The collection is huge: there are 2 levels of machines, both new and vintage, so there is something special for everyone.  So come on in and play for an  hour, half day or ALL DAY!  The beauty of our “re-entry passes” is that you can play, then leave and walk around “The Avenue” yet still come back in and play again.
