American Classic Arcade Museum

A cool place with a great nostalgic vibe. All the vintage video games are only a quarter. Twenty dollars lasts you quite a long time. Hours of fun. There are modern games downstairs for people who prefer that. Those tend to cost more.

Cool place to visit. Had older arcade machines. Has ticket games too to get prizes. Has a huge collection of pinball machines. They have a bowling alley with candle-pin bowling & 10 pin. Candle-pin is highly recommended.

Very fun and affordable. A real trip down memory lane! Our group of 8 adults spent hours between this section and the rest of Funspot. We ended up having lunch and making a day of it. Something for everyone!

Great fun. Lots of pinball machines and arcade machines from the 80s. You can play most of them. And indoor miniture golf. It's worth checking out, it's fun.

Largest arcade in the world so you have to go. Plenty of parking and lots of games. There is something for everyone. Games run on 25 cent tokens with most games being 3 tokens. Vintage and modern pinball, video arcade games, carnival games, pin bowling and indoor mini golf.

Great selection of games, and you get a lot of tokens for your money, which means plenty of playtime. Every once in a while I’d have a game eat my token and not give me a play, but it was rare. I only spent an hour or two here, but I could have easily spent longer. Lots of cool information is available within displays and on the walls, so it was a cool educational experience as well. ACAM is a great thing for video game preservation.

We had such a great time. My husband and I felt like little kids. My kiddo had a blast as well. Such a great time!! There's so many options, bowling, mini golf, ski ball, air hockey, and not to mention the third floor chalk full of old school arcade games. We truly had such a great time. You get to walk in, throw some money in the machine for coins and start playing. We highly recommend.

I love Funspot. I've been coming here for over 30 years. But I didn't appreciate the arcade museum until my older years. There's nothing quite like the charming simplicity and quaintness of playing an old arcade cabinet. My main issue is that Battlezone has been broken for years, or at least every time I'm there. I know it's hard to find parts and people to fix them, but it's time to bring Battlezone back to life!!

Fun, affordable, and educational blast from the past! Fun spot is technically the largest retro arcade in the world and they do a great job of keeping the spirit alive. We visited Funspot on a Saturday and was expecting a massive crowd. Even though the parking lot was pretty full, we were pleasantly surprised at how huge the place was, so the crowd was spread throughout the facility and we didn't really have to wait to play any games. This place is 3 stories and it's easy to get lost. But there's something for everyone: a huge selection of playable classics and pinball machines (which doubles as a museum), candlepin and regular bowling, indoor mini golf, a silly little bumper car area for the younger kids, plenty of newer digital arcade games, shooters, etc, skeeball, slot machines, a tavern, a snack bar, a party room, and so much more. What I want to really highlight here is the affordability: it took 4 of us 2 hours to spend our first $20. That's crazy! We could never get away with that at any arcade I've been to lately. A lot of the games, especially the classics, only take one or two tokens, and you get 110 tokens per $20. They give out those classic paper tickets which is a slight inconvenience but worth it for the nostalgia factor. The snack bar has everything you need - pizza, hot dogs, soda, nachos, etc - even fresh fruit, which was awesome! And it's all totally affordable. Also - it's completely free to rent a party table here which, again, is unheard of! What else? Tons of parking. Easily accessible. Free lockers for your stuff. Bowling deals on weekdays and Sundays. Tons of token and ticket machines throughout, on every level. Cash bingo I think? Friendly and helpful staff. Sooooo much history, like a museum that you can play in. Yes, this place is old... That's the point! You can spend all day here without breaking the bank, and come out with a smile on your face and a new appreciation for classic arcades. Take the drive! Bring the kids! Get your button mashing on!

After driving 2 hrs & a half with my college to FunSpot... It was an adventure. - Enhancing the FunSpot Experience: Organization and Assistance - - **Attractions:** - - Ghostbusters: Broken - - Fisher Frenzy: Bronen - - **Instructions:** - - Obtaining coins: via card super confusing - - Locate an arcade employee upstairs: super confusing too... I felt like I was in a maze trying to find the employees. It was fun and games but more information for the beginning part.

