We came to Past Times Arcade for Father's Day with the family, and it was a massive hit for all generations! The $20 admission for adults (and $10 for kids) is an absolute steal because all 600+ machines are set to free play. You don't have to carry around heavy cups of tokens or swipe cards constantly. The sheer volume of history inside this building is mind-blowing. They have over 400 perfectly maintained pinball machines arranged beautifully by era, alongside 200+ classic video arcade games. The adults loved the heavy wave of 80s and 90s nostalgia, while the kids had a blast exploring games they had never seen before. The entire venue is clean, spacious, and incredibly well-kept. Even with a holiday crowd, the layout is so big that you rarely have to wait to play a machine. They also have great milkshakes and snacks inside to keep you fueled up. We played for hours, made some amazing memories, and will absolutely make this a family tradition. A true hidden gem in Girard!

This is one of the most awesome places I've ever visited. I drove four hours from PA with two sons and two granddaughters, getting up early so we could be there at opening time. It is a very short drive to Past Times once you leave the Turnpike; very easy to find. The arcade games and pinball machines are pristine and beautifully maintained. I had not played a Galaga arcade machine in 40 years and it worked like it was new! Missile Command, Qbert, Dig Dug, Periscope, everything is there. I'm not a pinball guy but I loved looking at all the art on the vintage machines. The admission price is one of the best deals ever...I feel like I got my money back in the first hour. The cafe is great, with big chicken nuggets and chili dogs and cane sugar soda (and diet soda and unsweetened drinks as well.) I sent photos to all my friends so they could see this magical place...we are coming back soon with more kids and grandkids in tow!
