I have gone to Fun World for probably the last 15 or 20 years, and have plenty of good memories from there. Now that I have a daughter, it was a natural choice to go to Fun World now that shes three and enjoys playing various games. Its pretty hard not to make comparisons to Chuck E. Cheese or Fun Spot in terms of price. The last Chuck E. Cheese we went to, every game was 1 token, but they were extremely stingy with how many tickets the various games gave out. It feels much more generous at Fun World, with games rewarding anything from 1 to 500 tickets. One of the problems with Fun World was the number of broken games. A lot of them appear to be the same games I played when I was a little kid. My other problem is the amount of space wasted by the roller coaster, I dont know what the thought process was when they added this to Fun World, but you have a deserted go cart track outside that EVERYONE wants to drive, and you add a kiddy roller coaster? Maybe it pulls in some good money, but thats a lot of space that could be occupied by some more games. I was also heart broken the full sized Mazda Miata driving game is no longer there. Overall $20.00 (plus the $7.00 in free tokens) lasted us an hour and change with a 3 year old. It seems like the prizes have gone down hill slightly. Theres some real strange ones (electric mixer, toaster, and a blender?) with some typical dollar store junk on the bottom end.

My daughter and I go here every weekend.. I was just checking the hours for this evening actually and saw the most recent review, which is an absolute JOKE! Dont review an establishment based on driving by it and assuming its bad on the inside! We absolutely LOVE going here every weekend, sometimes even on a school night if my daughter has been good. The games are great, if you can find the right game you can win a hell of a lot of tickets. Their prizes are far better than some of the arcades Ive been to, not to mention the fact that their ticket (prices) for the prizes are significantly lower than most places Ive been to. The staff is incredibly helpful and always quick to respond when they are not busy with another customer.. And yes, as another customer stated, their games run out of tickets quite frequently, which means that their games actually pay out a good amount of tickets!! Unlike some arcades out there.. People please... Think about things from a different perspective before you leave a review.. Complaining that games at an arcade give out too many tickets is just silly.

After not coming back many years I was keen on playing some games. I went with my dad and even after two hours we were out the door. The games were absolutely horrible. None of the arcade games are being properly managed. There were only two working pinball machines and the ones they had werent even good ones. One of the pinball machines even broke on us and it was brand new!. Maybe two years old! Their racing games seemed like the wheels where damaged and not easy to control. One of their games down stairs got jammed with the tickets. The inside looks like its falling apart as well as the outside. I was even concerned when I saw a piece of wiring sticking out where there was water dripping on it from the outside! Talk about fire hazard! Its clear the owner doesnt care about this place anymore and has let it go. It needs some serious remodeling and a ton of new games because the ones they have arent great or broken. Its a shame to see a place that used to be fun in such a terrible state.

Despite looking dilapidated on the outside, this place is actually fairly aesthetically pleasing on the inside. Its well lit and most of the machines are well taken care of. Has a vibe similar to Funspot. Pros: Kids have a decent amount to do and there are enough games for adults to enjoy themselves as well. Food prices are very reasonable and you wont break the bank feeding a crew. Mini-bowling alley which is perfect for small kids to try out without the need for shoe rentals. Cons: There are a few rides here and they are each super expensive. One kid size roller-coaster, a spinny ride, and the big two story carousel. Each one is 3-4 dollars to ride once which is a huge turn off: I understand these things are not cheap to maintain, but if youre on a budget, keep the kids focused on earning tickets and go to a fair to get the ride experience.

Dont buy bracelet or pay for the rides (not worth). Other Token games are OK. The roller coaster and the other spinning ride is too harsh - your kids will come out hurting their body. Carousel is nice and beautiful - but only little kids will like it. And the play area is also not very interesting. You can have out door park more fun. So DO NOT waste your money buying the bracelet ($10 or $20). Instead buy 128 coins for $20 - and play coin based games on the 2nd floor or let them collect coupons/tickets for prizes on the main floor games. It is better value than chuck e cheese. But many games just eat coins (without let your kids play). You have to keep asking attendants to fix those game and give your coins back. Today it was very quite - someone would come to help to recover lost coins in 3-5 mins, but on busy days - forget it.

Decided to bring my kids (4&7) here yesterday. Growing up this place was a blast and I figured the boys would love it.When we pulled in the parking lot my first impression that the place seemed kind of dirty and unkempt. When we walked in the first thing I noticed was the filthy kitchen. The teenage kids working were handling food without gloves, one touched her hair, then her ear, and touched the unmade pizza she was working with. The floors were nasty and covered in food. and The staff seem unenthusiastic for life, almost like they cant be bothered. Tons of the games were out of order, and the bathrooms were horrendous. Do yourself a favor and dont go there. When we left, I felt so dirty. My kids werent impressed. I prefer Space Center in Hooksett any day.

I love the games ... Getting a little old though my boyfriend his daughter and me go a lot we have like one of all the prizes lol... I wish they would get different vintage games .. Oh and the DDRs: 1 doesnt work anymore, they have a crappy "wanna be" one that idk any of the songs, and the one in the corner you have to play it on the p2 side b.c the p1 side doesnt work ... If you want enough tickets to get anything good you have to spend 20$ in tokens On the "price is right" games near the deal or no deal or the "Egyptian" ones behind the ticket eaters there the best pay outs .. . ... Oh and the pacman game down there stinks go the the one on the second floor its the classic game and you get 3 lives no matter what

This place is ok I guess, something always seems to be broken. We went last night with some friends and it was good. The guitar hero game had coins jammed in it by some vandal and most of the pinball machines are very, very used. my girlfriend and I each pitched in 10$ and split the free 7$ with 20$ token purchase so we each got 13.50 worth of tokens and spend about an hour playing the not broken games. Honestly I dont understand why they have a doodle jump or cut the rope game, I can get that on my phone for free. Fix guitar hero and fix that really Cool room size space simulator you have. Its a fun afternoon for 10$ but it could be better with some TLC.
