Fannie Farkle’s Family Fun Parlor

Buy a game card to pay for all your play, food and drinks. No need to keep up with tickets or quarters! Redeem the card for prizes, too. 

Red Rocket Retro Arcade

If you crave old-school games, especially pinball, this retro arcade lives up to its name. Red Rocket features pinball themes including 1960s TV “Batman,” “The Wizard of Oz” and “Ghostbusters.” Conquer 1980s games including Donkey Kong, Space Invaders and more, plus new games like Jurassic Park.

Pop in to play just one pinball machine, or stay and try every game. Load a game card and pay per game or by the hour, or buy an all-day pass for the best value. 

Arcadia 

With 30,000 square feet of space, Arcadia is Gatlinburg’s largest arcade, located at the base of the iconic Space Needle. Show off your skills on old favorites, or challenge the family to basketball or racing games. Look for trendy games here too, including Halo.

Play cards let you keep the fun going without stopping to pump quarters into games! Cards are available on site, but you get bonus play when you buy online. A $20 card is worth $25, a $50 card is worth $65 and a $100 card gets you $150 of play.

Arcade City

You can’t miss the orange building next to the Gatlinburg Strip. Arcade City boasts oldies-but-goodies skee ball, Pac-Man and Galaga, plus coin push games like DC Superheroes and Willy Wonka. Look for the “chopper” motorcycle games and racing games. 

Buy play cards online to get maximum bang for your buck. A $25 card online comes loaded with $30 in play. The $50 card gives you $65 of play, and the $100 card is worth a whopping $145 of play.
