How much does it cost?
$5 for an all-day pass. One price, play as long as you want — there's no per-game charge and no tokens or quarters needed.
What does the pass include?
Every game in the building — classic arcade cabinets, Lethal Weapon 3 pinball, retro consoles (NES, SNES, N64, Genesis), modern systems (PS5, Xbox Series X, Switch & Switch 2), 5,000 retro games on our Pandora, and "Battle," our own 2-player game you can't play anywhere else. Unlimited play, all day.
Do I need quarters or tokens?
Nope! The $5 pass covers everything. Leave the coin jar at home.
Can I just come for ice cream without paying to play?
Yes! The creamery counter is open to everyone — stop in for ice cream, shakes, smoothies and treats anytime, no day pass required.
What are your hours?
Monday–Friday: Noon – 8 PM
Saturday & Sunday: 2 – 8 PM
Weekend mornings (10 AM – 2 PM Saturday & Sunday) are reserved for private birthday parties.
Is it good for little kids?
Yes — we're built for families. Kids of all ages find something they love, and there's always ice cream to keep everyone happy. For the littlest visitors (under 6), our Board.fun games tend to hold their attention the longest, and the pinball is a big hit too. Little ones may need a hand getting started, but there's plenty here to keep them busy.
Can I drop my kids off, or do I need to stay?
You're welcome to stay or drop off — we have full-time staff on site. Lots of parents drop the kids here and use the time to shop or visit other downtown businesses in peace. Come back when you're done!
Do you host birthday parties?
Yes! Parties are
$175 and book Saturday and Sunday mornings, 10 AM – 2 PM. You get the entire arcade area to yourselves and your guests (the creamery counter stays open to the public during those hours).

Can adults play too?
Of course. The $5 all-day pass is the same for everyone — bring the whole family and relive the classics.
Is there a time limit on the pass?
No time limit — your $5 pass is good for the whole day.
How do I pay? Do you take cards?
We accept both cash and card.
Do you have dairy-free or allergy-friendly options?
Yes — we make dairy-free smoothies, including our very popular açaí berry smoothie.
What is the Social Skills Arcade?
It's the local nonprofit we share our home with — a safe, welcoming place for young people to connect, play, and build social confidence. Every visit and every scoop helps support that mission, so coming in is a little bit of a good deed too.
Where are you located?
124 Main Street, Black River Falls, WI — right downtown. Street parking can be tight, but you can usually find a spot within a block, and there's city parking just one block away.
Can you host groups, field trips, or fundraisers?
We'd love to host your group, field trip, or fundraiser. Use the booking link above to grab a private time slot, and note your group details when you book.
