Play Air Hockey in your neighbourhood
Community Centre
Usually owned by the City, Community Centers spend a lot of money to get quality materials, games and equipments of all sorts for their residents. Ask your local Community Center to see if they have an Air Hockey table. Sometimes you can even book a room at the Community Centre for an event so check if they can put a table aside for you.
Youth (or Seniors) Center
Youth Center are a place where young people can gather to practice in a variety of activities such as sports or art. Sometimes Community Centers and Youth Centers are the same place. In a similar way, maybe some Seniors’ centers or Older Adult centers may have one too.
Arcade
This is probably the most obvious option of all. Arcades often have a plethora of arcade games available. From Japanese games to coin machines to claw machines, there is no shortage of fun at Arcades.
Arcades dream is to keep you there for as long as possible and to offer more fun you can dream about. For me, Air Hockey is surely a great way to do just that.
Bowling Alley
Do you know the feeling of going somewhere a half-dozen times and never noticing something ? That’s how I felt when I realized my local bowling alley had a two air hockey tables at the far end corner. Look around your local bowling alley or give them a call to double check.
Billiards Club
Pool tables, darts and… air hockey. Yes, it might be hard to believe but possible.
Bars
If you are not under the legal age to drink you might be able to enjoy playing air hockey at a bar. Just like Pool, Air Hockey is a great way to draw customers and keep them indoor for as long as possible. Pool tables and Air Hockey table is a great way to do that.
