EASTER SUNDAY HOURS

Sunday,  4/20/25
Open from Noon to 10pm

I want to thank EVERYONE who has reached out to us since October 14th, when Steve posted to our Facebook page about the lack of business. Everyone who shared our post and the North Jersey News article by Lucas Frau. We were also featured on Ben Aaron's PIX11 Morning News segment, linked below.


Things are heading in the right direction again but we need to keep it going. If you, your business, school, YMCA or other organization wants to come early on a day we are scheduled to open at 5pm, Please email or call and we can schedule an early opening for you.

To anyone who wrote and I haven't responded, I've had so many emails and messages that I'm actually struggling to remember who I wrote to or called. I sincerely appreciate EVERY SINGLE ONE of you.

Thank you!
Billy Smith

No Quarters or Tokens Required!

Welcome to Billy's Midway! Our arcade is entirely time based. There are no pesky quarters or tokens required, because none of our games are pay-per-play. The entire arcade is set to free-play, so you and your family can enjoy as many games as you would like while only paying for the time you are here.

By request, we have added a prize crane that is set to "play until you win" and a gumball machine style pinball game that dispenses rubber balls; both of these are pay-to-play but you are guaranteed to win something with each play. The prize crane is currently set at $2 per play and is loaded with an assortment of stuffed toys. The pinball game is 25 cents and will dispense 1 ball after you play with it but you can win a second ball by hitting the marked target.

THE BEHIND THE SCENES

All of our games were locally acquired by Billy with the help of his wife, Allyson. They began their collection with the Ms. Pac-Man they received as a wedding present, and is now one of the over 100 games on our floor today! All of these classics have been gathered here for you to enjoy and are maintained by Billy himself.

We are focused on classic arcade games for nostalgic adults, not a modern "kids arcade".

Our classic video games are painstakingly maintained with CRT monitors as they were built, to maintain the correct nostalgic look without digital lag and backlight glow associated with LCDs.

Our pinball machines are lit by incandescent lamps, as they were built (with minor exceptions) so players with sensitivity to LED lighting can play in comfort with minimal risk of headaches and eye strain associated with LED flicker, color and brightness. Our owners understand and suffer badly from modern lighting.

​Our address is:
312 Lafayette Ave., Hawthorne, New Jersey 07506

Entrance is on the Diamond Bridge Ave. side; approximately located at 180 Diamond Bridge Ave. if using a GPS to locate us.

Look for our banner and signs on the doors.
We are on the second floor with both stairs and elevator access.
