Hop! Skip! Jump! might not come to mind as an arcade, but they have lots of offer! There’s a laser maze, a climbing wall (okay, maybe not exactly an arcade-type feature, but great for kids looking for a challenge), air hockey, a two-lane mini bowling alley, and two 9D virtual reality capsules!
Just next door, check out the arcade fun at Cineplex Trinity. Test your skill at basketball, skeeball, air hockey, and climb on a motorcycle for some awesome fun.
Bowling alleys are great spots for games, too! Dieppe Bowlarama recently renovated the arcade section is awesome; our kids constantly ask to return!
SkyZone had several great games and a virtual reality studio before they closed; we hope these elements will return in their new location!
Spin-It Records & Video boasts a wide assortment of games, including of course some vintage gems. Be sure to check out the four-player Avengers game!
In the summer, check out the Tek Zone at Magic Mountain. You can access this arcade space without entering the main park, avoiding the entrance fee, or you can buy a bracelet package that includes tokens for play!

In the Saint John area, check out Vegas Family Entertainment Centre, their Bowlarama, and for the grown ups, plan a visit to Eighty 3 Bar Arcade!
Do you spend time in arcades as a kid? Was it a family outing or a ‘no parents welcome’ outing? Fun fact: Pickle Planet Moncton creator Jenna was BANNED from the local arcade at age six by her father. She wandered away from him in the mall to play her favourite game – and didn’t step foot in the arcade again for more than a decade.
