Birthday parties, date nights, and weekends are about to get more exciting because this fall, Calgary, Alberta will welcome PowerPlay, an all-in-one entertainment venue described as a first for Canada.

Located in Southcentre Mall, this 80,000-square-foot spot will have everything from dine-in micro movie theatres and a coffee bar to high-tech games and interactive simulators.

What’s more, it’ll be fun for all ages!

“At PowerPlay, we are obsessed with redefining the entertainment experience by blending cutting-edge technology, premium dining, and immersive activities all under one roof,” says Moe Farhat, Managing Partner of PowerPlay.

“From our world-class entertainment experience to our dine-in micro cinemas, we’re elevating every aspect of leisure, creating a space where people come together to connect, celebrate, and make lasting memories.”

According to the company, the space will have a bowling alley and arcade, as well as a baseball ‘strike zone’ with a real-time pitching machine and high-speed cameras.

Love VR? Their immersive gamebox will offer an interactive gaming experience where “players can step into a digital world” without headsets, creating an all-encompassing 360-degree experience.

They’ll also have a tiny cinema where you can hit a unique self-serve concession area or indulge in gourmet bites – but that’s not all!

In 2025, they hope to expand – adding a speakeasy, rooftop patio, laser tag arena and a Starbucks.
