I’m from Minnesota and Arcade Monsters in San Diego is seriously the best thing in the world. The place has an amazing selection of games, a fun atmosphere and it’s the kind of spot you don’t want to leave once you walk in. Everything felt exciting, nostalgic, and just all-around awesome. Definitely one of the coolest places I’ve been to in San Diego!

We visited here for the first time over the summer and loved it! So much that my son decided he wanted to have his birthday there. They have two floors full of all types of games, and even some old arcade ones. We loved all the pinball options. We rented the Beetlejuice room for 2 hours, staff were SO attentive and helpful. They made everything super easy. Since you can only bring in desserts, we ordered the food there. The food was good! We had pizza, wings, fries and they sell individual cans of soda or water. We didn't order alcohol but they do sell it, which is a great option. Parking was fairly easy early on a Saturday, and apparently there's an all day lot around the corner for like $11. The Beetlejuice room we were in had games inside too and so while some kids were finishing up food, others went back to play. A great time was had by all, and even after the party was over, a few people stayed since admission is for all day. The place is like a glow in the dark vibe, I can only imagine how it is at nighttime. Super fun place for kids and adults alike, we definitely found a new spot we'll be visiting regularly. And thank you again Arcade Monsters for making our son's birthday fun and special!
