Spotsylvania Mall at 390 Spotsylvania Mall Drive in Fredericksburg, Virginia opened in 1980, and its Aladdin’s Castle arcade became a fixture by the late ’80s, located near JCPenney. Local news archives note “Kids’ Game Nights” hosted by AC in 1992 as part of mall youth programs.
Long-time patrons recall neon token machines and redemption-ticket walls under the mall’s skylights, with AC’s mirrored-ceiling booths serving as a hub for mid-week gatherings.
The arcade closed in 2004 amid a center-wide refurbishment; its former footprint now houses specialty retailers, yet Fredericksburg nostalgia outlets still share photos of its glowing cabinets.
