Top Family Kids in New York

I recommend checking for happy hour deals on drinks and food before you order. You might be able to snag some good discounts!

My advice is to grab the power card bundle when you arrive. It saves you some cash compared to buying credits separately

Make sure to try the VR experiences! They were super fun and different from the normal arcade games. Don’t skip them!

Bring some cash! While they do take cards, having cash on hand for the arcade tokens speeds things up and avoids any transaction hassles.

Bring snacks and water. There aren’t many food options right near the playground, and you’ll want a break to refuel. I learned that the hard way!

Check out the game areas; they have some really fun stuff! I almost missed the giant slide. It’s an absolute must—your kids will love it!

I suggest grabbing a bite at their snack bar instead of stepping out for food. The prices were decent and saved me time, plus I could easily refuel between games!

Check out the food options there too! I thought the prices were decent for NYC, and it gave me a good break between the gaming sessions. Plus, you don't want to waste time searching for food when you're in the zone

First off, I recommend booking your tickets online. It saved me a ton of time in line, and I didn't have to worry about tickets running out. Plus, look out for any promos or package deals!

My advice is to bring cash. Some machines only take cash and it saves you the hassle of refunding whatever you load onto your game card.

I recommend going on a weekday if you can. It was pretty busy on the weekend, and we had to wait to play some of the popular machines.

I recommend checking out the shaded areas if it's a hot day. I found a nice spot that kept us cool, but I saw other families struggling in the sun without any cover.

Grab a refillable drink cup when you first get there. I found it saved me quite a bit since you can just keep refilling it all day. I didn’t realize this until after my first soda, though!
