Ever since visiting the Penny Arcades with summer camp, this has been a spot I HAVE to go to whenever I go to Manitou Springs. I love the mix of old and new (skee ball machines with a crank you have to pull to get the balls!) You also still get actual tickets from games and can get prizes. This is perfect for competitive couples or families looking for a fun time. The games are not as expensive as other arcades. It is one of my favorite places to visit in Manitou Springs.

We all loved this attraction! We have a 7 and 10 year old and there was something for everyone! An entire block(s) of games, rides, old vending machines that work! Wild! It used to be a penny arcade but not any more- bring lots of quarters! If you want to take a look at some of the older things, need nickels. There are lots of restaurants and concessions around. Enjoy !

This place was great! There was lots of variety in machines. The moving, riding machines (not sure what they are called) are outside. There were four different buildings, and three different penny smasher machines throughout. Some of the games gave tickets that could be traded in and others didn't. There were even some old penny arcade machines. BUT the only downside is there are 2 rooms that shut down if its too cold. I can't remember if it was 40 or 50 degrees min. But all employees were very nice and helpful. Will definitely visit the next time we go back. You do have to pay for parking at the meters around $5 / two hour time slot. It was awesome to see some of the old machines in working order and not just "on display" where no one can touch them.

We were not fans of Manitou overall - much of the town was like a tourist trap. This place was pretty cool though. Many many old coin operated rides, arcade games, pinball games and the like. Fairly inexpensive fun and lots of opportunities to show younger generations what fun looked like without a smartphone or nintendo.

This place is amazing. There were about 5-6 different building with every type of old game you can think of. It was fun for little kids, teenagers, and even as adults. There is machines that will break your dollars into quarters. Most of the games took between one to 4 quarters. We spent several hours here. There was no air conditioning so on a hot day it was warm in there. They were open during the summer 10am to 10pm

We didn’t know about this place until our pikes cog railway guide mentioned it. It was sooo fun for us four adults. It was like a step back in time. The only reason we gave four stars was because some of the games didn’t give tickets and the prizes for the ticket exchange were lame.
