Entry No. 83 — the Dallas file — filed under: arcade-play

Free Play Dallas

The largest of the Free Play locations sprawls across a wide-open, beam-free floor in Trinity Groves with 160-plus arcade games and pinball machines, all set to free play so you pay one cover and play everything. A full bar and arcade kitchen sit alongside the cabinets, and a same-day wristband lets you hop between all five Free Play locations. After 9pm the room flips adults-only, trading the family-arcade energy for a barcade crowd.

The move: Grab a flat-fee wristband and a couple of drinks, then chase each other's high scores across 160-plus original machines until the room goes adults-only at 9.

📍 Before you go Admission ~$12.89 plus tax. After 9pm it's 18+ (Sun-Thu) or 21+ (Fri-Sat). Same-day wristband works at other Free Play locations.
