Arcade Venue

Space Zero is a family-oriented arcade and trampoline park located in the Quincy, Massachusetts area, with its street address listed in nearby Braintree. The venue combines a modest arcade setup with a sizeable trampoline court and a busy cluster of claw machines, making it a popular stop for parents looking for an energetic, all-in-one outing with the kids.

Housed in a mall setting, Space Zero is built more around active play than hardcore gaming. The arcade portion acts as a complement to the bounce floors and foam pit rather than the main attraction, and the combination has earned a strong local following — particularly among families celebrating birthdays or hunting for a rainy-day activity.

The spot sits just south of Boston within easy reach of Quincy Center and other South Shore communities. For travelers comparing South Shore arcade options, it’s worth weighing Space Zero against larger venues like Dave & Buster’s Braintree.

What Players Say

The headline is a strong 4.9 rating pulled from thousands of Google reviews, with most praise coming from families rather than arcade enthusiasts. The venue is consistently described as a clean, welcoming spot where staff go above and beyond — particularly during hosted birthday parties — and where the trampolines, obstacle course, and foam pit keep a wide age range active. As one parent put it, “trampolines, obstacle course, foam pit and arcade games are perfect!” — Google review.

Service is one of the loudest recurring positives, with multiple accounts of staff being “incredibly supportive, attentive, and helpful throughout the entire event” — Google review during party bookings. Kid-friendliness scores well too, with visitors noting the space works “for the whole family, arcade style claw machines, and games, trampolines for all sizes and ages” — Google review, and the prize counter — where guests can “trade in plushies for bigger prizes” — Google review — gets frequent shout-outs.

That said, the arcade side carries honest caveats. The claw machines attract mixed feedback on grip and payout, with one guest remarking “The claw was set so loose that it had almost no grip at all” — Google review, and pricing across credits, bounces, and plays gets called “very expensive for 2 or 3 plays so prepare to spend some money” — Google review. A smaller share of recent visitors also flag upkeep issues, mentioning rips in safety netting and machines that feel worn, while the arcade footprint itself is limited — at least one review noted “The video games only has one machine working, and the rest were crane games” — Google review.

Birthday parties remain the standout experience, with guests calling it “the best experience I have had throwing a birthday party somewhere” — Google review, and the compact size of the venue keeps it manageable for groups rather than overwhelming.

Games & Machines

The directory has no detailed machine roster for Space Zero, so any specifics should be confirmed directly with the venue. Based on visitor accounts, the arcade skews toward claw and crane-style machines rather than a deep catalog of video or pinball cabinets, and the bulk of the activity floor is dedicated to trampolines, an obstacle course, and a foam pit rather than traditional arcade hardware. Visitors focused on pinball, fighting games, or a deep redemption lineup are likely to be underwhelmed by what is essentially a light, supporting arcade built around an active-play anchor.

In short: come for the bounces and the birthday setup, treat the games as a side attraction, and manage expectations on credit value.
