Sun City Amusements Arcade Ingoldmells

Sun City Amusement Arcade sits in a prime spot at the end of Sea Lane, making it the closest arcade to the Ingoldmells beach. Its long, open-plan frontage features a spacious foyer filled with eye-catching games to help distract people heading to and from the seafront. An adult gaming area with its own entrance is located at one end of the building, with additional doors at the other. 

Outside, the brick-weave pavement provides easy access for scooters and wheelchairs, with the venue being on one level. At the rear of the venue, visitors can find a four-lane Bowlingo alley and a large prize shop & change kiosk occupies the central area, displaying a huge range of prizes in multiple glass cabinets. 

Children’s Arcade Games

The foyer boasts a wide range of different arcade games with many kiddie rides including dune buggies, horseys, rocketships, and even a rotating VW camper called Wave Patrol. These provide the perfect photo opportunity for little ones and further inside even more can be found, including race cars, helicopter, Bob the Builder Digger, tea cups, a waltzer and two mini carousels. There are many other great games suitable for pint-sized players, so be sure to explore the arcade to discover even more.
