Arcade Time Entertainment — Local services in Coral Springs

I went to the Coral Square Mall to shop at Victoria's Secret and was surprised to find that it had been replaced by Arcade Time Entertainment in February. Owned by Jonathan Demare, Arcade Time Entertainment has been open for three years and operates a small chain of arcades in Jacksonville, Wellington, and The Falls Miami. They hope to expand to 39 locations by 2027.

My generation grew up in arcades. As home entertainment systems evolved more people stayed home to play games but nostalgia has brought the arcade back reinventing it for a new generation. Some of the other Arcade Time Entertainment locations have a restaurant but this one is just games.

This arcade is brighter and cleaner than the ones I remember from my youth. Games here include arcade games, virtual reality and motion simulation.

FYI fellow Americans - they can tighten and loosen the claws as they see fit. Also thr ticket games to focus on ticket collection is also difficult to get a great number of tickets per game. For instance, I spent 100$ here and won 500 points, spent the same at Dave and Busters and won almost 4k points/tokens so I can get prizes for my kids. We walked out with weak prizes. The amount of tokens/points you need to win good ones is insane. Management needs to rework some things here before I come back and...

Fun arcade with a good mixture of classic style games and ticket-centric games. They have six pinball machines, which are always a treat to find! They’re solid pinball machines including a ninja turtles machine, a Jurassic park one, and some other pop-culture machines.

There are also some classic-style arcade cabinets. They’re new manufactured machines with LED screens instead of old school CRTs but they’re still really fun.

You buy a reloadable card to use for paying for plays on of the machines. Prices are pretty good and they have lots of increments.

As an added bonus, the old school...
