Get Your Game On at Two Bit Circus in Downtown LA
Experience the world's First Micro-Amusement Park
Located in the Downtown LA Arts District, the spectacular Two Bit Circus offers a new kind of social playspace: the "World’s First Micro-Amusement Park." Spanning 38,000 square feet, Two Bit Circus features numerous game zones, from classic coin-ops to the latest in immersive entertainment and multi-person virtual reality.
“Some of the fondest memories of my youth took place at the Sherman Oaks Galleria arcade where my friends and I would get together after school,” said Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti at the grand opening in 2018. “Two Bit Circus will open the doors for today's young Angelenos to create lasting memories of their own -- and glimpse the future of our city in the process."
With so much going on, it will take more than one visit - and probably several - to experience everything. To help you plan your visit, step right up and explore the guide to Two Bit Circus!
