Discovery Arcade is decidedly more industrial than Liberty Arcade across the street, with brick walls, dim burning gas lamps and stunning ironwork. Lining the arcade, which allows access to several of Main Street's boutiques and restaurants, is a series of startling visionary artworks and artefacts, showing how the visionaries of the turn-of-the-century imagined the future to look.

Fun Facts

The Disneyland Resort Paris Main Street, U.S.A. is the only one to feature these two special covered walkways either side of the main street.  They were designed especially for the park by the Imagineers to not only ease crowd levels on the street but also provide shelter from the weather.

Early plans called for the arcades to have even more functionality, with a special, elevated, 1920s trollycar shuttling between each end of the arcades.

Discovery Arcade acts as a bridge between the turn-of-the-century American Main Street, U.S.A. and the Victorian visionary theme of Discoveryland, presenting an exhibition of posters and artefacts from great 19th Century visionaries to prepare guests for the upcoming land.
