Kingston's new entertainment playground officially opened its doors to the public on Friday, 12 December and saw its rooms filled with locals of all ages eager to check out the new venue.

Friday's opening followed a successful launch party of Urban Fun, which has taken over the old Wilko building, on Thursday, 11 December, welcoming over 300 guests to enjoy the venue's various games as well as complimentary drinks and canapes.

Urban Fun Kingston's games include Brunswick duck-pin bowling, AR darts, axe throwing, Neo shuffleboard, 9-hole mini golf, Subsoccer football, curling lanes and an arcade packed with UK-first machines, VR and AR experiences, cranes, prize games and boxing challenges.

On the first floor, Urban Fun Kingston boasts a large arcade room filled with the classic games you would find at any old school arcade, a fully stocked bar, and a DJ blasting all the cheesy classics perfect for a retro-style games night out.

The first floor room is also home to Urban Fun's private karaoke room and curdling track.

Down the escalator in the basement are a variety of bigger games such as bowling, mini-golf, and more as well as another bar.

Both floors are spectacularly lit up with illuminous, coloured lights making it the perfect weekend location.

Urban Fun also sells food with a menu consisting of the classic fast-food style dishes but cooked properly. I tried the Halloumi Burger and Sweet Potato Fries, and it was delicious.

The staff are incredible, eager to be on hand to help all guests and worked amazingly to ensure the opening ran smoothly even if it was packed.

Urban Fun Kingston is great for all ages with under 18s not being allowed in the venue after 9pm without an adult.

There are various ways to enjoy Urban Fun's facilities with several options of PlayCard to choose from.

You can either pre-book tickets or turn up on the day and find a spot on one of the games.

The entertainment playground also takes party bookings.
