  We spent a happy 3 hours here celebrating my husband’s 42nd birthday. We had a 4 year old and 6 year old with us. I wasn’t sure it would be... read more suitable for such young children but actually it was fine. I don’t think I would have enjoyed it so much with a 3 year old but a 4 year old was just about ok. I was more worried about the children ruining the games consoles by being rough with them but I think they were old enough to be gentle. So I mostly looked after the children whilst my husband enjoyed all the games consoles from his childhood and youth. He really loves that sort of thing and we have a garage full of similar consoles at home albeit not connected up to any monitors. So it was like home from home for him. Meanwhile I managed to navigate all the consoles with the children even though there were no instructions about which buttons did what - with a bit of trial and error we generally worked it out. Whilst I probably know more about video game consoles than the vast majority of my female friends, I’m no expert and I was a bit worried I would be flummoxed by all the different games but it all worked out fine.

There were snacks and drinks on sale which I was necessarily anticipating so you could even manage lunch there if you didn’t mind not having a massive choice of sandwiches etc. There was a chill out area with sofas where you could eat and drink. The whole place was very relaxed and the staff weren’t looking over our shoulders the whole time waiting for us (ie the children) to ruin their consoles. They were on hand to help though if you had any questions, no matter how silly. I particularly enjoyed the pin ball machine - it’s lovely to be able to play it over and over again without having pay each time. There were also several big arcade machines where you sit and drive with a steering wheel, and also some virtual reality games where you wear a headset. This wasn’t suitable for my children as the headsets were too heavy for them but they enjoyed watching their dad using the VR.

There were toilet facilities on site and parking was fine - it didn’t look like parking would ever be a problem really although maybe it sometimes gets busier? We turned up at midday on a Sunday in February and it wasn’t too busy or too quiet. It was just right. There were other children there too, some of whom were similar ages to ours. Overall we all had a great time and will definitely be going back.

My docile daughter's favourite was a bloodthirsty killing game that we couldn't get her away from!

  This was just a fantastic experience from start to finish. We spent 3 and a bit hours there fully immersed in the different consoles available and arcades, of which there... read more were many. My autistic son felt at ease and for us that is rare. They understood his needs and when he got a bit excited and noisy didn't have any issues with it.

The people who run this place are so knowledgeable and are happy to answer any questions or queries. When my son asked if they had a specific game they made it appear instantly.

My husband was very impressed that they held a rare console, and the guys were happy to talk him through some fun facts about it and even let him hold it.

The library was extensive and had it not gotten busier I think we would have spent even longer there easily (son doesn't do well in crowds).

Id absolutely recommend to everyone. We cant wait to come back.
