What visitors say
On a visit to Merry Hill centre, we came into here for some entertainment. We specifically bookes one of the espace room experiences. We were impressed with the escape room. It was quite immersive and the game master provided us with all the details we needed. Thr hour in the escape room went really quick and we enjoyed our time there. In terms of the other options, they have the usual plethora of arcade machines. Ive seem some ofher reviews saying the place is big. It is relatively large and has plenty of options, but there are larger “arcades” in other places, but not being from the local area to this place, it may well be one of the larger places. This place is worth a visit to while away a good chunk of time.

Carnival Golf and Games at Merry Hill is such a fun spot, it really surprised me in a good way. The whole place has a bright, lively carnival vibe with great lighting and music that makes it feel like more than just mini golf. The golf course itself is well set up, creative, and genuinely enjoyable for all ages. It’s not too easy, so it keeps things interesting, but still relaxed enough to have a laugh. Everything felt clean and well maintained, which makes a big difference. What really stood out was the atmosphere. There’s a mix of games, arcade fun, and places to sit, so it’s not just a quick in and out. You can actually spend time there and enjoy it. It’s perfect for families, couples, or even a casual outing with friends. Staff were friendly and the whole experience felt smooth from start to finish. Definitely one of the better entertainment spots around Merry Hill and well worth a visit if you want something a bit different.

What a great new venue. More relaxed and bigger than the other. No cash machines or ticket reels its all done automatically onto a card that you can save points on.. brand new arcades ive never seen before and the biggest dance mat EVER. also it has a bar with electronic darts like flight club, laser quest zone and a mini golf which is,dinosaur themed... the toys you can win are amazing too.

We visited Carnival Golf & Games at Merry Hill and had such a fun experience. It’s a really well set up indoor adventure golf with a great atmosphere; the themed courses, lighting and overall vibe make it feel really different to your standard mini golf. It’s perfect for families, couples or even a group day out. We went with a 7 year old and he absolutely loved it, lots of laughs and a bit of friendly competition! There’s also a bar on site which is a great addition. We popped in for a drink after and it was reasonably priced with really good service. The whole place felt clean, well organised and there’s plenty to do, not just the golf. Great option if you’re looking for things to do in Merry Hill or the Dudley area, especially on a rainy day. We’ll definitely be back. Reviewed by Yaz from We Are Stourbridge 💛 Supporting local businesses.
