Summer Fun

Summer in New Zealand has a mind of its own: sunshine, showers, wind that comes out of nowhere. Luckily, Archie Brothers doesn’t rely on the weather to bring the fun. With venues in Christchurch, Wellington and Newmarket (Auckland), we’ve built the ultimate indoor playground for grown-ups and big kids alike. Perfect for summer activities that don’t get rained off. 

Stop scrolling for things to do in summer and step inside your new favourite arcade. Think classic games that hit you right in the nostalgia, all the modern toys you wish existed when you were ten, VR worlds that bend your brain, multiplayer games for settling friendly feuds, and enough flashing lights and ticket wins to make you forget you even own a to-do list. It’s loud, it’s chaotic, and it’s the most fun you’ll have all summer: no sunscreen required. 

Planning summer events for your team? Rallying the crew for a night out? Archie Brothers makes it stupidly easy. Battle for high scores, chase tickets like your pocket money’s on the line, or dive headfirst into VR adventures that transport you somewhere far sunnier than the Wellington waterfront. And because everything’s under one roof, New Zealand’s famously dramatic weather can’t ruin a thing. 

Our $39 Summer Function keeps the good times rolling with zero hassle. Grab a drink (beer, wine, spirit or soft drink), pick an activity, smash some fries, and get straight back to playing. Simple. Fun. Done. 

Families aren’t left out either. With special kids’ deals during the school holidays, Archie Brothers becomes the ultimate backup plan. Or, let’s be honest, the main event when you need entertainment that actually works for everyone. Rain, shine, sideways wind… whatever the forecast is doing, Archie Brothers is ready to bring the chaos. Round up your mates, loosen up the grown-up seriousness, and get ready to play like you mean it. 

Games. Drinks. Chaos. 
This is where your NZ summer truly starts.
