Nice arcade.  We visited on a Sunday, when they opened about an hour earlier than the rest of the mall.  It's a large facility, and has laser tag, ice skating, and other stuff, but we mostly came just to play some air hockey and skee-ball until the mall opened.  It's not the cheapest arcade, but also not the most expensive.

Equipment maintenance is a challenge at any arcade, and it was clear that a lot of the games were in need of some attention.  Skee-ball games that don't register the holes when a ball passes, one where the coin mechanism was clearly fouled and ate a token, a bowling game where the mechanism couldn't reset the pins, video games with dim, dead, or dying displays, all the usual issues you find at cheap arcades.  However, it is a large facility, and there are lots of things that work fine, or work well enough.  We found fun stuff to do, we didn't stay a real long time, and we had fun.

This is a haul for us, but when other rinks don't have open skate, this place has it nearly all day.  I don't skate so it's just my daughter-price isn't a problem-and the great thing is I can leave her there and run  to Jockey to buy panties!  
Remember, on school holidays they will be packed with a line out the door.  If you have an Entertainment book, they have a coupon in there.
We don't do the arcade.

Nice quality ice rink, they have hockey leagues and free skate times, too. Pretty expensive, especially if you're taking a bunch of kids. A once-in-a-while outing. Also have a fun arcade, but again, not cheap.
