The karaoke rooms in particular earn strong praise β€” private, well-equipped, and popular for birthday parties from age ten upwards. Staff are described as helpful and the coffee is a genuine plus for supervising parents. A reliable Nelson option for all-weather family entertainment.

β€œI booked the karaoke room for my daughters 11th birthday. The room is amazing. Lots of fun props, big comfy couches and completely private. They had a great time. The service was great, the food came out quickly and was delicious. I have forgotten the name of the lady who helped me when we got there this morning, but her service was awesome. Money well spent!”

β€œThank goodness for this place on a rainy day! Up camping and had run out of things to do and discovered it. I did feel like there needed to be more staff in the play area enforcing the rules especially to bigger kids who were very rough and also kept going in the under 3 area. The bikes were becoming a hazard too so maybe on super busy days they stay away as I saw a lot of people almost get hit with them. But overall a great place, friendly counter staff and kids had the best day and asking to go back again!”

β€œA great indoor spot however getting a little bit run down I noticed today lots of stuff is broken. The ball machine in the space area has been broken now coming up 2 years. I think places in Nelson think they can get away with it because we have limited options here but this place has no concession cards and chipmunks is way better + cheaper (just not in Nelson). Please see this as a sign to start fixing things team or you will get negative reviews and people (like us) won’t come as regularly.”
