The cashier happily exchanged the multiple Pound coins from the machine into notes for us.

It was in decline,…read moregetting boring, nothing new, and nothing exciting, it use to be a good place to be silly and have whole hearty fun. I would visit a few times, and the new machines just didn't tempt me. So when I say my most recent Namco station visit came at a surprise, it really did. It had bigger, newer and cooler machines, designed to capture fun for all groups and ages. It almost reminded me back to when I first visited Namco station. I love the giant size connect 4, and the dodging laser beams. Overall I had a great time, something different and best possible way to kill time.

Came from London to play some Laser Tag because it was so much cheaper than any where in London…read more(less than £10 for two 20minute games!). The arena was awesome, spacious and no frills laser tag gaming. Set inside an arcade with bowling, pool and junk food stalls. No illusions about this place, it's full of screaming kids on a weekend but the laser tag was monumentally ace. Well worth the trip if there is a big group of you wanting to save a bit of cash.

Our son is just getting to the point where the indoor soft-play thing is becoming interesting, so…read morewe were keen when we were invited to a friends' second birthday party here at the Big Apple. Our time was only spent in the indoor soft play area, so if you're looking for a review of the lazer tag, bowling, or game arcade, you'll have to wait for some other Yelper to get to the Big Apple. In general, the play area was fun, for him, but there were a number of items that I found less than ideal. 1. Heat! It was so damned hot in the play area, we were all sweating. Now this was a party with 18 families, so it appeared it was nowhere near it's capacity, but still, everyone, without exception, complained about the lack of ventilation. 2. Disrepair. Mostly, things were in pretty good shape, but a number of things were kind of jerry-rigged with zip ties and duct tape. No single thing caused me great concern, but the sheer quantity of places where I saw these things made me wonder if a little more rigorous maintenance wasn't in order. I'm sure the wear and tear on such play things is massive, but for the amount they charge, I expected more quality to be honest. 3. Non-slidey slides. The biggest coolest-looking slide was, in fact, a dud! There's a slide that goes from the upper level of the play area down to the bottom where the parents were generally hanging out. This makes a total descent of some 4-5 meters. How cool is that??? Not much, it turns out. Kids were constantly having to scoot themselves down. One lucky parent was wearing the right fabric to make her slide down well, but everyone else was forced to self-propel. 4. I don't mark down for this, but the food served to the kiddies was the usual breaded-fried-potato-waste-on-a-stick. De regueur for such party places, they won no stars in our book because none of it met our child's dietary requirements (gluten-free). We never expect this, though, and always bring our own. My wife and I found ourselves the inevitable schadenfreude when we realized that our child's meal was way healthier than any of the other children! Looking at the heat, and the disrepair, I can't imagine a full-capacity weekend, where there are wall-to-wall kids.

Had to call over the employee at least three times (saw others doing the same for other games). For the broken games the employee couldn't fix them (ex. air hockey) the employee couldn't fix them.

Las Vegas was fun! I grew up in Germany during The 80s and 90s and where I lived arcades such as…read moreLas Vegas were the only source of entertainment for some. My boyfriend grew up in a bucolic small New England town that had an arcade by a lake that was the towns only source of entertainment and hang out for the kids. So coming here was nostalgic and brought back a lot of memories and we had an absolute blast here! Whenever I or we come to London, we make sure Las Vegas is something we have pre-planned and set aside some time for. My previous trip to London we came here no less than three different times because there was simply -that- much fun to be had. They care about their machines and they care about the people coming there. For the amount of people the come through here, it's exceptionally clean Las Vegas isn't just the best arcade in London, I've traveled across Europe and beyond and Las Vegas really sets the standard and is by far the best arcade around. I only my corner of the world (Rhode Island) would have a place like Las Vegas.

