CATEGORY · RAINY DAY APPROVED
Arcades, VR & Gaming in Stoke-on-Trent
Two options here, both close to the centre, and both worth booking ahead for. Pixel Busters is about four kilometres out, a free play arcade with Street Fighter cabinets, dance machines, Pac-Man and PS5s, open Saturdays with sessions you'll need to book rather than just turning up. RaceGrid VR is nearer still, around two kilometres from the centre, and it's a proper motion-seat racing rig with wind fans and over 200 cars to choose from. If you've got younger kids, Pixel Busters is the friendlier pick, with free play from £7.50 and party rooms if you're marking a birthday. RaceGrid is strictly for ages 10 and up, starting from £5, so it suits older children and adults who fancy a few laps rather than toddlers. Both are indoor, so neither depends on the weather. Book your slot before you go, especially on a Saturday.
