πŸ† Family Action Verdict

Best for families with kids aged seven and up who want a high-energy indoor entertainment day. The sensory-friendly sessions make it accessible for children with additional needs. Plan arrival well before 20:00 to maximise family time - the energy and variety of activities keep older kids and teens engaged for two to three hours easily.

β€œMy partner and I have been coming to Archie Bros in Docklands for the past 7 years and we absolutely love it! Its always the first place we choose when we go out on dates and usually the last too( we’ll go out to dinner then come here to finish off the night) The vibe is always amazing, the games are super fun, the drinks are awesome and the staff are some of the friendliest people you will ever meet! We’ve been here with friends, family and co-workers and it is always a super fun evening, and I love the fact it becomes an over 18 venue after 8:00pm! As I mentioned before we have been coming here for a long time and saving many, many, MANY! tickets earned. Well last Saturday (valentines day) we decided to go out to dinner then end the night at Archie Bros, we have been saving up for years for one of the grand prizes worth 18,750 tickets! Last Saturday was the night we finally earned enough to claim the prize after years of saving!!! Not only were the staff super excited with us to finally see one of the grand prizes leave the case, the manager (George) made the super awesome decision to give us a free date!!!! This included 2 free games of bowling, 2 free drinks, 2 free food options & $100 added to our game card!!! We were both shocked and ecstatic! Literally the best business in Docklands / Melbourne hands down. (probably the best in all of Australia) We are soo grateful and cannot wait to come back and have many more great experiences at this fantastic venue!! Love, David & Clara”
