Often times people come to Dk's Place and play for a short time and get tickets usually around 12 tickets and start to leave without even looking at the prize counter.They are so use to going to Chuck E. Cheese and having to get 100 ticket to get a Hershey Kiss. I have to tell them "no wait, if you have 1 ticket you can get a prize at Dk's Place". People don't see that we are a place you visit often and don't need a few $100 dollars to have fun here.Chuck E Cheese is a big franchise that you may visit 3 or 4 times a year but we are a family place that you can come visit as often as you like. I would even venture to say we are even cheaper than going to the movies, if you buy popcorn and a soda that is. In reality where you just start to get a prize small prize at other places about 500 tickets or so, that is where our prizes start to end, we have no prizes above 2500 tickets, but we have great prizes though, lava lamps for 700 tickets Stop light 1500 tickets.6 foot spider-man 600 tickets, at the other places you might get a yo-yo for 700 tickets.So if you like having fun and winning prizes you need to come to Dk's Place. http://www.dksplace.com/ http://www.dksplace.com/party.html ...read more

Wow the Haunted house on Halloween was great. There was plenty of screaming and running. Lots of surprises.A couple of folks wanted me to post a video of the haunted house but I won't wouldn't be fair to those who actually went. Now if you didn't make it this year, try again next year.If you didn't go, "let me tell you it was very scary" and was way better then what you might get at the fair or place like that. Of course we didn't have what Disney has (money) but ours was much scarier and smaller. If you did go you'll know that we worked hard and did a great job.  http://dksplace.com/index.html.  http://dksplace.com/party.html ...read more

When most of us were kids, we went to the arcade.It was where we met our friends before we went off to do what ever unspeakable things we did, Played 1 or 2 games of pinball or street fighter or something then we were off. There was no evil going on there, then times had change and bad people started to come and bully, selling drugs, bringing trouble to this once nice place and whats worse the people who own these places would let this go on by either having the place unattended or hiring people who had a lack of character maybe they themselves were also suspect.Then there was the new game systems at home, now games were better at home, game designers now built the best games to play at home and stopped building the best games for the arcade. Kids no longer had to leave the house to play the latest and greatest. Arcades slip more into the abyss. Now in the new age of arcades. We need to be different then those old ideas of just buy a game and the kids will come.Dk's Place needs to be different. We need to be sure that all the guest all get along. We need to be sure that your kids are safe, not just from drugs, but also from people who shouldn't be there anyway. We need to make sure that we keep the kid game with kid games and not mix them with the scary games the teens like.We need to make sure our games don't hurt your children and keep an eye on where they stick their hands and keep the place clean. We need to get new prizes and make sure they are appropriate. And thats what we do at Dk's Place  we have the best, most child friendly staff in the whole world. Making Dk's Place the best place for your children, teens, or adult, just like the name says a family arcade. You can be sure that when your kids are in Dk's Place they are in a safe environment, you have enough to worry about with schools and police being cut you don't need to worry about where your kids play. http://www.dksplace.com/ http://www.dksplace.com/party.html ...read more

 Here at Dk's Place we are able to do many things because the people who work there are all part of the ownership. Any decision made by anyone, within reason, can be preformed.So that is to say if you wanted to have a party and gotta a package that was $175 but felt that 5 pizza was to much and only wanted 4 and wanted a price break that could be done or didn't want a coke product that could be done or any number of things. Accommodation is the real difference. Dk's Place is where you can get what you want.It's not only the parties we also accommodate the people who want to have a game tournament, Although our prizes are small the fun is big. Lastly when was the last time you went to an arcade and someone showed you how to play or told you which games were best for tickets or which games were best for your kids.You know we are very interested in if you'er having fun. Where else are you going to get that. They don't even do that at Disneyland and thats the funnest place on earth.So if you want to come to a place where you get respect and the workers try to accommodate your needs and help you have fun, come to Dk's Place.   http://www.dksplace.com/ http://www.dksplace.com/party.html ...read more

 Here at Dk's Place we're always looking for new ways to bring people in to see us, we believe we work the hardest to bring you the most fun to Woodland.Well we just finish another giveaway.Not that many people showed up and it seemed that some folks got discourage just as they did last year.I'm not sure if giveaways are all  that great.I always believe that everyone likes free stuff.but when people get discouraged that is not that fun.But on the other side the people that did win they look pretty happy and thats worth more than I can say "I love my job" maybe I've gotta find a way to give out more prizes that people like at one time to have more winners so I can have more happy folks.You know here at Dk's Place we are like family, well me, dad, and Dk really are but I mean you are guest are like family and if people leave unhappy it doesn't make us feel good.We want our guest to have fun, sometimes even more than than they do.I would compare it to Xmas when your kid want the special something and when they got it it was the wrong color and there disappointed but not as much as you.That what it's like when people come and don't have fun here.So maybe another giveaway is not the best thing no losers no sad people but look at those smiles I just don't know.http://dksplace.com/ http://www.dksplace.com/party.html ...read more

In the first picture is what we looked like last year in the second picture is what we look like this year.   Right where DK is standing we have 3 driving games. Back then we had only the Skeeball and Basketball for ticket games, now we have a lot more.Now you can barely see the walls, back then we would tear the tickets by hand,we couldn't really do that now. I think some people miss the quaint setting, while others would like to have more.We at Dk's Place have made a commitment to Woodland and we honor that commitment to alway try our best and to give our guest, really our extended family, the respect they've shown us. Everyone in the mall thinks that we are growing, is do to how much money we make, surely that is not true we don't make any more than anyone else in the mall, we just commit ourselves to getting better.Even still we are still growing and next year we will have even more fun stuff for you and your family.Not sure what the bank are going to allow us to have but it will be great.www.dksplace.com www.dksplace.com/party.html ...read more

Now thats summer's here I've been seeing a lot of the folks I haven't seen for a while. Its always good to see the people who help make Dk's Place what it is now. What I find is a lot of the folks who haven't been here for a while are happy to see us too. It's almost like family who you haven't seen in a while. I remmember when they were shy kids now they open up and smile.   Then we have the new people coming. That like making a new friend everday.Now to make the new kids smile I love my job. Everyone is different but we hope that you all have fun at Dk's Place ...read more

 One of the rule of blogging is to show your 'expertize' Thats all fine and well but we are a newer business and although we try to be in touch with our guest. it's not so easy to know what you want from Dk's Place.The main problem is those who yell the loudest are the easiest to hear, but they also aren't always loyal. I've try to listen to all. I would like to know what your family wants.I've looked at all the places Chuck E Cheese, Scandia, Stars, John Amazing Pizza, And believe we are better we do have the better service.So my real question are those places better?   I am currently going to reinvest in Dk's Place and would like to know what your family wants I've been looking at laser tag, serving food, and indoor play areas but am weary of those who are yelling the loudest they don't really try to help my business.Every investment I make is costly and if I make a mistake, it will be a costly one.But if the families would tell me what they would like I could really bring it to Woodland.Is it Laser tag or A play area like Chuck  E Cheese?  The other big question is should I stay in the County Fair Mall. Would your family go somewhere else in Woodland or Is it better to stay in the County Fair Mall, we do have a base there.I always hear people who visit our place say "I like your place" then soon after they'll say "there's nothing at this mall".Well Dk's Place is in the mall.I hear this at least 4 times every day on a slow day on a good day maybe 10 times.Is it time to move?  I read ever comment made so everyone sounds the same, theres no yelling here. www.dksplace.com  ...read more
