While most games are no longer a penny, this is one of our favorite places to take a couple rolls of quarters and play. There are some weird vintage games and one for a nickel you stand on for foot massage which feels really weird! Some newer games too along with classics like ski ball. The Penny Arcade is a great attraction in Manitou Springs where you can play hundreds of old arcade games like pinball. Walk down memory lane with old arcade games in Manitou Springs.
