Took my kids to Power Up and they tried a bunch of the activities - VR, drones, battle bots and gel blasters. kids learned quickly how to use the technology thanks to the helpful staff. This was the first experience for some of my kids in using this technology and they loved it! Lots of fun for the whole family for those who are new and those who are more experienced in gaming.

Awesome place! Played gel blasters with my kids and had the most incredible time! Kids were engaged and entertained, was so nice to see all the smiling faces! :) Will be back with the extended family very soon!

Nice place to play arcade games, came here on a weekday so it was pretty empty, I like all the STEM stuff though...

We spent more than a couple of hours of hi-tech, state-of-the-art fun at Power Up Arena. There are so many attractions to test your skills and really great for school-age children and up. The drone flying obstacle course is fantastic and the gel blasters and virtual reality game were their favorites! The best day to visit is on a Sunday when the mall is only open for entertainment and food because there is less crowding and plenty of parking.
