Pier Amusements

About

 

COVID-19 Due to the national lockdown, we are closed from 4th January 2021 until further notice.

The Family Entertainment Centre is located at the entrance of Bournemouth Pier. Here you will find a wide range of entertainment machines and amusements, and all the most up-to-date videos and prizes.

Pier Amusements is a modern amusement arcade which concentrates on being a family entertainment centre. We pride ourselves in having a lovely family atmosphere and friendly, helpful staff. We have a wide range of family orientated games and prizes from the current film licences, appealling to gamers with our groundbreaking, up to date video games, with franchises such as The Walking Dead, Tomb Raider and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. We also pride ourselves on our pinball area, with well kept tables from both the modern and classic games.
