Fun @ Genena City
The last time I visited Genena City on my mission to find Broadway, I passed lots of interesting attractions without the time to investigate further; it seemed another trip to this vast mall of surprises was in order to fully explore what was on offer.
My first port of call was the ice-skating rink. It always strikes me as strange to find ice in the desert but there it
is a patch of ice with a readymade slalom course.
Located on one of the lower floors near the kid’s area, the skating rink is open from 1pm to 1am daily.
Everyone can enjoy the fun for just 30le for a half an hour or 50le for a whole hour of skating.
You’ll need to wrap up warmly as the air temperature seems as cold as the ice, but once you are flying around the 300sqm area having fun the cold isn’t a worry.
The four pillars in the middle of the rink give you ample opportunity to try out turns and weaves with no chance of getting hurt – they have cleverly encased them in Perspex so if ( or in my case when) you do crash it is not a problem.
For anyone better than me the figures of eight you can carve are great fun.
Once you’ve finished running rings around the skating rink there is plenty more to do upstairs. Whether you like your balls big, small or virtual there is something to keep you happy.
It seems that Genena really goes have something for everyone.
If you like to crash big balls into wooden targets then the bowling alley is the place for you.
The computerised lanes mean there is no need to have a degree in mathematics to work out your score.
Everything is clean and colourful and if you have little ones with you they can raise the gutter bumpers so no one needs to score zero.
This is also available if you just think you might be really bad and don’t want to be embarrassed by missing the pins all the time.
There are only four lanes, but at 30le per hour it is good value.
If you want to go with a large group then booking would be advisable.
Ayman the manager is happy to take your call and help make your night great.
There is not a café in the bowling area but you can bring drinks or snacks inside from the outlets nearby.
Ayman also looks after the nearby games arcade where gamers can indulge in Playstation, Xbox or the many other video games.
They have private areas where you can game with friends while relaxing in comfy leather chairs and when you want a break there is a great lounge area where smoking I permitted –one of the few places indoors!
The prices won’t break the bank at 20le for an hour plus there is table tennis and other attractions once your trigger finger gets worn out.
The kids can play in the arcade games for a mere 10le per hour which seems bargain – cheaper than a babysitter!
Next door to the arcade zone is the billiard room.
The place has the feel of a Gentleman’s club with sumptuous leather chairs and low lighting. Strictly speaking there are Pool tables not full sized billiard or snooker tables, but at 30le per hour certainly a nice environment to while away some time whilst the wife goes shopping.
The ice-skating rink is open from 1pm until 1am and the bowling alley, billiard room and arcade games are open from 4pm.
If you would like to book the bowling alley or one of the private Playstation areas you can contact Ayman on 01118568151.
