We have only discovered this great place recently and have now been several times. There are several different game options. We pay £5.00 for 1 hours arcade play, which is such great value, considering normal arcades are at least a £1.00 each game. This is loaded onto a card and the relevant machines will allow you to scan and play. Other options are to pay for points being loaded onto your card for other machines that you can win tickets on. You can go through these a little quicker as each game has a different point value to them. Its great winning tickets and feeding the ticket muncher to add up how many tickets you have won, which again is stored on the card and this can then be traded in for prizes and decent ones too! Its worth also seeing what bundles they do, which can combine the hourly arcade games with the tickets games. There is an over 18's section I beleive at the back of the arcade, but I do feel the whole area is geared up great for kids (and big kids!) and in a safe environement. There is even a cafe that does light snacks, milkshakes and ice creams, although sometimes when we've been its not been open, maybe due to the time of year. Overall, I would highly recommend this arcade as its well worth the money and the staff are all so helpful and friendly.

I booked a bowling lane online for four children to bowl during 1/2 term week,as we arrived I could see they were very busy,I booked in with a lovely girl called Hannah whom explained everything clearly and even offered to put the names in the computer for us,after collecting drinks and snacks and again being served by Hannah who seemed to be a jack of all trades,we made our way down to our lane,being very untechnically minded I again had to ask Hannah for help in raising the bumper bars for the children,this was done straight away and with a smile,nothing was too much trouble for Hannah and she is a credit to your company,thankyou Hannah for making a foster carers outing so less stressful.
