User Reviews for Nickelcade

So I just went to Nickelcade for some "Cheap fun" but the service there is just as cheap as the games. but later after spending a little money my cup full of nickels was empty so i threw the empty cup at one of the teenagers slacking off while talking to a friend/girlfriend when i was forced to leave. and apparently they told ALL the employees and ALL the regular customers not to throw the cups. I have not heard a word on the issue and without warning kicked out. On top of the lazy teenage employees they also have HUNDREDS of games... Sounds good right? too bad over half of them are broken, trashed, and badly worn. Sure if your 7 years old everything seems great. but in reality the place is messy, out-dated, and run by underage dis-respectful teenagers. But out of all honesty there are better places to throw birthday parties and do hope you can find an alternative then this arcade.

Pros: Cheap

Cons: Outdated/Broken machines ,Terrible customer satisfaction

I like the cleanliness and appearance of the Nickelcade in Sandy, but most of all, the rates. It's nice to know that there are still those family places that provides extremely affordable, but FUN entertainment of video games: there are a few older games that this establishment allows to be played for FREE. That's wonderful! With this economy as it is, parents and kids (I've seen college kids in this establishment), can enjoy their time away from reality if only for a couple or few hours. I'm guilty of playing the games myself because each one is just a NICKEL to play, after paying $2.25 for entrance! I really like it: affordable, clean, well-stocked with prizes, accommodating, birthday party rooms, AND, having a police substation two doors away is a peace of mind! =)

Cons: Perhaps an expansion of the place, itself, to allow even more video games, maybe?

They just opend a pc gaming room and if you bring a laptop with a wireless connection, you can surf the net there for free. Pc gaming is $2.00 an hour but you get a discount if you pay for 3 hours at a time. It also saves any unused time so you can leave and come back

Pros: Lots to do for a low cost

Cons: Can get a bit loud but it's bound to happen in that enviornment

This was easily the best value and most fun I've ever gotten with a kids birthday party! $35 got me 7 kids & 4 adult admissions, a GREAT birthday cake (quality, not some crappy little thing), 40 nickels for each kid, party hats & blowers and goodie bags that kept the kids entertained from Redwood to Magna and then up to Heber. No cleaning, no worry, no big expense and they all LOVED the games. I can't say enough about what a GREAT deal it was. And my kids were all girls between the ages of 4-11.

Pros: Inexpensive, Entertaining, Excellent staff

Cons: , loud, only 2 locations
