Tokyo Station by Free Play

Tokyo Station in Arlington is such a cool spot. It’s a fun arcade with a great mix of games that actually keeps you entertained instead of feeling outdated. The bar area is a nice bonus with solid drinks that make it just as enjoyable for adults as it is for kids. It’s an easy place to hang out with family or friends and lose track of time in the best way. The Japanese candies and soda pops are a really nice touch and make the whole experience feel different from a regular arcade. Chill vibe, fun energy, and definitely a place I’d come back to again.

This place is so much fun and the workers are so nice and chill. Games are super engaging that i forgot abt my school work. Will definitely be coming back! This is a good place to release your stress and have fun with friends!

With the oversaturation of arcades in the DFW area, Free Play Tokyo Station distinguishes itself by being an authentic slice of what you would find at a Japanese Arcade. Kudos for an original, well executed concept! Being to Japan on more than one occasion, I can say Tokyo Station is truly a gem for the DFW area featuring authentic Japanese Arcade staples like gatcha machines, UFO catchers, and of course an entire area dedicated to Arcade games all operating on real hardware! They have some very rare games too such as Magical Cat Adventure which I enjoyed playing through. If all of the fun gets you hungry, they also have imported Japanese drinks, snacks, and a build your own Ramen bar. I'm grateful for the innovation and passion brought in by Free Play. Thanks for all the fun!

I give it two stars for the unique theme but only one star for feeling of being duped. The website is so unclear. Unlike their competitor (you know who) they do not have a soda fountain with free refills nor do they even state that on the website. Secondly I get having to pay for prize themed games but the only reason I wanted to come is to play pinball. Well scratch that you have to pay extra to play pinball. I was finally able to find by digging around the website that pinball has an extra cost Sadly I was only able to find it after paying admission. I’m currently still here making this review as I sit in the pay to play section. Listen a business can do as they please but not really being clear and concise on the website I wasted $11.49. There’s a reason this place is so dead on a weekend. However This place is awesome if you don’t know any better. So come at your own risk. However I absolutely will never be back. Just look how busy they are. 😆

This place was really cool. Crane machines,candycades,arcade machines and pinball, I did need to purchase a play card for the games. Decent beer selection.

Ugg... might as well go to Dave and Busters. There are still quite a few free games (no pinball game is free anymore), but now there is also a lot of skill/prize games for a cost. Most of the free play games are in Japanese so it makes figuring out how to play the game fairly difficult. Also, multiple staff members told me there is no way to combine cards. So I have multiple cards at the end of a family event (kids dont share) that have 8-11 credits and none of them can be combined . And to make it worse I had to pay $1 per card before even getting the joy of not being able to combine them at the end. I can either throw them away or add more credits to them. Food selection now is all Ramen. Most of the bar selection has something to do with sake. My son, my wife and I are all saddened by this. Best of luck to your business.

Great place, fun staff. Neat concept with great murals. Easy to meet up with others. 1st time here. Bar available for adults. $8 Pizza on Mondays was appreciated on budget! Lots of other specials during weekday. Took my son for birthday.
