Mannings Amusements — Attraction in East Suffolk

Well to say that this was my second home from when I was a boy is sad to say the least. It had been some time since I had visited and to expect a change is certain however if you knew what it was and now it's shocking. Completely left behind. ZERO renovations I swear down you can't even tell if a single building has had a fresh lick of paint but that is just my frustration. now I am from Ipswich Town which is basically next door but I saw both towns equally pleasant 20 years ago but you would never believe that Felixstowe is the town with one of Europe's biggest ports. So rin down and depressing. Anyway now I need to set aside my personal opinion and it's like this if you are new and just visiting the area then by all means Felixstowe is a lovely and off-peak beautifully quiet and the beach has been looked after. Alot more stones than sand but I think they attempted to make it more comfortable. so as long as you are not making it home it could be rather lovely now what I mean by this is it isn't just the buildings that have been left behind. It has become a hive for bad banger boy racers that race narrow beach Road beeping and little kids everywhere and allot of other trouble. Also the majority demographic of the people who frequent the area are your run of the mill thugs, loud girls and all seem to be looking for trouble with every group aggressively holding their ground and waiting for a reaction. I did go on a really hot and busy day so yes that doesn't paint a complete picture but I honestly believe it's still a lovely visit for someone who...

This place is severely lacking in everything. The arcade has the usual machines, staff are uninterested and just going through the motions. The crazy golf is dark, dingy and most definitely not been cleaned. There are real dust webs and the flooring is uneven, ripped and it smells down there. Basically this used to be the haunted house back in the late 80s early 90s and they've just added some holes to the floor to make it a crazy golf place. The member of staff didn't even point us to the putters, which to be fair were behind us and you help yourself, but just a friendly sentence of 'Here's your score card, grab yourselves a ball and putters and have fun' surely isn't too much? Benefits are that it's indoors, so dry if there's rain and it's £3 each. Great fun if you're not...

I was pleasantly surprised by this arcade to be honest. They have invested in newer games (Luigi's Mansion for example), while using large amounts of floor space on Bowlingo (mini bowling) and Cody's Cabin (Mechanical shooter).

Their music games consist of Percussion Master and Dancing Stage Euromix 1. Haven't seen a Percussion Master since Trocadero closed their upstairs area in London a few years back. Dancing Stage Euromix 1 is better than no dance game by a long shot, but it would be nice to see something with more than 16 songs, like Dance Dance Revolution Extreme which has 240 songs, or even Euromix 2 at a pinch!

That being said, lots of video games and they haven't sold out on redemption. Felixstowe has good arcades and knows the value of...