Funspot is always a hit for me and my son. I love the classic arcade machines, he enjoys the ticket machines, and we both like mini golf. The tavern serves good drinks and their bar pie is pretty good! There's something for everyone here (oh yes, bowling too). What keeps it from five stars is that the place is in major need of rehab, and management seems to be satisfied with the status quo as nothing has changed in years. For example, there's no one to help on the classic arcade floor if you have an issue with a machine. There needs to be a way to report broken machines as several times I'd put a token in and...nothing. The ground floor is where the gambling occurs with old ticket game machines, slot machines(?), and ice hockey shoved in a corner. I refuse to spend more than $20 in that area and man, there are some crazy people there spending $$$ on really old games to get what, a big pair of plastic sunglasses?

We went a few months ago and after trading in tickets and getting a toy, we had a lot left over. One of the ticket counter people wrote the combined amount on a remaining receipt. We came back today and they refused to honor it saying because the value was higher than the ticket that we must have done it ourselves. The persons initials "EL" were on there. The ticket manager said we were lying and refused to honor it saying they train their people not to do it. After spending more than $100, yeah, I'm trying to cheat the ticket counter for a $5 toy. Some teenage manager accused me of lying in front of my 8 year old son, who started and still is crying. They need a better way to legitimize the tickets after he said this happens all the time. Well, maybe some people lie, but as a business they should create a better means to revise the receipt instead of calling every persona liar.

We've been going here for years! My kids loved it and now my grandson is enjoying it as well! Lots of old and newer games, mini golf, bowling, and just so much fun! Kids and adults all can find something to do! Great place to spend an hour or two or more!

The greatest and Largest Arcade in the world!!! They restore incredible Nintendo and Atari, Sega and all the classic games- from pinball, skeeball to newer games of Nerf, Star Wars, Jurassic park games. Absolutely LOVED playing here and you will win so many tickets after spending $5-20! They have physical tickets and coins to pay for everything- just like the good old days! They have game, rides, candle pin bowling, bumper cars and mini golf! They even have a restaurant. They have the world's largest pin ball game called Hercules!! That was SO MUCH FUN! Fun and games for the whole family! You'll love it here! If you want to play Bingo that is also next door and race go carts across the street. Best place to hang out with your entire family! Enjoy! Game On!!

4 person pac-man arcade! Fun for the whole gang, plenty of quieter areas to relax and chill too.

Well, let me say that it was a nice drive thru the country to get here. Lot of smaller local roads, but the GPS was right on target. Parking was very plentiful and the place was easily recognizable. Small bowling alley served its purpose as a played a game. There was a choice between regular or the smaller ball style bowling, not sure what it was called but it is one the same lanes just using a hand sized ball. Mini golf indoors was in a rather large room and a little cramped, but still fun. Our first stop was at the restaurant as we needed to fuel up before hitting the games. Prices were reasonable and food was good. Would be nice if they put an arcade map on their brochure as there were multiple levels with all different style games. Older arcade games, games with tickets etc. Have to include a picture of one where I was able win 1000 tickets!

Where do I start. Wow. 600 +++ games, features, entertainment sites, tavern, restaurant, and much more. You can spend an entire day with people or a family each with dissimilar interests and everyone will be happy. We got here at 10 AM and didn't leave until 4PM. HUGE parking area greets the visitor. Once inside, three levels of games await the pleasure seeker. Entering Funspot is a bit chaotic before one gets the lay of the land. We entered through the main entrance and went upstairs. First we were able to purchase tokens, as there is no entrance fee, you just buy tokens and play. Funspot labels itself as the world's largest arcade and it is quite believable. Game after game, from legacy games such as Astroblaster, stand near the latest arcade games. There are countless pinball machines. There is a huge indoor 1-hole mini golf course. On the lower level, a 20-lane bowling alley During the day, we ate lunch at the Braggin Dragon, a large indoor pizza and sandwiches restaurant. Later on, we made good use of their tavern for great pub food and beers. The American Classic Arcade Museum is an iconic place within the premises. Q-Bert, the entire Pac-Man family, and many others are there for enjoyment. Truly an iconic place in New England.

