Keep the kids busy these school holidays.

Whitianga has a new indoor entertainment option ideal to keep the kids occupied over the school holidays and of course, after school and at weekends.

Game vault operates seven days per week. Located on Joan Gaskell Drive (next to the Stihl shop), they have 22 arcade games (more on the way, too) where you can win tickets to convert into prizes or save them up for an even bigger prize.

Air hockey tables and glow-in-the-dark mini golf are front and centre, so there really is a plethora of options to keep kids and teens occupied. It even caters to toddlers with its’ soft play area and has the added benefit of coffee and cakes for caregivers to indulge in while the youngsters are playing.

Party deal

Another ideal offering is their children party options, which you can do self-serve or fully inclusive (including epic pizza add-ons from Forbidden Pizza). This is a great idea that gives the kids something special to do and also eliminates the hosting-at -home dilemma.

Great school holiday special “Friday Flicks & Fun”

If you show your movie ticket from Mercury Twin Cinemas over the school holidays, you can get a discount – with $5 mini golf or five free tokens with any purchase. Proprietor, Krissy Robinson, one half of the team alongside Darren Prole who operate town’s excellent mini golf course ‘Wild Wood’ says, “By supporting two local businesses at the same time such as the cinema and our arcade – you’ll be total winners!”
