Arcades and indoor entertainment centers are a great way to break up these chilly winter days with something a little different. Indoor entertainment centers are a thrilling destination for families, whether you’re cheering each other on in skee-ball, sneaking around to get the perfect shot in laser tag, or whizzing around the corners to see who’s the fastest go-kart driver in your crew.
Some spots have it all-laser tag, go-karts, amusement rides, mini-golf and classic arcade games. While others are geared towards younger kids, with easier games and redemption centers; still others have a cool, vintage vibe with old-school pinball games and unlimited play. There is something for everyone.
Check out our full list below to find the perfect place to take your family for an extra-special night of play together!
Some of these places do occasionally offer Groupons for arcade play, so be sure to check before heading out.
