Things to do in Melbourne, Victoria: The Best Game & Entertainment Centers

January 29, 2022 Brandee Mangan

Lovely, laid-back Melbourne has something for everyone: family fare, local and international art, haute boutiques, multicultural dining, Australian and Aboriginal history, spectator sports, and pulsing, swanky nightlife. Cruise on the free City Circle Tram loop to check out unique attractions like the Royal Botanical Gardens and the Healesville Sanctuary, which buzzes with local animal species.

The place is great with high walls and lots of choices. The staff were great and provide good support and observation. If it is busy then it can take a while for them to be able to provide the safety briefing. But when that is done you are free to roam! Some great walls with a good variety of options.

Was my first experience playing VR. It was really fun! We played the mission “The Prison”. Was difficult, but Mick helped us through. Friends and I agree that it was an awesome experience and we will definitely come back

Strike Bowling is an amazing place to hang-out with friends, families and workmates. It offers a variety of games to play like bowling, puzzles, giant connect four and escape room. It's a bar as well. While playing, you enjoy MTV's and drinks. It is affordable especially when you come in groups. The staff is easy to talk to, and open to haggling. Highly recommended.

Cat Cafe Melbourne

Australia's first cat cafe! Cat Cafe Melbourne is where you can get your cat and coffee fix at once. We have 20+ beautiful cats that you can pat and socialise with while enjoying a coffee and snacks. We are split over two floors with a relaxing lounge area on the ground floor and a cafe set-up on the first floor. The cats have their own internal staircase and move freely between the two floors. Please note we have an age restriction of 8 years over only and wheelchair access is restricted to the ground floor as we only have stairway access to the first floor.

If you are a cat lover you will love this place. We opted for the 1 1/2 hour package, which included a drink, gift pack and cat treats. The cafe is on two floors and there is plenty of seating to enjoy watching and stroking the felines. Having the cat treats was a bonus as the cats love having the snacks. My only criticism is that no one monitors you as although most people adhere to the rule not everyone did. Saying that, loved this place.
