The cool thing about arcades is that they’ve been around so long now that kids and adults get a kick out of them. Sure, the arcade is geared towards youngsters, but we’re willing to bet most grown folks these days have a fond memory or two of going to play their favorite game, whether it be skeeball, whack-a-mole, or Mortal Kombat. Well, thankfully, the Gulf Shores area has quite a few arcade options for kids and kids at heart. So, to give you some insight, the vacation experts at Brett/Robinson put together a quick guide on the places to go and what to expect!
Fat Daddy’s Arcade at The Track
If you’re already spending time at The Track Family Fun Park, then you may as well stop at Fat Daddy’s Arcade for the perfect mix of old-school and new-school arcade gaming. Whether you’re into interactive racing, prize claws, or traditional carnival games, the colorful decor and wide open space will make time fly. They also have pizza, ice cream, and other munchies!
Arena the Next Level
Arena the Next Level is more of an indoor amusement park than an arcade, but don’t worry! There are plenty of games to go ‘round in their 7,500 square foot gaming area. Next Level emphasizes prizes, so even if you don’t win a bunch of tickets, you can still get something, and their timed play is a cost-effective option. They also boast groundbreaking interactive team competition games like Bazooka Ball and Laser Tag.
Alligator Alley Arcade at Adventure Island
Alligator Alley Arcade at Adventure Island is another fan favorite, with over 100 video and redemption games. What’s more, their Adventure Island Treasure Card points carry over from attractions to the arcade, meaning no separate purchases. So when you’re done playing mini-golf, you can cool off with some gaming. They also have an adrenaline-pumping roller coaster simulator that feels like the real deal!
Outer Limits VR Game Room
If you and your crew are in need of an “immersive interactive experience,” look no further than Outer Limites VR Game Room. Not only will you have a chance to play state-of-the-art games ranging from racing to zombie invasions, but you’ll also feel like you’re literally in the game thanks to their high-tech VR goggles. Just make sure you use all your tickets because there are no refunds for ones you don’t use.
