Great time. Fun atmosphere. Had a great time showing my son the old school games

Great place to bring the kids. Finally a place that isnt expensive (.05 cents a game) some games take multiple.05 cents and some free! The kids loved it here. Also great that its easy for kids to win tickets and the prizes are good as well.

James was helping my kids choose prizes :) :) he was so patient and kind to the kids. We have NEVER been disappointed going here. Love this place

My wife, son and I had a blast playing some old school games and it was great to see my wife beat my son on Dance dance revolution..great times... lol

Fun place for kids and adults. Free games older but still free. Games and take nickels not quarters .. birthday deals and 4 dollar charge at the door to exceptions. .games paid for dispense tickets used to purchase trinkets and toys.

Great social distancing! the staff was cleaning everything consistently and appropriately! And lots of fun!

Was nice that even in an arcade there was social distancing !

An awesome local business keeping the magic of arcades from our youth alive. Its a great spot for family events or a date night. Ive been here several times and always the value for the price is unmatched. There is no bar or food, but what there is are a ton of amazing arcade games, just like when we were kids. Highly recommended - I love supporting this small business, which embodies all the good things about our community.

I love this place its fun a good way to be lazy and spend there for hours I love the free games maybe some of them has a broken button. I wish I can give the money to fix the games and get newer games! The prices are pretty good not to bad. Good prices I love their specials too. Good for all the family to just hang out. But again I really like their games and everything I really wish wish someone could give money or I wish I could get some money to fix the games and get newer games for the place wont die.

This place is awesome, i would give it a 5 star rating but the issue is that it stinks there. I still go anyways and have fun. But it stinks. Maybe Im the one that stinks but it couldnt be. I asked my girlfriend and she said it wasnt me. So i just thought maybe she was just trying to make me feel good. So i took another girl, and asked the same question. Still same answer. So my conclusion is that it does stink in there.

You already know its a fun place and nice people, but also... The entire time we were there, one off the employees was constantly sanitizing all the machines.

My Nephew and I had a great time, he even got enough tickets to get what he actually wanted!!! Loved the place.

Love this place! I reccomend a different smelling hand sanitizer but thats not your fault. Always a fun time and nice staff.

This was incredible. So cheap, with so many options. We played for hours for less than $10 a piece.

Very cute little place. Not a lot of stuff for my 3 year old. But good for bigger kids. And Very adorable. Will definitely come again. Only downside is no food

A wonderful place to come for a date night or with your family! Half the venue is pay to play with tickets for prizes, and half the venue is free games to play as much as you like. Because of the frequent use of the games, there is usually one or two being repaired, but they are very quick to call for repairs and have it fixed so you can enjoy it. Entrance is cheap and they conveniently have bags of nickels ready for you to purchase. There specials are fantastic, one for each day of the week they are open. The staff have always been courteous and fun and respond to issues immediately. Its one of my favorite places to go with friends and my partner!

Really fun arcade for kids. They have a wide variety of arcade games for kids and a large selection of prizes.

Great place... very safe with the Covid thing going on

It was fun to play the vintage video games. And the are free. Have a choice of pizza or sandwiches for birthdays.. The sandwichs were small but just right for kids. Chips were included and drinks. Also cupcakes. The retro games were fun. They also had some that cost the nickle. It was kinda crazy. You dont want to leave them alone. Cost to get in is under $5. It really wasnt bad. Nice change from chuckie cheese where everything cost.

This was a super incredible nickel Kayde, the kids had a blast with all of the free to play games, it was a great place to spend an afternoon.

So fun! You pay a flat fee to enter which includes most of the video games in the back. For nickels, you can play ski ball and other arcade games. Some cost several nickels (30 cents for guitar hero, 50 cents for DDR) , but still super affordable. We spent a great time here to end our trip.