A must for anyone interested in old fairgrounds and amusement arcades, Brighton's Penny Arcade…read moreMuseum is a small arcade housed in one of the arches on the sea-front. A few minutes walk from Brighton Pier, it's also a great place to take kids for half an hour's fun. There's funny mirrors that make you look taller, shorter and fatter and over 50 vintage penny slot machines. Since most of the machines were manufactured between 1895-1950 some of them seem to break down occasionally but most of them are in good working order. There's strength machines that test your endurance, fortune tellers that predict your future and love life and quirky machines like What The Butler Saw. For £1 you get 7 old pennies to play whatever machines you like. The arcade is open every day from 12am-6pm Easter til September and fine weekends in the winter. If you're planning to make a special trip, it's worth phoning to check.

This is a great break from beachlife and a true homage to the path that laid the way for xboxes and…read moreplaystations. Set in the King's Road arches and slap between the piers, you will find the museum. Inside are a wide range of truely oldschool arcades and eccentricities from the late Victorian era to the mid Twentieth Century. I especially find the 'What the Butler Saw' machines funny. I also like that they give you large old pennies to play, rather than have converted the machines to take contemporary currency. I'm sure a number of these end up leaving the arcade as souveniers, so I suppose they have them made to order or something! You are unlikely to find all the machines working at any one time, but there will certainly be at least £2-£3's worth of pennies to play with. The only thing I missed not being present was an old style automated organ or some 'traditional' snacks to buy. Certainly a fun way to spend a few quid doing something a little different.

The largest amusement arcade on London road, Nobles Amusements is not one of the wonderlands that I…read morealways imagine arcades to be. You know the ones. Like in American films with hundreds of amazing quarter hungry machines of sound and light, with meandering crowds of laughing crowds... Nobles is on the other hand the other kind of Arcade, the more acceptable adult kind filled wall to wall with gambling machines. They host fast paced bingo games here too so that you can have a bit of variety in your gambling habits if you so desire. Strangely you also walk through here to get to a tanning salon upstairs, but I like my pasty white complexion just the way it is, so I stayed clear of there. In all honesty I won't be coming here again, just because I don't get fruit machines even when they're in sociable spaces like pubs.

The box that we played in was fantastic and the screens were excellent and really interactive. There are four different games included in the Alien Aptitude experience and every single game was so fun to play! Each game was so thoughtfully designed . The rules for each game was explained clearly and presented in a way that wasn't overwhelming. We had such a great time and the time goes so quickly! The gif at the end is so fun to make as well! Thank you so much to Immersive Gamebox for giving us an A+ experience and we cannot wait to return for many more happy memories. I would highly recommend visiting Immersive Gamebox.

Like all other pre-teens and teens, they love to game. I joined them during the gaming session, which was about 1.5 hrs for both games, Tetris and Squid Games! Note that you will be moving around your space quickly. Jumping, stepping forward, backward, side to side, and toucing the walls as you play. You will get thirsty. No problem! They offer drink order and delivery to the room where you have a shelf to keep your drinks. Personal items: You can not keep on the floor or room with you. They will get in the way. No worries. They provide free lockers. It has been 2 days, and we are still talking about the fun we had there. Tried to get another trip in but may miss out. However, I learned there is one in Los Angeles, Ca. Will absolutely make the drive up from San Diego, Ca, (~2 hours) to play again! Thanks for the amazing family memories!

Love arcades, radio controlled cars, love racing, love being competitive then go and play this…read moreaddictive, fast-paced and entertaining racing challenge at the Four Thieves pub in London. Me and my friends all played this outrageous track upstairs in a pub racing again each other. Firstly you pay your money and then register to get your driving licence which is quite fun you can use a fake name and you can even take a photo of yourself to add to it. You then get a print out. Now you go and choose your car / driving seat (which was like a driving seat) with a steering wheel that you could adjust to bring nearer yourself. You then place your made up driving licence under scanner to get started. The cars are very detailed and robust. Thank goodness they were robust as I kept on crashing my car and going backwards and sideways buts that's just because anything to do with cars I am useless. It was a great laugh though and everyone else seemed to be driving ok just not me, Really good fun and great atmosphere upstairs and downstairs in the Four Thieves. The car racing was definitely a great way to end the night.
