Hours, Pricing & Maps

Covid-19 Special Considerations:

Masks that cover mouth and nose required of everyone entering the building without exception and must remain covering your nose and mouth at all times; we respect your right to not wear a mask and hope we can welcome you back AFTER masks are no longer required. Until then, refusing to keep your mask on, covering your nose and mouth, will result in ejection without refund.

Application of hand sanitizer required of everyone entering the building without exception

Temperature check given upon entrance; access will be denied to anyone with a fever without exception; not feeling well, or have you been exposed? Please stay home.

Admission is required of all building entrants, playing or not. Everyone, including those who don’t intend to play or can’t really play (infants).

Generally speaking, arcade games are about 24″ wide. This means you’ll want to leave at least 2 games between you and someone you don’t know. Please be considerate of others and practice the common social distancing you’ve come to know and love – there’s plenty of room in here for all to remain together apart.

No appointment or reservation necessary; while capacity has been reduced, historically our attendance has not exceeded the figure allowed, so we do not anticipate any issue with your access to the arcade. That said, an unexpected rush is entirely possible and outside of our control. We sugget you don’t leave the arcade until you’re all finished for the day – if you leave, you may find upon return that we are at capacity, and will unfortunately not be able to re-admit you – so far this has NOT happened since we reopened in mid-June.

Fall Hours:

Monday-Friday 5pm – 11pm

Saturday-Sunday 12noon-11pm

If we’re empty at 9pm, we may elect to close early – but if you’re here to play, we’ll be here with you until as late as 11pm. These fall hours require no appointment – just show up and play! Want to get your game on a little early? Private openings starting at 3pm available by appointment with a six player minimum.

Admission for arcade entry:

$15 – unlimited play with limited re-entry on day of purchase

NEW: Re-entry on day of purchase may be limited as a result of capacity guidelines from new Covid-19 requirements. As long as you’re in the arcade, you’re good to go, but if you elect to leave the premises, you may be denied re-entry upon return if we are at capacity. (This has never happened – even BEFORE reduced Covid capacity.)

All arcades, pins, and consoles set out for play are included.

No outside food, beverage, candy or gum are permitted ANYWHERE in the Retrocade. Most places that offer refreshments for sale, like theaters and restaurants, will not allow you bring in your own; we regret that we too must maintain this policy. You are always welcome to leave, enjoy refreshments you brought with you in your car, and then return to play some more.

No alcohol is allowed at the Retrocade, but your admission always includes come and go access, so you’re just a few steps away from a wide range of drinking establishments! We focus on getting the games right, and leave the adult beverages to the excellent professionals just steps from our front door.

NEW: Admission is required of all entrants, playing or not.

Due to limited capacity from Covid-19 requirements, we no can no longer permit unpaid chaperones for children ages 9-14.

Your admission is non-transferable.

All children under 14 must be accompanied by an adult (age 21+) – no drop offs.

Children 8 and under must have a paid adult playing DIRECTLY with them.

Just to set clear expectations: NO, children under 8 are NOT FREE. In fact, and adult must also pay for entry and accompany the child. That’s $30 for the two of you. Ages 9-14 may play without a paid adult, but may not be in the arcade without an adult present, who does not have to pay, but may not pass the front counter without a paid entry; we have seating for you while you wait.

The Underground must insist on adequate adult (age 21+) supervision of children ages 8 and under; to support this goal, we require guests with these younger children to maintain a 1:1 adult to child ratio, especially for their child’s first visit; they will need both your help to learn how to play and your good example of how to treat these classic games. Children under 48″ tall will have difficulty reaching the controls. Arcade controls are not designed to support your child’s weight, so please do not allow them to hang from joysticks or steering wheels. We have a limited number of plastic step stools are available to raise your child safely to a height where they can see into the games.

Pinball for guests under 14 only with direct adult supervision. Please ensure your child, or any other player for that matter, does not:

flip the flippers in frustration or to hammer out a beat to the music,

tilt or shake the game to dislodge a stuck ball or to achieve a higher score,

use excessive force (ie: their full body weight) to pull the plunger out trying to get a faster ball launch, and most importantly:

abandon a running pin mid-game.

Your assistance will keep admission prices affordable and help to keep the games in top playing condition so all may enjoy.

We reserve the right to request proof of age for high school aged children not accompanied by an adult.
