We chanced on this place for the first time in 2015. Its almost hidden on the second floor of Johns Pass, but I tell you, this place is akin to buried treasure. It has been the highlight of our Treasure Island trip for two years now, and we will be making sure to return annually for every vacation. The staff is super friendly and accommodating - they stayed open late for us so we could spend all our tokens and finish our drinks, and never once made us feel rushed or like we were inconveniencing them. Tina and Joe are great people! You get 4 tokens per dollar, and the machines are 1, 2, and 4 tokens to play. There are both ticket games (always a slew of cool prizes to be had!) along with normal arcade video games. Highly recommend the Wheel of Fortune game. They also have an awesome new Jurassic Park shooter game, 2 pad DDR, skeeball, hoops, air hockey and lots of others. They serve a few concession types of food and drink. The great thing is they also serve beer and wine, with multiple choices available, so if youre a parent not really interested in the gaming side, you can sit at one of their tables in the cool air conditioning and snack on some nachos and cheese or some popcorn and enjoy a beer while the kids have their fun. Sometimes, they even have vouchers for a free appetizer from Bubba Gumps, so it pays to stop in here before heading to dinner. Long story short: Fantastic fun arcade run by friendly people that serves alcohol. A++

Well kept arcade at Johns Pass. My husband saw the "skee ball" sign and wanted to show the kids. 45 minutes later we were still playing dance dance revolution and having a great time. Some of the games are a bit expensive, costing multiple tokens for each play but, it was comparable to other places we had been. Games that gave you more tickets and have more play time cost more tokens. They served beer and wine which was a plus since we had walked from our beach house. The woman who appeared to be in charge was very aware of everything going on. She was constantly surveying the area to make sure no one was misbehaving or misusing the games. I was very impressed. She even reprimanded some children banging on the glass of one game. It made me feel very safe. We had a very good experience here and would definitely come back if we visit again.

Really happy we found an arcade while on vacation here. They still use tickets and tokens, and games arent over priced! They have skee ball, Galaga, crane machines, and shooting games! I see a few reviews complaining about how you have to buy tokens and commit to playing after walking in. This is very common practice for arcades. If you arent playing the games, youre standing around doing nothing and thats called LOITERING. Employees were very friendly and patient with me when I picked out my prizes. However I cant say the same for these two old women who said "excuse me young man" and proceded to push me out of their way so they could get in front of me. The employees laughed with me about it, and gave me some extra prizes. I wish there where more places like this in Florida. Keep it up!

I visited this arcade about a week ago with my friend and two sisters. We looked around the arcade to check out the games so we knew what we could play before buying tokens. While we were looking at the games, an employee came up to us and told us that we had to buy tokens before looking at games, although we were in no ones way and werent harming anyones experience in the arcade. After I nicely asked if we could look at the games first, she called us imbeciles, and kicked us out of the store. After we left the store, she proceeded to follow us even though we had left already. I would not recommend that anyone come to this arcade, due to their flawed business policy and extremely rude staff.

I had a very disturbing experience walking into the arcade with my young children. This very ignorant and unpleasant young man had the audacity to say to me that we couldnt enter the arcade unless we were buying tokens. The fact that I was a woman of color made it even more disturbing. Why? Because nowhere in the world is it ever a policy that you cant check out an environment unless youre buying something. I will be blogging about this experience and talking to the owner. Good customer service goes along way. That young man and his counterpart should lose their job!!!

The arcade upstairs in Johns Pass was one of the best arcades Ive ever been to. It was fun for adults and kids! They had a lot of new games as well as some classics. This arcade also serves beer and wine, so we got to have a couple drinks while we played. All the games were in great condition, but if we had any issues with the games, the staff was helpful and friendly. When we were all done I was surprised to see there were a lot of prizes for adults as well as kids. The arcade was the highlight of our vacation and we will definitely be back next year!

I walked in to see what games they had cuz my grandson wanted to play a shooting game and I went in to look for it and the guy running the place gave me the third degree (like I was a thief) about what I was doing and I told him I wanted to look around and he said I give u a little bit to look so I said never mind Ill just leave. YOU SHOULD GO SPEND YOUR MONEY SOME WHERE ELSE THEY ARE NOT WORTH YOUR TIME OUR MONEY.

We love this place! So much fun for the kids and us!! The owner and staff really make this place. They are extremely friendly and super patient with the kids and keep the place immaculately clean! This is one of the few arcades that still uses tokens and tickets as opposed to the "credit card" and they serve adult beverages too! Best arcade ever!

This is one of our favorite places to stop while in Madeira for our kids. Good for all ages. Even games for my five year old. The staff were very patient at the counter when my kids were deciding what to get with their tickets. Will be back next year.

Fun and friendly. My family and I go back every time we are in Florida. Probably the cleanest arcade i have ever been too. My family and I highly recommend a visit when you are in the Johns Pass area.

Small arcade with typical arcade games. They use tokens fyi. Owner (i guess it was) was really really nice (older guy & helped us pick out our prize)!

My son loves this place. The owner is a sweetheart. We visit every time we are in FLORIDA. Praying for Florida as Hurricane Irma strikes Florida.
