I went here every weekend when I lived in Colorado, and it's a must see everytime I go back to visit. You just can't get a variety of old and new games like this. The fact that it's next to Patsy's just adds to the experience! The most bang for your buck if you're into the old days of arcade... more

80s music playing, some new pop as well on the overhead. If heaven includes an arcade like this I am there! Lots of old machines, regular price and friendly attendants. Played machines from every decade of my life. Really neat place. Hydrate with some of the free spring water from the numerous places along the street (bring your own cup)... more

If you're like me, you're sick of seeing arcades full of $1-2 games that you need a second mortgage to kill some time in. Never fear! The penny arcades in Manitou Springs are fun, have a zillion games to try, and many are a penny, a nickel, a dime, or a quarter. That's right - penny, nickel and dime games!... more

Not only does this arcade have coin-op games dating back a half century or more, many of them still take the same coins. That nickel basketball game is still a nickel. Several classic pinball machines still take just a dime. There's even a bizarre old soccer game in the back that still takes a penny. Every good thing that previous... more

Skee-ball!

I spent hours at Arcade Amusements just playing skee-ball. It was awesome. I was glad to see an arcade that had REAL equipment instead of all the shiny-plastic-neon garbage you see so often at arcade franchises. The staff was friendly, the location was marvelous. If I had another week to spend in Manitou Springs, I'd probably spend a day at... more

We spent about four hours in the Penny Arcade. Our kids (from age 1-13) all loved it. Everything from the little riding horses to skeeball and pinball to video games. If we were in Manitou again, we would definitely spend another afternoon here with the kids. more

This place is AWESOME. I was told by a friend that this location is a must-see, and he was right. We had finished our time at the Garden of the Gods and decided to take a walking self-guided tour of Manitou Springs. I had been told about the penny-arcade before hand, and had expected a hand full of games surrounded... more

I can remember coming here with my grandparents 20 years ago when I was a kid, and it hasn't changed a bit. That doesn't mean it's rundown though. Quite the contrary, it's maintained very nicely and extremely clean. My 3 and 6 year olds loved playing the old time skeeball game, riding the little quarter rides that their grandmother probably... more

Arcade Amusements may not excite today's jaded teens, but game collectors must palpitate a little when they enter the place for the first time. The arcade's collection of machines is so large that several buildings are required to house it--------this place is the Smithsonian of game arcades. Arcades don't normally put me in mind of a museum, but that's because... more

If you love arcade games, this is the place for you. Penny peep-shows, decades of pinball, skee-ball, Pac-Man, and more. The best part is NO TOKENS. Each game costs exactly what it cost when I played them as a kid. There's also a snack stand for the necessary Pepsi and funnel cake break. Plus, it's right in the heart of... more
