This is a fun arcade brings back old school video games and the before video game entertainment. It really is a museum of wonder. It’s tucked away so look for the sign and they have pinball

First time visiting and it was great!... Brought some kiddies along to play some games and they had an awesome time.. The old arcade games were great, they even have virtual games. Their prices are CRAZY low and the staff are friendly. I LOVED the decor and the many different factoids. It was like a play place and adventure in the past. Very clean and everything went smoothly a couple games didnt work but the employees were quick to reimburse us. Food smelled great and was reasonably priced. I would highly recommend this location to anyone looking to have a great time. Kids and adults of all ages will have a great time.

This place is okay. Many of the machines will take your coins and end up being broken. A bit over priced but worth checking out at least once.

My 40 year old, Farmington native had never been here... we will be there soon! This place is so cool, full of antiques and arcade history and family fun! I love MMMM!

We go here all the time well not in the last cpl months but super excited its reopened. Great place to kill a few hours during the day. Love the old machines and posters in here could spend all day just looking at them.

This place is amazing been there multiple times never gets boring please go there it is reopened. They are sanitizing all the games and machines so it is safe and it is not packed as of last weekend

Had fun with my cousins!Lots of games!Its an arcade!Very interestingFun for all ages

Great place. Can easily spend an hour or 2 just looking at the walls and ceiling. Then theres games to play as well. Awesome place.

You must visit this place! An audio visual smorgasbord. Come and spend a few bucks 50 cents at a time, but be sure to look at the astounding variety of antique amusement parlour machines. Worth some money just because there is literally nowhere else like it on Earth.

What an awesome and eclectic collection of old memorabilia, as well as new games. Love Bob! Great little place!

My dad used to take me here as a child. Now I bring my kids here. One of my favorite places.

This is the most amazing place on Earth! They have all the classic arcade games mixed with new. Pinball galore! Antique speciality marvelously mechanical machines!! I love this place! I will be back! Bring the family, bring the kids, feed them here because the food is awesome as well!

Hard to believe some place this amazing is so close by and yet Id never been there. Add to your list. We went on a Monday about 11:30 am after hearing about the weekend crowds.....good idea, had the entire place to ourselves. Going back soon.

Love this place.Free admission. Great family fun. Snack area. There is so much to see, so much to watch, so much to do. Vintage games and antique Mechanical entertainment machines that really work. Bring lots of quarters. A look into the past. Win tickets trade for prizes.

Wonderful collection of pinball machines, arcade games, and memorabilia of all sorts. Enjoyable for all ages.

Incredible place our schools have taken many a field trips here ! This worth to save and keep !!! Great place !

Love this place, amazing old vintage games but fun for kids today. Just took our 13yr old here for his Birthday today

This place is really marvelous, its fun for any and every age, free admission, something to look at every which way you turn, little games, and keep sacks, pennie and quarter games. This was our 1st time here and we all loved it. Cant wait to come back.

Maby games you will not find anywhere else! Lovely functioning antique games mixed with 80s and new ones. Always changing. Reasonable prices to play.

Good once in a while fun stop. Cute attractions.

The best arcade museum around. There is no place like it.

Lots of games and things to look at. Games for all ages and good pay out on tickets. Save your tickets up each time or spend them that day. I love the educational side to this place too with old games and picture viewers. Lots of fun for the entire family!

Had a blast with my family here, so much unique one of a kind Trinkets and gadgets. I got a kick out of all the arcade games!!!

This place is an incredible little gem! If you love arcade games and game related antiques and collectibles, this place will blow your mind... There is not an inch that isnt filled with something cool and quirky. Fun outing fir the whole family! We bought a Groupon not realizing that there is no charge for admission but was still a great deal. I absolutely love that all of the games and machines take regular old quarters... No having to deal with cards or tokens! Everything ranged from 25 cents to 2 dollars, most were 50 cents. Very reasonable! My family of 4 spent a good couple of hours here for only $32 and we would definitely visit again!

An absolute blast from the past. So many boardwalk games, along with some rare Japanese release only games, both new and old pinball games, and of course plenty of ticket games. A perfect place for a kids party or even that 40 something party. Definitely a place Ill return to. Popcorn could use a little help, but everything else was beyond awesome.

I love them even though they are closed currently, and I completely understand why. Doing the right thing as a business owner is difficult in these uncertain times. Well see you again soon Marvins!

