★★★★★Featured review by Master BD

Modern day arcades, no more change. Great idea using digital cards, you top up and then later spends on toys. Takes away the excitement waiting for tickets, but in Time that will be a memory of the past. Good selection of arcade games, bowling and more. Busy at times. Toilets in house. Great staff members to help and advise. We spent ÂŖ65 party of 4. Good fun. No foods or snacks. Would have been nice to have a coffee machine, popcorn machine or bowl of fruit for adults to chill whilst kids play. Located in the corner house, within Cineworld etc. Enjoy, hadoooken.

🏆 Family Action Verdict

Best for children aged 5 and up who want a full modern arcade session with bowling and VR. The digital card system removes the friction of counting tokens, and staff are particularly helpful with instructions for children and visitors with mobility issues. Plan around the lack of food — arrive having eaten or combine with a nearby restaurant.

â„šī¸ What to Know Before You Go

💡Load more credits than you think you need — prize redemption games consume credits faster than action games
⏰Dress in light layers as the venue gets noticeably warm inside
đŸŽŸī¸Staff are proactive about helping children understand games — don't hesitate to ask
🚗Combine with Cineworld or nearby restaurants since no food is available on-site

“Came for a visit with my children yesterday. It was great excellent value for money, clean and tidy, a wide variety of machines and games to keep them entertained. They played bowling too. I have mobility issues and the manager was very helpful and kind enough to show my children how the game worked. Thank you”

“Had a really fun time today! Amazing games, and even lovelier staff. ♡ The machines were down for a couple of minutes, and they gave us a free turn on the bowling! Jermaine was absolutely lovely and gave us a 2nd free game on the bowling, too! Definitely recommend going.”

Overview

Funstation uses a tap-to-play digital card system — load credits at kiosks, play video games, carnival games, and VR attractions, then redeem accumulated points for prizes. Highway 66 mini bowling is a consistent highlight. No food or drinks are sold on-site. The venue is located in Corner House adjacent to Cineworld and can get warm, particularly during busy periods.
