Love Manitou. Lived there awhile and would do so again in an instant. The arcacde is good cheap fun and always takes you back to a more carefree era.

What a cool place to go to with the family. I came here expecting some basic pinball and atari games. What I got was a full spectrum of gaming from the 50's to current era games. The games range from old school pinball and conveyer belt shooters to Donkey Kong to Dance Dance Revolution and Guitar Hero.
The Penny Arcade has games that can literally be played for 1, 5, or 10 cents. Occasionally you'll hit a broken game; there were about two or three games that stole a dime during my two hour stint here.
But it's totally worth it. Almost all of the games look beat up, but it's more endearing than it is sketchy.
Plus they have small car rides for kids ten and under.
Some negatives include the coin eaters, and that the openness of the gaming areas leave little defense against poor weather.
This is a cute arcade in a cute town. I look forward to my next visit. -

Another great place next to the penny arcades. So much fun and the games are classics. Not your standard Dave & Buster or mall arcade overpriced 21st century games. So much fun with so little time. More cities need to capture the classic arcades. I have only seen one other place like this in Newport Beach...

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. -

If I could have a beer while playing pinball they'd get their 5th star.
New pins at least every two years. Maintained pretty well... rich in history. -

25 cent skeeball with candy prizes is the draw for me, but there are lots of different games, although in a very small area. It's not really they type of place you can spend a whole day at.

This place is a great classic arcade. Lots of pinball machines, arcade games, and ticket games. It has quite a bit of older games but it has newer games too. My favorite are the pinball machines. I saw two newer Sterns (Lord of the rings and CSI) and several EM games and a few SS. Probably 25 pins in all. Several old light gun games and a few manikin games too. Most of the games were just a quarter. My wife and I enjoyed getting our pictures taken in one of the old black & white photo booths. One of the buildings had a display with dozens of old gumball machines. Just a neat old place. Of course it would be nice to see some of the Williams Pins from the 90s, but you just don't find places like this anymore. Definitely a place you could kill a couple of hours at.

We had a most fabulous Sunday evening playing old-school pinball for hours upon hours. We also took some pretty fabulous photos on the animal rides. What a GEM!

Talk about a blast from the past. Lots of fun can be had at this old school arcade. from horse races to skee ball to old pinball machines that actually still work. Definitely a place to hit up if you are in Manitou Springs

one of the best trips down memory lane ever. there's skee-ball, air-hockey, quarter rides, arcade video games and games over 100 years old. i have great fun going and playing massive amounts of skee-ball and giving my tickets away to random children. good family fun here.
