Winston-Salem, North Carolina has long balanced its heritage neighborhoods and tobacco-warehouse districts against a busy calendar of retail, dining, and family entertainment. Gaming options in the city range from virtual-reality parlors to retro barcades tucked into the downtown nightlife scene, giving the Triad region one of the more varied arcade maps in the Piedmont. Tucked along South Stratford Road, Adventure Landing Winston-Salem sits in one of the busiest commercial corridors in town, just south of the Silas Creek Parkway junction, where it has become a familiar stop for families, after-school groups, and weekend drop-ins looking for coin-op entertainment.
The directory listing places Adventure Landing firmly in the category of “Video arcade,” and the venue’s family-entertainment positioning matters for first-time visitors deciding where to spend an evening. Winston-Salem also lists national chains and themed barcades that pull from a different audience, so pinball-heads, families, and casual drop-in players can each find a venue that matches their pace without leaving city limits.

The Scene
Without a populated review summary or highlight list in the venue record, this section is built only from what the listing fields confirm — category, rating, and review volume — rather than from quoted feedback. The directory categorizes Adventure Landing as a “Video arcade,” and 884 reviews have given it an average 4.1-out-of-5 score on Google, a volume of feedback strong enough to suggest a steady, repeat-visitor crowd rather than a one-off novelty.
Visitors weighing the venue against its peers should treat that rating as a directional signal — solid, but not flawless — and skim the most recent Google reviews before planning a trip, since neither praise patterns nor common complaints are catalogued here. To see how the venue stacks up against the rest of the Triad, the arcade finder and the interactive arcade map offer side-by-side comparisons by rating, hours, and venue type.
Games & Machines
The directory record does not publish a list of specific cabinets, redemption games, prize counters, or simulator rigs, so this section sticks to what the “Video arcade” categorization and venue type imply rather than naming individual machines. Arcade-style venues of this kind typically offer a mix of classic and modern coin- and card-operated electronic games — driving simulators, ticket-redemption machines, fighting cabinets, and similar change-based entertainment — that turn a quick stop into a longer evening of token play.
Visitors who want a current machine lineup before driving over should call the venue directly using the phone number listed above, or check the official website for the latest floor plan. Compared with neighboring options like Ctrl V Virtual Reality Arcade – Winston-Salem, which leans entirely on VR rigs, Adventure Landing positions itself in the more traditional family-arcade lane.
Visiting
Adventure Landing Winston-Salem is set at 1600 South Stratford Road, in the heart of the Hanes Mall and Silas Creek retail corridor with plenty of surrounding shopping and dining. Doors open at 10 AM Monday through Thursday and close at 10 PM; weekends shift to an 11 PM close on Friday and Saturday; Sundays run an 11 AM to 10 PM schedule. That puts Adventure Landing among the longer-hour options in the local arcade scene, particularly on Sundays when several peer venues cut their day short.
Age policy, group-booking procedures, and party-package details are not listed in the directory record, so the phone line (+1 336-768-4730) remains the fastest way to confirm them before booking. Visitors comparing the venue against the national chain Dave & Buster’s Winston-Salem, also listed in this city, should weigh that venue’s full-service restaurant and bar program against Adventure Landing’s more focused arcade floor.
For planning beyond a single visit, the Dive Bar Winston-Salem page covers the city’s late-night barcade crowd, while Roar offers another comparison point for readers sorting by atmosphere. Operators who want to update hours, games lists, or photos can claim the listing directly through RetroArcade.com, and the arcade finder and interactive arcade map remain the quickest ways to scan every venue in Winston-Salem or across the wider state.
