Black Bunny opens Al Quoz arcade with year-long free play

Black Bunny, a new indoor amusement park in Al Quoz, opens on 11 October at 10 am. The space packs 45+ arcade machines, VR experiences, a trampoline park, soft play, bowling and more. The hook is simple: the first 100 people through the door get unlimited arcade games for a full year. If you like flashing lights, tickets, and mild bragging rights, set an alarm.

What is Black Bunny?

An all-ages, indoor, neon-lit entertainment hub with arcade classics and modern VR, plus trampolines, soft play, mini go-karts, climbing, bowling, billiards and a café. It started in Surat, India (2022) and this is its first UAE location.

Origin: launched in 2022 in Surat, India
First UAE venue: Al Quoz, Dubai
Vibe: street art, murals, and a tuxedoed black bunny mascot
Pay model: top up a Black Bunny card and play

Black Bunny positions itself as a one-ticket-wins-the-weekend kind of place. The Dubai site leans on moody lighting, murals and a cheeky mascot scattered across the space. You load credit onto a play card and work your way through a maze of retro and modern cabinets, carnival machines, and interactive bits. It’s built for families, teens, and that friend who still talks about high scores like it’s a personality trait.

Opening day and the year-long free arcade offer

Doors open Saturday, 11 October at 10 am and run to 11 pm. The first 100 guests get unlimited arcade games for one year. The offer is for arcade play, not every single attraction.

Date: Saturday, 11 October
Time: 10 am to 11 pm
Offer: first 100 people get unlimited arcade games for 12 months
Tip: arrive early; expect queues

Yes, it’s a strong launch gimmick. Unlimited arcade games for a year is generous, and it will go fast. The fine print isn’t spelled out here, so assume “arcade” means the cabinets and ticket games, not climbing walls or trampolines. If you want a shot at the free year, be there before doors open. Bring water, patience, and a backup plan in case you’re guest number 101.

Games, rides and zones: what’s inside

Across two levels you’ll find arcade and VR on the ground floor with soft play and mini go-karts for little ones. Nearby are an indoor climbing wall and a big trampoline park. Upstairs adds an 8-lane bowling alley, two billiards tables and a laser tag arena coming soon.

45+ arcade and carnival machines
VR experiences, including a VR rollercoaster
Soft play jungle gym and mini go-karts
Indoor climbing wall
Trampoline park with slam-dunk zones and dodgeball courts
8 bowling lanes and 2 billiards tables
Laser tag: opening soon
Café: coffee, pizza and sweets

The ground level is your noisy core: arcade classics, modern ticket machines and a VR corner headlined by a rollercoaster sim. Families with younger kids get a colourful soft play and a mini go-kart track. For older kids and adults, the climbing wall and trampoline park add movement that isn’t just wrist flicks and button mashing. Upstairs, bowling gives groups a longer session option and the billiards tables are an easy cooldown. Laser tag is listed as “coming soon,” so file that under future reasons to return.

Who should go, and how to plan it

Families, casual gamers, birthday groups and friends after an indoor plan with variety. Plan for peak-time crowds on launch week. Top up the play card in one go to avoid queues.

Best for: families, school-age kids, teens, casual gamers, group hangouts
Launch week: busier than usual
Practical: charge the card once, set a budget, wear grippy socks for trampolines
Parents: café overlooks soft play for an eye-on-kids setup

If your crew needs more than just screens, this ticks the boxes. You can switch between short arcade bursts and set-piece activities like bowling or trampolines to keep everyone engaged. Keep expectations realistic on opening weekend. Card top-ups and popular machines will have lines. You’ll get more out of it if you plan a sequence: start with arcades, book bowling in the middle, finish with trampolines to burn the last energy reserves.