Located behind the strip mall is a wonderful, different place. Marvins Marvelous Mechanical Museum... This place is great to bring the kids. Such a wide range of coin operated machines. Some are current while others are from decades past. Do you like pinball games? Well there is a nice selection to choose and play. For the games that distribute tickets, take them to the prize store to get something cool. They do have things to eat and drink if you want. Just a very cool place to visit.

Super cool experience for something different in an arcade. Some of the old machines were so awesome to get to see! I would absolutely go here just simply for a new environment from normal arcades. That being said some of the downsides were the upkeep of the restrooms and prices of games. The womans restroom was poorly maintained. Toilet did not flush properly so water went down leaving paper behind , no lock on bathroom door where changing table is located ( luckily had daughter with me to hold door closed and take turns) the toilet paper does not fit on the holder so its stuck in place leaving you to spend time unraveling it slowly. Simple fixes ( lock and paper holder) that are clearly just being ignored. Prices were also an issue, certainly not the .25 games like at Chuck e cheese. Many games are around a dollar leaving you to spend money quite quickly. Went through the money we brought in 30 minutes but the kids did have fun. The baby enjoyed all the lights and movement so everyone had fun. The building is very small so I recommend going when its fairly empty otherwise its hard to get around through people.

Ive been here twice before in my life I live out of state and had to bring the family here it was a blast and a must to go

This place is amazing. Many of the things here will take you back in time or blow your mind. Fascinating place. Thank-you for places like this. Cant wait to go back.

Awesome place to visit for nostalgia and a good time to play some games.

Overall, this was a fun visit for our stay in Michigan. Games range from $.50 to $1.50 depending on the age (newer games are on the upper end). Theres a decent selection of games and it was certainly fun to see some of the games I grew up on in the arcade again.Id definitely like to go back if Im ever in the area again. We were limited on time so we could spend a lot there.

Mixed arcade with some through the decades pieces, most museum-esque pieces non functional, which was a bummer. Holy overstimulation but a neat experience. Bring lots of quarters or money to exchange for quarters!

There is so much to see. The amount of vintage (and new) arcade games is great! Many of the posters and small billboards is a huge blast to the past. Amazing!

Very cool place to visit. Fun! Fascinating. Affordable. Seemed like a very popular place on the weekend. We will likely come back on a week day sometime. Fun to both play the games and just take in their uniqueness. Seems like the establishment has gotten quite a bit of national attention. Convenient parking. Staff was friendly.

One of a kind. Magical fun for all ages! Affordable too. Took the grand kids there for their 4th birthday, and the whole family had a blast! As soon as you walk in the door, if you put quarters in the box to your right, the planes on the ceiling go around the track. There are vintage arcade wonders and pinball games galore. There are a few more modern-day games such as skee ball, basketball, star wars pod, etc....The games all cost between .25 and .75 each. There are things to look at and do everywhere! We spent about 3.5 hours there, and about 70.00 but that was for 2 kids and 4 adults who played a few games, plus snacks. They have snacks and personal pizzas, chicken nuggets, fries, popcorn, nachos. You can do birthday parties there. What a fabulous place that not only preserves a cool part of history, but has a lot of fun stuff to do! We will definitely go there again, and now a few of my work friends want to take their families too.

A museum really. One of the few places you’ll find extremely old games and mini-rides for kids. Plus great new games. My daughter begs me to stop every time we pass by. Who am I to say no?

Such a fun place. Been coming since I was a kid. Great combination of new and vintage coin operated machines.

I had so MUCH FUN!! I came with my parents and we enjoyed it so much. The variety and amount of little games and puppets they have is amazing. Is like entering another world inside there. I just fell in love with the place.

Arcade artifacts from early 20th century to present, they have it all.

Absolute fun! Easily can spend hours here! Great prices and lots to look at! Super cool!

Great and inexpensive fun for all ages. Friendly and helpful staff. Games and machines from different times and places. Bring a few dollars and enjoy some machines/games for just 1 quarter. Rarely crowded and something here for everyone.Very interesting place just to visit even if you dont play anything.

I live out of town, but I absolutely have to visit anytime Im in Michigan. This place is so magical and fun, and its great for all ages, including adults! The passion that Marvin has poured into this place really shows, and I will continue to support it. Definitely a bucket-list worthy destination!!