Came here to drop off our child for a birthday party and my wife and I ended up staying the full time. Entrance is 3.95 a person and games are generally a nickel or two. Most of the games are actually free. Games are very old but it brought back good memories, definitely somewhere to go again for a very low price especially when compared to a Boondocks.

This place is awesome! For only twenty bucks, me, my husband, and my 9 yr old son we able to play all sorts of games for about two hours. Then my son got to pick out a bunch of stuff with all the tickets he won. It was a great way to enjoy some family time. Plus if you go on Thursday you get 1000 tickets just for walking in the door, my son was stoked!

Really fun place to go to and not very expensive

Place has a bunch of free games. Of course you have to pay the entry fee, but thats only a few $$$. All of the ticket games are a nickel. You can get a bag from the cashier or use the coin machine with cash. Our kids love going there. We spent hours there the last couple visits.

THIS PLACE IS GREAT! All the normal fighter games are free and like the sign says, everything is a nickel...well it sometimes cost multiple nickles, but its still cheaper than an adverage arcade. I love this place!

Love this place really cool cheap and fun.

I love the setup. Good price for sure. Some of the games need to be fixed but there is a good selection.

Had so .much fun my childhood was reclaimed

The people are alright I guess. Theres one with curly hair and glasses. Shes pretty cute

This place was a little run down, but I expect that for a nickel arcade. They had several games for free. I went there with $10 and killed 2 hours while waiting for my flight. They are generous with there tickets and the prizes are good.

This place is awesome. We just wandered in while we were waiting for the resale shop to process our drop off. Ended up staying most of the afternoon. Will most likely have a birthday party there for our son at some point. I wish the shooting games were calibrated, as they are pretty much unplayable. But we still had a great time and spent less than 20 bucks for 3 people for like 4 hours you just cant beat that.

Could definitely use an update and cleaning but besides that, favorite place to go :)

Inviorment of positive endure. 10/10 recomend. Super easy in $$$. Very cute and home town like, small. Did feel slightly rushed at prize counter with my birthday cousin along later in the night, but over all highkey recommend! Very fun.

Its an older place , run down with older games, but still fun for kids ages 4-60! You cant beat 5 cents! (Some games do require 10 cents)

First time. Staff was very nice. Had a great time. I really love ed playing all the old school free games. We will be back.

I thought this place was nice for what it is. Great little arcade for kids to enjoy and parents to not spend a ton like other places.

A great place for kids to relax and just have a blast.

Great pricing and staff! even fun for adults. Chloe and Anna are awesome

Its a very old place. As per my son games are from around 2003. Old fashion but it depends on the mind setting. We had a good time.

I wrote a lengthy review for this place and who knows why it doesnt go through but anyways I absolutely loved my time here being a first time visitor and I loved how I was greeted upon entering and I came because Ive been searching a DDR machine that functions perfect and when I played supernova I wasnt disappointed. I love how the staff was paying attention to me playing DDR and complimented my skill haha. . Im definetly coming back. Kudos to the management and staff.

Our family loves nickel a play! It is a frequent spot for affordable fun. Its a bit aged and run down, but for us it just feels homey and nostalgic. I love this kind of a place compared to overpriced arcades. Personally we think the Wednesday best. Free admission with buying a $5 bag of coins. Were a family of 7 so we pay $35, but only actually use about $15 worth of coins because so many games are free. Then we rewrap the coins and turn back into the bank. I know it sounds cheap but for s hug family on a budget its fun quality time without breaking the bank!

The girls had so much fun. They want to plan and go back. Not expensive, just lots of fun!

Took my kids for a fun day . We had a blast for 30$ we will be returning!

Had a great time with the family! Air hockey skee ball. Great service from the two ladies working tonight. Always a fun time. Oh yeah....20 cent pinball!!!

My favorite place to take my girls. We always have tons of fun here

Fun at a value price. Yes some games needs some work and a few folks think it be cleaner, butMy kids love it. They can spend hours in here. This last visit, I went a little overboard and spent $25 ! Normally we only spend $15 - 20. Where else can you have 3 or 4 hours of fun for that amount of money?I will say this. Every time we have gone, its always the same 2 ladies working, and they are awesome.

