Expensive rip off
April 18, 2014You purchase tokens to "play" games. Actually it is a card you swipe and based on the cost of the games your credits a are deducted. On the day we went many of the games were not functioning properly but no out of order signs. I brought this to the attendants attention and his reply was "play something else." There... more

Fun for everyone
April 12, 2014
We were there on a rainy Monday and they (similar to what someone else has said) had a "Monday Special" on for 5 things for $15 per person. There was a $1 off coupon in the book you can pick up in Clifton Hill.
Three of the five activities (Lazer Maze, Cannon Blasters and Time Freak) were really fast activities....

Laser tag and mini putt were the best
April 06, 2014Went on a Friday so there was a special on. You could do 5 things for 15 dollars per person. Honestly, 3 out of the 5 things were garbage. Maybe for the younger crowd. The one where you have to push buttons on a wall as they light up only lasted for 60 seconds. The worst bang for buck ever.... more

March 29, 2014We had a few free vouchers for the hotel, but the lady at the front desk said they had a better deal. We got glow mini golf, laser tag, later maze, time freak and cannon blaster a for a family of 4 for $30. Don't know if that was a better deal, but it was worth the price. We were... more

A Good Time Had By All
March 20, 2014I visited Captain Jack's with my family over the March break and we had a blast! I have a 10 and 7 year old and I can honestly say there was something for everyone. We played mini golf and laser tag as a family and then split up to enjoy the arcade games. We spent a good 4-5 hours playing... more

Free game room tickets
March 09, 2014For $2.00 we got $50.00 game dollars from our hotel Four Points. If you had any issues with a game just ask someone and help came right away. Plenty to do at this game room

Fun gaming, and good food
March 02, 2014I loved this place! Our hotel gave us a package, where we get gaming cards to use. Of course, we used those, and then some. The games were a great value, and Captain Jack's even matches your food purchases w/ gaming cards. We were there for hours and had so much fun! They had an open faced steak and cheese... more

Horrible! Stay AWAY and save your
March 02, 2014We visited here on a Friday night only because there was a voucher included with our Hotel package that included $50 of credits and free passes to two of their indoor games which we didn't partake in. There was supposed to be a $2 card activation fee that wasn't included, but we were fine with paying that and it was... more

Take the kids for some fun
February 28, 2014This is an arcade and the kids would love it (adults would enjoy but probably not admit it!)There are several floors of games. Looks like a safe place for the kids, Right in the heart of Niagara Falls Canada. If you are looking for a fun place where the kids can run around playing games, this location would be fine.

Good service
February 26, 2014We had lunch while letting the kids play the arcade games. Our waitress/bartender did a great job taking care of us. Food was ok. Games are pretty expensive and prizes are junky but kids had fun.

Fun games-cheap prizes
February 24, 2014
We spent 2 days and had $400 worth of cards. The mini putt was fun and my husband and daughter enjoyed the laser tag they threw in for free. Staff was nice and came to help within a few minutes if the game ran out of tickets.
Games were fun and overall we really enjoyed ourselves. The only thing I...

More Cheesy C@!P on Clifton Hill

Even adults had a great time
February 08, 2014Obviously, it's an arcade. For children. But my husband and I had a good 2 hours of fun playing air hockey, trivia, driving cars, etc. Having a bar on site is a great way to spend your adult afternoon in an arcade!

Decent value
February 02, 2014We only went here because there was a good gaming credit included in a promotion at the hotel where we stayed. We received $100 in gaming credits, plus passes to two of the additional attractions (Time Freak and Cannonball Blasters). $100 gets you 750 tokens, which isn't bad considering most games require 3-6 credits for each play. The additional attractions... more

Interesting Little Place
January 27, 2014
Their mini-golf is more aimed for children than say, a family with teens, but there were some neat places to take photos (cut out figures, etc.)
The food at the restaurant was lousy, but the beer was cold and that was what we really wanted!
There were a few pool tables and arcade games and if we'd had the extra...

Games were fun
January 21, 2014Playing the games was the best part of what we did there. We spent hours there and got more for redemption than at the midway. The only disappointment was that when we went upstairs wanting to eat, the kitchen was closed. They never told us at all.

This was our first time at Captain Jacks. On the google map it still shows up as a Dave &Busters so not sure how long its been since management switched over.

Average
January 04, 2014The arcade was clean and most of the games were in good working order. I was not impressed how I had a wagjag to redeem and the two teenage girls at the counter argued among themselves about which of them had to redeem it for me. They appeared very bored and did not make eye contact with me whatsoever.

Ok if you have free vouchers
January 01, 2014We received $50 in free vouchers with our hotel package. It took us quite some time to go through the $50, believe it or not. It is just your typical ticket games, where you accumulate them and exchange them for prizes. It was fun earning the tickets on all the games. The prizes were very minimal, however.

Captain Jack's Pirate Cove deserve a 3.5/5 but there's no .5 options available on TripAdvisor.

Good fun, esp. w/ a Groupon
September 16, 2013Dropped in for some fun and we had a good time - our 6 yr old daughter loved it and had a great time. Game choice is a little limited, but for an evening or 2, it's hard to beat, esp. for $39 (and we still have a credit on our play card)

Pirate's Cove Joke
July 28, 2013Well, this was previously Dave and Busters but must have recently closed and reopened as Pirates Cove. pretty disappointing. The only reason it was worthwhile is because we had a Groupon to receive $100 game play card for $39. We did get a lot of play out of it, but Manager was RUDE and a lot of games weren't working.... more

Let me start off by saying that the food was fine, nothing fancy, but good enough for a fairly inexpensive restaurant. I didn't purchase the eat and play combo because I had already been to an arcade earlier.
