The "new" Nickel City located on Miramar Road is outstanding. We enjoyed the previous location in Carmel Mountain, but the new location is much better. They have an expanded lounge complete with large bathrooms in the lobby (compared to a dark corner in the back at the old location), low walls to allow parents a complete view of the gaming floor and a more secure enter/exit location. They now have a full snack bar that serves drinks, candy, pretzels, popcorn, pizza, fries, nachos and more. Nickel City is family owned and operated and it is a joy to be with them while we are here. My favorite part is the free wifi; I can work on things I need to get done while allowing the kids a supervised time playing games, having fun and enjoying themselves. With admission being only $2.00 per person (those playing games) and games starting at one nickel, my children usually each go through a $5 bag of nickels in about an 1 1/2 hours. Fun, safe and reasonably priced.

I like the easy to use cards. Its $2.75 a person for entry. They still have approximately 15 games that you can use nickles. They also have a huge dinning area to eat their food. They have reasonably priced packages for entry, tokens, and food. They have pizza, soda, cotton candy, and more. I had a great time with my 2 kids. They have ticket prizes as well.

Pretty fun place. Cheap place to get the same amount of fun as Dave and busters. Play for the joy, not for the tickets or toys because it is hard to get tickets and the toys are bad. Try the table hockey it is super fun. Also the fishing wheel game near the back is one of the easiest ways to get tickets.

My son is 1 yr. old and we were looking for something fun to do. I remember going to the nickel arcade as a kid and they still have one in Carmel Mountain. He had fun he played games along with my 18 and 19 yr old siblings.

Closed Down - This place was lots of fun. We went today (7/11/14) and found the place locked up and the games all gone. EDIT: Just moved from the old Carmel Mountain Road location to Miramar.

Use to really enjoy this place when they actually used nickels, it was nostalgic and enjoyable for the parents, they however gave switched to a card which takes away grin the experience

This is a good place to take your children and let them play games. All of the games take nickels to play. They have mini boweling and food for when the kids need a snack.

This place is great if you want to reward your kid with a short playdate with mom or dad. They even have the old video games for free in the back.
