So that experience of a cup full of paper tickets to redeem: gone. It was a clean, most games worked or clearly labeled if not in use/out of order. I like this location for the nice sized washroom (compares to other locations on Clifton Hill), and at...

Terrible customer service!!!!! I never ever saw such rude staff in Canada. I visited this place with my family and bought credits worth $111 CAD. I was not aware that they close at 2:00 am. We got there just 15 minutes before the closing time (again I was not aware they close at 2am)after spending a good time at Falls with my family. The lady at the front desk didn't tell me that they are closing ...

What a fun place! Rides, putt putt course, food, tourist shops - all the clean family entertainment you could possibly want. The best funnel cakes - this was my birthday cake! Pricey, but worth it.

Great arcade fun for Padawans, Rebels, and families alike! This spot is packed with games from every corner of the galaxy—ticket games, classic arcade favorites, and immersive titles like Halo: Fireteam Raven and Space Raider. Whether you're here to test your reflexes or rack up tickets like a bounty hunter, there's plenty to enjoy. 🎮 Game Play Costs: Most games range from 4–8 credits per play,...

This arcade is hands down our top pick for indoor fun! It's absolutely huge, with an endless array of games that just keep us playing. We could easily spend $100 per person here, lost in the excitement. It’s a brilliant destination for all ages, offering something enjoyable for both kids and adults. Whenever we're in Niagara, this is a must-visit where we'll gladly spend our money!
