Flippers Convenience & Arcade

Our spring break getaway coincided with freezing cold weather so we were looking for things to do indoors. I found this place during an online search. It's completely unassuming as you pull in. It's in an old gas station and attached to a laundry mat. But it is a gem of a find. So many old school pin ball machines, and newer electronic games. We put $50 on a card and got 220 credits. Most games took 2-4 credits so the money lasted a while. We didn't eat while we were there but they did have a snack bar.

Great place to go and be a kid again! This Game room is an arcade for the young and old. We had all ages with us and everyone had a blast! The staff was not the friendliest but the food and games were what we came for. It is hidden and the sign says Flippers Laundry but they are separate and there is also a gas station. Don't be fooled it is a good time. Great mix of new and old technology and games.

Everything was great! Only 2 games were out of order. Nice and clean bathrooms. You do have to go to the cashier to reload and to order game credits due to the machines being out of order. There is a machine that allows you to check your balance and tickets. Tickets load right onto the cards and can be used for candy and toys. The staff at the registers were very quick to help and we didn't have to wait long. We will be going back. Highly recommend for the family or just a cool hang out spot for teens. Most games are 2-3 credits. $20 was plenty for one child to play all of the games they wanted. The pizza was very good as well!

If you're a pinball enthusiast, don't sleep on Flippers! They have sooooo many pinball games in great shape! Out of hundreds of machines, we only encountered 2-3 that were out of order. They also have classic arcade games and the newer games that the younger crowd likes.We've been passing this place to and from the OBX for years and finally popped in this year. From now on, it'll be a yearly stop both coming and going!

A magnificent pinball arcade! I've never seen so many games in a single place at once. Spoke with the operator for a few minutes and he seems like a decent guy. I wish we had a place like this near where I live!

I've driven past this gem for years without ever knowing the treasure inside! What a nice blast from the past. Pinball room was my favorite.. Only thing missing was the smell of cheap perfume and cigarettes 🤣 Good place for birthdays if you have small kids and live in the area.. We didn't stay and play, however, it was still fun just to walk around the inside and see all the old-school games. Will definitely stop back in, now I know it's here, next time we pass through. Thanks 😊

This arcade was awesome. $20 for tokens and played old school pinball for hours. They have skee ball, laser tag, a host of current video games and of course like 50 pinball games.There's a snack shop for hotdogs 🌭 pizza 🍕 and drinks with a place to sit down and eat.The facility was clean as well as the restrooms.Have a rainy day at the beach, take them to Flippers for a solid fun tine where your dollar goes further then mist places at the beach.5 * rating from me and I highly recommend!

$20 game card lasted almost an hour. Good prices for the games. Clean place, good spot to waste a few hours during the rain or super hot noon times. Laundromat next door and gas station. They also sell lotto beer other store items. Also they have SO many pinball machines!

Really fun place, and everything is about half the price of any other arcade. It's worth the trip if you're staying in Duck or something.

The Arcade was a lot of fun. My husband and I went there specifically for the Pinball Machines. They have an amazing collection.

You want to play some pinball? This is your spot. Vintage and brand new state of the art machines. Plenty to choose from.There are arcade games as well, but I wasn't there for them.

This place is often my boys choose when asked to pick a fun activity. They keep the arcade games updated + frequently add new ones. Also our favorite place to play laser tag

We were looking for a way to kill time on a rainy day and this is where we ended up.They have everything from vintage pinball to VR games. For $10, we had a blast playing games for 2hrs

This place absolutely rocks, they have games for kids and shooters but the real attraction for me is the insanely well priced and awesome pinball lineup, they have EVERY retro machine, and some I’ve never even heard of and I’ve been to every arcade within a 50 mile radius of my house. And I set two high scores, good luck beating themIt’s $5 for an hour$10 for two and $19 for all day passes can’t beat it

Cool little hidden gem down here at OBX area.The arcade is run pretty well (the machines actually work), fair price, and the laser tag is kinda small but fun. Friendly folks.The pinball rooms though....it's awesome! So many good games. From all different decades.

Absolutely love this place! Pinball heaven. Arcade is a money grab but the kids love it and it's not inordinately expensive. Their little kitchen is good. Pizza is as many toppings as you like all for the same price. And it was good. It's a bit hectic in there but a great hidden gem that I think is becoming much more popular and well known the past few years

One of the most eclectic places you'll ever run across!! Gas station plus laser tag, game room (a la Chuck E. Cheese), and a TON of great pinball machines from every era!

The arcade was great; however, there was a miscommunication with a party and an employee was extremely rude and made sure we had issues with our stay. I love the place but because the rudeness i won’t be returning.

If you love pinball, this is the place to go. They have over 70 machines. Really old stuff and all the new Stern machines. Something for everyone.

We loved the games but the staff was rude both times we went. They seemed annoyed and made us feel like we weren't welcome. Why?

This place is amazing. If you’re a pinball fan this place will blow you away. Such a good selection of games new to old. Crazy collection of LE games. Prices are great. No free play per hour type thing. Go visit.

Always a fun lift of spirits on the way home from the beach. I even wrote a column about it. Love the vintage pinball machines.

I was so impressed with this place! It is a lot bigger than it looks. Don't forget to check out their Amazing pin ball machines in great condition. If you go even further back, you will fall in love with the classis arcade games you may have grown up with. This was priced great and my family had a blast. The employees there were absolutely kind hearted and so sweet to everyone.

They have ripped me off of my money the fact they only do cash and the sign of “no change” didn’t help due to the fact it was small and hidden, I put $20 for a $10 game card and I expected my $10 back and ask the owner but damn she was rude to me about it. I am not from NC and I’m just visiting yet gave me a bad first impression. Only thing nice was the iconic games they had in the back. I want my $10 back. This is a big scam when only the atm gives increments of $20 and it is very suspicious that a machine in arcade doesn’t take card and doesn’t give change back.

Not a friendly environment. They only got a star because I had to give one. But the young lady at the front was kinda nice and the young male was nice. But let’s talk about the old lady who is the “manager” I went to this establishment tonight to play some games to get my cousin a toy. At 8 o’clock there was multiple people playing games but the old lady told only us we needed to leave by 830. I checked the website and they closed at 9 but I ignored it and kept playing. 815 hits and she looks at me and says the games stop at 830. We walked to the back to play the jackpot so we can get fast tickets and noticed there was at least 4 to 5 people in the place that this lady did not speak to. Worst experience I have ever had in here. I use to love playing games with my cousin but this old lady made me rethink coming to this establishment.

Overall this place is so much fun! The games are great! Fun for the entire family. The pizza is even delicious. But some of the employees could use some customer service training. We have been 2 times and we have had a unpleasant encounter with the same employee both times.

WE LOVE FLIPPERS!!! Our family found this gem on a rainy day back in 2018. It is now a tradition that we stop in and play every single year. Our kids love it and we love all playing the games together. They have so many pinball machines too! It's awesome!!
