Local arcades are a great spot to take your kids, tweens, and teens for a fun activity (and the adults are likely to have a blast, too!) Who doesn’t love skee-ball, pinball, and vintage games like Pac-Man? All the new games with their fancy graphics and VR would have blown our minds back in the 80s and 90s! The metro area has all kinds of arcade options from big places like Main Event and Dave and Busters to smaller arcades and VR gaming centers.
