1 / 2Arcadia Blenheim
đ Redwoodtown, Marlborough
Arcadia Blenheim runs on real tokens and paper tickets in the classic format - games pay out tickets which convert to prizes, or tickets can be exchanged back to tokens for more play. Affordable by any comparison, with a huge range of machines.
đ Family Action Verdict
Reviewers who have visited other arcades consistently place Arcadia as the best they have experienced - one describes the token-and-ticket system as 'so tactile in all the best ways' and another says families can spend hours for the cost of twenty dollars, calling it a 'very rare experience not to be missed.' Kids of all ages engage with the format, and the prizes-for-tickets mechanic extends play well beyond the initial spend. Staff are described as very helpful.
