The District Reviews

Wristband prices are a little pricey. I wish they could offer a lower price for a time limit perhaps.

All day play for one low price and there's no counting tickets for silly, cheap prizes?!? Count me in! $15 for adults and $12 for children with Mondays & Tuesdays being 1/2 price days. Small snacks, candy and beverages are available for purchase, but they do not have a food menu which was a bit disappointing. Staff was friendly, bathrooms were super clean.

This place is sooooo fun i would never leave and has great games to play and by

So much more than we expected! The hour and a half drive was well worth it!!

It was so awesome! I don't even know how many hours we spent here but it's unlimited play time for 15 dollars. The owner and staff were super friendly. Food was delicious and they had an upstairs where you can just sit and play board games that they have ready for you to grab for hours. Definitely will be coming back here!!

Not really much of a card shop, more of an arcade. Great arcade though. Sell great video games & collectibles.

Great selection of games, cards, sodas, and a classic arcade, along with food service. Upstairs has plenty of tables for card flopping, RPing, and tabletop war gaming. Pretty relaxed atmosphere, definitely one of my favourite places in town!

Awesome game selection, beautiful arcade cabinets. Hit this up if you have the time. Great way to burn an afternoon.

This place is the shin izle, you want your kids to feel safe by all means yes, for all you pinball Wizards please come and shake the machines, food, beverages I would give this place 100 Stars! But I can only get 5

An awesome place to play old school arcade games and price is not bad because it is unlimited play for the day. I will be back again real soon.

Great place lots of old school games. Fun for all ages

This place has everything. Great line-up of old school arcade games and modern pinball. All machines are clean and error free. They also have tabletop gaming events and sell cards and miniatures. $15 admission armband gets you access to everything, no quarters needed. They also have a great selection of gourmet sodas and a snack bar. Family-friendly, great staff, and beautiful space. They even have a Guitar Hero studio and a VR setup!

I like it. Great place to feel nostalgic if you remember arcades and good place to waste time.

The greatest place to relive that old arcade feeling and more! It's always a must stop for our family.

Love this place! I drive over 200 miles round trip once a month to go here! Awesome games food! Very nostalgic!

Best variety of games. Have a separate room dedicated to old school games. Not from around here, was waiting before I had to go to a wedding, I had a few hours to waste. Before I knew it I was running late for the wedding because time flew by from how much fun I had here.

I've been here a couple of times now. I enjoy it. Plenty of diversions.

The district is a fun, family atmosphere with board games that you can play for free. I love the arcade games (especially the 4 player pac man). The pop selection is great, and the staff is always very helpful and friendly. A true Eau Claire gem.

Super awesome place. Great games, food, and people. Very friendly and welcoming.

Fun. Got the all day pass. Toured downtown, ate out. Came back for more.

Many free board games to play. The building is clean and very nice.

Whether you're going in for a day of playing magic, Pokemon or force of will or whether you just want to hang out and play some video games, the district is the place to go. Not to mention that it's probably the only place within a hundred miles that has the selection of drinks it has.. I LOVE that blue and purple gamergy!

Family friendly and all around good atmosphere. Recommended

I thought it was a cool place you don t many of these games like I used to play at Aladdin s in Oakwood Mall, London Square Mall, Mall Of America, Valleyfair, 6-Flags, Minnesota State Fairgrounds, those games are disappearing so it s good to see these games & it s locally as well!!!

Very friendly atmosphere, family oriented as well. Great selection of food/beverages and GREAT games!

I visited there the day before to check what kind of games that they have and they have forza setup that I like and lots of fun 2 player arcades. It was great time and Christopher helped us to settle in and feel welcomed to play there any time. The next day I went and starting to play. I took someone to play forza with me since I have a PC setup at home and wanted to do a local multiplayer, and this place seems to be the answer.

Environment : It was laid back, welcoming, and pretty much friendly, Great food options, and drinks and overall friendly customer service.

Arcades : Most of the games works and it is awesome. I had lots of fun playing there. Some of the games are not working their best but so many kind of variety. Overall, amazing experience. Price wise, I think it is quite good to be in and out for $15 for the whole day deal.

Forza : They do work when you know well about xbox and how their system and buttons work in the steering wheel. I purchased 1 hour and had to figure out the system for about ~30 minutes before me and my friend played. Now here's why I gave 3 stars.

Local Multiplayer Forza is why i came here primarily for. I asked for some help because the pedals are not working, moved to another station, no big deal. Then I tried to figure out how to invite the other system, there's almost no instruction how to do so and no one asked if we know how to work around the system. Overall we played about 15 minutes on 3 races.

