Best Arcades in Connecticut - Fairfield County

Sports Center of Connecticut

The arcade here is a separate room in a much, much larger facility offering all sorts of activities. But the arcade totally stands alone and you can easily spend an afternoon here. Pretty much the only machines that don't give out tickets at this place are the pinball machines, though they do have some really great pinball so it's well worth skipping the tix for a couple rounds.

Bouncetown USA

Like a lot of places, the arcade here is situated inside a larger indoor adventure zone. Don't for one second think that means they skimp on the gaming fun, nothing could be further from the truth. Bouncetown is bright and cheerful and chock full of fast-paced, ticket happy fun.

Shooters Billiards & Arcade

Don't be fooled into thinking that this isn't a place for kids. Shooters is an impressive billiard hall, but the arcade is for gamers of all ages. There are token deals available for purchases over $20 and as they say on their website, "The more you play the more you win!"

Sonny's Place
7,000 square feet of arcade action? Sign me up! This place has everything from the classics (Pac Man, anyone?) to the slightly unusual (how about a game of giant Connect Four) and everything in between.
