Pixel Paradise Arcade - Angus, Ontario

Expansive, Affordable, Unique, Clean. Worth the several hundred mile trek we took to visit and play.

Family friendly token based arcade with a great balance of classic rare games from multiple eras and redemption ticket games, laid out in an arcade that gets larger and larger on every corner you turn. Retro Gamer or Family looking for a weekend trip, this is the place you should check out.

I have gone to this arcade several times now, and I must say it is always a great experience. It is a nice way to spend the day out of the house recreationally.

The game selection is incredible. It is focused mainly on games of the retro variety (but not exclusively) with a wide range of genres: classic, fighting, redemption, racing, shooter, pinball, and rhythm games. If you enjoy one or more of these genres, you will be sure to find something that will keep you coming back.

The arcade staff are very friendly and knowledgeable about the games in their possession. They rotate new games in and out from time to time (not frequently, but more so than the bigger chain amusement game centres in the area) so you can anticipate trying something new out on some future visits. The pricing for tokens is also reasonable, you can get pretty good value and use them on future visits.

I'd highly recommend it to anyone to check out this hidden gem.

I've been to Pixel Paradise a few times. I commute from Metro Detroit to get here, which is quite a trek. It's very worth the hassle at the border and the five-hour commute.

The selection of games is amazing for younger and older individuals alike. The retro selection bridges the gap between nostalgia for older folks and discovering some of the greats for the younger ones.

They also have a selection of niche rhythm games and a couple modern games, which I was shocked to see. Being able to play the new Halo game was such a delight. I also found a couple of games that were shipped from the GameWorks arcade that closed down in Michigan in 2021.

Prices are great, selection is amazing, and the atmosphere is pristine. You NEED to check this place out. Modern arcades have lost their way, turning into mobile games on big screens to entice you to go spend money on overpriced food and beer. THIS is the real arcade experience.

We had a great experience at this place! The staff were friendly and welcoming. The prices were reasonable, and the playroom was big, clean, and super shiny—perfect for kids to run around and have fun.

Healthy mixture of various arcade cabinets at extremely reasonable prices per play. They have a healthy amount of cabinets that were commonly found in my era 2000s~2010s.

They also happen to carry a certain newer cabinet that is very uncommon to come across in Canada. Now that's cool. A little on the steeper end to play but it's incredibly fun if you happen to use it in conjunction with a special NFC card to record your game save. Not to mention, the average game session lasts 12 mins per play, so it's well worth it.

My only complaint is that Crisis Zone and House of the Dead 4 needs to be recalibrated. As well, I wish Halo Arcade was a tad cheaper to play. Revive upon death being 3 tokens is a bit steep.

Wonderful staff, atmosphere, and a clean environment. Will definitely come again. Thanks alot!

Great arcade for me and the kids. It's even the "old school" tokens and tickets and not tap card. They have 4 separate arcade room with all kinds of racing, shooting, 2 air hockey tables and so much more.

Had our daughters birthday party at Pixel Paradise and it was the perfect venue. Party room is lovely and prices are reasonable. Kids and parents had loads of fun out playing the games and winning fun prizes. Would definitely recommend.

Rhythm game players, rejoice! Old school Dance Dance Revolution, Pump It Up, Drum Mania, and Guitar Freaks all in one place! Machines are well-maintained, sensors working as it should. DDR Extreme is also interesting, it has the 5th Mix cabinet/signage and includes songs from the Korean mixes. My only gripe is that one game lets you play 2 songs instead of 3.