A marvelous trip down memory lane for young and old alike. meander through oddities while enjoying various games and activities while eating freshly popped popcorn. well worth the trip and revisiting.

Fun place i come just to see the history

First time here and always wondered what this place was. Blast from the past. Amazing collection of oddities and vintage arcades and lots of stuff too see. Free admission. Family friendly place. Lots of fun and can spend easy 1-2 hours here

Fun, and exciting place for both young, and old. Very eclectic atmosphere. Many games to play, some oldschool, some newschool. Snacks and drinks for when you need a break. The place has amazing things to look at all over the walls, and ceiling. The only problem I had was it is a very small place, and gets very crowded.

Always a fun time, especially with a kid who loves all things old school. Wish they had better prizes like The Perfect Game in Farmington Hills

This place is absolutely amazing. There are so many cool and unique things tucked into every corner of this place. Ive been a ton of time and swear I see something Ive never seen before everytime. This place is so nostalgic but still has some of the most new popular games. The staff are friendly and always helpful. There is a great variety of games, prizes and snacks. This place is a true hidden gem. Its quite a drive for us but always well worth it. We are never disappointed and always find myself wanting to go back soon.

Brought back a ton of memories from childhood and Tally Hall. They still had original machines from back in the day. My kids also loved it! Machines gave lots of tickets, the little kid games and rides were only 25¢ or 50¢ each. We went on a Thursday night around 6pm and the kids stayed entertained until almost 8pm. Staff was super friendly as well.

Toys! Video Games! Pinball! Historical Nickelodeons! Hysterical Gags! Food! Fun! Fortune Tellers! Its all here!

I love this place! So many things to see and cool rate stuff! Old fashioned arcade to waste a few hours. Always have to come back, because its guaranteed that you missed something the first time around!Awesome place, with cool nostalgic stuff!

We miss you! We will be there as soon as you reopen! Stay safe everyone!

One of the craziest places you’ll ever go to. Floor to ceiling oddities. Do you want to have a pinball tournament? You’re in luck, there are ten machines. Do you want to watch wooden figurines torture each other? Well you’re also in luck! Get electrocuted while having jokes told to you? Well you came to the right place. I’ve been coming here since I was a kid and I can always find something new and entertaining. Such a unique place.

Very fun place to take your children too!!!

Went here memorial day with my wife and it was crowded so we came the next day and there was hardly anyone there so it was a lot more fun! Tons of pin ball/arcade games plus lots of old machines and things to look at, a lot of which are on the creepy side. Also my wife and i got re-married by the auto-Wed machine lol. we had the most fun playing DDR you can burn a LOT of calories with this game! We will definitely be back!

Wow, what a unique experience....we will be back for sure....not sure about food there but they do have popcorn and slushies

I came here because of tally halls album, i loved it here and it’s just so amazing and bizarre

Interesting place for oddities, games, and pinball. Pretty good for price and atmosphere. Only downside is that some of the machines are inoperable. Still Good for show, but it would be cool if all of them still worked. Well worth the trip though still.

Not a place to find the newest or hottest arcade games but has a solid selection of oldschool to newer cabinets. The decorations are the real draw here. You can spend hours walking around looking up in here. Part museum part kids birthday party. This place always puts a smile on my face.

Just the right amount of interesting old coin operated machines, historical displays, and a ton of fun games to play. Great for adults and kids! Overall Id have to say the place is... Marvelous!

Took the boys for theyre bday had a great time

Holy cow this place is amazing! Easily one of my favorite surprise places to visit of all time. They have ALL KINDS of games and things to do, and you can win tickets. Reasonably priced, and a lot of fun. The airplanes on the ceiling are my favorite part.

Known from coast to coast like butter and toast! I absolutely loved this place!

I love bringing my niece and nephews here. The Groupon deal is great. Even as an adult I love visiting this place. The old vintage games are fascinating. This place is full of color and history. Its so fun trying to get tickets from the modern games. I was very lucky this day and even one 1000 tickets today. Great place to bring kids on a rainy day.

I was so surprised when I walked in Marvins. So many different machines from different eras. Its awesome to see all the generations of games and entertainment in one place. It was definitely a little crowded in some places but overall a really great place to visit.

What a wonderfully unique place! There are a variety of arcade games to play and thousands of vintage pieces to admire. Its free to get in, but bring your quarters.

