Reviews
This is one of those nostalgia-esque places that anyone over 40 will appreciate and anyone younger will be amused by. Pinball machines from the 50's to the 80's adorn the right half of the arcade while electronic games from the 70's and 80's fit snugly on the left. You might not spend hours here, but you'll be kicking yourself if you didn't at least drop in.
I love this little town, Manitou Springs, and this arcade! It is hidden right off the main street behind a candy shop that pulls taffy. There are old-school wooden skee ball & horseracing games.Also, tons of little ride-ons for toddler-aged kids. If you are traveling with wee ones, I highly recommend stopping here!
One of our favorite spots! Such a blast from the past! A must do even if you don’t have little ones!
This place is AWESOME! I highly suggest it. There are a lot of old arcade games. One of my favorite things inside is the fortune teller. Also, make sure to bring a lot of change!!!
This place is awesome. I'm not usually into arcades but the collection is huge and impressive and getting to play the old penny games that still work is a real treat. Plus it's right in the center of downtown Manitou with lots of shops and eateries to check out. Definitely check it out.
Just visited. Still running. Great place.
