Power Up Arena, located in the Westfield Garden State Plaza, took over Arena Stem and transformed it into a new and improved high tech playground where visitors can try and enjoy a variety of activities and games using cutting edge technology.

The huge pool in which remote control boats and the drone ariel course with the hanging obstacles, catches the attention of all who pass. It looks intriguing. It is intriguing and a fun fully immersive experience. We thoroughly enjoyed flying the drones and racing the boats.

We continued on to the virtual reality where we challenged each other while feeling like we were in a distant place. We tried some of the arcades and enjoyed the variety while we chilled.

The Rock Crawlers are super cool remote-control trucks that ride over hills and rocky terrain. The Battle Bots are remote control robotic tanks that are used in a game of remote-control war with the tanks.

Our all-time favorite was the gel blaster laser tag where you shoot little gel orbeez at the opponent to score points. It was so much fun, a bit slimy and we all enjoyed it immensely.
