Whether you’re on a special date night or out with friends as a group of couples, Urban Playground is one of the most unique and exciting things to do in Manchester. If you’re looking for a memorable night out, this is the place for you.

Urban Playground is a brand new attraction in the heart of this vibrant city. Located in the Arndale Centre, it is home to THE CUBE Live Experience, Putters Mini Golf, premium bars and restaurants and more. If you and your partner enjoy a little friendly competition, here are some things you need to do during your visit:

Challenge yourself with THE CUBE or Putters

If you give THE CUBE a go, you are sure to start the evening with some fun and excitement. The intense games of THE CUBE are perfect for competitive couples. Double dates can be awkward, so breaking the ice with these challenges would be a great start to a very different night out. As seen on TV, THE CUBE is full of unique 1 and 2-player challenges that test your teamwork, hand-eye coordination and memory skills. It will certainly give you plenty to talk about afterwards!

Of course, if some mini-golf is what you’re after then your night is complete. Single, double or triple dates are welcome as you can attempt the high-tech nine-hole course in groups of up to six people. If the other couples don’t keep you entertained, the animations and audio certainly will – you’ll have plenty to brag about over a fancy beverage afterwards, as you can track your score all night.

Grab a cocktail

The Bar has an extensive cocktail menu and is the perfect place to sit and relax while you watch others try their hardest to conquer THE CUBE Live. What better way to unwind than watching other people failing to do what you have just smashed out of the park? Of course, there is always the option to sit and cower behind your Raspberry Mojito if you failed at THE CUBE and bogeyed all the holes on the mini-golf… but we are sure that won’t happen!

Worked up an appetite?

If all this has left you with a big appetite, you can fill your victorious boots afterwards at our delicious eatery, THE BUTCHER, one of the best places to eat in Manchester. You may have already defeated THE CUBE but can you defeat our extravagant burgers? Be sure to try The Daddy, The Codfather or THE BUTCHER TLV.

If you can’t manage a burger, there are also plenty of delicious light bites available throughout the evening. Tasty snacks such as mozzarella sticks, onion rings, chicken wings and sweet potato fries will have your mouth watering and you can wash them all down with one of our signature milkshakes.

If you’re celebrating defeating THE CUBE or getting a hole in one at Putters, then why not level up your drink? Our boozy milkshakes are a popular choice at Urban Playground and they go down well with winners and losers alike!

One to remember

However your night goes, it’s certain to be one of your most memorable nights out in Manchester, so what are you waiting for? Grab your partner and friends for an exciting night that you’ll be talking about for many couples’ nights in the future.

To ensure you don’t miss out, we always recommend you pre-book your place on our secure website. We are a cashless venue, so don’t forget your card too… unless you want the other couple to pay, that is!
