Nickel-A-Play is an affordable and fun arcade with something for everyone. It charges an admission fee of $3.95 per person. All games run on nickel value, with over 70 video games that are free to play, including driving, sports, and fighting games. Other games run on cards, like ticket, crane, and pinball machines, plus DDR, Guitar Hero, and a Photo Booth. Visitors consistently describe having a blast, calling it a frequent and inexpensive date night spot where they always walk out with souvenirs. Many note it is a favorite place to bring loved ones, offering great deals like Ticket Thursdays. The staff is repeatedly praised as incredibly friendly, helpful, understanding, and kind. Management is noted for being accommodating, often problem-solving reasonable solutions for customers. The arcade keeps costs low by not serving food, though it has snack vending machines, and by keeping renovations minimal. It uses plastic play cards to minimize machine maintenance. The front half has newer ticket and prize-winning games alongside classics. While some prize grabbers are tricky, the arcade offers easier alternatives. It is described as a cool, laid-back "hole-in-the-wall" with an excellent setup where people can play for hours and never want to leave.
Cheap little fun arcade. A couple machines with big prizes and tons of free machines. Also a few broken machines but the service is friendly.

Great place. Not the most modern facility, and I like it that way. The vintage game cabinets are what keep me coming back - I can play all the classics of my childhood. If that weren't enough, they have the (arguably) best version of DDR - UltraMix 3. Great place to spend an afternoon with the littles.

Had a Great time here. Lots of machines were broke down, but there was also a bday party...and the kids seemed VERY rambunctious. Wonder if they are the reason thing's were broken. I'll go back. Played on 20 bucks for awhile!
