I literally spent all day here playing all sorts of retro video games. The beer selection and pizza is fantastic and will keep you fueled for the endless freeplay you get when you pay for admission. If youre feeling nostalgic, this is the place for you! There is a NeoGeo machine near the pizza stand that has over 200 games that you can pick to play! Dont miss out!

Great place to spend several hours playing old school arcade games! They have pinball, video and several older home console game systems. If you grew up in the 70s, 80 or 90s and would go to the arcade, bowling alley or any other place to play video games and pinball, then this is the place for you.

Great place if you like old arcade and pinball machines. Pay once to get in, then free to play all day. Came here as my eldest had requested a day with retro machines, and he was not disappointed. Staff are friendly, and keen to ensure you know how it works and what is involved before paying your entry.Food and drink is reasonably priced, and there are 80s music videos playing in the background.Would definitely recommend.

The Daytona Arcade Museum is very fun and entertaining. To enter it is only 20$ per person. It is worth it because you get to go there for thr whole day. So you could go eat lunch of something and then you could come back and not have to pay again. The video games are in very good shape. The staff is very friendly and polite. Keep in mind that if you get a high score take a selfie with your score and show it to the staff at the front desk. The restrooms are very clean.I would highly recommend The Daytona Arcade Museum to anyone.

Awesome service and great choice of games. There is almost every game you could think of and it was like stepping back in time. The bar service was super friendly as well as everyone else in the place. A great vibe all the way and memories of the 80s and 90s for sure.

This is a very cool spot. Lots of retro games and pinball machines. Beer and wine and pizza. $15 unlimited games. You wont find the latest but lots of Sega and Nintendo arcade games. Also a Wii bowling alley, PlayStation and Xbox consoles, Simon, foosball, Dance Dance Revolution, video game museum, the first coin operated arcade game and lots of other cool stuff.

This place is AWESOME! Tons of arcade cabinets, pinball machines and even a small area for classic console gaming (PONG anyone?) The staff is super friendly and helpful and the overall atmosphere is great. Beer for us older kids ;), Pizza, Snacks, Sodas, MTV Videos, it even has a cool little museum as the name implies, where vintage consoles in-box, old gaming ads and even an area dedicated to the famous Atari Dig all can be found here. Prices are very fair and after you get your wristband you can come and go as you please.I highly recommend stopping in if youre ever in Daytona. Its a great place for all ages.

Review №15

Great Mix of vintage games! Huge assortment of pinballs from 60s mechanical to the famous late 70s Ballys, a working 70s Gotlieb. Spent fours in there could have spent four more. Well worth the 20$ I hope its around for a long time. 98% of the games were in proper working order... Will be a regular stop when I visit Daytona. I hope he adds a 80s wonderboy and a P.O.W....

110 classic arcade and pinball games in a unique former playhouse & dance-club venue. High ceilings, big stage, and in general a cool open feel. They have 80s music videos playing on a huge screen at the back of the room and speakers mounted high up in the stage racks, its really cool.For a flat fee, you can access the game floor and play all day, with no tokens or coins required. Enjoy timeless titles like Robotron 2084, Asteroids Deluxe, Space Invaders, Pole Position and modern classics like Hard Drivin all day. A couple machines running LCDs, this was a little disappointing, and the museum as it is called was lacking many historical and or rare games that would be expected of a museum - though it seemed they might be working on that over time.They also have a number of beers on draft though you can enjoy them in their bar area, not while gaming, the same goes for pizza and sodas.Off to the side they have a bit of gaming history on display, including a ton of Atari items recovered from their dumping activities toward the end of their run! Pretty cool to see in person. Sad too.All in all a fun spot. Make sure you have at least two hours to kill, youll need it to enjoy all the place has to offer.

Return to an authentic video arcade! The 80s videos set the mood for a time warp back of stealing quarters off your dads dresser and being a pinball wizard! Classics like Donkey, Spy Hunter, Tron, Dig Dug, Xevious, Gorf, Galaga, Centipede, and more with pinball machines and a concession stand! Some video game history and memorabilia. 20 buck gets you unlimited play all day!

This place is just mind-blowing!!!! They have everything you need to bring you to the 70s and 80s era. From Pizza to beer to everything arcade. They have TRON, Joust, Galaga, Mario Bros and donkey Kong. You name it they have it. Also a great selection of music and pinball. The price is right and the atmosphere is perfect. Please check this place out!!!!

