Arcadia is currently housed in two separate buildings on the town square in McLean, Illinois. This playable arcade museum is fun for the whole family. In the main building, play classic video games like Pac Man and Donkey Kong. Across the street at Pinball Paradise, there are pinball games from the 1960s to the 2000s!  Younger kids, and the young at heart, can also enjoy foosball (Pinball Paradise) or air hockey (Arcadia). 

There is no admission fee, and half of the games are only 25 cents a play. Games are rotated regularly, so you should definitely visit more than once. Stay for an hour or spend the day. You can even spend the night at the Luxury Arcade Palace just above Arcadia.
