Arcade Club Blackpool

Oh what a joy this place is! If, like me, you find modern arcades chock full of grabbers and gamblers then this is for you. I loved the trip back to my youth with the rows and rows of vintage machines - Turtles, Simpsons and R-Type in particular - and will be going back there ASAP. Highly recommend this heady hit of nostalgic feels. What a find!

Blown away by this place. After having heard good things and seen lots of advertising on social media and on banners into Blackpool I thought it was time to bring our 12 year old daughter who is mad into games. From seeing the info on the website, the imagery online and the ease of access to all info required I felt stress free coming down. From a business owner myself, I can see a lot of work has been done creating a polished product that’s consistent from the initial look of the brand down to the actual physical business itself!Plenty of parking when you arrived and well marked out. The team on the front desk were friendly and enthusiastic (Andy I think he was called). The pricing is spot on for something like this encouraging you to get a monthly pass. The sheer amount and variety of games on offer was incredible. After 3 hours we still hadn’t got through half of what was available. I was loving the classics from my childhood like house of the dead and golden ace whilst my daughter was enjoying the rhythm games that were really modern.I have to admit the attention to detail right the way through really impressed me. The pictures on the wall, the decoration, names of some of the pizzas, even the toilet seats had video games on them.Can’t fault anything apart from not being as good as I used to be at some of the games but that’s down to me. We’ll be back!

We went on Thursday when they had the half price deal on. Entry for 5 kids and 1 adult was £35, and food for us all came in at £30. £65 for 6 people to play for 3.5 hours and eat in this day and age is amazing. The place has roughly 200 arcade machines, and in our time there I manged to play around half of them. They have a nice range of vintage early - mid 80s stuff to some more modern things. The kids had an absolute riot, and given that most of my group were slightly older, they could be left to roam freely and meet up later, as the venue is located up stairs so no direct access to a carpark if a little one run off, they do not watch your kids for you, and is by no means as secure as something like a wacky warehouse, but if your kids are old enough and sensible enough, you can take place in the restaurant area at the top of the stairs and ensure they have not left the building. I have attached photos of the food, as the pizza and burgers were delicious and again great value at 4 and 6 pounds respectively. Would definitely recommend, but be sad to do so, as I can see this little gem becoming very popular and visiting times for future visits being hard to come by.

I went to Arcade Club in Blackpool a couple of weeks ago and the place is really good and has alot of arcades from the 80s to the 90s games such as the classic pacman, street fighter 2 and also Japanese arcade machines also it has console and PC gaming. I've been to Bury and Leeds arcade club before and this arcade club in Blackpool is the smallest one out of the 3 much less arcades compare to the one in Bury and Leeds. The other good thing is it has its own family restaurant area good for a family day out.The entry fee is £16.£1 cheaper than the one in Bury and Leeds. Smaller and less arcades compare the one in Bury.Good experience and you can stay as long as you want until it closes.

Yes yes yes a truely magical place where a time traveller has secreated his collection of old skool arade machines, a day is not enough to stay here love it and long may it last

We all loved it here and can't wait to go back. A reasonably priced day out too. No food or drink is allowed to be brought into the building but there's a bar\cafe that sells food and drinks that don't break the bank and are tasty too. Parking is free too. It's pretty loud if you're sensitive to noise so maybe bring some ear plugs.

What a fantastic place. Every kind of retro game you can think of pretty much, as well as a lot I'd never seen before. Modern consoles too for those that want them. Food and drinks are very reasonable. Everyone has had a great time. We didn't quite use our full 6 hours but we weren't far off. Absolutely brilliant. We will be back.

My girlfriend and I visited as we were looking for something interesting to do this weekend. We both had a great time and couldn't believe how quickly the day went by! I thought the price of entry was really good value for money and the food and drink was reasonably priced. The staff I spoke to were all very friendly and helpful. I hope to come back again in the near future!

Wow what a find; have not stopped telling people about this place since we visited. One price; all machines free! Also there is a room full of games consoles (Xbox, PlayStation). Like a casino for kids; we entered in the daylight and left in the dark. As long as you keep your wristband on you can come and go all day!