I was really confused when I first walked in because its just a few token machines. Then I heard noises from the back and found this wonderland of games!Even had my favorite pinball machine The Adams family the selection is incredibly expensive and I could spend all day here!

Fantastic collection of machines...just utterly amazing. My family enjoyed every moment there. And having a bar area with an awesome selection of beer... very refreshing. This place is great and I cant wait to go back. Those machines are in INCREDIBLE condition. The museum pieces as well - too cool to see beautifully preserved historical gaming artifacts.

Review №23

A rather unique place that takes one back in time. Wide selection of games and some unique titles. The museum display area is if interest, but won’t occupy a good deal of the visit. Bring teens here for some great family fun and allocate a decent time frame. You can spend 2-4 hours here easy. The food is concession stand quality and nothing special. Road Blasters was a game before it’s time and they have that and so many other great classic arcade games here. Also a decent selection of pinball machines as well.

Cant believe I didnt write a review for this place. This is a must stop in Daytona for anyone who calls themselves a gamer. So much history and all you can play games. Awesome retro music playing too with music videos projected on a big screen. Will defiantly be back next time we travel there.

Review №25

If you love video games and never got to experience playing at the arcade as a kid, this is the place to go. For $20, experience generations of games as much as you want all day. Sadly, not many 90s games if youre looking for them yet. But it was so great playing the classic 70s and 80s games in person.Definitely a great plan b if Daytona starts raining.

Over 100 games. Over half are video games but I like the pinball machines the best. Spent a good 5 hours playing. Clean and well kept with a full snack bar AND adult bar on site. No reason to leave!

This was a hidden treasure. Old school fun. We spent two hours here with the wrist band. All kinds of arcade games, pinball machines, even Pong, the original video game. Highly recommend for a quirky trip into the past.

Review №32

Loved all of the games here! They even have a display of older stuff. The o ly thing that I wish they had would be a water fountain. You cant bring any food or drinks by the games (which makes sense) but when you are playing games for a while you get thirsty and need a drink and want to get back to playing. You do get to go in and out at any time which is awesome!

Review №36

Love! Love! Love! Cant believe I wasted time all these years sitting in traffic when I could have been here. Found this place by accident but from here on out, it will be on purpose. You are not going to believe all the games you forgot. Because it is a flat fee to go in and then go and come all day, I recommend you go at opening. You might not go anywhere else. They have a concession area, great music accompanied by great videos. Just leave me here!

Review №37

Very cool place for kids and slightly grown up kids (especially if youre a slightly grown up kid that was a slightly less grown up in the 80s). Its a little pricey to get in, but when you consider that you can easily spend a few hours here or more (if youre into old arcade games), its not so bad. Great way to spend a rainy afternoon.

Great collection of video and pinball machines. The price is definitely a bit steep if youre not planning to spend all day. We used the matinee pricing and found it a fair value, they definitely need to keep that option available.

Fantastic place! One of my new favorite places ANYWHERE! They have lovingly restored (and maintained) dozens of pinball machines and vintage arcade games. All are playable! You pay a flat rate at the door, then everything is unlimited for the day.

Fun for a couple hours. Don’t think you could spend all day here unless you really loved old video games. Also had some Nintendo and N64 Mario kart. Over 21 can go upstairs where there’s a PlayStation, Wii and tables to hang out.

Review №44

You missed it. The arcade is out of business. :( 6/8/19)Great experience for me, who grew up in the arcade era, and for my son who loves retro gaming, but missed the 80s. The $20 seemed a little steep, but they have so many of the real classics, I felt like it was appropriate after the experience.

Review №45

This place has got to be another big joke that Daytona Beach has become. Didnt go past the entrance, 20 bucks to play?Use to go to the Boardwalk in the 70s and play them, give the girlfriend $1 in quarters and she could play all afternoon and come back with 50¢ (Pinball Wizard from Cali), me Id play about $1/$1.25 before Id be wore out.Save your money, and they dont even have my favorite game, lota Display Only & Coming Soon BBW

Review №49

Fantastic place, tons of retro games and pinball machines, some games are pretty rare. In addition to the arcade games seeing the various game consoles and other historical items was interesting and educational. Regarding the economics, I find it to be very fairly priced. To maintain that space and number of games is not cheap. Some games are 35 years old. They break from time to time. So the entry fee to me, is more than fair. The key is if you get a day pass it doesnt make sense to show up 1.5 hour before closing. Allow for plenty of time to play and get your value. Theres just not many opportunities to play the original old school games anymore so this is a must-go if you are in Daytona.

