The Arcade Warehouse

What an awesome place for family and kids on Saturdays!!! Truly amazing how they serve the community by offering and opening their doors to their FREE ARCADE GAMES WAREHoUSe with over probably 150 games!!!

Recently my company put together an «Arcade Happy Hour» in which we rented 10 arcade cabinets, air hockey, pinball and a couple other large games from Royce and his team.
The whole process was smooth as butter and Royce is genuinely a great guy and super easy to work with! In the beginning we agreed on a time for a walkthrough of the area we designated as our «Arcade», got the logistics figured out and two weeks later on the day of they arrived on time, set up and stayed for the duration to see things through.
The feedback we got was phenomenal and this was definitely one of our best Happy Hours yet! Highly recommend using The Arcade Warehouse for your next event for both their professionalism and reasonable prices!

Read about free play Saturday on We Love L. A’s blog of free things to do in L.A. and made the pilgrimage from Anaheim to Chattsworth to check it out. Let me preface this by saying I’m not the arcade expert or fan, the boyfriend is. There were a lot of classics and nostalgic games like the 7-​Up game, Willow, and pin-​ball machines. My favorite was the skeeball machine, but I almost lost it on all these bratty kids that were disrespecting these historic artifacts by not using them correctly and not letting others have a turn. So yeah, great idea free-​play Saturday, definitely more for the kids than the adults even though the video games are all classics. The staff were all super friendly and informative and they offer a $ 100 rental of any game for one month delivered to your place with repairs included. They deliver for free to anyone within a 25 or 35 mile radius and change the game out every month with a minimum commitment of 3 months. Would I drive all that way again for free play Saturday? No, but the guys that run it and the cause are great. If you’re thinking of having children you should go here on a Saturday and I guarantee you you’ll figure out if you really want them or not within 30 minutes.

What’s not to like really… It’s vintage arcade games, it’s Saturday, it’s free. You’d have to be a real tool to give it anything other than five stars. On Saturdays anyways… Went there with my kids (boy-​8, girl-​5) both enjoyed and had good time, my son a bit more though :)

We rented this place sight unseen for a joint birthday party, and it was worth every single penny!!! We walked in based on the Unilocal reviews, and not only did all the kids geek out, but I think the parents had even MORE fun!!! Tons of games, a great space and Royce is so easy to work with. We are 100% going to go back and do this again for our other son. Best party ever!

We took our two small kids there for the Saturday play and they loved it. The staff was friendly and accommodating. It was really neat to see my kids enjoy doing something I loved growing up in the late 80s. Thanks!

I absolutely love this place! My son and I went for mommy son time and he was in heaven, and didn’t want to leave. It is family owned and operated which I love! And they couldn’t be sweeter, What a great place to spend a Saturday, I will definitely be back!

Not only is it great for companies/​people to rent classic arcade games for their employees (friends & family) but this company … is SO COOL that it opens it’s doors to the public to play for FREE on Saturday’s 9 – 4. That’s unheard of. Definitely they sort of people/​company I think should be supported. Win/​Win!

How can you argue with «free»!?
Every Saturday they open up their warehouse to the public for free. There are 20 – 30 classic arcade games from the 80s-​90s. A few of my old favorites were missing (Gauntlet for example), but they had a lot of excellent choices. It was great not having to continually shovel in quarters to keep the games going.
Their main business is to rent out these machines on a monthly basis ($ 100 per month, 3 month minimum, you can swap out the machine monthly, delivery included) or for parties (I think).

The kids and i went here today (Saturday) to play dozens of games for free! It’s awesome to get to play all the old video games from my youth and try to put your initials up as high score. I love that the people there were not machine hogs and let every one take turns playing. Of course, if no one’s waiting, you just play again if you want. Some of the pinball machines/​video games didn’t work so that was a bummer, but it’s still an awesome place.
It did get a little warm with all the machines on and bodies in the warehouse, but it wasn’t unbearable and they do sell cold beverages and snacks at reasonable prices. My son was obsessed with the old asteroids games they have there, but my daughter and i played pretty much every other game.
It’s worth the drive to the valley for the free play Saturday. Go there. Have fun. You’re welcome.

Free open house on Saturday mornings! What more could you want? My wife surprised me with a trip here for my birthday and I loved it. Yes, it was crowded. Yes it was hot in their warehouse. But who cares?! Unlimited free play on so many games of my youth! Everything was for sale and they also rent out games for parties/​etc. I had never thought about doing that, but after the great time I had, I am now definitely considering it!

I thought I have to check out after viewing on «Eye on LA» episode of fun things to do around Los Angeles. Couldn’t believe it has free play but it’s true. Royse the owner us super friendly, nice and welcoming.
I went with toddler son at about 930 am and crowd already there. It was a warehouse filled with different games. Classics: Ms. Pac-​man, Pac-​man, Dig Dug, Frogger, Zaxxon, Skee-​ball, Mortal Kombat, Street Fighter to a few. There were other racing and shooting games too. It was a little warm, but overall a good place to visit if your an arcade fanatic. How for free you ask? See flyer below. Also great idea for kids party and reasonable price. Have them deliver tonyou or just bring your own tables, chairs, food and your good to go (better value). Check em out and rent them for next company party!

