Adulthood is no walk in the park, and we all need an escape from the chaos every now and then. You’ll find just that at Maniac’s Mansion, an arcade in Wichita Falls that has a cereal bar with over two dozen childhood favorites. Whether you were a chocoholic who liked to start the morning with a bowl of Reese’s Puffs or preferred something fruity like Trix, rest assured the kid living inside you will be thoroughly satisfied.

The ultimate place to be a kid again, Maniac's Mansion is an alcohol-free arcade bar nestled in the heart of historic downtown Wichita Falls.
Upon entrance, you'll feel as if you've stepped through a portal back to simpler times, with wall-to-wall nostalgia in the form of old-school gaming consoles everyone born in the 90s or earlier will recognize.
From pinball to Pac-Man and everything in between, the selection of games is huge.
All of the more than 30 machines are set to free play, so you won't need to buy quarters or tokens. Instead, for just $8 per person, you can enjoy all the games your inner child desires from open 'til close. There are classic board games like Connect Four and Jumanji, too!

So what makes Maniac's Mansion an arcade bar if not adult beverages?
You'll also see a variety of different toppings like fresh fruit, chocolate chips, and whipped cream, as well as non-dairy milks for those with dietary restrictions.
Not all of the cereals are easily recognizable - take these limited edition holiday boxes, for example.
From posters to figurines and a whole host of other collectibles, the inventory is sure to resurrect cherished memories you had all but forgotten about.
Hours are 5 p.m. until 9 p.m. Wednesday-Thursday, 5 p.m. until 10 p.m. Friday, and 6 p.m. until 10:45 p.m. Saturday. Visit the arcade’s Facebook page to learn more.
