I dont think its a bad price at all for somewhere you can stay all day?

Yes you’re right. Once you go in they stamp your hand then you can come and go all day.

Around the same as a cinema ticket is what is reasonable imo.

£11 isn't that steep.

Hmmm... :huh:


... the main difference being of course is that people may well return to a cinema on a regular basis to see a different film, whereas it's unlikely they will return to a museum and pay that much to see the same 'exhibits' more than once... :|

For the entry fee do you get free access to the videogames or do you still have to pay to play?

 

How many arcade machines do they have?

Over 100 according to their website. It also states ''You can leave your change at home, you wont need it here, you pay once and play all day!''

what a high price for something that failed in nottingham?,titanic comes to mind

Did it *actually* fail in Nottingham?  Sounds to me like they wanted to expand and had no space. 

 

Very good feedback on Tripadvisor too. 

 

Was it it not very good when you went?

From this it sounds like the building it was in was unsuitable and they were unable to find anywhere else...

exactly, all the 'ooh isn't it dear' and 'it'll fail' comments on here are quite frankly embarrassing.

Personally I think its in the wrong place. Castlegate area is really run down and many people don't go to that area. It would be better on the Moor

it's actually a catalyst for regeneration , along with the large tech hub in the same building. Plenty of people go to that area actually.

Exactly.

Plus its easy to say  it should be somewhere  else but the whole reason it moved from Nottingham is because they couldnt find anywhere big enough. Where on the Moor is big enough?
The more people attracted to different parts of the City Centre the better.
