Upon entering, I wasn’t any more blown away by this arcade than the next. That was until I wandered to the back and happened upon the old-style shooting gallery. For the fond memories that it had evoked from my childhood, I’d give this 5-stars. For the fact that it’s no more ordinary nor special than the next arcade, I give it what I feel it should be, and that’s a 3.

We have a lot of fun at this arcade. There are a decent amount of games to choose from for all ages. I am always pleasantly surprised that we get a decent number of tickets and go home with a few decent prizes for the kids. The lines can get really long to pick your prizes, so know how many tickets you have and what prizes you want before you get someone’s attention. It will save you a lot of time! Their staff is friendly and there is always someone around if there is a problem with a game or tickets. Machines are always in good working condition. Going by the map, this is actually across the street near Shepherd’s park, not on the same side as the lake and park. We are locals and go here several times a season.

Very busy arcade a bit dated but so is the area. Every year we come here to burn money and walk out with a useless toy. kids have fun and the staff is pretty good

Concur with previous reviews. This is the worst out of the three arcades in the area. It’s really worn and grimy and a lot of the games are broken. Skeeball machine had several lanes missing balls. We asked once since there a staff member right there and he said — did one of your balls go into another lane half accusingly and begrudgingly got another ball. Some of the games are overpriced vs other arcades. While there are a few games that they didn’t seem to have at other arcades that were especially geared towards younger kids, ie the«whack a mole» type games they weren’t working properly anyway. The gators didn’t register when being hit or were not coming out fully but registering as being hit anyway. The whackers were sticky and duck taped all over and the moles/dogs plastic were cracked and split. For the normal arcade games Funarama across from the visitor center and next to he carousel and bumper cars and boats was much better. Less crowded. More working games and helpful staff when there are problems. I think it’s less busy since it is a bit hidden behind a pizza place and the rides; there isn’t a big store front like the other two arcades(playland and funworld) but they have arcade signs you can see with a narrow entryway with games that opens up to the main arcade within.

Okay, so I mean basically an arcade is an arcade but here are this ones ridiculous downfalls: 1. the quarter machine gave us back 75 cents for a dollar. Although it had been working perfectly before(we just shrugged that off… until…) 2. We tried to play skee ball but not just one but BOTH of the ones we tried to play didn’t have all 9 balls. I got 8 and his got 4. umm… how does that even happen? 3. for 15 tickets I could have gotten a COMB or a plastic flip flop. Who uses combs? really? I’d enjoy an eraser or something. 4. The air hockey isn’t on a timer, its just best of 5. LAME. Would not be returning here. I mean I guess if you don’t care about skee ball, exact change, and have a lot of tickets maybe it wouldn’t be bad. But no thanks.

After driving 4 hours to lake George we got here after midnight and bought my 11 year old son an ice cream cone. and he wanted to play video games. so we walked into playland. Almost immediately, a 16 year old tough guy in a blue shirt walks up to my son(not me) and puts his finger in my sons face, saying«you gotta get outta here with the food» totally scaring my son. I told the kid to calm down, we didn’t see any signs(there weren’t any, I checked later) and he says«whatever, get the fuck out». Some attitude when there are 2 other arcades offering the same video games within a blocks walk away. STAYAWAY.