The Daytona Arcade museum is awesome. U pay $21 and its all u can play. Pinball machines arcade cabinets and even home consoles set up ready to use as well. There is an upstairs part but u have to be 21 years of age to go up to the 2nd floor.

Worth every penny. Great for a date night or family fun. Visited this place twice while in Daytona and loved it both times. Spent several hours there each visit. The 80s music videos playing set the mood for a trip back in time enjoying the games and consoles of days past. Fantastic selection of arcade games and pinball with no hassle of worrying with tokens or quarters! Staff was super nice and helpful on each visit and theres a nice area for snacks, pizza, and drinks as well. Definitely a highlight of our trip!

This place is pretty awesome. They offer a huge amount of arcade games from back in the day. I love how the old MTV plays on none stop music videos on a huge screen.

Great retro gaming and good pizza. Me and my son went at 11 am and left at 7pm. The staff was very friendly. The stage area with music videos and 80s ads was nice touch.

Review №62

I think I came to this place with too high expectations, based off the good reviews combined with my husband being a pinball/arcade addict. First off, the pinball selection didn’t really impress me; and second, when playing them, they are not well maintained- flippers are weak, lights are out, excessive wear, etc. Finally, the pizza was probably the worst slice of pizza I’ve ever had- way over cooked. But the garlic knots were great.

Great place to go!! If youre a 80s kid and loved the Atari era this is the place plus lots of pinball machines. Its 20.00 all you can play and you can play all day theres even a retro console Museum inside. I spent 4 hrs there and still wanted to stay but had to go to get back to my city. Just go check it out trust me.

Fun place! Lots of retro games for everyone! Some popular favs and some Ive never seen. Food wasnt impressive but I guess that isnt what people go there for lol.Great for kids parties! The place is small enough to keep track of everyone and has plenty to do for hours and hours.The lights were a little dim which I thought was cool and it is an old theater so there was levels. Very interesting.The only thing I think they might be able to add is some entertainment for very small children, like toddler age. A lot of families must go there and I couldve used some better entertainment for the baby while the bigger ones played. For that reason I did not stay very long and I wont be back very often. Gotta find something that is more the total package for my fam band.Overall really a great place!

Had games I knew about and some games that I havent, surprised with all the selections and got hooked on the Spider-Man pinball game. Great place to go to learn about the history of arcades and gaming in general. Only gripe is that I saw some other customers mistreating the machines which is a massive shame.

I am a vintage computer and video game collector, so although I love all the old arcade games and the Pinball games as well, I can really appreciate the vintage console games. Like the Atari PONG, the original NES and the Sega Genesis.If you have not been to the Daytona Arcade Museum, you owe it to yourself to get there. So that you can have fun while reliving your youth.

My son (10) and I went there and spent most of the day. It was fun to play the old games and be able to put your initials on the leader board like the old days. They also have several console systems set up (NES, Sega, Atari and more) to play. They also have 80s music videos playing on the movie screen to give it that retro feel.

Lots of great classics.. mostly video games but some assorted pinball machines as well. Nothing too new with an Addams Family as the newest pin and one newer dance dance revolution in the corner.Big video screen playing classic vids from the 80s and 90s.

Amazing place to go! Less than 1hr from the Orlando airport, and definitely worth the drive on any visit or return to florida! The cover charge is well worth it, and kids have way more fun and can relate to the parents with the vintage games! Staff is amazing, and food is spectacular! Make it a whole thing and be sure to grab a soda and slice of pizza while there. Highly recommended!

What a great place to see and play the older games. Pinball, Pac-man, Asteroids and so much more. At times it is hard to get help on the floor but when it is play as much as you want does it really matter? Need to go back as our 18 year old got such a kick out of the place. Thinking of getting him passes to go back as much as he wants.

This place was incredible! The staff were super friendly, the place was spotlessly clean, and the nominal $20 fee to get in was well worth it.

We had SO much fun!!!
