The Arcade Warehouse Lincoln — Attraction in Lincoln

Many of the items we played on were faulty (accelerator pedal stuck in full throttle, motorbike accelerator handle glitchy, grenade button not working, touch screen unresponsive) and general maintenance of the building was poor. The one pool table they had was OK though but generally most of the equipment has seen better days and is in need of some kind of fix. Some wall mounted plug sockets hanging off the wall and some machines covered in a bin liner but no sign to say it was out of order. Air hockey was fun but only when we worked out the puck slid better on one side than the other (one way up seemed to stick a bit and so restrained the motion). Toilets had a standard bath towel in which everyone used, no hand dryers or disposable paper towels so hygiene wasn't the best and there was a damp smell when you walked in. If you get there before your booked time you can't sit and have a coffee before playing, you have to stand outside or sit in your car before being allowed in.

We did enjoy our time there but, due to the price of entry, would have thought it would have been a lot better maintained. I was also surprised not to find a Street Fighter 2 machine (though there is Tekken and Mortal Kombat machines).

Overall I would say a little disappointed with the quality and offerings but, as something a little different to do with the kids on a slightly colder and rainy day, I would say it's OK. Just don't get your hopes up for reliving any childhood excitement with yours kids. If you find a machine that you are excited to play on then it will probably be broken in some way.

A few smiles were made on our trip there today but many were lost due to the poor maintenance of the machines on offer

Would maybe go back again but certainly not in a rush.

Also, we found the only thing suitable for a toddler is a tiny merry go round. Thankfully our 3 (very nearly 4) year old is a toughnut and was quite happy to shoot a few zombies (on a machine that should have had many more sensory gadgets but they either didn't work or they had been taken way due to fear of being stolen or something)

Disappointed but still had a...

We had an absolutely unforgettable experience at this fantastic arcade in Lincoln City! From the moment we walked in, the vibrant atmosphere and dazzling array of games captured the hearts of both kids and adults alike. The sheer variety of games is mind-blowing—classic claw machines, high-energy racing simulators, interactive dance games, and even nostalgic pinball machines ensured that everyone in our group, from toddlers to teens (and yes, even the parents!), found something to love. The staff truly made this visit stand out. They were incredibly friendly, patient, and went above and beyond to help us navigate the arcade and even offered tips to maximize our fun on some of the trickier games. Their enthusiasm was contagious, and it felt like they genuinely cared about making our day special. The facility itself was spotlessly clean, well-organized, and felt safe, which is so important for a family-friendly spot. We spent 2 hours here, and the kids are already begging to go back! Whether you’re a local or just visiting Lincoln City, this arcade is a must-visit for a fun-filled day. Huge kudos to the team for creating such a welcoming and exciting environment. We’ll definitely be returning on our next trip!

Let me know if you’d like to add specific details (like a favorite game or a staff member’s name) or adjust the...

Myself and my partner came here a few months ago for a date night. Unfortunately, most of the games were out of order. We ordered some drinks but were told it’s only tea and coffee or canned drinks (this was on a Saturday evening) This evening my partner visited again with his daughter as she was eager to go. Again most of the games were out of order or needing regular staff help because the game wouldn’t restart after knocking down all the objects (a member of staff had to be called over at least four times.) The member of staff on the bar decided to tell my partner (once he had paid for drinks) that they must remain in the bar area with drinks. However we were not made to do this the first time we visited. This information may have been useful before purchasing the drinks and they had to keep coming back and fourth to their drinks which had been left unattended. (Even though they were bottled pop) Both times we have visited the ice blast machine has been out of order. The venue is needing some TLC I.e. the signs outside are peeling, the roof was patched up with tape and cardboard and 80% of the machines were either out of order, not turned on or just not working. Really disappointed and safe to say we will not be returning.

The only positive is the idea of the place. However it does not live up to...
