Memory Lane Arcade was an arcade amusement park located in Frankenmuth, Michigan. It was opened on April 29, 1975[2] by Dennis R. Atkinson and his wife Irene. It closed on November 28, 2004.[3] It is notable for its collection of old-fashioned activities, including coin-operated fortune tellers, arcade games, roll-playing instruments and attractions. Many games were pretty cheap to play.[4] Admission in the arcade was completely free.[5]

Apart from 100 years worth of penny arcades, the place also offered modern services including 3D movies, sports and computer games.[6] In 1984, Atkinson won an Association de la Sommellerie Internationale award for the "Taito America Elevator Action Kit".[7] By 1995, there was a trend that children were not getting their money's worth from playing games and winning prize.[8]
