Arcadia: America’s Playable Arcade Museum & Pinball Paradise

Located on the McLean Village Square, Arcadia's mission is to provide a place for folks to experience the near-forgotten excitement of a real game arcade. They have replicated the closest thing to a real, old-fashioned arcade as possible. No ticket machines, no wristbands, no cashless card scanners… just a change machine and a pocketful of quarters, each unlocking a new world of fantasy and delight. Arcadia rotates games from their collection of over 1,500 games, with a focus on the most memorable, entertaining pinballs and video games from the 80s and 90s.

 If pinball is more your style check out Pinball Paradise, just across the street. There you will find over 25 lovingly restored pinball machines from the 1960s through the 2000s, as well as a handful of classic video games and a rare, professional-quality Italian Foosball table made by Faspendezza.

This stop is also within walking distance of other items of interest, including two murals and a historic restored water tower, soon to have a mural of its own.
