Macarthur's Arcade

“Macarthur Arcade – 4/5 Macarthur Arcade is a delightful place for anyone who enjoys uncovering unique and nostalgic items. The variety is impressive, with antiques, old toys, vintage clothing, furniture, jewellery, and even old books. Whether you’re a collector or simply looking for retro decor, quirky outfits, or rare reads, this place has something to offer. Wandering through the store feels like a treasure hunt, though the layout can be a bit cluttered at times, making it slightly overwhelming. However, that adds to the charm—finding hidden gems feels rewarding. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable, always ready to chat about the items and their history. Overall, I’d give it 4/5. With a bit more organization, it could be even better, but it’s still a fantastic spot for anyone who loves vintage finds and old-world charm.”

“This store has an interesting variety of antiques and books. I would agree that ot is quite pricey here though.”

“Great collection of antiques, collectables and books. Spend some time...and don't fall victim to missing something special by 'not seeing the forest for the trees!'”

“I had a very distressing experience today. I not knowingly entered a staff only area downstairs. There was no obvious signage. I was accused of trespassing and the staff member threatened to take my photo and call the police. I invited her to check my bag. She said they've had lots of incidents of theft. I was treated like I was there to steal. I said I did not see the staff only sign and would not have entered the area if I had seen it. I was sorry but she continued to belittle me. I will never go there again. So upsetting. Appalling behaviour.”

“Interesting stuff they had. If you are into retro items and antiques, worth a visit when around town. Not cheap but hey they are antiques, only valued by personal taste. Spend some time and dig something out interesting.”
