Step back in time. One of my favorite spots. Take a look at their website. Here's a quote:

Just a half mile down the block, you'll find this gem! Several of guests have mentioned having a fabulous time there. Their website bills it as "a whimsical destination of amusements and entertainment featuring indoor mini golf, vintage pinball and arcade games." We haven't been there, but it sure sounds fun!
