About

Playdium at 1800 Sheppard Avenue East in North York is a large indoor entertainment center combining arcade games, bowling, and a restaurant. The arcade has hundreds of games from classic skee-ball to modern racing simulators. Bowling lanes work for family competition.

The on-site restaurant serves kid-friendly fare — burgers, pizza, chicken fingers. The space gets noisy and crowded on weekend evenings. Weekday afternoons offer a calmer experience.

Budget carefully — the game credit system can lead to overspending. Fairview Mall is nearby for additional options.
