I’m always excited to find out about new arcade locations opening up their doors out there and today we have two to look at, thanks to Sara Zielinski for the tips!

The Great American Arcade, Niagara Falls, NY – Earlier this year we ran a story on a new arcade location that had opened up in the Niagara Falls area that was a large addition to a TGI Friday’s restaurant. Now close by in the same town, another arcade has opened their doors that is attached to the Holiday Inn there, The Great American Arcade. The two locations are within walking distance of each other.

For the new place, The Great American Arcade, the focus for their games here is mainly on new redemption pieces but they do have a few video game titles to enjoy: Jurassic Park Arcade; Aliens Armageddon; Big Buck Wild; Golden Tee 2015 Live; Pac-Man’s Arcade Party; Super Alpine Racer (just one) and a  pair of Winter X Games Snocross cabinets. For the full album where you can also catch their redemption line-up, click here.

They are operating on an admission w/ games on free play model, excepting the redemption, which they charge for.
