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

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

We've visited the midway in Manitou Springs a few times now... this is fun for the whole family! The various arcades are spread out over a few buildings which house old and new games alike. Classic skee ball, original pinball games, air hockey, horse racing, a penny arcade... so many I can't even list them. If you're looking for an... more
