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.

Fairgame puts the 'fun' in funfair – but be sure to leave the kids at home
Roll up, roll up! It's fairground season and families across the country will be flooding their local parks, hoping to hook a duck or bag a giant bear. But what if the funfair was open year-round? And served cocktails? If that sounds more like your cup of tea than queueing for the tea cups, look no further than Canary Wharf's Fairgame - but be sure to leave the kids at home. A day in the office had left our team thirsty for a pint - and victory - and we knew exactly where to go. But we needed to fuel up first. Thanks to the three on-site food stalls - Rudy's Pizza Napoletana, Burger & Beyond and Taco Collective - you're guaranteed not to go hungry here. The Bumper Bar serves up a variety of signature cocktails, plus the usual fare and a range of beers, wines and soft drinks, too. Once our stomachs were full and we had roused enough liquid courage, it was time to play. Over nine games we battled it out to see who would claim the top spot. But this isn't like your normal funfair. Each game is kitted out with RFID tech and uses a scannable games card to register who's playing. This in turn is hooked up to a digital leader board, so we always knew who was winning. Unfortunately, it was almost never me. While this glitzy venue might not be quite like the fairground you loved as a kid, it's sure to bring back fond memories. If you're any good, you might even be able to bag a bear in recognition of your victory. If your hand-eye coordination is anything like mine, however, I wouldn't get your hopes up.
