Indoor Family Entertainment in Rocky Mount
The arcade is just the beginning. Game Day was designed to bring together a variety of attractions, ensuring that every family member has something they’ll love.
Climbing Wall Adventures
For kids who like a challenge, the climbing wall is a favorite. With different routes catering to various skill levels, climbers can start small and gradually work their way up. Parents love it because it builds confidence and strength, while kids love the rush of reaching the top.

Ballocity Soft Play Area
Little ones deserve their own space, too. The soft play area is a safe, colorful space packed with foam elements, slides, and interactive features. Parents appreciate that younger children aren’t left out of the fun.
