9 reviews for Seattle Waterfront Arcade
The Seattle Waterfront Arcade offers a wide assortment of arcade games and features an indoor carousel that brings back so many childhood memories. Yes, this mid-twenty something year old man hopped on a carousel and had fun!
This arcade isn't modern by any means but offers the basic staples to make it a decent arcade. It gets an extra star simply on the basis that they have Time Crisis 2 and they allowed my friend and I to finish the entire game for under $5 bucks! Not bad eh?
Prices are reasonable and can probably be considered cheap by Seattle standards.
All in all, a great experience and a great way to pass some time while you wait for your table at the Crab Pot!

Hidden behind the people waiting in ridiculous lines for the Crab Pot lies the arcade.
It's fairly small and uninteresting, but I did enjoy the pinball! It wasn't Theatre of Magic or Mars Attacks sadly, but Pirates of the Caribbean was fun, especially since I scored well enough to get a couple free games.
i love pinball!!!

What the hell happened to pinball?!?
Well I guess I'm getting real old! Only one pinball machine in the place. It happened to be Pirates of the Caribbean which was alright.
However, if you want to "dance", "fight", "drive" any of these new style games it seemed like there was a nice representation. The indoor carousel looked cool for the kids.

Did you know that Seattle Waterfront Arcade has a room you can rent for private birthday parties? And with said rental you can also arrange for cups o' quarters for every party guest, along with unlimited rides on the carousel? AND you can bring your own food to the venue?
I'd write a more descriptive review but my dogs are barkin' after playing host for a surprise birthday party for 21 adults who all enjoyed themselves riding the carousel and playing pinball.
Bottom line: you'll have a fun time with friends and family and it won't break the bank.

As a guest at a certain private birthday party, I really enjoyed the arcade! Yes, there are creepy statues in various corners, but they have TIME CRISIS II, only the best arcade game ever. (Well, maybe the third best, after TC 3 and 4.)
The staff were quite friendly and tolerant, and let my boyfriend and I ride the carousel without anyone else on it. Have you ever had a carousel all to yourself? It's an experience. Faster, Señor Pony, faster!

Hubby and I have brought the kids here twice in the past year or so. The first time was after a somewhat disappointing trip to the aquarium. We decided to find something else to do on on the waterfront and happened into the Bay Pavilion and found the arcade. We had fun on the carousel, with the games, etc. Brought the kids a year later, just skipped the aquarium and went straight here! Very fun but easy to spend a ton of money on games without even noticing, I think my husband liked the games as much as the kids did!
Right on the waterfront, down a hallway of tourist shoppes lies an arcade.
It has all sorts of diversions to drain energy out of kids, including: Whack-a-Mole, video games, dance games, photobooths, a carousel, and those ticket-dispensing games.
If you know me, you know why I was there...pinball! Yes: they have pinball: Pirates of the Caribbean and Simpsons last time I was there, both in decent shape. Hooray!

Two years ago my boyfriend and I were on one of our first dates, just a quick bite and a beer at Kell's, afterwards we walked down to the waterfront strolling the piers and ended up at this hidden arcade area on Pier 57. We had a blast playing games, winning tickets and picking out our prizes. He recently took me back as a surprise date and we had just as much fun!! This is not Game Works, the games in this small arcade are well used and in fair/poor condition, but I love it!
I gave this place 4 stars because the restroom is HORRIBLE! use the restroom somewhere else beforehand! The price of the arcade games are pretty reasonable, cheaper than some other places we have been to. I'd recommend Steamer's after the arcade. I love halibut fish and chips reminds me of Alaska. =]
