The Markham arcade run
Plot these on a map and the day plans itself: Fantasy Fair on 500 Rexdale Boulevard, Chuck E. Cheese on 4141 Dixie Road, Activate, Legoland Discovery Centre on 1 Bass Pro Mills Drive, Okyo on 340 Yonge Street, Claw Me Baby on 5582 Yonge Street, FreePlay on 300 College Street, and Activate on 30 Weston Road. That's 52 stops on the Markham arcade run. 44 more are listed below.
Arcade tips for Markham
A few things worth knowing before you work through Markham's arcades:
- Go off-peak at Fantasy Fair. Weekday afternoons mean no queues on the good machines and your pick of the racing seats. Friday night is the opposite.
- Pinball rewards regulars at Chuck E. Cheese. Pinball tables have personalities and moods. Play the same table a few times and you'll start reading it.
- Respect the machine queue. One credit, then rotate on busy machines. Camping a popular cabinet on a Saturday night is poor form.
- Bring ear protection for kids. Arcades are loud. Little ears appreciate plugs, and you'll enjoy it more too.
Good to know
We searched about 40 km around Markham — 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 Markham can take a while to appear. Spotted a closure among the 52, or a arcade we missed entirely? The map is the source of truth here — one OpenStreetMap edit corrects it for everyone.
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 52 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 Markham: 52 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.
