Disappointed! The older machines are neglected. Tales of the crypt (which is for sale), top right flipper doesn't retract fully and shoots very weak (buyer beware), Adams family, some lighting on upper playfield doesn't work, making it hard to see at night. Super Mario brothers swallowed $4 (or equivalent in tokens) dropped first ball of each 2 players, with no flippers working, then reverted to a 1 player mode, so got 2 functional balls for $4 (therefore major electrical problems there). Newer machines seemed to work OK but showing signs of wear (suggest a good wax and clean of playfields), Tried VR pinball, confusing to use, hard to see ball, backboard screen not functioning and nudge sensor didn't seem responsive.

Seems like the attendant hides out the back because he doesn't want to deal with the malfunctioning machines, or "make good" on people's bad games experiences. We left, feeling ripped off cheated and disappointed (kinda like flying Jetstar!).

As an experienced pinball player who spends at least 3 hours per week on "arcade time", sadly it won't be at this arcade. Instead, a growing group of mates, drive 100 kilometre round trip to Nambour every week for our pinball fix. Sorry Arcade Box, it's a no from me/us.

A nice little arcade shop in Coolum I visited on Sunday 21 of may retro, modern games and a nice collection of skateboards for sale only con is I’ve kept tripping over a dog that was in here thought dogs weren’t allowed in shops?

Honestly it's so cute and small and you get a fair amount of bang for your buck. Theres a air hockey board and lots of pinball and arcade machines which will keep you entertained for a couple of hours at least. Loved it: D wished there was a little more variety

Had so much fun playing all the pinball machines, especially my personal favourite the Addams family pinball, plenty of machines to chose from plus their set to using tokens, reminds me of how arcades used to be only using coins and the excitement you get we you find a free coin. Great atmosphere & lovely service, highly recommend heading down & checking this place out!

Any pinball arcade that offers the Addams Family will always get me in! Convenient token machine, nice selection of pinballs and other vintage games make for a varied experienced. I noticed the staff member on board last Saturday was really helpful and welcoming-thanks for the great customer service. A fun place to spend an arvo!

Thanks Arcade Box so much for providing such a fun experience for our group of 8-12 year olds on Saturday. They had a really fun time and loved the games. Will be back again for sure.
Great location, lovely staff and really nice to do something different.

This place has pinball and video games co-located in a skate shop. All games are token drop. Games range from a selection of the latest Stern games to some older Gottlieb titles and even a No Fear. Worth checking out if you're in the area.

I was expecting more pinball machines as per the photos, the classics were a little old and dull.

A very unexpected but welcome surprise, an oldschool arcade with pinball machines and arcade games plus an oldschool skateboard shop, which also stocks current Australian skate brands, they're selling collectible decks and all the hardware you can ask for.

Some of the games weren't working but there is a decent range of games to play still and great fun for the kids, also awesome staff who brought out free chocolates for the kids so they had a ball
