This underground (literally) DIY Volunteer-run art space is one of a kind and years ahead of the art world. See and play their strange, funny and surprisingly introspective artist video games built into old arcade facades. Don’t let the tough exterior deter you, the people there will welcome you and it feels like you’re with friends. Artist, gamer, or neither you should check this place out.

Ive been to a few videogame art galleries and this was by far the most fully realized. None of the games felt like throwaways, they were playful, odd, and unexpected, and the whole room had been painted (seemingly) in keeping with their exhibit at the time.My visit to Babycastles coincided with a book tour event they were hosting where really wonderful authors, poets and musicians performed against some stunning projections.Overall a really interesting place that Ill be coming back to and encouraging other people to visit.

The atmosphere at babycastles, makes you feel as though youre in a hip Y2K anime club. Very Serial Experiments Lain.Take a trip there. Great feel.

This place is amazing for anyone interested in how art and gaming come together.

Cool literally underground indie video game place with people who genuinely care about games & the people or make them, I would highly recommend stopping by one of their events if you can

A fun collection of gaming machines in an unlabelled basement, but nothing really caught my interest.

Its in the basement of the building unmarked. Call them to get access to the building

A fun little spot once you find it! Worth the stop

Only one of the weirdest, nerdiest art galleries ever. They make really cool stuff in weird mediums. Weird shows. People working on whatever theyre working on. Connected to a hacker club. Overall a cool place.

Might be hard to find. Very cozy place but I dont think it detracts from the events.

Best place to get individual lashes.

Babycastles is back, and so are my hands. Treat yourself to a babycastles some time, you deserve it.

Wordhack, hosted there monthly, is the best hack event in NY. The venue is hot though!

The people who run this spot are super cool. The quintessential New York art gallery.

A great venue for contemporary digital art! Keep an eye out for WordHack!

A consistently unusual space with performances and video games that are consistently astounding.

Went here for a fake VR exhibition which served as a mean spirited and pessimistic joke for the event runner that there is no good VR.

Very unique venue with weird stuff and friendly peeps

Nice new location

A new world for independent games
