Arcades and entertainment centres for families: 9 spots in Montreal, Laval and the North Shore

Arcades are back, with Japanese-style claw machines, virtual reality and centres that put laser tag, bowling and mini-golf under one roof. Here are nine spots for a rainy day, a teen party or an afternoon with the cousins.

In short: for claw machines, ClawVille and CläwMee in Laval; to do it all in one place, BoulZeye in Montreal or Zone 15 in Laval; for teens, electric go-karting at TAG in Sainte-Thérèse.
