Aladdin’s Castle: Northpark Mall

Aladdin’s Castle was an amusement arcade located inside Joplin’s Northpark Mall, part of a once-prolific national chain. It served as a popular entertainment and social destination for the community, offering a variety of video games and amusements within the mall’s bustling environment. The venue was a fixture for local youth and families, reflecting a significant era of arcade gaming culture. While specific opening and closing dates for this location are unknown, the parent company began closing most of its arcades by the late 1990s, and this venue is now permanently closed.
