Best places: Video arcades in England

Large, multi-level video arcade featuring classic & modern games, along with bar bites & beer.

👍 Great place for kids within budget. Go for membership. Its £9.50 pp for a month. And you can come daily in that amount. Would have given 5 star but deducted just because it doesn’t have much activities for kids less than 1.1m. Staff is really helpful, informative and hardworking.

👍👍 We visited today for nearly 7 hours and had an amazing time. I grew up in the 90s and loved the arcades so this place was absolute heaven for me. There are so many machines of different eras and genres. They were all working perfectly too, not a out of order sign in site. A shout out to the technica...

Lively neon-lit bar with a menu of burgers & cocktails, plus computer games & console booths.

👍👍 Fab cinema. Comfy seats with side tables to put your pizza and wine on while you're watching the movie. The wine is good and the pizza is fab (maybe extend the vegetarian range a little, please?) Wine+Pizza+Film=Genius The Infinity card has definitely increased how often I go to the pictures and I...

👍 Visited last week with my 4yr and husband for a stay and play session. It was £8 which was great on price but then charged another £7.50 for socks! Wow I wasn't expecting this and I wish it has said on the website because we wouldn't have visited. We were just in the area for the morning and don't l...

👍 A group of us visited F1 Arcade, as it was something a little different that we thought we would try out on a recent visit to London. It’s certainly a great place to go if you're a fan of Formula 1 racing. The atmosphere is fantastic, and it’s a very swanky venue, with a real high-end feel. I think...

👍👍 An amazing experience! After seeing the centre in various Tom Scott videos, I had to come see it for myself. There's plenty of older machines and consoles to try out, but much more impressive is the large museum area. It's somewhat hidden down a corridor but actually makes up most of the space, and...

👍 I bought my husband here for his birthday. First impressions were fantastic, Adam was very friendly and super informative. He was on hand to help us the whole time! This place is truly a wonderful experience. We grabbed a drink before we travelled from the self serve bar which is a cool concept 😎...

👍👍 So much fun. We had a brilliant time here. This is several orders of magnitude better than the Meta Quest 2 experience because you have a haptic best, headphones, mic and weapon. Very immersive and the graphics are sharp and clear. Good service from the team there and they send you a great summar...

👍👍 Great party for our 11 year old son + 11 friends last weekend. Friendly and efficient service. Our host Rob was very good with the kids and the boys really enjoyed the party. Thank you!

👍👍 Amazing visit with very friendly and helpful staff. First visit to Swindon arcades as usually go further afield to Newbury. Would definitely visit again. Lots of video game choices over 2 floors including retro Pong, Pacman and Rambo as well as pinball machines, air hockey and bowling. Definitely re...

👍 Great experience, with amazing decor, along which a whole robot which can serve you drinks. However waiting time was annoying for my first time, booked for 1:30pm and didn’t call us up until 2pm, was already tight in time. After that also had some VR Headset issues where the screen kept blurring aro...

👍👍 Myself and my fiance had a great time at VR Here last week. I booked half an hour solo playing each but easily could have spent hours playing! It's so immersive and the technology is amazing! The staff were brilliant too. Having never done anything like this before it was great to have someone there...

👍👍 Absolutely loved it. Under 5 are free!!! And they have rides for their age too. £9.95 for 1 hour is far way better than paying in pound coins. I will definitely recommend it if you pay a lot in other places like Tenpin. I am definitely going again. Thanks for bringing this game place in Farnborough

😠 Beware - they've halved the experience while charging the same amount of money due to an unexplained 'new policy' This VR experience used to be a quick go on a high rise plank game, then 30 minutes of various mini games on the HTCs. After that, it was onto the full experience for another half an h...

👍👍 What can I say! Awesome place, games are 50p a go, but all are set to max lives so that offers good value! Such a great atmosphere, and as a gamer from the golden age of arcades, just being in there with the noise from the machines was enough to take me right back to the 80's 😁 Coffee was excellen...