This is an exciting place to be and for someone like me, who hadnt been here in years, its very nostalgic. I love the mix of past and present with a mix of old to new games. This is a great place, for people of all ages, to enjoy.

Been coming here ever since I was a kid. My dad loved this place. Its like traveling back to the 80s with all of their coin operated pinball machines and interesting quarter showcases.Really fun place for the kids too.

Ive always felt a weird connection with Zoltar machines. I cant pass by one without grabbing my fortune! Although they dont have a Zoltar machine, Marvins still made my off beat-loving heart flutter. This place is full of retro coin machines, the fact you can actually use them is even crazier as some of the stuff here is definitely museum-worthy. Most machines are 25 cents and there are change machines if you need them. We didnt play too many games so we were in and out in a little over an hour. Rating a 4 because a couple of machines seemed to be broken and ate our change, but its still definitely worth the drive from downtown Detroit if youve got time to kill.

I really loved this place. So many vintage automatons and games, everything is very affordable most I spent on playing a game is $1. They do have snacks there and the decor is amazing.

This place is amazing! It has something for everyone, and so much history of coin mechanics. It was definitely a dream come true walking into this place for me. I definitely recommend checking this spot out. By far my favorite arcade/Museum. Marvins is definitely Marvelous! Im thankful I got to experience it first hand! If you do check this place out, Look by the door when you walk in and start the planes!!Also, they have the best prizes for tickets Ive ever seen in a arcade establishment!!!

Interesting step back in time right when you walk through the door. My daughter was slightly afraid of the realistic animatronic coin operated machines but she quickly realized it was all for fun. The place is literally covered from floor to ceiling with incredible items from the last hundred+ years of carnival/arcade entertainment. Even the garbage can lids are a work of art. Along with the old, there are a lot of newer games that give out tickets to exchange for prizes. Id recommend this place for everyone from young to old because its amazing!

Good fun. Lots of old and historic and interesting arcade games/ animatronics. Kids friendly. Also newer games if you are into that. Fair prices.

Holy cow this place is amazing! Easily one of my favorite surprise places to visit of all time. They have ALL KINDS of games and things to do, and you can win tickets. Reasonably priced, and a lot of fun. The airplanes on the ceiling are my favorite part.

Not the best place for little, little kids (3, 4, 5). Its basically an arcade/Big Kids Chuck-ee-Cheeses, but cooler. Its not a museum though. Its an arcade with cool oddities. Its loud and crowded. Not knocking because I understand the idea of it. Its cool for bigger kids. Just a bit chaotic on a busy day

Very fun. Very unique. Great place to take a date or kids. There are tons of pin ball machines and arcade games. Theres so much stuff, its a lot to take in properly. Antique game machines, fortune tellers, and even a couple of small childrens rides.The arcade games even give tickets you can cash out at the end of your visit!To be honest, its not really set up like a museum but every old machine does have an information card attached. Overall, it was pretty cool.

Been bringing my kids here for years. My oldest is 30 and still remembers coming here. Best part is that you dont need 10 pounds of quarters to play. Games are rather reasonable. Classic slushies with flavors poured on shaved ice is a nice touch!

Obviously a ton of older games and machines that are awesome but a bunch of newer great games. Pretty clean, employees were nice. Im sure we will be back!

This is my favorite arcade Ive been to. Its full of neat old mechanical inventions, wild collectables, and broken animatronics. Anyone who says its weird and creepy is honestly not too far off, but that is exactly the appeal. Children can have fun with the modern games and winning prizes, while adults can act like children playing with pinball machines and fortune tellers. Its an unforgettable few hours for anyone, no matter their age.

Absolutely awesome! Done and Nickle arcade shows from whoo even knows when! This place is amazing. Modern arcade games as well but so so so unique. I had foolishly assumed it was a museum or something. No no. Its definitely and arcade but super unique and definitely worth the trip. Youll never see these machines anywhere else.

I come here every summer with my kids. Nice old fashioned arcade. Lots of old paraphernalia to look at. There are quite a few older items that are still in good working order. This place is one of a kind!!! Youll never regret coming here. Come with your family or on a date, its great!!!!

