Arcades in Los Angeles

Arcades are pure joy per dollar. Los Angeles, CA has 43 mapped right now. That's 43 arcades mapped around Los Angeles. Machine condition varies wildly between venues, so the one with the best-maintained cabinets wins regardless of size. Off-peak hours mean shorter waits on the good machines and your pick of the racing seats.

This guide covers every arcade we could verify in and around Los Angeles (within about 40 km), built from OpenStreetMap's community-maintained data. Names you'll run into include John's Incredible Pizza and Chuck E. Cheese, plus Dave & Buster's. If an arcade's missing from Los Angeles's list, it probably just hasn't been mapped yet.

Arcade tips for Los Angeles

The regulars' rules for Los Angeles's arcades:

Good to know

We searched about 40 km around Los Angeles — that covers the town itself plus the surrounding communities you'd reasonably drive to. Listings come from OpenStreetMap, mapped by local volunteers, so a brand-new arcade in Los Angeles can take a while to appear. The 43 above are only as current as the community map. A arcade that's shut, or a new one nobody's added yet, gets fixed with a single OpenStreetMap edit.

We don't list machine lineups — they change too often. What we list is the where: real venues, verified by real mappers.

If you run one of the 43 listed here and something's wrong — a closure, a move, new hours — the fix is the same: update the shop on OpenStreetMap and the correction flows through to this page on the next daily refresh.

Arcade listings for Los Angeles: 43 mapped from OpenStreetMap contributors (ODbL). Photos from Wikimedia Commons contributors; individual photo credits appear in captions. Listing data was last refreshed automatically — verify hours before visiting.
