How Couple-Friendly is The Beachouse?

View Map

What makes it 75% Couple-Friendly: Mini golf, dodgem cars and gelato café suit playful dates, but crowds of families and loud arcade limit intimacy, so it is fun but not deeply romantic.

Great place for a fun time with your kids. Make sure to take swimming gear. Great water slides and awesome people around who are extremely helpful and friendly. The bites there are nice but I found them a bit expensive compared to outside. Underground parking available at a price.

Kids had a lot of fun at The Beachouse. Great idea with combination of water slides, arcade games and carnival type games. Many packages to choose from so best to research before you arrive. Parking is steep in cost so if you can street parking outside the venue, it could save you some $

A brilliant weekend for the kids with lots of laughter. Parents can also join in many games. The space is quite comfortable with great customer service. Always happy every time we come here with our children, because we see them happy.😄😄😄 Update: Again, we had a fantastic weekend with the kids, filled with laughter & fun. The customer service was friendly & welcoming as usual.
