Aladdin’s Castle: Phoenix Village Mall

Aladdin’s Castle was a popular arcade located within a Fort Smith mall, part of a large national chain that brought arcade games into family-friendly shopping centers. It provided a dedicated space for video games and entertainment for many years, creating a social hub for players of all ages. Like most of the chain’s locations, the Fort Smith arcade is now permanently closed. The national parent company was acquired in the 1990s, leading to the eventual closure of nearly all its arcades.
