While we opened in 2009, Arcadia technically got its start back in 1986 when John Yates, our founder, first started collecting games. Several decades later, he’s amassed one of the largest collections of arcade games and has opened up a playable museum so others can enjoy the games, too. This is an arcade for the new generation. We can’t wait to have you join us to relive old memories and create new ones!

We will be OPEN MONDAY for Presidents' Day - 10am to 8pm!

We've been rotating in some new games over the last month with more to come....

Check out this amazingly fun Black & White classic Atari game - AVALANCHE!!! I think it's safe to say there is no other arcade in the world that has these three games lined up.

Trust me - you don't need flashy, hi-tech graphics and sound effects to make a truly fun-to-play arcade game.