I stopped in here with my son because my girlfriend and I were looking for a cheap, unique, arcade type place that we could take him to for some weekend fun. Though this place wasnt as cheap as I was thinking it was going to be (most games cost a dollar or more), it was however definitely a very neat and unique experience.When you walk in, there is so much to look at, its hard to figure out what you should be checking out first. There is a ton of vintage signage, decorations, and games. It really is neat to be able to see how arcade games started out, and how they are today.There are a ton of things to play here, many that you will absolutely not find at any other arcade around the area. On the other hand, when we were here there seemed to be quite a few non-working games mixed in with the working ones. The facility is also packed pretty tight with games and decorations so when it gets busy, it gets pretty congested and difficult to move around.The only real issue we had here, was when we were trying to eat and it became more of a hassle trying to get the food we ordered, than it was worth eventually eating. I was excited to go to an arcade place that served simple bar type foods that were affordable. That was until it quickly became apparent that they are incredibly unorganized when it comes to the food they offer, prepare, and serve.They forgot to prepare most of our food order, so we all had to eat separately because none of the food was done a the same time. By the time my food came, my drink was gone so I asked if I could get a refill of my fountain pop—and immediately was given resistance from an employee about refilling my drink, which I found to be ridiculous.They also offer things that typically require some sort of dipping sauce (like Mozzarella Sticks) but then have nothing available to dip them into. This may seem petty but its the simplicity of these type of things, that make them the most irritating and inconvenient.Overall, if youre looking for a unique place to play some fun games, then this is your place. With that being said, I wouldnt advise eating here due to the issues I listed above. They also allow birthday parties to come in and the seating they use is mixed in with the eating everyone else has to use for eating or just wanting to sit down—so it becomes very crowded, very quickly if there happens to be a party going on (which there was when we were here). The staff is friendly, but extremely unorganized in my opinion and to me that is a major issue, especially at a place that is small or has a small staff (in this case both).I am glad that I stopped in to check this place out, but I am not sure when and if Ill be back.

OMG! This place brought so many memories. It was lots of fun.

Amazing place! Ive gone many times with different people who fell in love instantly. Definitely a place for all ages

An amazingly fun way to spend a few hours. Its got something for everyone. If you cant find something to have fun with here, you might not have a pulse.

Ive been there since December 17, 2019, January 2, 2020 and also February 11, 2020. Hope lll be there soon!

Wonderful environment with much to look at. All ages Will appreciate. Food and snacks avail. Slushies arent the best.Great value with lots of nostalgia

Its always great to visit Marvins, It is an amazing journey of discovery every time your there. It is great to see the tradition continuing with the mix of both new and modern games with classics as well as all the mechanical wonders, artifacts and oddities..!!! The new starwars pod is a must play.

It was good but some rides didnt work and didnt say that so you and they wouldnt eject your quarters so it wouldnt give you your money back says a nine year old. I would agree although some of the old timey machines are worth the investment just to see what entertained people decades ago.

Awesome arcade and entertainment games! Loved this place! Lots of old antiques and posters! Great food too! Priced just right!

Amazing place. It has something for everybody no matter what your taste is. Way cooler than I was expecting

This place is so much fun! Its a great place to go with friends if youre into arcade games. It is so easy to spend hours here because there is so much stuff to do. Its free to get in, but bring plenty of quarters so you can play the games or activate the machines.

The grandkids loved it. Hundreds of old-time decorations. Many arcade games. Worth the trip.

So cool! Theres pinball, arcade games, and ticket games. My favorite was all the automated contraptions and the historic memorabilia collected there. I also got married by the the Autowed Machine. It does gay, straight, and BFF for life. Admission is free. You only pay for the games. Its a cheap date and a great road side attraction. Worth going.

Very unique place to have some fun and take you back in time. Would be even better if all of the machines worked

Awesome place. Fantastic staff such exciting things there could spend a whole day enjoying this place. Has pizza and snacks and no admission fee just need quarters. A very inexpensive way to have a great time. The owner even gave me a free T-shirt. Family owned very friendly. A must see in Michigan.

Its a fun and unique place to visit. I definitely recommend it if you are into the odd or strange. They have a lot of fun old arcade machines that mainly put on a show you dont get tickets or win anything from them you just watch. If youre going there to treat it as a regular arcade I would say that there are better options like round one over at great lakes crossing. But if you want to win some tickets with the kids and maybe see something else thats fun and interesting on the side that I recommend this location! Definitely one of those locations that makes Michigan unique.

Really cool place to check out for all ages. Very unique things to look at and interact with.
