Do I need any painting experience?

None. Your artist walks the whole room through the painting stroke by stroke over about two hours, and everyone leaves with a finished canvas. Most guests have never painted before.

Where do I park near Playdium?

There's free parking at or near Playdium.

Can I order food and drinks during the event?

Yes — the bar and cocktail list stays open while you paint. Food and drinks are ordered from and paid to the venue, and aren't part of your seat price.

How early should I arrive?

Doors open 30 minutes before the painting starts. Come early, grab your seat and order a drink — the artist starts on time.

Is the venue wheelchair accessible?

Yes — Playdium has a wheelchair-accessible entrance and restrooms. If you have specific seating needs, contact the venue ahead of the event and they'll set you up.

Had a great time at Playdium! The arcade is massive with a solid mix of games—everything from the 4-player Minecraft Dungeons cabinet to light-gun shooters like Night Hunter and classics like the Transformers and Jurassic Park machines. Plenty of ticket-redemption games too (Tower of Tickets is always a fun grab). The space is clean, the lighting and atmosphere are exactly what you want from an arcade, and the card-swipe system makes it easy to jump between games without fumbling for tokens. Staff kept the place tidy and the games were all in good working order. Convenient spot right by the cinemas, so it’s an easy add-on to a movie night. Will definitely be back. Great for date nights, families, or just blowing off steam with friends.

Visited Playdium Fairview on a very busy long weekend Sunday afternoon. First, credit where it’s due — the $20 value deal (one hour of free play plus a kids meal with drink and fries) is fantastic and honestly one of the reasons we chose to visit. The entertainment side was fun and the kids were excited. Now for the part that needs attention. The food was unfortunately very disappointing. The pizza was bland and dry, the burger was served lukewarm, and the nachos quickly turned into a mushy mess because everything (cheese sauce, salsa, sour cream) was poured all over. Even worse, the cheese sauce and chicken pieces were already cold when we sat down. For a place catering heavily to families and children, this is totally disappointing. Thankfully the kitchen manager issued a refund for the nachos ($25) Service also left a poor impression. While waiting for a cleaned table, staff appeared to assume the mess was ours and walked away without clearing it, leaving us awkwardly standing there with kids and trays. Not the most welcoming experience. The men’s bathroom had no toilet paper in any stall, which required asking multiple staff members to resolve. That’s the sort of basic maintenance detail that really shouldn’t slip. The fountain drinks were also noticeably off — Pepsi tasted like brown soda water with no flavour, and the iced tea was extremely diluted. Overall, Playdium is a great concept with excellent entertainment value, but the food quality, cleanliness, and service consistency seriously detracted from the experience. I truly hope management tightens things up, because families are paying not just for games, but for a full, enjoyable outing.

We had a wonderful experience hosting our child’s birthday party at Playdium. Mariah was extremely helpful throughout the booking and planning process, patiently answering all our questions and making everything easy and stress-free. On the day of the party, Alissa did an amazing job managing our room — everything ran smoothly, and she quickly helped with any requests despite a busy schedule. All the staff were professional and kind, and the kids had an amazing time. We’re very grateful and highly recommend Playdium for birthday parties!
