At least two Penny Arcades existed at the park. The first was installed in the Colonnade across from the Theater around 1904.[1] Penny Arcades were attractions with coin-operated devices, including fortune-telling machinery, slot machines, love tester machines, skill-based games such as skee-ball, box-ball, and shooter games.[2]

The term "Arcade" was also used to describe the Colonnade as a whole.
