Machines are not overpriced like some arcades across the country. A good selection aswell. Some good prizes too!

My boys love a trip to Herne Bay. It is one of the best coastal destinations in the UK, in my opinion.

We absolutely loved it here. My daughter had so much fun. She played on loads of the machines, the staff were very friendly and helpful and the place was clean. Will definitely go back. There was parking directly opposite too.

Had the best time ever here after so many years of not being to an arcade! Thoroughly enjoyed ourselves! We had planned to be there for 30 mins max but ended up spending 3+ hours here! 2p machines were great! The tickets kept on coming and we went home with a lot of goodies which made it so worthwhile!!! I’d definitely recommend this place to everyone!

Had so much fun here. Got absolutely mugged off by a 2p machine tho, kept flicking my coins all over the place, a few even went into the machine next to mine and knocked them down, luckily there wasn't anyone on it so i claimed it as mine, which technically it was. The beach is just right outside and it's just and all round nice place.
