This is a great place for all ages! They have some really nostalgic machines that I have never seen before, including old school ski ball and the old horse derby game! They've also got other newer games from pinball to shooting games

They tried to earn more tickets than each other...SKIBALL is always fun but I love the old pinball machines and baseball games...brings back memories of the 70's when I played these games....a much do when in the Pikes Peak...

We go here every year for my birthday, even though it is about a 2 hour drive from our home now, it is still worth the trip. My kids love coming here and seeing and playing all of the games from generations past. Even if you don't go every year it is a must do at least once whether you... More

Reminds me of my boyhood days at Balboa Island. Probably the only place you'll see such a collection of pin ball machines.

I can't believe that there are still penny arcades around! It made me so happy when I stumbled upon this place about a week ago. I swore that i would only stay for a few minutes and hours later the whole group was playing and having a laugh!! Made me remember how it's not the price of something that should... More

I'm a big kid at heart so I absolutely loved playing these classic and vintage arcade games. Some I've never seen before, many dated back to circa WWII, but I picked them up quickly and had fun. Arcades for 5 cents! Heck ya!

This 1920's era arcade is a blast from the past. Kids of all ages will enjoy it. My favorite is the Donkey Derby game - great fun with a group. Nearby are some great restaurants and Colorado frozen custard.

This is a great retro arcade located in the heart of Manitou. You'll find arcades amusments from the early 1900s through the 2000s. Some as low as a penny - we love the nickle and dime machines. Very large arcade covers an entire city block. Partially inside and out - but all covered.