I took a break and played back in the arcade, when I ask how much time was left . it was 15 minutes left. so before we left I figured I will play one more or two more races with my friend. So my friend sit back where he was playing before, and I told the employee that I started racing again for the last 15 minutes. He said, ok and I was wondering, " OK, so do i just go ahead and play? or what is going on? ". I asked and he said it is. I went back to the station and someone else is using the station I played before. " Oh well, they are customer too, I'll just use station next to it", I thought to myself. I went ahead and sit, and volume was muted and I was confused. by that point, I'm pretty sure that the timer that he set already started. I am tired after playing the whole day so I just decided to stop playing and me and my friend left the place. The staff was kind enough to give us a gift card so we can use it the next time that we play there (15 min of racing worth of gift card).

Overall Experience : I do believe that this place is great for everyone in any age to enjoy different set of video games, from the classic 80s-2010s arcade system to VR (Not tried yet). The place is laid back, everyone is friendly, Food was amazing. HOWEVER, needs more staff, I do think that if you put a premium price for forza, you guys need to made sure that everyone that plays them understand what is going on, how to connect to each other, make sure that game was set and good to go, systems are working, how to use the controllers and ask questions before starting the timer. Timer should start when everyone is starting to enjoy the entertainment, not while trying to figure out how to work with the system. Everyone has different level of learning and knowledge about xbox system, and not to mention steering wheel controls. as it is currently stands, it is really hard for me to recommend anyone that never played xbox or pc to even try the racing game. The timer will be over before anyone even tried to play.

A good place for the whole family to nerd out. They even have old school games for us old school dads.

It was such an awesome time!! I'll definitely be back again, and again and again!!!

Didn't know this place existed! Its awesome!! Old and new games, good variety!!

Fantastic place for gamers of all types. Reasonable price to play all day. Good Americana menu. Great friendly staff. I've taken my kids there many times.

Wrong, I was next door at ironside axe throwing that was excellent!

This place is amazing for all kinds of nerds. If you're into any kind of card games, board games, video games, pretty much any kind of game, you'll find other nerds of your kind there!! It's so friendly and inviting, very well put together, and the tournament scene is fantastic!!

I believe hospitality goes along way.The owner I believe or person in charge greeted us and walked us through everything. We enjoyed ourselves as much as the kids did.We wI'll come back it's worth the drive!!

Was fun, lots of old time games for old timers like me. I guess if I was a student it would be great fun(and cheaper than drinking). Owners were friendly and helpful, even got the nickle tour.

Best place in Eau Claire to hang out with like minded kind nerds, play some arcade, get Gamergy and enter the gaming community :)

Great place. Great games. And as an added bonus they have food!

This place seems fantastic. We just stopped in to check it out and buy a retro game, but didn't stick around to play games. After having seen the place, we will definitely be back to take advantage of all the great arcade and pinball games.

Came back to say we actually checked it out. It's a whole lot of fun and really worth the price. We had a great time, and we'll be back for sure.

Love this place! FREE console gaming all day. Of course if someone wants to pay to reserve it, it's all yours! No place like it that I've seen.

The staff are happy to teach you how to play the FREE board games and will help you find the Magic, Pokemon, FOW, etc... That you're looking for.

Great for the community, so thankful Eau Claire has such a great place for social gaming and hanging out with friends... No purchase necessary :)

Thank you District Company!!!

We took a group of kids here from our summer program and they loved it! We stayed for two hours and there was a great variety of games to play, friendly staff, and the owner was very accomodating and generous to our group! It has been our kids' favorite field trip of the summer! We look forward to stopping in again! Thank you Eau Claire Games and Arcade!

Awesome, unique place! Free games with rotating games with tutorials, large glass soda selection and friendly atmosphere. Fabulous for families and groups.

This place is great,takes me back to the Good ole days

We came here for a birthday party and I have to say, what a cool place to do a party. We all had such a fun time playing a big variety of games like pinball, air hockey, racing games, and old arcade cabinets. Plus we had the place all to ourselves. What a good party!

Spent my 29th birthday here! Haha and it was great!! Can only think of one game that didn't work. We had a big group with all ages and everyone enjoyed it!!

This is a great place to go. It is going to be a great time for the kids. As a kid myself, I LOVED it there. There was something for everyone to do. I would definitely drop by and check it out if you can

Went there on sat night at 7. We got the weekly rate because they were closing in 2 hours. Plenty of games to pla . Had a great time, even my 2 y.o had a blast! We will be going back for sure!

What a cool place. 1st time there & it was way fun. Super cool Metallica pinball

Went to play some board games with a small group from work, pretty good cheese curds, get "clue"!

Lots of fun games and old school arcading system while also letting you use some pretty cool stuff like a psvr

A wonderful selection of games to play and buy. The 15 dollar charge is great if you stay all day but if you plan to go for an hour or so it's a little over priced

Super nice people. Not very big, but the kids had fun and decent price for the entertainment.

This arcade was awesome! A $15 wristband gets you a full day of gaming. A whole room of eighties games. No Dig Dug. A nice variety of pinball. I was there for 3 hours and that's all I got to. There were so many more games I didn't even look at! They had tables for Magic and D&D upstairs. Their board games could all be found at discount chain stores. Awesome birthday deal and slushies.

