Arcade Club

Wow what a place. Arrived at 130 and didn't leave till 8pm, closing time. We drove from Edinburgh and it was worth the drive. Family tix for 2 adults and 2 children was £46 for the whole day. Four floors of arcades , so many from yesterday years and Japanese imports. My children were kept entertained for hours and well as the man child who was taken back to his youth. Managed to get to play on the games we were after. But I did wanted a few games on the Maimai Japanese beat game during my last hour. But it was getting hogged by some pro gamers with special gloves on. There are toilets on every floor, so no hunting needed. A well sized cafe area that sized drinks and food at a reasonable price. And plenty of free parking.

We travelled a long way to visit, and it was absolutely worth it! It definitely didn’t disappoint. The whole family had a fantastic time. We visited on a weekday, so it wasn’t too busy, which made the experience even better. The unlimited lives on the arcade games were a brilliant touch—you could just keep playing instead of losing after a few tries! 🤣 Our 7-year-old especially loved the tank game and had an amazing time. We’d definitely recommend it to other families! Is a shame they don’t have a branch down in south, otherwise it will be our top destinations trip!

This place is so amazing that I joke that when I die I want to be cremated and my ashes spread around it. Amazing variety of retro arcade machines on free play, and decent quality food (pizza, hot dogs etc) at a very affordable price. Lovely vegan hot dog too. I will definitely visit again every time I am near Manchester.

Visited the Arcade today with my 12 year old son and 10 year old daughter. Hadn't heard of it until a friend said she'd been. What a venue, if you and your kids are into gaming. In short, it is an old mill that now houses four floors worth of gaming equipment, from retro to modern era. You will find pinball machines, arcade machines, x-box, playstations, air hockey, basketball games, Japanese imports, the list goes on and on. I love gaming as well and there were some real throwbacks for me. The kids loved playing the retro games and found them very 'interesting'! You pay one price for the day (up to 6pm only for kids). It's adults only after 6pm. Great value when you compare how much you spend on arcade machines for one go! On each floor there are toilets and a bar area selling snacks, soft drinks, beer, and coffees/tea. On the fourth floor there is a restaurant that serves pizza, hot dogs, Nachos, and burgers. Fantastic price when I compare it to other locations you are at with kids that only rip you off as you are staying in their venue. These were great. We got two (good sized) margarita pizzas, a hot dog, cheese covered Nachos, a slushy and two cans of pop for approx £22. Brilliant. And it was delicious as well. I am also coeliac and they had gluten free pizza bases, so another winner. There is a large car park at the mill which was busy but I managed to find a space. That was free, another bonus. If I had to give any negatives it would be that the wait for the food was 40 mins. So order early. They do have a sign informing you of that though before you buy, so you do get warned. The food is worth the wait though 😋 The toilets are a little stinky and could do with a mop round more often, but I have seen worse. There is sometimes a wait for the best games, which is to be expected. We didn't have to wait too long and everybody was polite and considerate, not leaving people waiting for ages before they left a game. All in all, I would highly recommend amd will go back again. Great price, all day entertainment, for all ages, good food and very nostalgic!