Classic arcade games, pizza, tickets, prizes.....anything else you need? Not me.

Prices are good. Staff is cool. The only downside is that some if not most of the free and ticket games dont work. But all in all it is a cheap and fun way to waste some time.

Great arcade you can play some free games all the games are cheap and there are so many cool prizes at the arcade and the claw machines are easy suggest coming here

Nostalgic old school too legit to quit! Reminded me a bit of Timeout if anyone remembers that place. Cheap good ol fun!!! Love that half the games are free and other half with tickets for attainable prizes. Thanks for letting my inner kid flag freely fly and see the joy in my daughter and friends lil boy. Hands down will be a repeat customer! Staff is super friendly and helpful. Bathrooms are clean! Glorious!!!

Very cool place. Nostalgic games and many (more than half the arcade) is free with a minimal entrance fee. Then its nickel games although some cost more but rarely over 20¢. Very awesome for old gamers and you g kids!

There are a few games that are free to play. The rest of the games cost the about 1-6 nickles (Most of the claw machines cost from 6-10 nickles). There are multiple games and some of them give you tickets. Some of the shooting games dont work very well, but some of them do work. This place is fun for the family if you are on a budget.

I work here, and every shift is fun :DHere are some of our prize buttons that I thought were funny (100 tickets, they go pretty quick haha)!

This is a place for all ages. Whats not to like when it only cost a nickel!! Some machines are free and some break down in one way or another but the kids just loved it and thats what matters.

Took our grandson to this Arcade and he enjoyed him self. Im giving 4 stars durle to some of the arcade games didnt work. They did post signs on many of them but there were still some that didnt have a sign and didnt work. Overall this place is a great value for entertainment for the whole family.

I really miss a true arcade.. and this just hit the spot. It is small and dated (the dated part could he said about me too!) but the value is amazing. Free games, weekday incentives and discounts, and the prize booth has some great unique items!Would love to come back when we are in the area again.[Owners]-Thanks for putting up not operational signs! #1pet peeve of mine.-Amazing value.. hope it can stay.-Loosen up the mechanical claw prizes, I play these often and I could tell just by looking there was no way we were getting prizes from those machines. The plastic balls for tickets were good. My 6yo really liked that.-hope there are creative ways to get the games repaired and possibly some updated ones without changing the cost too much.

Its arcade games. For a NICKEL!Pro: This place is fun! Lots of games are free to play. A great place to introduce modern kids to the arcade games of 80s and 90s. There are more modern arcade games, too. A good mix of new and old. They have daily deals, a party area in the back (great for birthdays), and prizes for the kids of all ages.Con: Its a bit dingy. So, bring some hand sanitizer, to be on the safe side.

This place is great. The kids love going to nickel-a-play.

This a great place to spend an afternoon with the kids. The bathrooms were clean, which is always a plus.

This place is truly amazing. A diamond among the ruff. This brings me back to the classics in the 90s. You are supporting a great bussines with the best games. They have the classic games such as street fighter and Time Crisis 1,2, and 3. You can spend days here. Trust me if you are in Aurora it is great date place or just place to relive memories. A lot of their older games are free to play as well.

Fun place to spend $20 and a couple of hours. A neighborhood landmark. Fun arcade games from the 80s and early 90s. Plus a lot of ticket games!

Best value for under $10, this place is great!You will pay about $5 to get in, and you will get $1 in nickles to use. But all the non-ticket games are free and do not require coins to play. There are also deals for getting in and buying a drink, a sandwich or pizza when you enter.They also have daily deals Monday through Thursday, of which these are actual good deals, like buy-one-get-one entry, free entry with $5 of nickles purchased, or just giving you 1000 tickets with entry paid.If you have kids and want to let them play older games for hours without constantly begging you for coins and money, then this is your place. The games are arcade standard, and vintage, but are all fun and an incredibly good deal for the price.Sometimes games are not working, or malfunction. But that is no different than Dave and Busters either, its just a hazard of Arcades. If you want an inexpensive afternoon or date night, then you can drop $10 here and have a great time.

