The Penny Arcade is a great attraction to take people of all ages if you are planning a visit to Colorado Springs! It is called the Penny Arcade because you will be able to find hundreds of arcade games which some of them still cost a penny. (sadly not many) You will be able to find some of the first arcade games and walk through arcade game history playing over 20 different pinball machines to 30 different racing games. The games can date back to the 1930s if not earlier where a lot of the games cost the same price they did back then. If you are looking for a place to find some lost games that you have not seen or played for decades the Penny Arcade is the perfect place to go. The Arcade is located just off Main Street and consists of several little buildings, every building has it own different style and feel.
