i can imagine how busy this place can get closer to the weekend, so try to get there at opening (6PM) if you want to try out most of the arcade games. we went on a Tuesday and it was only $2 cover, stayed for a few hours, didn't get too busy. since the games are free play, it'd be tempting to stay on as long as you can. but don't forget be mindful of others who'd want to play too!