An amazing experience if you love classic video games, pinball, or just having FUN! My advice to owners / management. Maybe have a way for people to "adopt" broken machines to get them up and running. A lot of us video game enthusiasts care about these old machines and would likely contribute towards their preservation. The gofundme and current donation methods are not working. You could put a sign on top of the machines stating that the following individuals have adopted this machine to ensure its ongoing operation and upkeep with the names listed. Then manage a program where people can continue to adopt specific machines for a small contribution ($20 and up). If the machine goes down, an email is generated to the members requesting support. Make it fun and it could be a win win for everyone. The biggest bummer of Funspot is the number of classic arcade game that are not functioning or in poor working order on any given day. Some machines are either completely broken or in desperate need of monitor recapping, coin slot issues, control problems, etc. Other games are in amazing / fully restored condition. The Robotron 2084 looked like brand new. I would love to see more effort put into getting as many classic arcade machines fully restored. However this costs money. I travelled from out of state with my cousin. We are both Gen Xers who grew up in the arcades in the 70's/80's/90's. Funspot had been on our bucket list for a while. We had a wonderful time and despite many games being down or not in great condition, I would estimate approximately 75% of them were in good to great condition and we have literally hours of fun playing them. For $20 you get enough tokens to basically play all day. We had a blast. The pinball machines downstairs were also amazing, especially the newer ones like JAWS and Stranger Things. The JAWS pinball is incredible, housed in a metal shark cage with underwater images projected on the wall. Super cool!! The have a nice bar downstairs if you want a beer/cocktail. I also love how arcade and pinball machines are spread all throughout the building. The video game museum part of the complex is also wonderful and I look forwarded to seeing the collection grow in size. Thank you, Funspot, for a wonderful road trip and experience.

Unbelievable variety. A bit overwhelming. Fun except when some machines don't work. Must be never ending for the repairman here. Quite a few kids here during the day- too young for school, vacationing maybe, or maybe even homeschooled? There is a bingo hall in another building, ice cream stand in a 3rd building, bowling, putt putt golf, and maybe something else are offered in the main building at a separate charge too. Concentration on older games mostly. Tickets can be counted fast with ticket counter machine but it appears that it doesn't count past 99. Interesting place to make a stop over.

It is an absolutely huge arcade. I enjoyed the second floor where it's literally like being in a gigantic arcade from the 80s. This place has 10 pin bowling, candle, pin, bowling, ticketed games, where you can win prizes, a little small bumper car track for little kids. Miniature golf. The place is pretty awesome. It was nice to be here in the winter when they were far fewer people than we used to seeing. Normally it's packed with people. I enjoyed the slower pace in the winter.

This place is truly wonderful. My wife and I vacationed in New Hampshire during the summer with some friends and I knew my buddy and I would have to take a trip to this iconic arcade together, being the game enthusiasts that we are. I'm sure I'm not the first to say it, but stepping into Funspot is honestly like walking through a time warp (in a GOOD way!). The sights, the sounds, it's like how arcades used to be when I was a kid. What was even more surprising to me is how crowded the place became as the day wore on. Again, this is a good thing! So many arcades these days feel empty; it's depressing! It was exciting to see so many people - individuals and families - at Funspot and having a great time. My friend and I arrived early to beat the potential crowds, and we had our fill of games over the next three to four hours. Everything was affordable, and we also were able to take a break and get a slice of pizza and some nachos after burning all those calories with the games. As my friend said, it felt like being 11 years old again. There were a few games out of commission, which is to be expected with hardware this old, but most were working when we were there, and in excellent condition. The highlight for me, personally, was the working and completely-functional "Outrun" sit-down cabinet with hydraulics. You don't see those most places, these days - like, in the entire world. Another one of my favorite parts of coming to a place like this is getting to play arcade games I'd never seen or heard of before. They even have some fun hacks, like "Donkey Kong II," among others. It's a really excellent collection of 80s and early 90s games, and you can tell the people who run the place really do care. For folks looking for the newest games, rhythm or fighting or otherwise, this isn't really the place. They do have some more-modern games in the lowest floor (like Mario Kart and Daytona 3), but those aren't really why I came. Funspot feels like the best version of a videogame museum that you can find: it captures the magic of what arcades used to be, and it does it in a way that isn't just a nostalgia trip. For arcade aficionados, this place needs to be on your bucket list.

Small but equipent is well kept. Nice central location and plenty of parking. Kids enjoyed it. Attached store has great variety.