Friendly, knowledgeable staff and vast variety of games from the 80s through to the present. WARHAMMER!

The nostalgia in there is amazing!! Loved it plus not badly priced :)

This place was super fun. It'd be awesome of they served "adult" drinks.

70's, 80's, 90's arcade games, pinball, VR, and tabletop gaming. Buy and sell used games and consoles.
All you can play pinball and arcade games for $15/day. They have a number of different sections.
70s and 80's gaming room with the classics such as Frogger, Donkey Kong, Joust, Double Dragon, etc...
Pinball and 90's area - This area has 90's stand up arcade game and a wall of pinball machines.
Upstairs - tables for a variety of games, Pokemon, Magic, board games, Risk, ect.
They also sell used games/consoles and other merch.

Wide variety of all decades of games from 80 to simulators. Very nice staff. All games work not one of those places where half the games are broken half the time.

Used games and systems, small arcade, drinks and small selection of food.

My son and husband love this place brings back memories for my husband and making new ones for my son

Tim Sexton is the owner. A wonderful man. Had him for psychology in college. We needed an arcade for Eau Claire Wisconsin for a long time. This is the only one in town. Also, for your money well worth it. Highly recommend this establishment for all your gaming experiences. Thank you Tim.

I REALLY liked it because I got to do things free ( we know the owner ) but I recommend going there!

Fun place to hang out, explore hobbies, and drink soda

Great environment, originally I was discontent with the change, but I've come to like it a lot. I had my birthday here, and I'm enjoying the new VR here.

Pretty awesome place! Just what e.c. needed! Recommend!

This is the spot! 15 bucks, all you can game. Come and go as you please, all day after initial payment. That 15 bucks is it. All games are free to play, for as long as you like. Very impressed with their content here. Their pinball machines are on point. They have at least 3 pinball machines that are in every online critics top 10. "Attack from Mars" ($8.5k)"AC/DC"($7.5k) and the number 1, or sometimes the number 2 on every list "The Adams Family"($10k). Very impressed with the friendly staff, and the "please make yourself at home" environment. Spoke extensively with the owner. He says that business couldn't be better, and this is only 1 of three successful locations. They are growing with this very simple business model, and I hope that others follow this example. Why? Because I'd love to have something like this near my home town. Can't wait to go back today, for my 3rd consecutive visit!

It was horrible the room with the console's were reserved they got in free and I asked how much they said 30 bucks for 4 hours that's ridiculous until they lower the price I might not come back 2/5 stars not amused

Very inviting and my 8 year old daughter loves this place too. It s our favorite spot to come as a family. The owner Tim Sexton is a great guy. I had him as my Psychology Professor in college. I always recommend this place for people gather and have fun. Will be back for more games and play the arcade.

Got to play some great games, had plenty of good ones for sale, definitely going back again!

This place is amazing, great customer service and the staff members are really nice and very helpful. Also the arcade is pretty cool with a lot of the old style games there, the warhammer community really broke my anti social shell apart and I'm happy about that I've been making friends there and sometimes i meet old friends there it's quite nice. And there's plenty to look at there from magic to yu-gi-oh, also d&d things are there too. Also a great place to bring your family too. Almost always there

This my first time ever here, and I have to say, it's more than jist awesome and fun; It's phenomenal! The pinball machines and arcade games are the best! I would definitely pay my own money to go again and highly suggest anyone to go anyone!

Owner and staff were helpful and friendly. Facility was immaculately clean.

Great place to hangout and play games. Unique selection. Knowledgeable staff. Frequently donate to community events. Nice store to support.

I love this place every time i go they are so freindly. Tom the owner is always there and talks with customers and is freindly and chriss it in charge of up stairs and he is the best

This place is open today at noon. I just spoke with staff and got our wristbands so game on! They have added an air hockey table now too! They are relocated on London Rd right next to Olympic Flame.

Amazing time for great prices, relaxing, fun, and you could spend all day there

Blast from the Past! We spent the afternoon here immersed in video games. There is a great selection and no quarters are needed. One fee covers your visit.

There are a number of pinball machines, Pac Man, Galaga all the greats. There is also a snack bar and some table games.

Look forward to visiting again.

The older location was smaller but had a wider variety of games. This building is nicer and much bigger but there are less games for some reason...

Awesome place to hangout meet new people remminac and duel

FUN! Lots of video games! Plus a nice selection of pinballs. Good place for kids! I always see a bunch of kids and adults upstairs playing different board games. I have used the PS4 virtual gear and it is another fun thing to do at this arcade. They also have a great selection of soda pop. Lots of different kinds. If you feel the urge, you can also buy arcade related toys, games and art. Overall a very fun place to hang out for a couple hours!!!

If you ever want to relive the 80's, this is the place to do it

Had an awesome birthday for my son. Very nice staff, clean area and plenty of arcade games to choose from.
