For generations, the Historic Manitou Springs Penny Arcade has been the most popular downtown venue in our mountain town located at the base of Pikes Peak, just 6 miles from America’s 40th largest city, Colorado Springs.
Our eight-building venue features 400+ coin-operated* video, pinball, and mechanical machines, some more than a century old. We also have pool tables, kiddie-rides, photo booths, skee-ball, and our world famous 12-horse race Derby game manufactured in England.
NOW OPEN! We have reinstated the Penny Arcade Snack Bar! Fresh and affordable paninis, smoothies, freshly squeezed lemon and limeade and our World Famous British 99 ice cream – the creamiest vanilla and chocolate ice cream west of Liverpool topped off with the crumbliest, flakiest milk chocolate in the world.
Each year more than 150,000 families, travelers, and locals enjoy the nostalgic charm, the sound of bells and chimes, and simple old-fashioned fun. Walking through the doors is like stepping into another era —with memories made one quarter, dime, or sometimes just a penny at a time.
We have plans to add many new and refurbished games, a small retail venue as well as an events area suitable for private celebrations.
*Our 1 ATM on-site dispenses $10 bills for a $3+ fee. You may purchase a Surprise Bag that contains Arcade swag, a surprise toy, candy, coupons and quarters; a $13 bag contains $10 in quarters, a $23 bag contains $20 in quarters etc.
