Waterland Arcade can be hired for team outings, company parties and group celebrations of 6 to 60 guests. The retro arcade and pinball bar sits on Marine View Drive South in Des Moines, Washington, about 3 miles from SeaTac Airport, and gives your group the whole floor.
Seminars and company events
The arcade welcomes corporate parties, sports teams and nonprofits alongside birthdays and graduations. It is a fit for a team-building evening, a client thank-you, an end-of-project celebration or an informal staff party rather than a seated meeting. Every guest plays all the games for the length of the booking, with no tokens, quarters or game cards to manage.
For corporate groups the team can provide drink tickets and a single-payer tab, and can adapt other details on request. A dedicated host looks after your group, and you control the music through the club-level PA system.
Private hire options
Two kinds of booking exist. The private arcade party gives you exclusive use of the entire arcade, in two sizes: up to 30 guests or up to 60 guests. The arcade party is a shared option: you get a reserved table or party area for 12, 25 or 50 guests while the arcade stays open to the public. Each booking runs two hours.
Exclusive hire is available Sundays from 10 AM to 10 PM and Saturdays from 10 AM to noon. Parties can also be booked Monday to Saturday between 12 PM and 10 PM, while the arcade is open to the public. Booking is online, and the team can override the calendar if your preferred slot does not show as available.
Rooms and capacities
There is one main hall rather than separate meeting rooms. It holds more than 55 classic arcade and pinball machines, a bar with over 40 craft beers and ciders, and tables for food, gifts and gathering. Capacity is 60 guests for a full private hire.
Catering
Groups bring their own food and cake to the party tables. The bar serves craft beer and cider, and drink tickets can be arranged for company events.
Getting there
The arcade is in the Marina district of downtown Des Moines, Washington, at 22306 Marine View Drive South. SeaTac Airport is about 3 miles away, which suits teams flying in for a short visit. Regular opening hours are Monday to Thursday 12 PM to 10 PM and Friday and Saturday 12 PM to 11 PM, with Sunday by reservation.
Cancellations
If you need to change the date, you can reschedule without losing your deposit and choose any future date. The venue publishes partial refund terms for cancellations that cannot be rescheduled, so ask for the current policy when you book.