It's a bit hokey. There's no denying this, but at the same time it is amusing. My thanks to the owner and staff, for keeping prices family friendly. The pinball machines work well or not by much, and a lot of the 1980's video games must require a lot of maintenance. It was fun playing the arcade versions of Contra, Punchout, Rampage and more. This brought back some memories. As for being the world's largest arcade, I highly doubt that is the case. There's plenty of parking, and while big, it's not leviathan huge. People of all ages will find something. Nice staff work here, and you can collect tickets playing skeeball and other games. The prizes are what you'd expect. I believe it's open 10 am to 10 pm daily, and it's a tourist trap, but it is worth checking out.

The staff is wonderful. The games are amazing. Happy to be able to take my kids to a family funspot.

I spent the summers of 1987 and 1988 working in the Lake Winnepesaukee area and Funspot was a hangout. It had to be revisited on this trip through New England to see if it was still the same. Yes, it's the same. If anything, it's even more awesome now than it was then. Bigger, brighter, more machines and plenty for kids of all ages to enjoy! After converting $10 into tokens and then playing the many machines that I enjoyed, I landed in the Skeeball area. It seemed like the Skeeball machines were the easiest way to turn tokens into something cheap to take with me as a memory. They have a counting machine, which was super helpful. [Review 18543 overall - 94 in New Hampshire - 2065 of 2022.]

Cheap prices that could last you the entire day there on only $20. A bunch of different things to do, 3 floors of fun!

I have been going there for years I was in my thirty when I started iam 70 now love that you have a smoking room every one is so nice and helpful

LARGEST ARCADE IN THE WORLD!!! Do you like fun? Do you like arcade games? Do you like ski ball? Do you like pinball? Do you like bowling? How about mini golf? Cash bingo? What about ticket redemption games with some epic redeemable prizes? Enjoy a Free Birthday Party Room? (Reservations REQUIRED). Hungry? There's a grab and go snack bar and a restaurant just off the bowling alley. Serving up pizza, hot dog and chicken finger type food. Cheers; there's beers. (You cannot walk around with drinks however). Been coming here since I was a kid in and my bookit and good grades on my report card meant redeemable token's. Incredible memories of getting my cup filled with those little gold coins and shaking them around in the bright yellow logo cup. SO happy that this nostalgic 90's vibe has not left the building. This is one of my most happiest of places to be. Incredible for all ages.... if you like FUN. If you're not into fun....this spots not for you. Go! You won't regret it.

The only mistake I made in coming here was going on a Saturday when Maine & Massachusetts school break was ending & New Hampshire school break was starting. The place was MOBBED with families & kiddos. There were a couple of birthday parties going on, as well. My husband & I started at the pub downstairs to each have a beer. We were going to bowl, but it looked like a long wait. So off to find Skee-Ball we went; unfortunately, a good chunk of the machines were Out of Order. Any that worked were all occupied. Oh well! One of the employees came over & refunded us our tokens when he noticed the machine we chose was now not working. I thought that was a nice observation & he made swift action. It was about lunch time so we went to the restaurant area to order a pizza. We waited about 32 minutes for (1) large pizza. It was somewhat busy, but larger parties that came in AFTER us were receiving their food. It was a bit disappointing, but worth it in the end. We had the bacon ranch pizza & it was cooked nicely. The carpeting in this place needs replacing badly. With the foot traffic & how large it is with all of the arcade games, etc. I can see how that would be quite the project. It's a little 'dirty' I guess you could say. The arcade & pinball games are still in pretty decent condition & lots of them! There are hand sanitizing stations all over the place, too. We still have a ton of tokens ($20 worth) & plan to return to hang out for a little while.

We took out grandson for his 5th birthday to Funspot Orlando, it was an awesome experience particularly the hospitality and service experienced from Maria and the young lady that assisted her on August 26, 2024. I will recommend Funspot anytime to everyone. Our grandson Tre enjoyed all the rides and we had fun with the Go Karts. Thanks Funspot thank you Maria you blessed us in a big way by giving us memories we will remember for a very long time. God bless. Clyde Lynne and Tremaine from South Africa

When asked do you want to see the world's largest arcade.. entered in the Guinness World Records.... hell ya! I wasn't going to say no! American Classic Arcade Museum with over 250 pre-1987 video games and pinball machines, PacMan, Donkey Kong to name a few. It's like your childhood sold back to you. The interior is outdated and is probably intentionally kept that way... arcade spans across 3 floors. It's definitely a cheapest option to keep kids entertained $5 = 25tokens... easy 2 hrs.

