Plan Your Visit
We are located at 706 Fort Street, Victoria, BC V8W 1H2 (between Douglas Street & Blanshard Street).
The Artcade is open Thursday - Sunday; 2pm-10pm. We are closed Monday, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and some holidays. Check our Google profile for holidays.
Entry is $10-30 (sliding scale) per Person over age 3
Why sliding scale? The ARTCADE is a for-profit artist-run business, it is not grant funded. $10 minimum per guest allows us to “keep the lights on” and gives guests with limited budgets an opportunity to experience the ARTCADE, however we can not grow or thrive with this minimal income. Therefore, we invite guests who are inspired by what we do, and have the ways & means, to donate more. Will we accept more than $30? Absolutely. Every guest is valued and all have access to the same experience. Thank you very much.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
No, we are not a bar or restaurant.
-
The ARTCADE is an all-ages experience.
The mutant machines are built for adults but children of all ages (toddlers - teens) love them as well. Small children may need adult assistance to access features, and we ask adult guardians to ensure their minors do not treat the art as a playground. The machines are well built but not jungle gyms. This is an experience you do with your children.
-
Reservations are not necessary.
The ARTCADE does have an occupancy limit and if we are at capacity we will ask guests to wait. If you have more than 20 guests or want to ensure a timed entry please email us in advance monkeyc.artcade@gmail.com.

All persons entering the ARTCADE are required to receive an “*anti-radiation pin”, available at our front desk, before passing through our Decontamination Portal, and we recommend comfortable shoes.
*anti-radiation" pins are in theme only - this is art, not science. There is no actual radiation.
