person restroom and for events such as birthday parties)

This may be one of the oldest still around. I remember when my kids were young they would come here. Now my grandson comes here. It is always clean and well organized. It opens early is another plus for an old girl like me. Whenever I am in the University City area I make it a point to come and yes this old girl likes to play the game machines too!!!

This is a great local Fun Center. The staff was very friendly and helpful. My child enjoyed all the games and had a blast. Its easily accessible via public transportation and within walking distance of restaurants and the movie theater in the area.

Always a great place to take anyone at any age. Its in an awesome location. Public transportation is close which makes it better to get there if you dont drive. The staff is friendly. The machines are up to date. The price is coins are reasonable.

Great games and some of the most affordable token prices Ive ever seen! Great for families and great for pinball lovers to drop in for a bit and play!

Review №39

My God children enjoyed themselves. Only thing that needs work is the staffs taking too many smoke breaks. You have to wait for them to finish smoking a cigarette so you can redeem your ticket receipt.

This place use to be amazing. Unfortunately, they got rid of their major fighting games. The ones that actually brought in older visitors. They no longer have Street Fighter, Tekken, Mortal Kombat, House of the dead, and Guitar Hero 😢😢😢

Review №43

A place I’d definitely take the kiddos, but a chill place to hang out as a 20 something as well. Plenty of old school arcade games but a lot of other upgrades. No frills or thrills, just good fun to be had. Prizes include small stuffed animals and candy. Spend $10-20 and let nostalgia take you away.

Review №44

My children younger children (9 & 11) had a really good time. My teenage (15) could have passed on the outing. I found the games to be a bit expensive and there is no where to sit down. This place will do in a pinch.

Review №46

Have been going to this place for decades. I was a kid going here. Now my kids gets excited the minute I mention it.This place is the true definition of an arcade. Staff are and HAVE ALWAYS been ideal for an arcade. The icing on the cake is that its very pocket friendly.

Review №47

Younger crowd, a bit noisy and not too big but it served me well on a family night with the kids. I didnt see any food or drinks except for a vending machine. The games use tokens so be economical and buy the larger package then walk outside and get a burger or some pizza across the street.

Da
Review №48

At least once a month, I enjoy coming here. The games are always fun to play. I usually play with $10, but they let you play with any amount up to $100. Its always a blast, especially winning top prizes if youre lucky enough.

Review №49

This is a fun cheap place to kill some time. Great service too, SkiBall ate one of my tokens and they gave me 4 in return. There is also plenty of variety in what you can play from kiddie & carnival games to racing & pinball. I plan on going back whenever I have some time to kill and a few spare dollars.

Havent been here in years... But probably the best arcade in the city. Im 37 and used to live in this place as a kid. Has stood the test of time. Just wish I could visit this place more often

Fun place to take a kid. Not far in travel and not much money to spend. Theres no food but theres many food places around. My son has so much fun.

Review №52

This is a great place to spend some time. I often take my young son there early in the morning, especially in the winter months. In the mornings, its not crowded, and its a great way to spend some of those winter months when you feel trapped inside.

THAT WAS GREAT. MY GRANDAUGHTER AND I WERE THERE ALONE FOR AN HOUR. THE ATTENDANT WAS NICE AND FRIENDLY. THE PLACE WAS CLEAN AND THE ATTENDANT WAS FRIENDLY. HE TAUGHT US HOW TO PLAY AND WIN A NEW GAME.

Review №54

I absolutely love this arcade. I have been going there since I was a child, now I take my children. I wish they would have expanded by now and add a coat room. It is like a mini Dave and Buster. You win tickets for a majority of games you play, that you can redeem for prizes. Great place for family entertainment.

Review №58

Smaller than Dave and Busters, but big enough for plenty of fun. My daughter had a blast. There are a lot of games, and things to do. The only thing she hated was leaving.

Review №59

If youre looking for general arcade fun, this place is great. Its a little lacking in skill games, though, unless you like fighters (they have a few). Also, for a place with Pinball in the name, the pickings are quite slim.

Ch
Review №60

The items are buyable with the amount of tickets you get in the games. Some games stole tokens and act like it didnt get 6 tokens and only needed 4 to start. All and all my kids had a fun time and would come back for sure.

Review №75

There are a good variety of games, but there are more games where you win tickets to get prizes than actual video games. They also have a few pinball machines. Overall its a pretty good place to waste some time and money if youre into arcades.

Review №76

Ill admit it, Im an arcade geek, and theres nothing better than an old school arcade, especially with all the classic games. Passed by this place so many times and had been so eager to check it out, so last week I had the chance to. I had a few spare bucks so I got myself $3 worth of tokens, played a couple games of Skeeball, and a few other games nearby. They have everything from old school Pacman to Whack-A-Mole (or something similar) to Guitar Hero to machines where you aim to win as many tickets as humanly possible. For what its worth, its fun either by yourself and possibly even more fun if you come with friends.

Something for everyone. Arcade racers, fighting games, games of luck, air hockey, skee ball, basketball, kid sized games - and its in a vibrant neighborhood. Definitely an authentic arcade experience.

Was there a couple of weeks ago. Had fun with my daughter until it was time to redeem our tickets and leave... The prize redemption area was closed. Very rare for a weekend and both my 7 yr old & myself were very disappointed that we couldnt cash them in.

Review №82

This is a great place to go to, last year, my friends and I went to this place after we messed around at the 40th street fresh grocery roof, it was cool and most of the games there actually work, which is a huge bonus. This is a great place to just chill and hangout, and right next to it is my favorite bar.

Hadnt been in a loooooooong while. Use couns now so have a twenty dollar bill ready. The Clown game is addictive. Great family fun. Staff is helpful and respectful. Make sure to watch your tickets the unsupervised kids will try to get you. Lol.
