Teddi Barra's Swingin' Arcade is a former arcade place in Critter Country at Disneyland Park. However, the sign of the arcade is still visible today as an Easter egg.

Description

Frontier fun and games for a dime or quarter.

Background

In the 70s, arcades started popping up across Disneyland. Frontierland, Main Street, Adventureland, and Tomorrowland all had their own versions of arcade games, and before long, Bear Country developed its own. The Swingin' Arcade opened in spring 1972, next to the Mile-Long Bar.

Trivia

• The name Teddi Barra comes from one of the animatronic bears in the Country Bear Jamboree. Her name was inspired by Theda Bara, an actress from the silent film era. It was called the "swingin' arcade" because Teddi performs on a giant swing during her number in the show.
• If you look closely at the facade, you'll still see the Teddi Barra's Swingin' Arcade marquee painted to the left of the window.
