A family entertainment centre, owned by Excalibur Entertainment, aims to open its doors to the public in El Dorado later this year. The development was announced in a press release issued by the Union County Chamber of Commerce and El Dorado Mayor Veronica Smith-Creer.
“I want to do a big, humongous, gigantic thank you to Bill Luther and the staff at the El Dorado-Union County Chamber of Commerce for working diligently with not only this, but other things that I’m sure will be coming forward very, very soon,” the mayor said. “That’s one of the things we’ve talked about is something for children to do, for families to do as a whole, and even in the middle of this pandemic, great things are still happening.”
The Excalibur website suggests that the FEC should be ready to open in Autumn of this year. Mayor Smith-Creer has announced that the venue will be located at a former Walgreens unit, within the Northwest Village Shopping Center at 1900 N.West Avenue.
The Excalibur Family Entertainment Centre will offer guests the opportunity to enjoy several attractions including laser tag in a blacklight arena, virtual reality consoles for up to six players boasting 140 different games, a 1,200 square foot soft foam indoor playground with tunnels, slides and a ball pit, hydraulic racing simulators for up to four players, and over 50 arcade games.
The venue will host parties, with on-site catering and group booking availability. Another Excalibur family entertainment centre is located in West Monroe, Louisiana, where guests can climb a large rock wall, race go-karts, duel in battle cages and play miniature golf.
