North of University on Prior Ave is the large building home to Blackstack Brewing and Can Can Wonderland (as well as other venues like an aerial yoga studio and an axe throwing joint that I’m not sure still exists). Can Can Wonderland is basically an arcade + mini golf place at its heart, though it does have a few stages, full bar, a cereal bar, and restaurant.

Details
You pay to enter, and then all arcade games are free with a handful of exceptions. The games range from very old to new, from physical to video. Skeeball next to Space Invaders next to a custom “Caraoke” built in the interior of a small yellow car. The mini golf course is an “art project” style course. It can be a long wait, like in the 1+ hours range.
Hot tip: you can borrow over-the-ear hearing protection from the mini-golf desk with an exchange of ID. And Blackstack Brewing has a good vibe.
