description Playdium Overview
Playdium is an indoor entertainment centre in Mississauga, Ontario, operated by Cineplex.

The venue is part of Cineplex's location-based entertainment business rather than a conventional cinema, although it is operated by the same Canadian company.
help Playdium FAQ
What was the original Playdium in Mississauga?
It was Cineplex's large family entertainment centre beside Square One, and the first Playdium location opened in Mississauga in 1996. The older site combined an arcade with attractions such as go-karts, batting cages, and mini-golf.
Did Playdium Mississauga close, or is it still the current Cineplex location?
The original Mississauga Playdium was permanently closed in 2020 during redevelopment of the site. Today's Playdium brand uses newer locations such as Brampton, Whitby, Vaughan, and Fairview, so searches for Mississauga can mix historic pages with current Cineplex venues.
How did games work at Playdium?
Playdium's current Cineplex model uses a game band loaded with credits: tap it at an arcade game, then redeem earned points at the Swag Shop. That is different from the coin-operated arcade format associated with the original 1996 centre.
Was Playdium only an arcade, or did it have other attractions?
The Mississauga centre was broader than an arcade, with go-karts, batting cages, mini-golf, and other indoor entertainment around its games floor. Cineplex's later Playdium locations continue that model with bowling, VR, parties, and attractions, although the exact mix depends on the site.
