  • My grandsons absolutely love this place, nowhere as cheap and more fun to waste a few hours with your kids in Halifax. We've been coming for a couple of years... read more now and they're still excited to visit. The games arcade is a huge draw for young boys, the fact that it is paid for in your entrance fee, if you want to use it, is a huge plus and you don't dread the outlay of other arcades.The entrance fee is cheaper if you don't want to go in the arcade. There is also no time limit on how long they can play for. The girls who work there are always smiley and helpful. The food is very reasonably priced and perfect for an easy lunch aimed at little people taste buds, you can also get a decent adult lunch, which is fresh and tasty. Above all, the coffee is good, tasty and hot. If you've not been, give it a go and the Parking is free . In fact the only downside is the car park, drive slowly, it's full of the biggest potholes you will ever see and swimming pool sized puddles .....
