Oscar's Playground
685 Cannery Row, Monterey, (831) 241‑6616, oscarsplayground.com
Cannery Row needed a place for all ages to play. After all, groceries like Lee Chong’s don’t offer much amusement, La Ida Cafe is no place for kids and Bear Flag Restaurant – it would be completely irresponsible to let children run around there. But an arcade featuring all kinds of the newest video games, as well as some of the classics, with a lounge and a few escape rooms? Oscar’s is a chance for children and their parents to have some fun.
