Kid friendly arcade in Seattle
November 11, 2021 6:09 PM Subscribe
With the unexpected day off from school, I want to take my kids out tomorrow--we did an arcade while on vacation that loomed large in their brains and I'm trying to find something similiar, but mostly getting bars in my searches
*Would prefer Seattle or the northish suburbs. I know about Family Fun Center in Tukwila and it's the best option so far
*God, not too expensive. I just want to play video games with my sons. No weird cover charges.
*My younger son loves cranes machines, especially the ones with candy inside
I've googled and found some places but it's unclear to me if they're open or actually bars or what. Thanks in advance for any recommendations.

The Seattle Pinball Museum will be open tomorrow. It's also in the CID, so there's a lot of other kid-friendly restaurants and stores to go to, if the kids get bored of pinball.
There is a charge for each person, but then you can play all day.

(My information is all pre-pandemic.)
8-bit Arcade in Renton has a fantastic selection of retro games and pins. Don't know if it has claw games, tho. It's a bar, but it's all-ages until 9PM.
Family Fun Center's games selection was mostly ticket machines. When I took my little there it mainly served as a lesson about how ticket games and carnival/midway games give far less than they take. But if that doesn't bother you and your son is into ticket games, it's a great choice.
