What visitors say
Fantastic local gem and a brilliant entertainment complex for both locals and tourists! 🎉 With the arcade, bowling, food( honestly THE nicest buger ive ever had in Scarboroug! The truffle burger is to die for), karaoke and more, there’s genuinely something for everyone and it’s easy to spend a whole day there without getting bored. The arcades are really reasonably priced, and you can win tickets much easier than before. You might not be able to buy loads with them, but that’s not really the point – it’s all about the fun, and this place delivers every time. The 2p machines are still a highlight, with lots of great prizes that actually feel winnable. I’m so happy it hasn’t gone completely cashless because the classic 2p machines are full of nostalgia and happy memories. The recent makeover has made a huge difference – everything feels fresh, modern and well looked after. The new ticket prize room is great, and the cashless arcade cards for some games and rides are really convenient, especially having your tickets stored digitally. I’ve also never had a negative encounter with any of the staff – they’re always friendly and happy to help when you need a prize getting out or a machine topping up. It’s a fantastic day out even if you only give the kids a fiver each, and the location is perfect – step outside and you’ve got the stunning beach right there. 🌊

People say theres a chance to win good prizes, I say youd be better going to the other places where they dont place little bars in the prize drop areas that stop the too big items from falling into it. Whatch it caise kids probs wont notice this shady play and just sling everything into them. Check pics to see what im saying. I won tons from other place just abit thirther down.

A fun little find on a room night stop over in Scarborough, a lot of selections and the inside AtM that lets you get coins via Contactless /.apple pay are extremely helpful. The dessert place at the back was also a VERY pleasant surprise

Had a play on the ardades downstairs and went upstairs to discover a very nice air conditioned bar and bowling. Had a few beers to cool down and then had to rejoin the others in the blistering sun.
