Sportland Arcade — Local services in Ocean City

STEAR CLEAR FROM THIS ARCADE! This place left a bad taste in my mouth after the experience I had last night…Horrible service. Broken down machines. “Manager” with purple hair was very unhelpful and even got loud with me when I got my card stolen from the counter with everyone there. There was still money on the card and all I wanted was for her to exchange a toy my son had won in the claw machine. She refused and continued to say the machines never open…I’m not dumb i grew up going to the Jersey shore and have had exchanges done before but the worst part was when she got loud with me and wouldn’t compensate the money that was stolen right in front of her and her associates, who had left the card there “because they still needed it to pull the points off”. If I could give this place negative stars I would. My son left very upset and so did I. To save yourself a headache I would pick a different arcade. Also, after further noticing the toy she refused to exchange is...

This fun arcade turned our stressful car trip (old van broke down and leaked) into a wonderful vacation. After the 3 hour car ride the event we went down there for ended up being a bad time. This arcade turned everything around. It honestly saved our trip. The staff there were SO nice, helpful, and invested in making sure customers were having fun! One of the managers named Robin was so sweet. She even let us know about where our favorite machine would be moved to for the next time we visited. The prizes were amazingly adorable!!! The clouded leopard being my FAVORITE. High quality and well worth the money. All game techs were super nice. I didn’t see a single unhappy person there. I rarely write reviews, but this place deserved one! A plus for a family fun day. Thank you for saving our trip and letting us have...

It’s an arcade with a big selection of claw machines and games. The con is each claw machine is rigged with a payout of 1 out of 50 or so tries. It’ll pull you in by picking the plush up but will just release once it’s lifted up. I’m usually great at the quick drop ball game and the one I tried just wasn’t working right, the balls were dropping when I didn’t even press the button. On top of that, the sound wasn’t on. Dizzy chicken is another one that is super difficult when it shouldn’t be. The two games that I did enjoy was crossy roads and the SpongeBob push coin game. You’ll spend $20-$40 and end up with an prize that’s worth maybe a couple dollars. Unless you’re highly skilled, don’t expect much. Great for the kids and just keep an open mind that you’re doing it for the joy of playing...
