JCC Buffalo Esports Arena – Premier Gaming Space for Kids, Teens & Adults

Community rec-center esports arena for youth and families. Located inside the Benderson Family Building, this fresh esports arena positions itself as a welcoming local hotspot for competitive gaming, youth enrichment, and community connection. Though it doesn’t drop full hardware specs, the space powers everything from birthday parties to esports classes, coding workshops in Minecraft for Education, and interactive team challenges designed to blend playful energy with developmental learning.

It’s as much a place to test gaming skills as it is a social launchpad—parents bring their kids to dive into coding or games, groups book parties that blend screen time with celebration, and local clubs create shared memories in a casual, vibrant environment. The arena’s strength lies in its versatility: blending structured e-learning with playful exploration and social engagement, all under one roof.
