Clear allNewcastle's group activities fall into two broad camps. In the inner city – King Street, Hunter Street, Wickham and Tighes Hill – you can throw axes, step into a free-roam VR game, shape clay or cook a meal together, then walk on to dinner. Around Lake Macquarie the options lean towards open space and water views: barefoot bowls at Valentine, laser tag at Warners Bay, a lakeside art studio at Coal Point and a clay target range in bushland at Awaba.
Broadmeadow sits in between with a pair of putting venues: Rippit Golf on Curley Road, which adds simulator bays and a covered driving range, and Newcastle Supa Putt on Turton Road, where one price covers unlimited rounds on two courses.
Budgets stretch a long way here. Red Alert Laser Tag starts from $12.50 per person, Newcastle Supa Putt and Inner City Winemakers from $15 per person and Rippit Golf from $20 per person. At the higher end, MANIAX Axe Throwing Newcastle is from $47 per person, the clay target club at Awaba from $50 per person and Novacade VR from $60 per person.
