About the Arcade Age Exhibit (open through Labor Day, three daily sessions)
The Arcade Age explores the short history of video arcade games through exhibits and game play, just as they were intended to be experienced - in an arcade! Now through September 4, 2016, the Cradle of Aviation has transformed a section of its galleries into an arcade complete with over 70 unforgettable favorites like Ms. Pac-Man, Galaga, Space Invaders, Centipede, Donkey Kong and more. Play the arcade classics and check out the exhibit telling the story of video arcade games; from the pioneers in the early 40s and 50s, to the golden age in the late 70s and early 80s, to the industry crash, revival and ultimate decline in the 90s. It is a story of the creative and innovative people who explored groundbreaking technologies, the games that sprung from their ingenuity and a culture that was shaped by their developments. Come join us for an exciting interactive exhibit that remembers and reflects on the evolution of video games and the arcades they lived in.