Free arcade games on a Sat with my two boys? What’s not to love? Super fun!

I am so apprehensive in writing this review. When I love a business, I want them to be super successful; but that also means it is going to get more crowded. After getting here at about 1 PM on Saturday, the place was packed! Royce and the ladies at the front desk were all very friendly and personable. There is a small arrow sign to «point» you (see what I did there?) in the right direction for parking, which was ample.
So yes, confirmed. Free play all day from 9 – 4. There are snacks and popcorn available. It was a little war m because you are in a warehouse, with a lot of people creating body heat. Everyone was having fun, though only a few machines were empty. Wait your turn, you will get one, I promise!
The amount of nostalgia in this place is overwhelming. People of all ages will see something that they like or remember wasting quarters on as a kid. You want The Simpsons or X-​Men to relieve those Chuck E Cheese days? you got it. You want Galaga and Pacman to reminisce about greasy joysticks from the local pizza place or laundromat? It’s all there.
Definitely worth checking out. My company is also doing the subscription service and Royce is awesome at accommodating for your desired games. One of the best ways to conduct a team building exercise is to pick our favorite ninja turtle and take down Shredder, together.

I had seen this place online and decided to check it out. This company rents machines, in fact you can have a machine for a month for $ 100 and they will swap it out.
We went on a Saturday because I had read you can play for free. It was busy, but everyone there was nice and polite and taking turns. I really wanted to play skeeball and the young boy who was playing was nice enough to step aside and let me have a turn.
They have all kinds of games and I had so much fun! I would definitely renting games for a party!

Incredible! Only place in LA to do this like this. Homegrown. Down-​to-​earth. Kind. Fun. Family-​friendly. Very accessible. Couldn’t be a better way to get retro in 2015. Fantastic selection of vintage games to play FOR FREE EVERY SATURDAY!!! Yup. I highly recommend you go check this out for a few hours. You can even rent games for $ 100 a month to be delivered to your home! Way to go! I’ll be back, Royce! You’re a great dude and your staff is top-​notch! Thank you!

What a wonderful hidden gem.
I found this arcade warehouse thru Unilocal.I was looking for Arcades to take my niece and nephew too. Upon my search i encountered The Arcade Warehouse.
It is Located in Chatsworth, in the San Fernando Valley, among other warehouses and office spaces. You can easily pass by this place and not even notice it.
I saved this place and book marked to come to on a saturday. Why on a saturday you ask? Because on Saturdays the owner, Royce opens his arcade warehouse to the public and has free play from 9:00 — 4:00 p.m.
I came around 2:30 p.m. It was busy with kids and teenagers of all ages as well as grown ups.
Once inside I began to reminisce about all the games I played as a child. The warehouse has Mortal Kombat, Tekken 3, Mario Bros., Donkey Kong etc. etc.
You are also able to buy and rent the arcades or suggest any games you don’t see.
I wanted to say Thank you to the owner, Mr. Royce for such a cool place. Best of luck with your establishment. It made me feel like a kid again.

We went to this place today to have a little fun and try something new. The best thing about it, as everyone else states below, is that all the games are free all day on Saturday (9−4pm). To our surprise, it wasn’t crowded at all. I think this place isn’t recognized by many which means more games to play for you!
They also rent out their gaming cabinets for $ 100 per month! They can rent out their whole arcade for special events for $ 200 an hour. If I had a son, I would round up his posse and bring them all to this place. It’s just awesome.
On the way out I believe we ran into Royce himself. He noticed my boyfriend from a show they worked on together. So we know he used to work in entertainment and moved on to this business. Pretty cool. Nice guy.
Highly recommended!

So I decided to come here with my son last Week because I heard that they’re open to the public on Saturday and the arcades are free. So my son and I walk in and it’s just amazing, arcades from wall to wall with a bunch a classics to modern arcades. First thing I see when I turn to the right is a bloody roar machine and a street fighter ex plus. My sons never been to an arcade or at least not like the ones I use to go to but his eyes lit up .
This place took me back to when arcades were everywhere and all my favorite machines were there. I really wished they had more pinball machines cause I’m a pinball junky but it’s free so I can’t complain.
To end this review my son and I had a great time and we will be coming again cause it a great place to bring your kids if you’re on a budget. Also bring hand sanitizer cause you’ll need it.

I am always amazed at what I find. Did you know this place is like heaven for adults? All the games you played when you were a kid, like PAC man, Tetris, street fighter, etc. They have vintage arcade here too. They are open Monday through Friday. However, on Saturdays. They turn on all the machine and it’s free to play. It is awesome to keep hitting the continue button and you never die. Awesome! It’s like candy land but for arcade. We found this place on our 5^th year anniversary and spent a few hours here.
For those that want to take it home and play: you can either buy the arcade or rent any of them at $ 100 per month delivered, so you can change an arcade in your home every couple months.
There are just so many cool places in the Valley — this is definitely one of them.
