Private, active gaming rooms with pressure-sensitive floor tiles turn arcade play into a fast-paced physical workout at Running Grid. Sessions run for 30 minutes in dedicated suites where groups dodge illuminated colours across Floor is Lava-style challenges and wall games, working through more than 100 levels chosen from an in-room tablet. It suits kids, friend groups, birthday parties, and corporate team-building, with standard entry from \$15 for children, \$20 for students, and \$25 for adults, alongside group discounts for four or more (all as at 2026).
Visitors consistently praise the clean, spacious venue and describe it as a proper workout that feels like play rather than exercise. Groups mention having fun across mixed ages, with the on-site claw machines and cold drinks proving popular for winding down straight after a session. Located on Level 1 at 100 Riccarton Road in Riccarton, the venue operates on an advance online booking system, sending instructional and safety videos ahead of arrival so players can jump straight into the action. Our pick in Riccarton for an energetic group challenge on a rainy afternoon.
