1 / 3StarCity
📍 Nechells, West Midlands
Large entertainment complex in Nechells with Vue cinema across multiple screens, laser tag, extensive arcade games, funfair rides, and a wide range of restaurants including McDonald's. Free parking on site.
Our main going place for watching movies and arcades for the kids. We also visit various restaurants here and it’s got a good range of hot food venues to dessert places. I’d recommend booking movies online in advance and the experience has always been good here. I’ve been coming here to watch movies from the days before I got married which makes it around 20 years ago with mates and family - even from my first cinema movie that one my uncles brought me and my brother to - to watch the first X Men movie. And now we watch movie as a family with my wife and boys or sometimes just the 2 of us.
🏆 Family Action Verdict
Best for families with children of all ages who want multiple activities without moving between venues. The cinema, arcades, and laser tag combination suits a range of ages well. Free parking removes one variable on a family outing. Budget for the full range of activities as costs accumulate across the day.

“This is a lovely place to visit for a fun day out as a family. We went to vue which is nice but not as good as other cinemas. Needed abit of a clean and our screen (screen 25) had broken seats too so lots of empty slots. We were the only group in this screening so had it all to ourselves! Zauq is our go to place to eat. The kids love a good buffet and they never fail to impress! Laser battles can do with refurbishing, but it's the kids favourite place to go and us parents also join them in the arena!”

“This is a great place to come to spend a few hours. We went to the VUE cinema which was nice and clean. There's also little funfair rides too which was nice to see. Plenty of arcade games inside as well and lots of places to eat and drink.”
