Travel Back To The ’80s At Osky’s Old School Pinball & Arcade, A Party-Themed Adult Arcade In Iowa

Located in Oskaloosa's Penn Central Mall, Gen X'ers can stroll down memory lane at Osky's Old School Pinball & Arcade. Walking through the shopping venue itself and then enjoying pizza at the arcade, you might feel like you're in a scene straight out of Fast Times at Ridgemont High. Playing some Frogger, Asteroids, or Pacman might have the same effect. Don't forget the earliest staple of 80s games, however-- table hockey! Not only is this fun place great for adults who want to sip some beer or wine while they reminisce, it's a fantastic place to host a party or treat the kids to a wild time topped off by indulgent ice cream concoctions.

The gaming center's mall site makes it convenient for parents out shopping as well as teens hanging out with their friends.

Electronic pleasures old and new pack the space here, along with pinball machines and an occasional basketball hoop.

Old-timey fountain creations beyond the traditional banana split add to the party-like atmosphere.

This table hockey station of yore fits in nicely with retro video games and newer diversions.

What Gen X'er doesn't remember watching a cool love interest get the high score on Space Invaders?

Though cassettes had replaced the 8-tracks of the last decade when the 80s rolled in, some things are too good to forget about-- like vinyl.

The practical mom or dad might enjoy funding a day of play by selling some old video equipment as the kids amuse themselves.

While Oskaloosa's mall arcade is a crowd favorite, there are three other Old School Pinball & Arcade stores in the area. For information on any of them, head to the website. As a final reminder, mullets were the height of 80s fashion, but completely unnecessary for entry to Osky's Old School Pinball & Arcade!
