Arcade City Branson

Arcade City at Branson Landing positions itself well: sitting inside the Landing's walkable waterfront complex, the arcade benefits from the natural foot traffic of Branson's nicest outdoor shopping and dining district. When kids get their arcade fix, parents have an easy transition to the Landing's lakeside promenade, fountain show, and restaurant row — all without getting back in the car.

The arcade itself is a solid mid-scale option with current games, ticket redemption machines that accumulate points toward the prize counter, and enough variety to keep different ages engaged simultaneously. Younger kids (5–8) tend toward the lower-skill ticket machines that dispense steady rewards. Older kids and teens gravitate to racing games, sports simulators, and skill games.

The prize counter at the end is a ritual that never gets old for kids who've been banking tickets.

The location inside Branson Landing is a significant practical benefit. The Landing has some of the best restaurant options in Branson — sit-down chains with waterfront views and faster casual options for hungry post-arcade families. The combination of arcade, waterfront walk, and dinner at the Landing makes for an easy, self-contained family afternoon or evening without extensive planning.

Pricing is game-card based with value packs available — load a card at the kiosk and reload as needed. Budget $12–25 per player for a meaningful session. Open daily 10AM–10PM, which is one of the most consistent schedules in Branson. The 7D Dark Ride Adventure is in the same building, making an easy add-on for families wanting to extend the visit.
