Level X Middlesborough

What You Can Do and Experience

There is a huge variety of things to get stuck into, so you could easily spend two to four hours here if you’re trying a few different activities.

  • The Drift Hall: This is the star of the show—a 200m indoor electric go-kart track. It’s got a real “video game” vibe where you can pick up virtual power-ups to boost your speed or slow down your mates.
  • Gutterball Bowling: A stylish take on the classic game with neon lights and graffiti art. It’s a great social anchor for the visit.
  • Big Putts Golf: This isn’t your average mini-golf. It uses smart technology with electronic sensors, so you don’t have to worry about carrying around a pencil and paper to keep score.
  • Virtual Reality & Arcades: There are dedicated VR zones for immersive gaming and a massive bank of arcade machines, including retro racing games and air hockey.
  • Extra Fun: You’ll also find karaoke pods if you fancy a sing-along, cyber darts, and bumper cars.

Who It’s For and Things to Know

  • Families and Friends: It’s a hit with everyone from young children to seniors. During the day, it’s packed with families, while the evening attracts couples and groups of friends.
  • Age and Height Rules:
    • For go-karting, racers must be at least 8 years old and at least 4ft 9in (1.45m) tall.
    • Children under 12 must be with an adult.
    • Under 18s need to head out by mid-evening, as the venue becomes adults-only (18+) after 9:00 PM.
  • Wait Times: It can get very busy, especially on weekends and during school holidays. It’s a good idea to book your main activities online beforehand so you aren’t stuck waiting.

Location and Handy Details

  • Post Code & County: TS1 5UB, North Yorkshire.
  • Parking: It’s located in a central shopping square, so there is plenty of nearby multi-storey parking, though be aware that city-centre parking charges apply.
  • Food and Drink: There’s a bar on-site for snacks and drinks, but some visitors have mentioned that soft drinks can be a bit on the pricey side.
  • Deals to Look Out For:
    • Blue Light Discount: They often offer discounts for emergency services and NHS staff, though you usually have to book these in person at the desk with your ID.
    • Packages: Look for “Limitless” or multi-game bundles. These are generally much better value than paying for each activity individually.
    • Cashless: Just a heads-up that the venue is cashless, so bring your card or phone for payments.

Making a Day of It

Since you’re right in the heart of the town, you can easily pair a visit here with other local spots:

  • Roxy Movies: A boutique cinema nearby if you want to follow up the gaming with a film.
  • Dining: There are plenty of well-known spots like Nando’s, Turtle Bay, and Manjaros within walking distance if you want a full meal after your games.
  • Active Fun: If the kids still have energy, there’s a trampoline park and soft play center right in the same square.
