Arcades in Munich

Arcades are pure joy per dollar. Munich, Bavaria has 8 mapped right now. That's 8 arcades mapped around Munich. 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 Munich (within about 40 km), built from OpenStreetMap's community-maintained data. Names you'll run into include Cadillacs Garage and Bet 3000, plus Fliegonodrom. If an arcade's missing from Munich's list, it probably just hasn't been mapped yet.

What the map tells us about arcades in Munich

Arcade tips for Munich

The regulars' rules for Munich's arcades:

• Learn the ticket-to-prize math at Cadillacs Garage. Glance at the prize counter before playing ticket games. If the math horrifies you, play the video games instead.
• Ask about free-play nights at Bet 3000. Some venues run flat-fee evenings where everything's unlimited. The best value in arcading, when you find it.
• Comfortable shoes. You'll stand for hours. This is not the outing for new boots.
• Check for party packages. Birthday parties at arcades are a whole industry. If you're organising one, book ahead — weekends sell out.

Good to know

We searched about 40 km around Munich — 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 Munich can take a while to appear. The 8 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 8 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.
