A leisure centre is a journey: some visitors want a thrill, others a quick challenge, a family game or a moment to relax. Clearly defined areas help everyone find their place and make the overall offer more coherent. Here is a way to plan those areas using the product categories in Arkadia's catalogue.
Start with visitors and movement
Map the main routes through your venue: entrance, reception, major activities, waiting areas, food and drink, and exit. Identify the spaces that stand out, those that need a calmer setting, and places where visitors can stop without blocking others. Compare equipment dimensions before deciding where each machine will go. A good layout accounts for how each game is used.
Build a lively arcade area
The simulators bring driving and immersion. The shooting games offer different scenarios, in solo or head-to-head play depending on the model. For instantly familiar rules, the Sports games category brings together arcade basketball and football.
Alongside these experiences, Skill and challenge games add variety through reflexes, accuracy and strength. Quick Rush illustrates this range with a two-player game of preparing and serving drinks. The area can also include Claw and prize games when this type of game suits your visitors.
Add complementary spaces
Classic games have a place of their own: pool and table football can encourage visitors to stay longer with a different way to play. For families with younger children, the Games for young children category brings together a carousel and a mini car. Our guide explains how to plan a children’s play area and connect it with other activities.
A relaxation area can also serve parents and accompanying adults. The massage chairs are one option for this space. Our article on the relaxation area looks at placement and the customer journey.
Adapt the selection to your venue
There is no universal mix. Compare the available space, visitor numbers, waiting times and how new games complement your existing activities. Our guide Which games can bring new energy to a leisure centre? explores this choice in more detail. You can also browse Arkadia’s 33 products then tell us about your project for a tailored selection.
