Walk into a maze of more than 90 arcade games at Playdium, from Mario Kart and basketball shootouts to bowling, racing simulators, and classic arcade machines. Whether you’re stopping in for a few games or spending your evening here, it’s an easy place for groups, families, and friends to settle in and play.
What to See and Do
Try arcade racing games like Mario Kart, test your reflexes on basketball games, hop onto motorcycle and snowboarding simulators, or team up in multiplayer arcade shooters, or spend time trying a mix of newer interactive games and classic arcade-style favourites.
As you play, you’ll collect tickets on select games that can be redeemed at the prize counter, where shelves are lined with plush toys, novelty items, candy, electronics, board games, and other rewards.
The facility also includes six bowling lanes, with large screens throughout the space showing sports and live events while you play.
When it’s time for a break, the canteen serves burgers, pizza, poutine, mini donuts, milkshakes, and other quick snacks, along with beer, wine, and hard seltzers for adults.
