15 Quirky Places to Visit on Your Next Colorado Family Road Trip

"For something to be described as amazing when it’s nestled beneath the very mountain that inspired “America the Beautiful” it has to be pretty special and the Manitou Springs Penny Arcade is just that: special.  It has a couple hundred games ranging from working penny pinball machines and Mutoscopes to modern arcade-box games and 12-player mechanical horse-racing. The setup is a true arcade and meanders over a full block, in all directions. Souvenir and snack shops are peppered between small rooms of arcade machines. Coin-operated kiddie rides have a pavilion in the center of the arcade. Bring all your coins, from pennies to quarters. When visiting, be sure to check out the photos above the games in the penny arcade for a pictorial history of the arcade in its very early days. Seeing how little things have changed, from the lattice on the ceiling to the creaky wood floors underfoot, is as much of a treat as getting a handful of tickets playing Skee-Ball. The Manitou Springs Penny Arcade is a historical treasure that has to be seen in all of its summer-night, twinkling-lights, cotton-candy-scented glory to be believed. There are several different rooms where you can play games, each with its own environment. Some of the games date back to 1900." - ATLAS_OBSCURA

Easily the best place in Manitou. Perfect for a first date. So many things to do plenty of games great atmosphere. Would have loved to be here back when this was in its heyday. Staff is very frequently and everything is extremely cheap, which is pretty impressive considering it's location. This is a absolute must visit for anyone.

Always a great place to take the kids. From very new arcade games alllllll the way to the early years of arcade! Super nostalgic and they do a wonderful job of keeping it that way as well as keeping the cost low. Most games are $.25. The newer ones are $1. There are the old original museum playable ones as well for $.05 - $.10!!! 9 different buildings with a wide variety of arcade.

Such a fun place to go and play around for a couple hours or take the kids as well. If you have a machine that swallows your money and doesn’t do anything make sure you tell an attendant they are very helpful. We really enjoyed it, especially using our pennies, nickels and dimes on some of the older more random machines in the back of one of the largest buildings.

Very fun and large retro arcade that included carnival games as well, they had some games that were 100 years old! The horse race was my favorite. It would be cool if they placed all the games that were super old or out of order in their own little building with informational materials so you could learn more of their history while at the same time it would keep the other buildings a little less crowded. This is a must stop attraction when you are in Manitou Springs!

Every time we pass through Manitou Springs the Penny Arcade is a must stop. We enjoyed the time spent together playing vintage games for vintage prices. Will go back over and over

We’re here ALL THE TIME…day & night! Walking, shopping, grabbing something to eat. I’m actually considering purchasing a business opportunity in this zip-code. Would love to live here too ❤️ Always bustlin & hustlin!

From an adult's viewpoint, the Penny Arcade is a fun, nostalgic place to spend an hour or two but I might have expected it to be better maintained. A lot of the games were out of order. Some were marked as out of order, but we lost money on several others that were not marked. I read the company is under new ownership and hope they will raise their standards before the place gets any worse. Just to clarify, the name "Penny Arcade" has some historical origin, but don't expect to find games that you can play for a penny. Most appeared to be 25 or 50 cents. Still a good deal, but manage your expectations. There are a lot of small shops and restaurants nearby. A walk around town is worthwhile.
