The Box Arcade — Local services in Van Buren

You ever find those places that seem almost too good to be true? That’s exactly what The BOX is. A little hole in the wall in downtown Van Buren, Arkansas that you would probably walk right by if you didn’t know what you were looking for. At glance it doesn’t seem like much. After entering it’s like walking through the wardrobe on chronicles of narnia. The places is usually popping and a rush of nostalgia (as a 90s kid) rushes over you. A real arcade, nothing really fancy just exactly what you want out of an arcade, old school games and snacks and everybody interacting and having fun. It’s an amazing place for the older generations and a step back in time for the newer. The best part about this place is you just pay a small fee of 10 lousy dollars at the entrance to play whatever game you want from open till close…..that’s right, no need for coins or any tokens, just straight up walk in, pay 10 smackaroos and bon voyage! Play play play! Perfect place for a date, for the kids, or to go take a step back from all the noise of the world and go live in some nostalgic youth for a couple hours. 5/5...

I'm glad we found this place! They have a good selection of arcade games, pinball machines, and even old school, classic consoles setup on TVs for people to play on! If you want to drive to NWA, Tulsa, or Dallas and spend hundreds of dollars to go to Dave and Busters or Main Event go right on ahead. But if you want to support local small business and step back in time with their selection of games I would definitely without a doubt recommend this place!! The employees were very nice and helpful with any questions we had. It's $10/person for unlimited play! No tokens or cards to keep up with. They stamp your hand if you decide to leave for any reason and want to come back that day. It's not some fancy entertainment place, but it's definitely a great local arcade place and will definitely return...

Loved it 😉 went on a Saturday evening. And it wasn't too crowded. Lots of games machines to choose from. Pinball machines. Classic arcade games 🕹. Great place even for fun loving seniors who remember the late 80s and 90s games. Also would like to add...the cost is great 👍 only $10.00 a person at the door 🚪. To play all the games as long as you like or until they close. In today's world 🌎 this is a fabulous idea 💡. And very affordable for everyone 😀. My wife and I are upper 50s. We had a blast! And we will be back! Whoever owns this establishment is a brilliant individual 👏 👌. Recommend for everyone 👏. If it ever go's up for sale...
