PITTSBURGH ARCADE
Looking for a Family Arcade in Pittsburgh?
Carpet skating is just the beginning — here’s what’s in store for you at the arcade.
Here’s What’s Inside Fun Slides
Search “arcade Pittsburgh” and most of what comes back is built for adults, bars with pinball machines, gaming lounges with a full drink menu, spots that are more date night than birthday party. Good options if that’s what you want. Not so useful if you’re trying to find somewhere your 6-year-old can win a few tickets and trade them in for a prize.
Fun Slides Carpet Skatepark and Party Center, in the North Hills on Perry Highway, has a 24-game redemption arcade built into a 35,000-square-foot indoor blacklight park. It’s not a standalone arcade. It’s one part of a bigger visit, and that’s exactly what makes it work for families.

A Redemption Arcade Built for Kids
Every game in our arcade pays out tickets, not just points. Kids play, rack up tickets, and trade them in at the prize counter on their way out. There’s no alcohol, no 21-and-up sections, and no games that feel out of place with a 5-year-old standing next to you.
- Video redemption games like Temple Run and Doodle Jump, based on the mobile games kids already know
- Sports and skill games, including basketball, air hockey, and a batting game where you pick your pitcher and swing for the fences
- Claw machines loaded with plush prizes
- Classic ticket games like a spinning light ring and a ticket-sweeping tower that rewards good timing
Arcade Games at Fun Slides
Temple Run
Grab the trackball and help your runner dodge gaps, tree roots, and a very persistent monkey. Based on the mobile game everyone already knows, but supersized for the arcade.
Deadstorm Pirates
A two-player pirate adventure — one hand on the blaster, one on the ship’s wheel. Steer through stormy waters and team up to fend off ghostly pirates guarding a lost treasure.
Bobble Head vs. Baseball
Step up to the plate and swing for the target zones in the outfield. Pick your pitcher and batter, then see if you can smash your way to a bonus round.
Doodle Jump
Guide the Doodler up a tower of platforms using a sliding joystick, dodging black holes and monsters along the way. Based on the app that’s been on everyone’s phone at some point.
Cosmic Chaos
Pull the handle and watch the balls launch toward the scoring hoops. Quick to learn, satisfying every time you connect.
Rainbow Basketball
A bright, colorful take on classic arcade hoops. Line up your shot and see how many you can sink before time runs out.
Shark Park
Toss balls at the shark targets for points. Simple, fast, and a favorite for younger kids.
Tower of Tickets
Up to four players compete to sweep prize bundles off a spinning tower. Timing is everything — a quick tap of the button can make or break your round.
Cut 2 Win
Line up the cutting mechanism and try to sever the string holding up a jumbo prize. It looks easy. It is not — that’s what makes it fun.
Ticket Ring
A claw crane with a twist: instead of prizes, you’re grabbing rings loaded with ticket values to trade in at the counter.
Solar Storm
A flashy, fast-paced arcade challenge with lights, sound, and a ticket payout for players who time it right.
Cyclone
A ring of lights races around the playfield — stop it on the right spot to hit the jackpot. One of the true classics still found in arcades today.
Jungle Hockey
Air hockey with a jungle theme. Same fast-paced action, plus some extra color on the table.
Wacky Racer
A quick head-to-head arcade racer — hop in, hit the gas, and see who crosses the line first.
Racing Car
Classic arcade driving action for anyone who wants to get behind the wheel for a lap or two.
Boxer Junior
A kid-sized punching game scaled down for younger players, with a lit-up scoreboard that shows off your power level.
Crazy Kitten
Toss balls into a moving trash can while a cat character eggs you on. Easy to pick up, genuinely fun to master.
Big Wheel Moto
A motorcycle-style ride for anyone who wants to rev up and go for a spin.
Mario Kart Arcade GP DX
A racing cabinet that links up with others in the arcade for real head-to-head competition. Choose your character, snap a photo before the race, and race for the win.
Angry Birds Boom!
Sling Red and Chuck at towers full of Bad Piggies on a giant screen, either teaming up or going head-to-head with a friend. Built around the same slingshot gameplay as the mobile game, with force-feedback controllers that make every launch feel real.
How the Arcade Fits Into Your Visit
The arcade is part of every general admission visit, alongside carpet skating and all of our Xtra Activities. Most families rotate through a few activities before landing at the arcade for the last stretch of their visit, so it works well as a way to wind down before heading home.
New to Fun Slides? Skate and helmet rentals are included with every admission pass, and there’s a snack bar on-site if you want to make a full afternoon of it.
