I really didn't know that you guys were a non profit.

I don't see how they could turn a profit

Well thats always been my worry there, that one day they will close just like the many other fun centers that have been.
They do get some good business there though. I have been there when the place is really busy (especially the haloween event) although the crowds tend to be more on the lower levels at the bowling lanes, skeeballs and newer games.

I was at Great Wolf Lodge with my Wife and kids a couple of weeks ago, and they did have an arcade...  It was pretty big, but like most, it was filled with those skill/ticket games that you could purchase junk with.  I was very happy to see that they had a couple of classic games - the Pac Man/Galaga combo as well as the Donkey Kong/Jr. combo.  I did notice they had about 20 other games around, split between driving games and shoot 'em up games, but I didn't pump my tokens into them.  Since I haven't played the classic games on a real unit in probably over 10 years, I spent an hour playing Pac Man.

My Wife eventually had to drag me away, and remind me that we were there 'for the kids'.  (It didn't take much coaxing, really.  Fun times were had by all.)

This just opened up by me (Bloomington,IL) a month or two ago I think.  Planning on checking it out soon.  Looks to be a good start so far.
