Reminiscing about retro games? In the mood to go to a bar?
Stretch out those button-mashing fingers and get ready for the ultimate arcade experience at GameTime. This indoor entertainment center is for everyone of all ages and offers several full-service attractions like an arcade station equipped with simulators and prize machines as well as a stocked bar with seasonal favorites.
GameTime can be found in several different areas across Florida including Fort Myers, Ocoee, Miami, and Tampa with something to celebrate at each location.
If you visit the GameTime in Tampa, you’re in for a treat. Not just because of its five-lane Skee-Ball escapade or constantly-expanding sports bar menu, but also because it's one of two locations offering mini bowling! This four-lane activity was created after GameTime founders invested around $1 million into revamping the entertainment complex, which now allows patrons to knock down a few pins without having to visit a bowling alley or sacrifice a trip to the arcade.
The neon LED lighting hanging above the lanes gives you the same experience as glow-in-the-dark bowling. The newly-updated center also offers a gorgeous restaurant venue, a new audio-visual experience, and over 60 TVs to watch any and all sporting events.
If you’re a bowling enthusiast, make sure to visit the Tampa location to try out mini-bowling.
Ocoee is the other GameTime location featuring mini-bowling, and it's much larger! They have eight-lanes equipped with scoreboard screens and vibrant LED lighting so that larger groups won’t miss out on the experience. Of course, when you're done bowling, there’s a mega arcade to explore!
Each GameTime entertainment center has over 120 games to play including classics like air hockey and pinball. You can also try your hand at their Connect 4 kiosk or Key Master prize catcher.
If you’re not sure which game to start with, challenge one of your friends to a round of Space Invaders. This adventure is a space conquest where players use a plasma cannon to defeat invaders trying to take over Earth. If you do well, this game is one that can win you big tickets. As long as you and your friends like arcade games, there’s a genre for everyone!
