There’s really nothing quite like the feeling you get from an arcade. There’s nothing like the screams, cheers, and, most of the time, cries of loss from the arcade games, the bright LED lights luring you to spend your tokens, or the tickets flowing out of the game after you score a new personal best.
You just must visit Dubai’s unexpectedly large number of arcades if you’re looking for that nostalgic vibe.
GLITCH
GLITCH, located in Al Ghurair Centre, is 40,000 square feet of pure entertainment and a great place to keep busy all through the summer. There’s never anything to do here with over 30 action-packed tasks, including an indoor roller glider. Take on the obstacle course, challenge your fellow classmates to a rock climbing competition, and compete in many kinds of arcade games including air hockey, foosball, and bowling.
Play DXB
If you’re searching for a unique, immersive gaming experience, one of the best arcades to visit is Play DXB, the well-known indoor virtual reality theme park located in Dubai Mall. You must experience the VR coasters at Play DXB, like the Burj Drop and Flying Chairs. And happily, anybody may join in on the fun.
WaveHouse
You are seriously missing out if you haven’t been to Wavehouse yet. Everyone will have a great time at this restaurant, arcade, and bowling alley. The arcade, which is divided into two floors, is stocked with all the must-have amusements, including air hockey, skeeball, and pinball games. Head to the pub or restaurant for a small bite and a refreshing drink once you’ve exhausted all of your gaming options.
Dubai Bowling Center
The Dubai Bowling Centre is the epitome of nostalgia; it contains everything you could possibly want from a vintage bowling alley to a fantastic area to shoot hoops, bump automobiles, or play Deal or No Deal. They have a special deal on Monday where all games are only Dhs1.
Brass Monkey
Your one-stop store for everything fun is Brass Monkey. It’s a veritable playground for your inner kid, with a 12-lane bowling alley, a full arcade, pool tables and the newest basketball machines, car and motorcycle simulators and classic games like Pac-Man. Oh, and from 4 to 7 p.m. there is happy hour. Please be aware that only adults over 21 are welcome to join Brass Monkey.
Magic Planet
Magic Planet is an arcade that is a must-visit destination in Dubai that never lets you down. There is always an arcade nearby thanks to their presence in every City Centre. Prepare to become a professional basketball player, interplanetary spy, or race car driver by scanning your card.
777
This one is only appropriate for adults. With lights flashing and other excited older children rushing around, they appear to be having a great time. We all recognise and miss its appeal and nostalgia. Triple 7 is set to become the new adult entertainment hub, situated at the Radisson Blu Canal View in Business Bay, Dubai.
The Arcade by Hub Zero
The Arcade, the first gaming-inspired entertainment region in the area, is located in Al Khawaneej Walk. It features traditional games like Pacman and Space Invaders along with fan favourites like Justice League, where players take on the roles of Batman and Mario Kart to defend Gotham City. Additionally, you can try your luck at the ticket monster machine for an opportunity to win amazing rewards.
