Waxahachie's First and Only Free Play Arcade
This nostalgic gem features around 40 of the most classic and iconic arcade games and pinballs of the 80s and 90s. Located in the basement of the historic Rogers Hotel at the heart of Downtown Waxahachie, The Arcade boasts a unique and urban atmosphere that takes you back in time to the Golden Age of video games.
Our Mission
We exist to connect generations in an age of disconnection. We seek to provide a fun experience for all ages and all walks of life.
Our History
The Arcade began as a dream in 2018 as Sam and Alyssa Westlake along with some close friends began to consider what it would look like to open a Retro Arcade in Waxahachie. After years of strategizing, collecting, praying, and hoping, the Westlakes opened The Arcade at the end of 2019. Sam grew up in Waxahachie and the Westlakes have been raising a family here since 2014. They felt a burden to answer the call for more entertainment options (especially family entertainment) in our rapidly growing city and county.
