Always come me here when I come visit family in Front Royal. A lot of high quality games and machines. The whole family had a great time!

Awesome arcade right in the middle of Main Street Front Royal. 10$ admission for adults, 5$ for kids, unlimited all day play! You can leave and come back as long as you show your hand stamp upon reentry. Awesome games! Dance dance revolution! House of the Dead 2!! A whole wall of pinball machines. Games with 100s of game pages to choose from, literally could not find a better or more fair deal at any arcade. We have had multiple family game nights here and our group grows every time we come back! I can’t recommend this place enough.

A couple of the games were out of order but the guy was nice and it wasn't expensive. I didn't expect the place to be so small, but I understand there aren't a lot of things such as local arcades these days anymore. It's like they renovated the entrance of someone's house and put a bunch of games in it. Dance Revolution was fun.

What you would expect for a small, hometown used arcade. Prices are affordable for all day fun, $5/kid, $10/adult, and include unlimited play (no cost to play machines). Staff member was very friendly and helpful. Two restrooms, some seating available (upon request), and private party rentals. Several machines were out of order (which is pretty typical of any arcade game shop), but all in all, this a great place to hang out with the little kiddos (or big kiddos like yourself).

Spent a couple hours here enjoying the pinball and videogames. It was a good price for all you can play. Its located near restaurants and other stores so it's a great addition to any exploration day of Front Royal. If you love pac man, 90s fighting games or just a lover of pinball this is the place for you.

Love this place, very affordable. Plenty of games to keep kids entertained for a few hours.

Finding a genuine arcade these days is akin to stumbling across a unicorn. The blanket all-day, all-you-can-play admission fee is a bargain at $10 for what you get. As someone who travels long distances to visit arcades and locally owned retro game stores, I can’t recommend Fireball Arcade enough.

The space isn’t huge but it has a great mixture of game cabinets from mostly the 80s and 90s. I especially appreciated the addition of late 90s titles such as Marvel Vs Capcom and Street Fighter III: Double Impact. I find games from that era often get omitted at other retro arcades in lieu of almost exclusively “golden age” titles like Pac-Man and Galaga. Those 80s games are famous for a good reason, but all the same it’s nice that Fireball has a bit more variety. There’s other stuff such as a foosball table, ski ball lane, and TVs playing music videos from a few decades ago to complement the nostalgic vibe.

The guy who owns and operates the place is super chill. He obviously has a passion for acquiring these old machines and keeping them in good working order.

Check out the photos I added - most of the other photos associated with this place on Google were taken before the owner did a major renovation. The arcade only had a few machines in the beginning and looked a tad barren. Now the space is filled out and looks much cooler.

My daughter rented the place for my granddaughter’s birthday party. Lots of 80’s and 90’s arcade games. Family fun
