Have An Old-School Colorado Summer At The Nostalgic Penny Arcade

Whether you are a kid or a kid at heart, you know that arcades are where it is at and that there is no better place to spend those hot, summer days (and your allowance). While good, old-fashioned arcades are hard to come by this day and age, we are happy to report that there is still one epic old-school establishment in Colorado, which is the nostalgic Manitou Springs Penny Arcade:

Located in - you guessed it! - Manitou Springs, the Manitou Springs Penny Arcade (or simply Penny Arcade) offers a walk down memory lane via all of your favorite classic video games.

Officially named the Arcade Amusements in Manitou, the Penny Arcade boasts over 400 games that range in price from $.1 to $1.50, with some of the games even distributing tickets for awesome prizes.

Like all great arcades, the Penny Arcade boasts all of your childhood favorites, including Pac-Man, Q*bert, Frogger, Dance Dance Revolution, and pinball galore.

Unique to the Penny Arcade is that their inventory reaches back even further than the late 70s, with some of their games being manufactured in the 1930s!

Are you visiting with kids? There is a special area just for them, too.

Psst... Don't forget to pig out on all of your favorite carnival food while you are there!
