Hi, Pennsylvania neighbor! Admittedly, I've not been to The Works but I'm on their website right now and it looks amazing!

Here's the deal with Arnold's. The place is massive and weekend nights are really when it gets fun for adults. They have a full bar and restaurant on the bowling side of the building (the lanes aren't great, definitely not league quality). They have live bands on the weekends and a smattering of pinball machines in the restaurant. HOWEVER, the part that's for kids is kind of an island of broken toys. It just feels a little old and run-down. They've repainted a bunch of stuff, but a lot of their equipment used to have logos from Dutch Wonderland, so definitely second hand.

But I'm not fancy, I love the place and its exactly the kind of clientele I prefer to hang with. I'll just say its not the kind of place that Mom's from the Main Line book their children's birthday parties at, if you know what I mean.

The best is when you have a designated driver. Get a little loose in the bar, then race your friends on the go-karts.
