Packed full of fun for both adults and children, the ‘Funstation’ has everything from down the clown, basketball hoops and air hockey, to newer games including Jet Ball Alley and Minecraft Dungeons.

Located in the Upper Oasis Dining Quarter, the arcade is a cashless experience where players load a contactless card with tokens and swipe it on the games they want to play.