Dirty, run-down, and in terrible repair. 1 out of 3 machines is either broken completely or unusable. Most arcade machines have burn-in and broken handles/switches. Every item in the building is grungy, covered in filth- from sticky, gross arcade buttons to black and grey and brown smudges all over every wall. Its honestly hard to touch anything wihtout fear or revulsion. Epic cobwebs and dust coat all of the items in the ticket exchange, and the tops of all the machines. If you look closely in the Claw machines, the bottom layers are literally rotting and crushed, flattened, old toys that have likely been there for years- they must just keep loading new on top of old. The heat in the building is intense. There is not ONE place to sit down, and you cannot have food or liquid on the game floor. Their inexact method of ticket calculation leaves much to be desired; and the incredibly lazy daily ticket voucher system is really only there so they can, in future, deny you your fairly earned tickets when you return and try to redeem them. Adults Note: This is NOT some cool barcade-type situation for adults to go and enjoy nostalgia and have a ton of fun. There are not many nostalgia-worthy arcade games at all (barely any classics). The Ski Ball is always broken or malfunctioning. Teh Air Hockey is dinged and chipped and damaged. Nickel-A-Play is strictly for the toddler and young child set. This is a poor-mans Chuck E Cheese. You will lose money. You will lose tickets. You will probably get ill from the total lack of cleaning and/or maintenance. And dont DARE have a complaint, issue or question: the hardened, life-weathered Manageress will fix her dead, soulless eyes on you, and that will be the very end of your fun, I promise. Skip it and go somewhere with functional machines and a Manager that cares about providing passable customer service.Editing review post covid-19 as it seems much cleaner and clearer now.

Finally got to come here for my birthday outing and it was so much fun! I felt like a kid again, i like that they still had paper tickets, classic games and the same kinds of prizes that I use to like when I was little. I came all the way from Greeley to check it out with my family and it was totally worth it! Perfect for ballin on a budget and the staff were super friendly

Lots of games. Right fit for a fun date. Not very expensive.. some games dont work well.

My kids and I have been coming here regularly for years. Fun games, friendly staff, and a great value.

I love this place kinda reminds me of my childhood lol except they have guitar hero I could sit here for hours playing that game lol but nonetheless its very reasonable with the pricing and the staff are pretty chill. Would definitely come back once I shake down some kids for there lunch money

My son won a game it said 30 tickets on the machine and it didn’t give him his tickets. The lady said that he didn’t win even tho it happened to the person before. Staff was insanely rude. Don’t waste your money here

Awesome time. Your dollars definitely stretch here. So much fun. Lots of free games, and lots of games that reward with a lot of tickets. Definitely recommend and well be back.

Affordable and great option for kids during bad weather.

This place is great for a cost effective outing. I took my 4 year old on 2 for 1 Tuesday and only spent $10 for 2 hours of fun.

Very fun place to go. Even for adults. Only problem being a lot of games dont work.

This place is so fun. I definitely plan on returning!

If you are looking for the pristine, glitzy Dave and Busters experience, go elsewhere. This arcade feels like arcades did in the 80s. Some machines dont quite work, others are well loved (beat up but still delivering 16-bit goodness), and others feel like museum pieces that shouldnt still work but do. And there are kids everywhere. And it is amazing. It feels like an arcade should feel--filled with joy and laughing and running around and an overworked staff who still manages to help you out with a smile even though Im sure the margins on this place are thin. Kids will love all the ticket machines and the weird prizes; adults will love Pacman and Galaga.

