New Arcade Opening Soon in Rochester, Minnesota
If you've ever said, "there is nothing fun to do in Rochester!", you aren't wrong. For the amount of people that are in this town, we lack some serious entertainment venues for young kids, teenagers, young adults, people in their 40s and above...everyone! That is about to change thanks to a new arcade that is opening up in the Med City.
Keys Are In Hand And New Arcade in Rochester, Minnesota Is In The Works
Chuck Marino, owner of HyperSpace Starcade, sat down with me recently because I heard the dream of an arcade was one step closer to happening in Rochester. The keys to the new place were in Chuck's hand. HyperSpace Starcade's new arcade will feature a little more than 2,000 square feet and include about 76 different machines for fans to enjoy.
If you are thinking that you've heard of HyperSpace Starcade before, you probably have. Right now, Chuck operates a mobile entertainment service and travels all over for birthday parties, graduation parties, bachelor and bachelorette parties, family gatherings, school events, and more. I've even had the trailer at my house for a party a few years ago for one of my kids' birthday parties.
The dream though was to introduce a state-of-the-art arcade to complement the successful mobile entertainment service that already exists.

Will the New Arcade Have a Birthday Party Room?
Short answer - yes.
Quite a few details are still in the works but yes, the new arcade in Rochester will have a private room that you can rent. This can be used for anything though and not just birthdays. Currently, the plan for the room is to allow guests to bring their own food in so, if you want to bring a Costco cake, cookies, pizza, you can.
How Is This Arcade Different Than What Already Exists in Rochester?
According to Chuck, they are focusing on high-quality prizes and you'll be able to get most of those directly from the machine you are playing. When you walk out of HyperSpace Arcade, you are going to feel like a winner thanks to the environment and the selection of prizes.
What Types of Games Will This New Arcade Have in Rochester?
The plan at the moment is to start with 11 different types of claw machines, marble pushers, candy pusher machines, and Funko Pop.
