Reviews for Playdium in Dartmouth, NS
Two game modes. Either timed play (2 hours for $27) or credit play (different price points depending on credits purchased).... Timed play does not earn tickets for prize redemptions. This place has the standard games that you would expect to find at anarcade. Good for kids and had bites as well if you're hungry Read more
There are some fun games for sure but the price point is a little high. Kids don?t understand how quickly they can burn through... $50 worth of credits after 20 minutes of playing and not having much to show for it in tickets. This place is literally designedto get you out of their as quickly as possible. There was a time when an arcade rewarded skill with additional time. Some gamesliterally end within seconds begging you to drop another 8 credits to continue. Even virtual bowling only lasts 3 frames. Read more
There are a lot of fun games to play and a good variety of them for gamers. They also have a couple of VR rooms and a small... bowling alley. All of the games are played off of value added bracelets which can be reloaded at any time and are used for allof the attractions. We also had lunch there but I was not happy with the staff recommendation of the Shawarma Poutine. Thechicken was too heavily spiced and the sauce did not compliment the taste of the poutine itself. Also, you get points forplaying each game which is saved on your bracelet and can be cashed in at the end for ?Swag?. I would definitely go back. Read more
Absolutely impressed with this awesome arcade. Great place to spend the day. Spent 45 dollars and shared between two people.... Lasted us almost 3 hrs. Ticket or point redemption was very reasonable. I worked for a smaller arcade and wow major differencein prizes you can get for tickets. Love this place and would recommend for anybody any age. Read more
Playdium is a Good place to go for a couple hours and have some fun . They have bowling , arcade , virtual reality and a little... restaurant area . I had the pizza to eat and it was quite pricy and tasteless for what I got . Not sure I would order food againfrom here . Many other places to eat nearby . The staff are all pretty friendly . Especially one guy in the bowling area , heexplained how everything worked & had allot of information . I will return for some more games . Read more
Four of us went on a Saturday afternoon and spent around two hours sharing a $45 card. It was enough games to tire us out... afterwards, so not a bad deal to share. There were a lot of people around when we went, but everyone was wearing a mask.Difficult to social distance due to the proximity of the games and the high surface touch rate. The line up for redeeming thetickets took too long as they only allowed one or two groups in at a time to take a look at the prizes. There were a variety ofgames from racing, shooting, luck, sports, and the classics. Good for kids or adults alike. There is different areas forbowling, VR, and grabbing a quick bite while people watching. Fun place for a date or to hang out with friends / family for theafternoon. Read more
Was fun at opening or closing, too busy in the early afternoon. They ask people to wipe down games before and after but didn't... see anyone actually do it. A decent number of machines weren't working. The staff were great about switching you to another gameif one stopped working, as long as your kids are patient enough. Games ranged across the spectrum from luck to skill and thebowling alley was booked solid. Short line in the morning when they opened around 11 and a long line outside after we left,around 3. It is pricey but we got the FamJam, discounted with scene points and only used just over half for the 4 hours we werethere. So we will be able to play for a bit next time too. Find the good games that are worth your tokens, not theluck/overpriced ones, and I'll hopefully enjoy it Read more
Loads of fun even for grown-ups. Weekends are definitely packed with kids, but this place could be a fun date spot on a quieter... weekday evening. The food offered was basic but appreciated, and they even serve alcohol! On top of the huge arcade they have,there is also a small bowling alley. I was continuously impressed my first time visiting, and the staff were lovely. I willdefinitely be coming back. Read more
