About
Orono Arcade LLC is Bar Harbor's go-to indoor entertainment destination for families caught between outdoor adventures or looking for something different on a rainy Maine afternoon. The arcade features a classic selection of video games, redemption games, and skill-based machines that appeal to children across a wide age range. Little kids love the bright lights, simple button-mashing games, and the excitement of collecting tickets, while older kids and teens gravitate toward games that require more strategy and skill.
The prize redemption counter is always a highlight, with kids carefully counting their tickets and debating which treasures to take home. The atmosphere is lively and casual, exactly the kind of low-pressure environment where families can relax and let the kids have fun without any particular agenda. On rainy days in Bar Harbor — and there are many — Orono Arcade becomes something of a community gathering spot, and the energy inside is genuinely fun.
For families spending multiple days in the area, the arcade provides a welcome change of pace from outdoor activities and a satisfying way to fill an overcast afternoon.
