I havent had this much fun playing old school pinball in YEARS! There are other video games in the rear of the store and the lady who was in charge at the time was so friendly and helpful. We will definitely be back!

As a helicopter mom of a awesome kid who its in the Autism spectrum. As any would imagine I am very caution where he goes. I absolutely love and trust this establishment. He loves it so many choices of game and I have the peace of mind that he is safe. So now he finally has a place where he can have a boys day of Fun affordable place. Every single time Ive visited the staff is super helpful, friendly and goes above and beyond. Met the owner; hes such a humble man, who even took the time to give them a tour. Thank you from a grateful mom. Fort Myers is Blessed to have you and your business.

The owner is really nice! We came on a Friday for date night and it was so fun to play some games we remember from when we were kids. It’s $20 for unlimited play! And they have specials all the time! Can’t beat that! Highly recommend!!!

Spent a fantastic evening at this place. Great selection of authentic vintage 80s-90s arcade cabinets as well as pinball machines. Very nostalgic atmosphere to an aficionado of old school gaming like myself. The owner Sean(hope I’m spelling that right) was very friendly, gave me a tour, offered me a beverage after I’d been there awhile, and even joined me briefly in a collaborative round of Rampage World Tour before tending to his other guests. I highly recommend checking this place out and I will definitely be going back!

Awesome 1980s style arcade and pinball! Owner is an expert in 1980s games and has a great collection. All set to free play, you pay one admission and can play all day. Great for adults and for kids!

We had so much fun! I found myself addicted to the pinball games but theres so much for young and older to play! There is something for everyone with the wide selection of games. The owner is an absolute delight and makes sure you know your way around the games. We will definitely be back! I do wish they had later hours (for date nights or just nights out in general seeing as there is nothing around at night to do in this sleepy town) but all in all I will definitely be back for more fun!

Well done arcade with a plethora of 80s and 90s games and pinball machines. The owner, Sean, makes your time there extra special. Every now and again he walks the floor asking if you need anything, hell serve you a soda or water if you ask. Along with the arcade games, he also has a Nintendo and Super Nintendo. Would recommend to kids and adults, easy to spend a few hours there. Will definitely be back.

All I have to say is wow.. this place was some of the most fun Ive had in ages! The owner and all of his workers were so knowledgeable and nice! The place was being updated so the owner gave us an INCREDIBLE deal! We were only planning on spending 2 hours but we ended up spending the entire time! The time flew by! Thanks so much for such a good time! You guys are great!!

Finally got to check out the Retro Zone Arcade yesterday. My husband, 9 yo and myself spent about 4 hours and couldve stayed longer if it wasnt closing. It was very nostalgic to play the games from our childhood and my daughter had a blast playing old games and the new Stranger Things pinball machine.Brian was really helpful and gave us the grand tour when we arrived. He checked in often to make sure we didnt need anything. He even gave my daughter pinball tips.We will definitely be back. Hoping to see a monthly membership option in the future.

A fun place with tons of vintage arcade games and a nice selection of pinball machines! My family had a great time and the staff was super attentive. Affordable admission price, all games free play so need to worry about coins. Definitely will visit again and bring some friends!

So my son and I decided to go to an arcade last night boys night out and he is 7 years old. So my wife had mentioned this place so I thought why not something different and play all you want. I was pleasantly surprised they were running a promotion and for the money we had a blast and played all the old school games together. Highly recommend this place Brian who we met was great and took the time to walk us through the place before we started playing. Check it out soon people!!!

This place is a lot of fun. My husband just happened upon it one day and stopped in. They have a huge selection of arcades and pinball machines which are frequently being rotated to keep the inventory fresh. If your favorite isnt there one visit itll be there the next. Weve been three times now and are still discovering new games we love. Well worth the hour drive.

Really cool place here right next to The Ranch in Fort Myers. There are all kinds of comics and collectibles up front covering your usual characters. But in the back is probably where most people will spend their time. Theyve set up a few dozen original arcade and pinball machines for you to play around on as well as old console games like Atari or Super Nintendo. Great place for a birthday party or just going to hang out, the guy is super friendly and helpful and everyone enjoyed themselves thoroughly.

Honestly it was like a step back in time. My boyfriend and I went for date night and honestly it’s one of the best we’ve had. We were able channel out inner child and enjoy it together. I was stuck of Frogger and Mario cart while he enjoyed anything with combat. I definitely would recommend for any age group!!

Me and my boy Jake love this place. The games take me back to my childhood and Jake always seems to make a new friend. We spend hours playing all kinds of games and still havent come close to.playing them all. The owner is super friendly and helpful and obviously has a passion for the place. Cant recommend Retro Zone enough!

Really cool place. Original full size arcade games and pinball. Flat price to play all you want. Also, they have comic books and a variety of action figures and collectables. We were there for a birthday party with my daughter, but will bring back my son and his friends that are gamers. Great place to check out anytime, but if you are visiting the area and have a rain out day, totally worth it.

This place is AMAZING! A hole in the wall filled to the brim with HOURS of gaming. The owners and employees are really kind and great with groups. This place really maximizes their space with the quantity and quality of arcade games that they have available. HIGHLY recommend for ALL ages.

