Arcade Age Exhibit
- see all dates
The Arcade Age exhibit returns to the Cradle of Aviation Museum just in time for the holiday break. Not only can you play the arcade classics, but the exhibit tells the story of video arcade games.
From the pioneers in the early '40s and '50s to the golden age in the late '70s and early '80s to its crash, revival and ultimate decline in the '90s, the exhibit tells the story of the creative and innovative people who explored groundbreaking technologies, the games that sprung from their ingenuity and a culture that was shaped by their developments.
Complete with over 50 unforgettable playable favorites like Ms. Pac-Man, Galaga, Space Invaders, Centipede, Donkey Kong, and more.
The Arcade Age Exhibit has three 90-minute sessions at 11am, 1pm, and 3pm. Masks and gloves are required, and entry is limited.