This place is a great place to be with kids. All you need is $20 and that could keep you busy for half a day before the kids are exhausted and just go home and nap and don't bother you. However, Goodluck trying to get them out of there. Did ibsay keep the kids busy earlier, wait, the place is fun and you may see more adults playing and enjoying than kids. The place also has mini golf and bowling as well. This is in the world's largest arcade and you should stop in to have fun and get the feeling of being a kid again if you are an adult. The place may be outdated with games from the 80s and 90s.

This place is amazing! So many vintage arcade games, bowling, ski ball, air hockey, bumper cars. I could literally spend hours here. Super fun for kids and adults.

Fun day out. $20 and we played for hours. Large selection of games. When one game ate our tokens, we were quickly reimbursed and then played for free. Great for nostalgia and retro.

This was not what we were expecting at all. Yes, there are TONS of class video games. Alot were broken. They had a few current games and a couple of typical arcade games. It was run down, lots of broken games. It was old and rundown. My 13 year old said "nope" and we turned around and left and went to the arcade on the Weirs Beach boardwalk. Way more fun!

OMG. ZOMG. Jeezus effen C!!! This place. This place!!!! I didn't want to leave. I almost threw a fit like a 5 yr old when it was time to leave. IM 50 at time of writing this. I OG heard about ACAM through a vintage arcade podcast, The Ted Dabney Experience. The owner of ACAM was on it. I had no idea I would ever get the chance to visit it. Well thanks to a NE honeymoon trip to NH and Vermont, I looked up where Liconia was and dang it was only 1.5 hours away from our resort!!! So you know we made that trip. Being a arcade collector myself, I was totally in heaven. The sheer amount of games. The different ones, and sooo many that I haven't seen before. Of course my beautiful wife became bored and a lil hungry and she managed to find a pizza restaurant INSIDE of a bar INSIDE Funspot. It only gets better and better!! I understand this place has been here forever....soooo jealous that its not closer to NOLA. Dang it was an awesome time. I doubt I'll ever get to visit here again because its so out of the way, so this is my advice to you. If you are within 5 hours of this place.... get a damn hotel, and visit this place for the weekend!! I am talking its totally worth it!!!!!!!!

Fun nostalgia of games. Several games not working. Prices were some many tickets for anything good. Mini golf was fun

This is the ultimate time machine destination location! If you find yourself in close proximity, it is a must-stop. All the games Gen-X'ers grew up playing under one roof. Mini-golf, skee-ball, pinball machines, multi-player racing games, plus all the original arcade games; Galaga, Pac-Man, Donkey Kong, you name it...they have it. Love,Love,Love this place!

Dingy, dirty and duct taped establishment that seems like it never left 1994.. Video game aficionados will probably enjoy the huge selection and classic games from the 80s and 90s. Lots of games out of order. It's odd that they don't have more newer games to complement the older games. Long line to cash out tickets. Prices were decent compared to other arcades I've been to recently. It seems like this place is probably run by a MAGA Republican. In addition to other posts saying the owner is a pandemic denier, I was greeted by a huge picture of Ronald Reagan when buying tokens. The entire place has an attitude of "this is the way it has always been and nothing needs to change," a mantra of Republicans. The physical tokens and physical tickets instead of cards like most modern arcades is one example, although maybe that would be hard to implement on old games. The owner is clearly cheap as there was a lack of staff, rugs worn and torn, and decor that looked like it hadn't been updated in decades. The bathrooms were clean, so that's a plus.

Really chaotic but it has a couple good games we went on a rainy day. Best you're going to get in this town tho.

For 80's and 90's kids, Funspot is a wonderful trip back in time when you would spend the entire afternoon at the arcade. With so many of the old-school arcades gone in New England, it's really nice to see Funspot still doing well. It has one of the largest selection of arcade games in the country, everything from the early Atari games to more recent Mario Kart driving games. They have all my favorites, the original Simpsons game, Commando, Operation Wolf, the Terminator 2 shooting game, and of course NBA Jam. Funspot consists of multiple floors with token machines conveniently located on each one. They have a nice variety of different types of games so you'll never be bored. When you need a break from playing video games they have skee ball and bowling on the bottom floor. If the weather is bad during the summer it can get crowded. It's worth the drive from Massachusetts and you can easily spend an entire afternoon here.

