The work to reopen Back To The Arcade at the old Jump Inn site is in progress. Jump Inn used to be a popular children's trampolining centre and had closed its doors in 2018.
"After the school holidays are over, we will close down the current premises and plan to reopen in a bigger and better way by September," Goulburn local and owner Greg Appleton said.
"The new place will be Going to The Arcade part two. We are moving from a space of around 600 square meters to about 1300 square meters."
Mr Appleton will add new games and features like mini-bowling and laser tag once it opens in September.
"We are not making any changes to the new premises but will update and refresh the place. The old Jump Inn premises had laser tag many years ago and we want to start that again.

"When we reopen, the place will look different from how it used to be and will be quite a destination."
The video gaming arcade opened last week after being forced to close the doors due to COVID-19.
Prior to the closure, there were plans to expand the classic old-style video gaming arcade which has around 35 gaming machines.
The arcade was opened in June last year by local Greg Appleton who has a passion for gaming and saw a hole in the market.
The arcade has several high-end retro machines, the big Daytonas, and two Sega Rallies. Some of the machines are close to 700kg.
It also has a huge collection of shooters, Lethal Weapon and Mario 2s, lots of racing games, a pinball machine, and a fishing game for younger kids.
