The Windsor Hills games room and arcade is a bright, air-conditioned space at the resort where kids can play air hockey, grab for prizes at the claw machines and try full-size arcade cabinets. It is a handy fallback for hot afternoons, a rest day between parks or the hour before dinner, and it is only a short walk or drive from most homes in the gated resort.
What you will find in the games room
The room is laid out as one open space with plenty of floor to move around in. Expect a mix of:
- A glowing air hockey table, which is usually the first stop for siblings
- Rows of claw machines stocked with plush prizes
- Large arcade cabinets, including a big shooter-style game that older kids and teens gravitate toward
- Redemption-style games where you collect points
- Seating at a small counter along one side so parents can sit and watch
Game lineups change over time, so treat this as a snapshot rather than a promise of specific machines.
More to play around the clubhouse
The arcade is part of a bigger set of indoor options. Windsor Hills also has billiards tables, ping-pong tables and a movie theater room, so kids who tire of one thing can switch to another. Our Windsor Hills clubhouse guide walks through the rest of the building.
Tips for a smooth arcade visit
- Ask at the front desk how games are paid for and whether your rental includes any credits, since arrangements can change.
- Set a simple budget before you go. Claw machines are the biggest money pit for little ones.
- Bring a small bag for prizes so nothing gets left behind.
- Go in the late afternoon, when the Florida sun is strongest and the pool crowd tends to cool off indoors.
- Keep younger kids with an adult. A posted rule in the room asks that children under 18 be accompanied by an adult or guardian.
Games room fun for different ages
Toddlers and preschoolers do best with the claw machines and the air hockey table once a parent helps with the controls. Elementary-age kids tend to love the redemption games. Teens usually claim the big cabinets and the pool tables. If you are traveling with teens, our Windsor Hills with teenagers post has more ideas for keeping them happy.
Why the arcade matters on a Disney trip
Disney days are long, and kids need downtime. Windsor Hills sits about 10 minutes from Disney property, and Magic Kingdom is usually around 10 to 15 minutes away depending on traffic, so it is easy to head back in the afternoon for a break and return refreshed. After the games room, you can cool off in the heated lagoon pool or at the Sir Windsor AquaVenture water park and splash areas.
Back at your rental, you will have a full kitchen for easy dinners and plenty of space for big families. Some homes even have their own game rooms, which you can compare in our guide to Disney vacation rentals with game rooms for kids.
Plan your stay
Booking direct with owners at Windsor Hills lets you pick the home that fits your group, from condos and townhouses to private-pool villas, with the whole resort, games room included, a short walk away. Browse Windsor Hills rentals and plan a trip where the kids have as much fun at home base as they do in the parks.
