Plus, the best indoor attractions in the UK GAME ON New adult-only indoor playground with pub games and prosecco-flavoured candyfloss to open in the UK A NEW adult-only attraction is opening next month in the UK - with boozy snacks and pub games.

And on August 21, a second site will be opening. The new site will be located just across the road from St Paul's Cathedral and span across 24,500-square-feet. The different sections include 'The Fun House', 'Dining Area', 'Games Area', 'Prize Stand', food vendors and two bars. Bigger than the Canary Wharf site, guests will be greeted by a tower 15-foot rotating duck - and a vibrant neon playground. As for the games themselves, there will be 12 reimagined fairground games exclusive to the site. One game is 'Joy Ride', a car racing game, as well as 'Duck and Dive' -where players have to to knock all the bottles off the shelves. There will also be 'Beaky Blinders' - the largest indoor hook-a-duck ever created. Visitors can also choose from a range of street food vendors such as Burger & Beyond, Alby's Pizza and Le Bab. And for drinks, guests can grab a funfair-themed cocktail before heading to a booth and listening to tunes from the resident DJ. Inside multi-million pound upgrade for popular Scots tourist attraction Want a sweet and boozy treat? Then opt for a prosecco-infused candy floss. The attraction has also recently launched a 'Fairmiles' loyalty scheme, where visitors will get rewards for each time they head to a Fairgame site - including merch and prizes. In total, the new venue will be able to host up to 1,000 people. Currently, prices to visit Canary Wharf's site are from £15 for unlimited games. This price then rises to £19 for peak days, such as Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. Included in the price, visitors get to play each of the nine games once and have a total playing time of 75 minutes. The UK's best indoor attractions The UK's unpredictable weather means finding indoor activities is essential for parents treating their kids to a day out. Here's a list of some of the best attractions found firmly underneath a roof in the country. Empire of the Sea Dragon Indoor Zone This play area claims to be the biggest indoor play park in the UK. The entertainment hub is home to five floors, with slides, rope bridges, swings, net towers and rides. There's also the Trauma Tower, which Empire of the Sea claim is the "best indoor ride in Devon" because of its huge 50ft drop. Other indoor rides at the Devonshire-based indoor play area include a Ferris Wheel and a Submarine Ride. Play Factore This indoor play zone claims to have been designed especially "to provide families with a state of the art active indoor play arena to play in together". Included in its attractions are the tallest standing indoor slide in the UK, as well as a full indoor laser tag arena, interactive trampolines and zip wires. In addition to the UK's tallest indoor slide, it also has the country's largest indoor play frame, made up of a network of tunnels, slides and obstacles, including giant bubble balls, spider nets and rollers. What's more, for kids more into playing ball sports, it has a football pitch and a basketball court built into the play frame. Gravity Max Gravity Max has sites in both the north and south of the UK, including in Liverpool, Castleford and Wandsworth. It also recently opened a brand new one in East London at the Westfield Shopping Centre. The main draw of the site is its E-karting super track, which runs on two separate tracks across multiple levels, offering various different racing experiences. It also has Tokyo-style arcades covering almost an entire floor of their own upstairs. There's also a nine-hole Coca-Cola minigolf course, which requires players to tap their club in before starting, so each shot can be counted digitally, meaning no cheating is able to take place. Meanwhile, upstairs, the Heineken sports bar is found, which has private booths to allow those who have booked them to have their own choice of music, as well as their own TV screens to watch their choice of sport. These are the top 15 UK attractions for 2025 revealed including six which are totally free for the summer holidays. Plus, the incredibly popular £7 tourist attraction returns to UK with a giant maze, a sunset bar and stunning photo opportunities.
