How much do kids love arcades? The answer is simple: a lot. For many of us, arcades aren't just rooms full of games; they’re actually places filled with adventure, nostalgia, and excitement. Some of the best times from my childhood happened in arcades, and even now, the thought of stepping into one brings back that unmistakable thrill of flashing lights, buzzing machines, and that satisfying pling of a high score.

As a kid, I always looked forward to those rare moments when I'd get to visit the local mall arcade. Most of the time, I'd just peer inside the open doors, hypnotized by glowing screens and the endless possibility of playing the latest games, as my Mom and I hurried by on our way to the grocery store. As we shopped, I’d imagine myself diving into The Simpsons or Terminator 2: Judgement Day arcade games. But on those magical occasions when my Mom would say yes, we’d grab a slice of pizza, and I’d spend 45 glorious minutes lost in the fantasy world of pinball machines, racing games and 64 bit magic.

That same joy, excitement, and sense of wonder is alive today—and you’ll find it at Flying Squirrel’s arcade in Spokane. This place is a paradise for kids and parents alike, bringing back the spirit of the old-school arcade with a modern twist.

 

A Spokane arcade that blends nostalgia and new excitement

At Flying Squirrel Spokane, the arcade isn’t just a side attraction to the trampolines—it’s a key part of the experience. From classic games that will spark nostalgia in parents to exciting new titles that captivate younger players, there’s something for everyone. You’ll find yourself grinning as your kids rack up points playing air hockey, racing games, and digital adventures that rival any big-name console.

The soundscape is instantly familiar: the rapid-fire tap of buttons, the hum of ticket dispensers, and the occasional ding-ding-ding of a jackpot. And let's face it—the appeal of racking up a huge stack of tickets and turning them in for prizes never gets old. It's just as exciting today as it was 30 years ago.

 

Games for all players

The Flying Squirrel Spokane arcade is filled to the brim with a diverse collection of games that any age and skill level can play with. From race car driving to shooting games, your little one will find quite a few ways to really have a great time. Here are just a couple of the highlights:

  • Racing Games: Speed along tracks, drift round tight corners, and battle for first place in a high-octane racing experience.
  • Hoops Challenge: Compete in fast-paced hoops challenges that are fun for all ages.
  • Donkey Kong: Relive the nostalgia with this beloved classic, climbing levels in your plumber coveralls to save the day.
  • Ticket Games: Hit jackpots and collect tickets to trade in for prizes—it's all part of the adventure.

The great thing about this Washington arcade is that it’s designed to be fun for kids while still engaging enough for parents. You’ll find yourself jumping into games alongside your kids, sharing laughs, and rediscovering the simple joy of playing just for the fun of it (and possibly the bragging rights).
