Wonderland N1 City Mall

When I hear the words N1 City Wonderland, a huge smile crosses my face and I begin to giggle. This place is filled with memories. Ranging from being a toddler, running around with my parents chasing me, as I find my favorite game which still remains the same the tramping spider game. From teenager memories of heading there with my best friend, meeting up with guys for what we aka teenage brains assumed was dates hahahahaha, ofcause not letting out parents know this. From later in life heading there with my human having him spin the big wheel and winning a 1000 tickets and thereafter handing out tickets to the kids running around. This place bring back your inner child. I never had bad memories here, expect for when I nearly broke the light above the pool table, while pretending to be a master at pool playing hehehehehe. Heading back in 2021 to see where it is safe to head to while we live in a global pandemic, I was surprisingly disappointed. Yes there is sanitizing and temperature checks before heading into Wonderland. But there is no one who walks around spraying sanitizing on pool sticks once games are done, or on game handles, or balls of the basket ball game or even the balls of the bowling game. For someone with a comorbility it was scary thinking that kids are heading here without these precautions in place. If it is not practical to have someone walking around sanitizing it. Then have more sanitizing stations closer to games so that parents and kids can sanitize before heading to a new game. Lastly I was disappointed by the fact that my favorite game was clearly faulty but there was no 'out of order' sign on it. Please have this fixed. Its the three tramping spider games. The buttons you need to step on does not light up on the firtherest two machines. Made me waste 4 tokens before realizing this. And the token price WOW!! R2.00 per token is ridiculous. I do understand that Wonderland needs to make the money they lost during the hectic lockdown levels. But increasing prices to the extent where kids or adults cannot actually enjoy themselves, will mean that you have less foot traffic or you will have people come but they won't stay long due to games being way to expensive to enjoy.

Really fun place to just kick back and have fun! Try everything there once if possible!

If you wanna keep your kids busy for hours while you have a beer at John Dory's, Wonderland is the perfect destination for a Saturday morning. Kids will be exhausted by the time you leave so they'll go straight to bed when they get home

My go to hideout place with my kids...so far the best Games Place i have ever been amongst the rest.Also a bit cheaper than the other places.Mantainance stuff always on the ball,the cleaning stuff always around doing their thing.i need a 10Stars option on this place:Kudos

Great place for kids to have a plethora of fun. Kids loves it.

Fun experiences. Loads of games for kids and adults too. Good place to go to.

Have not been there for long time played some pool with friends had fun maybe bring own pool sticks . But ones there are not all too bad . Fun place at low price

Had a great time but what happened to the aircon? Was sweating like a pig within the first few minutes I got there, with all the machines and bright lights it's bound to get very hot very quick in there. No food or drinks allowed inside but I kinda expected that but if you're not gonna be allowed to take some cold drinks inside then atleast get proper ventilation or airflow going! With all that said I'd still go again for a fun night but if they can sort out their air-conditioning I'd most certainly make it my place of choice when taking the kids out again.

Wonderland is quite a nice area for kids to play. Compared to other arcades Wonderland is clean and relatively safe. It is, however, hard for adults or caretakers to supervise at times as there is no seating. The two beverage vending machines only accept R1 coins which means you will probably need to exit the area to get refreshments elsewhere or make change. Furthermore, as with other arcades, the tickets don't really translate to much winnings, so younger children may be disappointed unless you are willing to spend a fortune. Also not advisable for children with autism or epilepsy as there are bright flashing lights and loud noises. Other than that it is a nice experience.

So many different games to choose from for all ages! Only 50 ppl allowed at a time so its not overly crowded either. All games get sanitized by staff almost instantly.
