This place is easy to spot when visiting Melbourne Central. Maybe it’s the giant gold bear sitting out front or the nostalgic fun. We spotted an old E.T tin lunch box, an old Nintendo Gameboy or Ghostbusters figurines.

B. Lucky and Sons is part of the Funlab family. This includes Archie Brothers, Holey Moley and Strike, which are some of Mamma’s favourites.

These guys have your classic arcade games, ticket prize tests and a cocktail bar. Although you can collect tickets to win some great prizes which you will find at most arcade places, this place does something a little different. You can take your tickets to their prize parlour pawn shop and lay your claim to the coveted collectibles that sit on their shelves. From original Playstation classics to old movie memorabilia.

Playing in arcades doesn’t have to be expensive. Most games are $2 which Mamma found was more of a reason to play. Purchase a card with a set limit and let the little ones run wild.
