About Gold Mine Arcade
Gold Mine Arcade is a fun and family-friendly place with many games that kids enjoy. Visitors appreciate being able to see prizes earned from their points, which adds a personal touch compared to vending machines. The arcade features a variety of games, including both simple, kid-friendly machines and more advanced shooter and racing games for older players. Using a player’s card to earn tickets and prizes is convenient, though some find it sterile compared to traditional quarters. The technology and sound effects, especially in games like Halo, are impressive and enhance the gaming experience. The staff, particularly a friendly lady who is often present, is helpful and creates a welcoming atmosphere. The arcade offers good value, with a $40 card lasting around 45 minutes of play, although some games may not always be working. While the arcade has invested heavily in machines, some feel that more staff could improve the overall experience. The decor, however, is considered bland and lacking the nostalgic, lively vibe associated with the original Gold Mine arcade, which was known for its dark, seedy, and cool atmosphere during the 90s. Overall, Gold Mine Arcade is an enjoyable place for kids and families to relive some childhood memories, though some feel it could benefit from more personality and nostalgic elements to truly capture the spirit of classic arcades.

There are lots of games that children like here. What kids love is being able to see prizes earned from their points and not from a cold, impersonal vending machine where you can't choose colors or see the product.
There was a lot of money invested in the machines. Why not invest in actual humans to enhance the experience.

Lady is always there when we go she is very nice and helpful. Could use a little more time on the zombie game for the credits but overall it’s a good value. We got a $20 card that lasted for about 30 minutes play each time.