As a kid, we went here several times a year. It's definitely changed and grown over the years. As adults, we had a hankering for playing some video games so we took the long drive to indulge. In the are with classic arcade games, lighting is very dim. Some machines out of order, but many things from when we were kids were available and brought us fun and nostalgia. I'm not good at the games. And they cost $.25-$1 to play. This is a HUGE bargain compared to new arcades. We played pinball and had fun there too. We didn't bowl, but there were some fun games on that level and watching little kids on the animal go carts was cute. Bottom level we played air hockey and ski ball. This was our jam. We couldn't find whack-a-mole but had fun on a variety of other games. Tickets seemed pointless, we we have ours to a young kid. Hopefully they could get something. $30 for a couple of us was more than enough to have lots of fun for almost 2 hours. If we were kids, I think it would not have lasted so long. We don't play lots of shooting games or run from one game to another. We skipped Minigolf and the birthday party area but looked good for little kid parties. Topsnuf did not make an appearance but it was a nice day anyway.

Had a GREAT TIME. TONS of old school video games. The pizza was just like the old cafeteria food from my elementary school days. If you're GEN-X I can't recommend this place more. Best time I've had in a long long time.

Very clean and fun place to spend I few hours. There is something for all age groups

Bowled here for the first time recently, and really loved it. Real pin setters (not string) and well maintained. Bowled my highest game to date! Was surprised that there's even a pro shop here. Wish I lived closer!

My wife and I came here as the centerpiece of a getaway that we took recently, and I wanted to tell my fellow Yelpers out there of my experience. This was my second visit to Funspot, with the first being about 40 years ago. Despite the passage of that amount of time, this place did not fail to live up to my expectations. Being surrounded by games, games and more games was fantastic, especially the video games of my childhood and pinball! We spent 6 hours here and we must have played 100's of games between us, and the cost of those games was the same, with only a very few of the games costing more than 2 tokens. We played all the old classic games that we grew up with, including the largest pinball machine in the world, Hercules! What a great game that is, not only to play, but just by its sheer size. They had a lot of older pinball games, and those console style games that we all played as kids. Though they have a few areas for little kids, most of what is on offer is for bigger kids, like me! Keep it up, Funspot...looking forward to returning soon!

I was pleasantly surprised by how many games from the 80's and 90's were there. Gauntlet, Paperboy, Dig Dug, DuckHunt, Tron, etc. plus skeeball, air hockey, tons and tons of pinball plus games you can earn tickets and get stuff that's crazy expensive compared to if you bought it lol....but it's fun playing some of them. I can't remember what we spent but it less than $100 and we were there for close to two hours. Great fun and we made some great memories playing skeeball and air hockey together. The only reason that I gave it 4 stars was the fact that I felt like there was a decent amount of games and skeeball lanes not working.

Love the place. Bring memory lane. Stay there for a long time because $20 gets me lotsa Coins. Place were well maintained, but too many patrons came without masks and nobody say anything. I was like playing in an arcade and suddenly this older man just stand beside me, without mask and makes me feeling uncomfortable. So many empty arcades but he choose standing next to me without mask

Must visit! This place is such a fun place to be. Only spent $20 and it last 3 hours there playing games and walking around. Three different floors. They have old and new games along with a mini golf course, bowling area, air hockey, and etc. The prizes are decent with the tickets won. The have a food court too with an ice cream shop. Definitely will be back.

This place is amazing!! It really felt like a 1980s arcade. Tons and tons of games...this place just kept going! Most of the cabinets did work. Only a few did not. My fiance and I had an absolute blast! Now for the cons... Not a single employee was wearing a mask...even those making and serving food. We wanted pizza, but after seeing that...we chose to pass. We wore a mask and gloves the entire time we were in the establishment and were met with glares and eyerolls from staff and patrons. It really gave us unease. That being said...we went on a Thursday night, so it wasn't super busy. We just kept our distance from others and still had a great time!

