2012-09-11 | Michael | The old machines are definitely on there way out here. They use to have a hug outdoor (covered) section with these games but no longer. They still have a few of the oldies but most are gone which is a shame as this place was so much fun! |
2011-11-20 | VMC | 72 arcade cabinets. 100s of pinball games. the arcade games are great but the pinball collection is amazing. they have games from the 1940s on up to 2000s. you HAVE to play Revenge From Mars pinball. its a pinball game and video game (mirrored onto the table) in one. |
2011-06-16 | Leo | My wife and I just happened to stumble onto this place. It is very nostalgic; I had not played these games since I was a kid. All games were in perfect working order without any missing components like you see in most pizza parlor joints these days. This is a must stop for any classic arcade fan. Manitou is a great place for outdoor adventures, as well. |

2011-05-22 | Tom Bain | Went to this arcade this month and it is truly amazing! So many games even including rare fair-type oddities. classic prices too - many 25cent, 10cent, even penny games! |
2007-09-23 | Beans | This arcade has WAY more then just 28 games! there are all sorts of amazing things to do here! a must see! |
2007-01-20 | Roger A | Does this place exist? I can not find a phone number anywhere. I called information at 411, there's no listing for "Open Air Arcade", also I did a Google search and found nothing. Does anyone have any updated information on this place, a phone number would be helpful? Or an updated location? Thank you. |
2007-01-18 | Roger A | Do they have the Popeye game? |
2006-09-23 | tgural | Just as an FYI this place has just about every arcade coin game (~300)! They have been in the same location for 71 years and have games that have probably been there that long. I try to go there at least once a month. If you have any questions, please post them. BTW, I'm NOT associated with this place; I just love it! |
2005-10-17 | Oly Shee OT | I never seen this many classic fully functioning games in one place since I went to the arcade in SF my brother worked at in mid-80's. There are even tons of mechanical games I never seen before. Sure didn't expect some sleepy mt. tourist town to have all this! There are multiple indoor rooms and games crammed everywhere they could find outside too. I have no idea who maintains them but I'd love to thank them for the time warp. Oh yeah, check out Pikes Peak if your in the area too. |
2005-08-31 | babygirl | me and my husband went to colorado for our hunnymoon the last day we found the arcade. it was not only the best place in colorado but the best place ive ever been. i have never seen any thing like it for our aniversery we are going back and ill bet our hole trip will be spent there |
2004-02-28 | BVOX | If you are there, you MUST see "what the sultan saw".... Yes, it is still there and if you havent seen it.... well, ya havent lived fully yet I suppose... heheheh! |
2003-11-10 | 8trak | Is "What the Sultan Saw" still there? |
2003-07-18 | Michael McBride | The games are still there (7/7/03) and all work very well (at least the ones I played). Slightly tricky to find from the road - a good landmark is that it is behind the Royal Tavern. |
2003-06-24 | rich........ | denver is a 28 hour round trip for me.. this is an extra 2 hours (there and back).. if you are anywhere near the denver area you need to go here.. most games in fantastic condition & only 25ยข to play.. all of a sudden its 1983 all over again!!!! ... last visited on 6/21/03 .. this place is incredible!!! |
2003-06-02 | B Vox | I was just down there and would like to give a few more classic video titles. Astro Fighter (in a cool low cabinet), Missile command (cabaret cabinet), Dig Dug, Centipede, Pole Position, Galaga, Galaxian, Pac Man Plus, Joust, Boot Hill, Gunfight, Gorf, Defender, Q Bert, Space Invaders, Tron, Tempest, as well as many more and also very cool old mechanical games. This place is a real historical find. If you are in the area, and love these old classics, YOU MUST GO! |
2002-08-14 | Dr. Swank | The Manitou arcade is heaven on earth for the lovers of the classics. |
2002-05-24 | rich | was just there about 4 weeks ago... this place is outstanding.. definitely will plan to spend 3 or 4 hours there next time... unreal!!! great arcade!! |
