The annual Electronic Entertainment Expo is a chance for the gaming press and industry to get an early peek at some of the best games of the coming months. But E3 also serves as a sort of video game-based theme park, with colorful and entertaining booths designed to grab attendee attention. That has become even more true in recent years, now that the show floor is open to the public, which is looking for more than just a tired old trade show.

This year's E3 show floor delivered plenty of eye candy, from statuary designed for selfie photo opps to classic gaming oddities from the Videogame History Museum exhibit to some truly out there product ideas hiding in the back rows of the hall. Check out the above gallery to get a feel for what it was like to spend a week in video game wonderland.