Honestly, nothing to write home about. This place needs SERIOUS updating. You can't tell me they don't make enough to fix the place up. Also, if you are advertising as "the biggest arcade in the world" you should probably try harder to live up to the standard.

Tucker from fun spot was so chill. My prizes were well worth the $20 I spent on tokens THANK GOD

I have had so many fun times at this place over the years... my husband and I head to the Laconia area every January to go tubing or skiiing, and hit up Funspot. We've done it for 5 years running. Funspot is the kind of place that doesn't change too much, but this is a good thing. All the nostalgia anyone might have for old games can be relived here. Every now and then, they bring in some new machines that are also quite addicting. The new Pac-Man system is so much fun! (You can have 4 players at one time... all 4 players are pac-man, and you can eat each other! So much fun)! This is a place you can truly spend hours, and there's plenty of things to do for those who don't enjoy video games. Mini-golf, bowling, skee-ball - and all the cheap pizza you can possibly eat. Anyone living in the northeast has no excuse not to find a long weekend and go check this place out.

I like going here, it's reminds you of simpler times. That said, there are some (-) things about this place: 1. The staff is unfriendly. Example: If a machine eats your tokens & you can actually find someone to help you, they act like you're lying about it & have this "how dare you ask for your tokens back" mentality. 2. Unfortunately this place attracts trendies & trashy "Massholes" from MA & other places. 3. They are not properly maintaining the place, despite all the money they are making. If you can get past that, it is a fun place to go from time-to-time...

6/30/19 -Updating my review as I stand here inside FUNSPOT. Same thing. A lot of the classic games just aren't in good shape. Got fed up with them and played more of the crappy ticket games. If you are here for the classic games, I highly recommend buying your tokens $5 at a time. Otherwise, you're going to be pissed off at trying to burn through them in the machines that work. This place continues to be a letdown from the place it once was.

Visited Funspot last weekend... probably my 20th visit over the last 10 years or so. We haven't been in about a year. Was saddened to see many games removed, both from the redemption game areas and the classic arcade museum. All the laserdisc games (Dragon's Lair, Space Ace, etc..) are completely gone. I even noticed that some of the redemption games have been "configured" to be harder...thus earning less tickets. Perhaps an attempt to cover some of the "red financials" of 2020. The carpet is SO WORN now, it is practically concrete. One thing I have to note... just a month ago I visited "Galloping Ghost Arcade" in Brookfield, IL. Although Funspot has the official Guinness Book of records as the world's largest arcade... it is certainly not. At one point, I think Funspot had 550 games (that number is definitely smaller now). Galloping Ghost has over 850 (and NONE of them are redemption/ticket games). So, I am a little spoiled on large arcades after visiting the arcade mecca in the midwest. I have to think there are probably arcades in Japan that are even bigger. I think Funspot may be seeing an end of an era soon. The owner is 90 and I'm not sure what the future will be after he has transitioned to the "great arcade in the sky". I assume his kids (who make up most of the executive team) will take it over and I'm hoping they can find some way to "reinvent" themselves. They definitely need a big cash infusion by an investor. One highlight to this visit was visiting their new ice cream stand. It features Richardson's ice cream and your standard soft serve selections (choco, vanilla, twist). Prices were reasonable compared to other ice cream stands.

Almost a year into the pandemic, and the majority of staff and management still are not wearing masks or have come up with any alternative solutions. *IF* some employees have a medical condition that prevents them from wearing a mask, they should not be working with the public and putting all the families in danger who go and spend money there. My family and I are local and have been coming here for years, but today we had to leave immediately (after wasting $20) because it is simply extremely unsafe. I'm not even blaming staff, but SHAME ON THE MANAGEMENT AND OWNER(S) of this establishment. It is your responsibility to provide a safe place for families. if you can't do that, close until you can guarantee a safe business. Completely unacceptable. Not only was I the bad guy for pointing this out by the way, as they asked if I would rather just have all those employees out of a job (he also tried to make the argument that masks aren't effective, which has been scientifically proven false). This is totally false and of course I care about (particularly rural) jobs. But this still does not make it okay to be walking around in a family establishment that is indoors during a pandemic without any form of protection. Assume FUNSPOT is a super spreader business and skip it until the pandemic subsides.
