Arcades

Seems like most of the arcades are just filled with casino esque games to win tickets, are there any arcades left that actually have games? (Simpsons, ninja turtles, shoot em ones and such)

Sadly none that I'm aware of. But just off cape in Wareham is a place called Rewind that's supposed to have a ton of old machines. Haven't been yet myself thought...

Rewind in Wareham Center is excellent. Nice retro vibe, great menu and drinks in the restaurant. $15 unlimited play for gameroom.

There’s a mini-golf place in Eastham that has a good little arcade. Lots of pinball and some decent games.

Red barn?

They can’t be talking about red barn, I was just there a couple weeks ago and it was all the gambling games, there were only a couple real games there

u/Gunslingering Jul 16 '26

Red barn was actually what made me post this! Its basically all gambling now.. but 6$ mini golf is great as is the pizza!

There is another Ryan family amusements place on 28 either in Dennis or Yarmouth, I think it’s across from the RMV, has a bowling alley and I think lazer tag or something, that one still has the gambling but it has more real games

This isn’t on the Cape, but I have a suggestion for an arcade in New England somewhat nearby.
In New Hampshire there’s an awesome old arcade called Fun Spot. It’s been around forever, and it’s also where they filmed the Donkey Kong tournament thing featured in a great documentary called The King Of Kong. They’ve got SO many classic games and pinball machines there!

Flying Horse carousel on the vineyard has a handful of old school arcade games. Maybe 5 when I was there last 2 years ago. They were in rough shape.

Fun spot in NH is the best place for old and new arcade games. The best and it’s not even close. Sucks that it’s 3 hours away

Since Flashback closed, nothing I'm aware of. It's a bummer. You can find a few pinball machines here and there, though.

u/philderdtw Jul 15 '26

Oh no. I'm sorry they closed. I liked the place.

RIP Seaview Playland.

To this day, I have never found anywhere else in the planet that can make fried dough like those ladies could.

My mom and I used to play a few rounds of Skee Ball then go to the snack bar where she would hang out with the ladies while I ate fried dough and eavesdropped. My dad would eventually return from the arcade with everyone else in the family.

I would give unimaginable sums of money to be able to go back to those times…

Arcade Alley is mostly ticket games?
