Fun at Castle Towers
Jump into the Neon Play Zone, an interactive LED gaming floor designed to get kids moving, thinking and competing!
- The Neon Grid Game, where players race to step on glowing tiles while avoiding red tiles, perfect for a little friendly family competition. Compete in teams of 2 – 4, with each round increasing in difficulty. Scores are added to the live leaderboard where top performers compete for the title of Ultimate Neon Hero. When games aren’t running, the floor opens up for free play – so little and big kids at heart can jump in anytime.
- Neon Galaxy Floor, think of a life-sized version of Snakes and Ladders, transformed into an immersive pixel-powered floor game. Players simply visit the play zone and scan the QR code to unlock the virtual dice to race across the neon board while collecting power-ups and navigating challenges.
- Finish at the Neon Art Interactive Wall, where kids can create colourful shapes, words, and patterns in real time.
The Neon Play Zone will be glowing and interactive from 1 April so kids can step, jump and watch the lights respond even outside of game times. The full game experience will be available during staffed hours. Find out more here.
Staffed Play Sessions – When: 7 – 19 April | Game Time: 10am – 2pm daily | Cost: Free | Recommended for ages 5+
