Center in the Square, Roanoke

a one of a kind special place! staff is super friendly and very knowledgeable. we got a chance to relive some exciting childhood memories covering all of the years of arcade fun. every pinball machine I have ever played or seen all working and in almost new shape. Video games from asteroids to dragons lair and all in between. this museum will provide multiple days fun and excitement for the entire family. we are going back many more times. surrounding businesses have many restaurants and the people everywhere were friendly and helpful with information. the museum is open 11 to 8 and when you go plan on making a day of your trip. only pay admission fee and play for free on pinball and or video games. they also have rooftop gardens, aquarium, and movie theater for children and adults alike. we didn't adventure into the theater or gardens. there was a private event in the gardens. this is a gem of an adventure that all ages will enjoy.

First time I have been to Kids Square and was very impressed! There are a multitude of activities for kids 6 months to probably 12/13 years old. There is a sensory wall (buttons and also brushes (see pics). There is a train set, octonauts play set, tons of building sets, music, sandbox, small rubber pieces "sandbox" (see pics it's blue), "play" restaurant/ bank/ hospital/ vet/ grocery store/ campsite, climbing wall, puppet theater, I know I'm forgetting some but hoping this gives the idea that this is A LOT. definitely going back with my 8 year old step son!! The staff was very friendly and were constantly cleaning.
