Be it for birthdays, Christmas or a club outing, the staff will make sure everyone has a blast! On weekend mornings and after school,Megazone runs open sessions especially for children, giving parents the opportunity to relax with a coffee on one of the cafe’s sofas and watch the action on screen. While children’s snacks are included in the laser session fee, the menu has been revamped in recent weeks and has a range of freshly prepared options. SEN sessions launched in October and run the first Sunday of the