Nickel-A-Play is a super fun place. Its a little grubby and a little aged but thats part of the fun. Great arcade feel and such a great value. Really enjoyed our time there, loved that kids could easily get enough tickets to win prizes, and everyone walked away happy. The only downside is that its a little far from my house and I wish someone would open one on my end of town. XD

Such a fun place! If you want to play old arcade games and ticket games, this is the absolute perfect place. It’s such a traditional arcade and it’s just what the doctor ordered. We love stopping in and spending $20 for an entire night of fun! That includes playing with all the nostalgic toys we buy with our tickets! Love this place!

Inexpensive fun for my little guy! People are very nice and helpful.

Affordable and fun. Spent 3 hours on the DDR machine, spent less than $10

I had a great time here with my son, and it is very reasonable

Great place to take my kids every once in a while!

Its a good experience for the price and you cant beat that most of the games are free to play. Not everything is working 100 percent; the Time Crises games arent down but theyre unplayable for example. The lady at the front desk was very helpful and was even running around fixing some things. This place has been around for ever and Ive enjoyed coming here the past almost 10 years.

I always have fun here as its inexpensive and the off hours are nice. Its definitely not for everyone though as the other guests can be loud and not very thoughtful though the staff are usually very nice and helpful. Some of these games are free to play though there is a smash admission fee to enter. Other games that give tickets cost only a nickel and the prizes range in size and quality depending on the amount of tickets youve earned or saved over time. Its great for a cheap fun time with friends especially on the off/slow hours.

Hard to beat the price. But some of the games dont work and can eat up those hard earned nickels. Mostly, the kids loved it. There are plenty of decent free games in the back that are great for a retro flashback.

Huge selection for a small entry fee. Lots of generous ticket payouts that will keep you hooked. The staff was extremely energetic and friendly!

Sure the games are old and sometimes have issues but you can not beat the price a d the staff is awesome and quick on the fix for the old games we will be back for sure

This arcade will take you back to the 90s. You just cant beat the satisfaction of playing games for a nickel. Its a lot more family friendly than some of the arcade bars that have become popular. If youre looking for a fun time earning tickets and reliving your childhood, I cant think of a better place.

Great family place needs more tickets game there about 20 but alot of free games

Kids say its fun, affordable fun, and good for the whole family. Several older games from my arcade-going childhood

Our family had a blast! We went on a Thursday special. You have to pay 4 dollars per person over 3 to enter the buy nickles. Most of the big adult games are free. The kids games are 1 to 2 nickles. The toy claw games are 6 nickles. The prizes are high but the tickets are worth 2pts. We went on a rainy day and that was perfect since we couldnt be outside.

A gem in the rough (but definitely not a diamond). As an 80s kid who grew up feeding quarters and tokens to arcade games, Nickel-A-Play fulfills my nostalgia for that era of games and atmosphere. Understand that these games are 30 years old; some have cosmetic wear and tear, and a few have issues with the controls. Regardless, my daughter loves collecting tickets for prizes, and I get to relive my childhood with her.

Pretty great cheap date idea had alotof fun

Always a favorite when we visit. Good old school games, reasonably priced.

This place is great! Cheap admission and most of the games are free. Large selection of vintage arcade games and variety of ticket games with prizes.

Great fun place to spend family time. 3.95 per person entry fee and all games are either free or cost .05_.15 cents to play accept there large claw machine it only takes dollars. Games give tickets that can be redeemed for prizes each. They have change machines a soda machine and snack vending machine. Overall a fun time cheaply.

Fun cheap entertainment. $4 per person to get in a d then nickel games. Many free games but no tickets. Wouldnt come at night. Very nice employees.

Came here with my nephews and had a blast. Not to many places left where you can go and play games for a few hours for under $10.

Great place to bring yor lilones to have some fun.

Fun place for the family and brings back old memories from way back playing on the Arcades. Worth the trip.

I really enjoyed nickel a play the staff were very nice well mannered and very good at there job i really like the selection of games and atmosphere nickel a play is awesome.
