We only went because we received $40 worth of free credits with or amusement park passes. Several machines were out of order and the place was generally dim and grungy. The two staff members were however very friendly and helpful, but the place needs an overhaul. I would not have spent any of my own money there.

I'm sorry you did not enjoy your visit to Yippee's Playcade. As is the nature of electronics, sometimes machines do break down and we do work to get the games back online right away. In the past year, we have doubled the size of the location, and added over 30 new games. We are continuing to work to build on the customer experience at Yippees. Thank you for your feedback, and I hope you do decide to visit us again in the future.

Thank you for your review! I'm glad to hear you enjoyed Deal or No Deal - it is a new game for us this year!

Short and sweet, this place isn't worth much of your time.
- So few games
- Of the games that were there, most were so outdated.
- A good portion of the games that were worth playing weren't functioning.
- I could care less about the game tickets, but it's pretty clear that you need to spend a foolish amount of money in order to earn enough tickets to "buy" anything.
I would like to acknowledge that the two kids working were friendly.

I'm disappointed that you did not enjoy your visit to Yippee's last summer. I wanted to let you know we've made investments in over 30 new games, including Crossy Road, Flappy Bird, Dance Dance Revolution and Deal or No Deal, and have hired extra staff to keep the games up and running. Plus, our staff still is very friendly! I hope you decide to visit us again!

Yes, some of machines are out of order, but still you can have lots of fun. Some machines don’t work right sometime and need to tell the worker, but they have no problem to return your credit onto your card. If you like arcade games like my husband, you should check this out.

They have lots of games that give you tickets. Some games just for fun. The down side is none of them work! A lot of them need repair badly. There was one that we ended up playing over and over and when we finally got enough tickets to get a prize it was cheaper then the ones at the dollar store. My suggestion is to not waste your money. Sorry Yippee's but if your going to open up a playmate make sure it's a little more modern.

Thank you for your review. In 2017, we have made several investments in the property, including purchasing over 30 new games, hired staff to keep the games up and running, and doubled the property in size. I hope you give us another chance in 2018!

I went in there with the kids to have some fun and this place is ''out of order land'' or Tom Brady's deflategate looks like a joke compare to the football and basketball for those games that still works.
Worn out pretty bad and the toy you can pick from are completely ridiculous.
Don't waste your time and money there.
