MAIN STREET ARCADE
Enter Main Street Arcade, tucked inside The Soda Museum, and get ready for a blast from the past. Admire vintage soda memorabilia upstairs, and then head downstairs to the arcade, where classics like Pac-Man and Super Mario Bros. await. Play pinball, Skee-Ball, air hockey, and even a game from the 1930s in this nostalgia-filled arcade. A one-time fee gives you access to unlimited play all day long. Grab a bite to eat from the snack bar, crack open one of The Soda Museum’s 120 glass-bottle soda-pops, and let the games begin.
TWO PLUMBERS BREWERY + ARCADE
Calling all craft beer and arcade fans, Two Plumbers Brewery + Arcade has the best of both worlds. Over 15 pinball machines and 40 arcade games call the brewery home and bring nonstop entertainment to your night out. Grab a pint of house-brewed favorites like the Magic Potion (Irish Red Ale), the Castle Flag (American Lager), and the Angry Norwegian (American Pale Ale) then play games like Donkey Kong, Mortal Kombat II, and Tetris. If you work up an appetite, order a 10” personal pizza, nachos, cheesy garlic bread, or cinnamon bites from the wood-fire oven. All games run on quarters, and while Two Plumbers Brewery + Arcade is 21+ most of the time, it’s open to all ages from 12-6 PM on Saturdays and Sundays.

Over 50 retro arcade games, pinball machines, Skee-Ball alleys, and Dance Dance Revolution can be found in this St. Charles arcade. To up the ante, try the Zero Latency VR experience, where you’ll step into another world and battle villains, zombies, and aliens all without leaving planet Earth. Fuel up with snacks, hand-tossed pizzas, and refreshments at the bar to keep the fun going. There is an extra fee for the arcade games and the Zero Latency VR experience, and guests under 21 years old are only allowed on Saturdays from 12-5 PM and Sundays from 12-7 PM.
