Boardwalk Arcade — Local services in Myrtle Beach

Boardwalk Arcade on the boardwalk in Myrtle Beach South Carolina. This is a big arcade. They have many arcade games and a lot of prizes after you win tickets. The location is literally on the boardwalk right next to the beach. It’s a lot of fun. They have two snack places inside for food. There is parking but you do have to pay since this place is on the boardwalk at the beach. Our visit was Sunday June 25, 2023.

As you walk up to the arcade. You are welcome from the door as they have “Welcome” on the glass. You open the door from the boardwalk and you just see a huge selection of old and more modern arcade games. You have the redemption area on the right with many prizes. You have so many games that you wouldn’t want to leave until all your money is gone. The cool thing about this arcade that it has the traditional coins and tickets. Not the plastic cards you swipe like the modern arcade has today. Make you feel like a kid again by walking around and a bunch of tickets and show them off. So much fun!

The staff was amazing, I couldn’t get my dollar bill into the machine to get coins and I took it to the redemption desk and they exchange it with coins. They had a smile and made a little joke about me breaking the machine. I thought it was funny. The ladies was awesome! We didn’t have any issues with the staff. They felt like they was enjoying their job.

We didn’t get to try any of the snacks places inside the arcade but it did look good to eat. Definitely the ice cream!

The place was clean but it did look kinda old. It was really dark inside the arcade but that is how you want to be for you can see all the lights on the games that glow and shine. I feel like maybe a power cleaning will help the atmosphere of being an old arcade better but that is my opinion. The bathrooms was ok, They do need more attention on a busy day and it was kinda busy even if it was a Sunday.

We did feel safe since it’s in the tourist area of the boardwalk. I didn’t feel like kids was running around and asking for tokens like other arcades does. It was nice feeling just enjoying games and winning prizes. Fun atmosphere indeed.

This place was a charm and I really did enjoy it. It even had my favorite game in the arcade and I played that thing for almost an hour. The game is called “Pearl” I believe. I highly recommend, it’s a the best way to get tickets.

We highly recommend the Boardwalk Arcade. It’s just so much fun all around. You might want to go on a least busy day like during the week. It does get busy on...

I wouldn't really call this an arcade, More like a Ticket Paradise. If you want to play games to win prizes then this is the place for you. My son and I spent $40 and were able to play for almost 2 hours. We had such a blast. My son won a lot of Jackpots, especially playing Tons of Tickets , I swear he had those 2 machines spitting out tickets constantly for a good 20 mins, I was surprised the machines never ran out of tickets. I think we ended up with over 12,000 tickets which got us 4 or 5 pretty cool prizes. It's not like the junk you get at Chuck E Cheese. We actually got a few decorations for our home. The arcade was clean and Well Lit, Every machine was working and the mask wearing Employees were very attentive to the numerous questions my son was asking them about all the different Prizes. We had so much fun we went back 2 days later to win more prizes. I highly recommend going here if you little ones that like to win...

Machines eat coins and tickets aren’t counted right. Inexperienced “management” refuses to reconcile when their machines do not function properly. Typical, young, lowest paid employee types. They act like you’re stealing from them or making it up when machines eat coins. It would’ve cost this company 25 tickets to escape a bad review instead the manager wants to have an attitude and accuse people of being rude when they ask for her help. Then say you’re not getting anything as if she’s punishing you. This is a business making a profit off of scamming people who are passing through hoping you don’t say anything. 1 out of 3 games eats coins….two days in a row. We spent over $100 in this place in two days. NEVER AGAIN. Too many arcades on the strip to keep wasting money at this old, run down, refusing to fix their scam...
