Arcade Amusements

It's such a cute collection of little arcades. I love coming here, as there is a variety and it's affordable!

The town of Morrison is a throwback to simpler times and is a classic Colorado mountain town. Candy stores and chocolate shops are on every corner. Thankfully, this arcade remains in business and adds to the nostalgia.Not only do they have some classic pin ball machines and of course the staples such as pac man, but this arcade has some games from the early 90s such as whack a mole. In 1990 I used to go to "Celebrities", an arcade in Denver, that was sadly converted into a Home Depot. It appears that several of games here are from Celebrities. It was so neat to see over 25 years later. What an awesome place.

So fun for all ages!!! Our teens loved it and we loved going back in time! Some of these games I've never seen before!

Interesting. We were stuck in a snow storm and luckily they were open and across the street from our hotel. Pretty sure they have every game under the sun. There are multiple buildings with a change machine in each. The old school nickel and dime building was super fun with all the old games. They also offer old school skeeball and new skeeball. We had fun wasting time. I must say, EVERY employee looked like they hated life. Unfriendly and frowns on their faces. I think the highlight, which we can not stop laughing about, was when I went to use the ATM and employee was working on his boxing/ninja, judy chop moves. I noticed when I was exiting one building, thinking he would stop when he saw me, nope. Kept going! Right next to me! I wanted to be like, can you do this somewhere else. If only he was making sound effects! That would have been the cherry on top. Another employee was just standing their with a broom not saying anything. It was such a twilight zone moment I can never forget.

If you're looking for pinball, this is a must-visit. This place just KEEPS. ON. GOING. You think you've seen all the games it has to offer, and lo and behold, there's yet ANOTHER small storefront to enter. Very impressive! The amount of pinball machines I saw in this location rivals some of the other massive places around the country (Modern Pinball, OneUp, HQ) although all the machines are separated among many buildings. They had some newer pins, like LOTR and Whoa Nelly, along with lots and lots of older pins. I would say probably about 10-15 games in the 90s era and newer, and about 20 or so games from before then. We had a blast playing all of the pins, and even checked some off of our list that we'd never seen or just never had the opportunity to play at other places. The only things that bugged me about this venue was 1) how crammed everything was - can be tough to get on machines with others lingering right around it and 2) no alcohol, but it made for a great late morning or afternoon destination. I'm not sure if it was the day we went, but the area feels almost ghost-town like and doesn't appear to be staffers in uniform walking around and helping monitor things. So sometimes, you can end up in one of the buildings all by yourself! Kinda creepy but kinda cool. Overall, would highly recommend!

This spot is so much fun! Manitou Springs is such a cute town anyway and this arcade pushes it over the top. Bring your change because you will want to play all of their old school games! They also have a collection of grocery store rides for the kids. Anyone at any age can have a fabulous time here. I loved bringing my grandpa who really appreciated all of the antique games they have. It is a must see if you're in the area!

While this is a very unique display of both working and non working arcade games that all have a vintage or antique quality, this was odd, terrible hot with no AC and dirty.

Tons of fun with lots of antique games and pinball machines. We spent over two hours and only spent about $10 my wife and I had loads of fun while reminiscing our youth. There are several different areas that have different kinds of games we especially enjoyed the old fashion ski ball with the old wooden balls we even played an old English football game for a penny. Some of the pinball machines were a nickel someone a dime others work order just lots of fun for the family or a neat date for your special someone. Will definitely be back for more fun.

The Manitou Springs arcade is a place steeped in history...the history of fun arcade games!This place is a local and tourist hang-out, and has everything from old school pinball machines, to the penny arcade, to the nasty funnel-cake food. It is found in a beautiful location, close to the creek and Soda Springs Park, and has actual running mineral springs that are open to the public to drink from...which make you feel.....great. Mmm....trace minerals. This place is a fantastic spot, and really gives Manitou Springs that special flavor.

We always stop in here with the kids when we're in Manitou. Such a cute place, and lots to do even if you don't have a lot of money to spend.They love the arcade, especially the skee-ball. It's a popular and busy attraction, especially on weekends but still worth a visit. Sometimes we've put money into one of the arcade games only to have it glitch out. (Some of them look to be vintage!) But there are lots of staff members milling around, and they are always glad to help a customer when this happens. There are many different arcade games here, and when the kids are done playing they get to exchange their tickets at the little prize counter.The rides are cute, too and there are lots of fun snacking options and gift shops nearby.We come here a lot and always have a blast.
