“I was so excited when I saw the amount of selection of games and activities they had to offer. They are also placed in a very nice location where you can step in and out at will and also park you car care free. Everyone there was very welcoming and helpful, 100% recommend anyone to give this place a go.”

“A dream of an arcade. Such fun, and an absolute bargain. We visited on a Saturday and stayed about five hours. There's nowhere else where you get that amount of entertainment for the price. Initial D and House of the Dead: Scarlet Dawn were the highlights, but there was so much on offer. Amazing.”

“Very cool place with friendly staff. A number of the machines weren’t working, but there are still plenty of games to choose from so it didn’t ruin the experience. The dance machines tend to be busy and often taken over by the same groups. I’m not really a rhythm gamer though, so it wasn’t a big issue for us. One downside was the men’s toilets - there’s no door on the toilet cubicle, which means if you need to use it properly there’s no privacy at all.”

Overview
FreePlayCity stocks a large selection of imported Japanese arcade machines alongside classic titles, covering competitive fighting games, dance and rhythm machines, racing simulators like Initial D, and light-gun games including House of the Dead: Scarlet Dawn. Entry covers unlimited play. The entrance is unmarked - look for a small door within a large coloured bay door. Some machines go out of service periodically. Cleanliness is inconsistent according to some reviews.
