Aladdin’s Castle: Rosedale Ctr.

Rosedale Center in Roseville, MN opened in 1969 and housed an Aladdin’s Castle arcade through the 1980s, tucked between department stores on the second level. Forum posts describe a lively venue with classic machines like Donkey Kong, Galaga, and Street Fighter II.

The arcade was part of many teens’ mall rituals before closing in the early 2000s, replaced by retail kiosks during the mall’s renovation phase.

While no longer active, it remains a central part of the mall’s memoryscape for Gen-X and Millennial Minnesotans.
