WHAT THE ARCADE ISN'T

The newly revitalized Arcade is not a shopping mall, a food court, nor a public square. While it is still a “mixed use” space, the mix now leans more heavily toward private than public usage. So while there’s a lot to see and even more to come, this is not the same Arcade you remember from long ago.

AN INDOOR SHOPPING MALL

Sure we will have retail shopping, but the focus of the Arcade is no longer retail.

A FOOD COURT

We are excited to bring you a wide array of dining experiences. However Murray’s Fish Market is unlikely to return, and our restaurants will all have exterior entrances.

A VIDEO GAME ARCADE

This has long been a source of confusion for kids looking for PacMan and Dig Dug in the 1980s. The Arcade is not, nor ever has been, a video game arcade.

THE ARCADE OF THE PAST

The Arcade has gone through a number of transformations since its development in 1914, but none of thme have been quite like this. The Arcade is a historical renovation, so while it may look very much as you remember it, the new Arcade is a much different vision.

THE ROTUNDA

THE JEWEL OF THE GEM CITY

The Arcade is renowned for its 90-foot diameter glass Rotunda that many consider the most spectacular piece of architectural history in the Dayton region. Meticulously restored to its original detail and beauty with a 2020 twist, the Rotunda is sure to be a destination point for those who are drawn to its architectural majesty.

The Rotunda serves as the interior connector for all nine buildings in the Arcade complex.

It is important that you plan your visit to the Arcade in advance and check with individual tenants to see their hours of operation. Not all areas of the Arcade are currently open to the public.