Review №23

Lots of games to play. Racing games, shooting games and plenty of the classic arcade style games. Only 9 pinball games but they were all in good shape. Price a little steep on the day I went but I played so many games, today, my wrists hurt. Small snack bar and 1 free drink with wristband. Pinball can be played for $1 if you want to just check it out.

Threw my kids birthday party there and it was a hit. No need to worry about head count due to the one fee for all which included unlimited playing, unlike other party locations that are fun until coins are over. Attendant was extremely nice and helpful. No need to cleanup.Have to say i was worned out after the party. Ordered pizza from a local place. Could not have chosen a better place.

The price is for the full day so you can leave and come back, just wanted to lead with that because its very considerate and can make for literally an entire day of funIts a fantastic place and well worth the price for the whole day. Ever wanted to actually beat an arcade game without a backpack of quarters, now you can! Actually completely the Simpsons arcade with my son and a friend, it was pretty amazing.

Review №31

Many of my favorite video arcade games are here, although several had defective controls, so were unplayable. Several multi-choice units with tons of options -- that made for several dozen of my favorites. Fewer pinball games (few that I knew), but those were mostly in very good shape and playable. Flat-pricing for the day means you should check the hours before going, as they vary.

Fun place! I like to find retro arcades when I travel and Retro Zone was a real treat. Owner gave me a quick tour. It’s very well laid out with a bunch of extra touches like vintage console games, multicades in case you can’t find your favorite, etc.

Review №33

This place is LEGIT. $20 (kids are less) for an all day pass for the arcade!! I can leave and come back and keep playing before close. Countless classic games from the 80s and 90s!! Not to mention extra multicades (1000 games in 1) so you are guaranteed to find that one game you played as a kid. 50 Galaga, Super Mario Pinball, theres comics, and concessions. Cool music and great staff. If youre looking to trade- EMAIL the owner.

Great place to reminisce on the 80s!!As a huge fan of retro arcades and pinball I really loved visiting. They have a great selection of retro toys and collectibles, lots of action figures comics and more. I wish I had more time to spend there but I will definitely be back. I hope to meet the owner sometime and talk shop about the games and maybe volunteer some of my time to assist in restoring some of these great machines.

Wow flash from the past i finally beat the Simpson game with my 8 yr old. We cant wait to go back. At first thought we would be there for an hour well 4 hours later we just had to go since we had prior obligations if not we would of stayed until close. We only did the arcade games but would like to do the pinball next time.

Review №37

If you grew up in the 80s and you like to hang out at the arcade this is the kind of vibe. Its cozy and appropriately dark for an arcade!They also sell some collectibles.What was fun is $20 and you can play as much as you want I especially enjoy pinball from the old days.You might also remember why the original video games were fun because we didnt have to think about it and we didnt have to learn how to play.It might not be for everybody but its a nice trip down memory lane.

The Retro Zone Arcade and Toy Store is a blast from the past, but better - all the games actually work! No tokens necessary, one inexpensive flat rate gets you a get a personalized tour of the games and unlimited play. Games like Frogger, Q-Bert, Galaga, Ms. Pac-Man, Space Invaders!!, Donkey Kong. We entered when it was still light out, and by the time we exited, it was dark and we realized we had forgotten about dinner. Total time warp in all the best ways. Go check it out!

Ok for a little bit. Boring very quickly as a lot of the multi game arcades have the same game. Only 1 Atari retro console and only 1 Nintendo retro console. Small and crowded, dark. Wont go back.

If you are a kid of the 80s or 90s, or have kids, this is a must place to visit when in Fort Myers. The nostalgia will put a giant smile on your face, the games will keep you entertained, and the staff ensure you are comfortable and having a blast.

Review №67

Oh man, this store. What a place! A variety of Pinball Machines to choose from. With great selection of YuGiOh, Pokemon and Magic The Gathering cards. Even some obscure card games. The Arcade selection is interesting. With Marvel vs Capcom, Tekken, Virtua Fighter and Mario Kart GP. Yes even has Beatmania which isnt better then DDR. Has some rare selection of Arcade games. But sadly doesnt have a SnK machine. No Metal Slug, King of Fighters or even Samurai Showdown. Dont expect to find Initial D Arcade Stage or Wangan Midnight Maximum Tune like I was doing. For $20 you can feel what most people missed out on back in the 80s to the 90s.

This place is a great retro 80s style arcade, along with a cool vintage and modern toy shop in the front of the building. The owner is a great guy who is clearly passionate about the business he is running. You can tell he did not just open this place to make money; he opened this place to share his enthusiasm for arcades and give people a cool retro arcade experiences. You will find a good selection of vintage arcades, your not going to walk in and see a bunch of those chance Ticket Redemption Games, no no no.. you are going to find things like TMNT the arcade game, Mortal Kombat 2, Tekken 3 , Ms. PacMan, Q bert, Mario kart … the list goes on and on. You will also find a good mix of pin pall machines near the front of the store (including one of my favorites Terminator 2). Let’s not forget that the front of the store also contains a good selection of toys, collectables and action figures. The toy selection includes things like Marvel Legends, LEGO, Transformers, NECA, as well as many other vintage and new toys. On days when the owner is available you can trade in toys and the owner will do his best to give you a good trade in value.
