Our party called ahead to confirm the time the skating rink would be open until and they told us 11. We arrived around 7 did mini golf,race cars, and the arcade before heading to to the rink. At 9:30 we get in for our hour and half skate time or so we thought. 2 of the people in our party managed to get there skates on and make 3 laps around the rink,the other was still in line for skates when they announced they were closing at 10 instead of 11. Manager refused to issue full refund which would have been appropriate given the situation.

We visited Funway for my best friends bachelor party. We had a great time and enjoyed playing classic arcade games as well as brand new high tech games. The facilities were clean and they offered many options for entertainment. Thank you Funway.

I grew up going to Funway 35 years ago. Brought my 7 year old daughter back last night and had a great time! Super friendly staff throughout the skating rink. Fun at the arcade and bumper boats. We had a fantastic time and took me back a generation to my youth.

We love Funway! We just usually do the outdoor things.. Everything is so fun and the workers were almost all super friendly. Prices are pretty fair too.

Always a fun place. Wish I seen a bit more sanitation going on. Other than that it is always a great place

Woulda been a great night if all my homies would played on my team instead of ditching me. but ill give it 2 stars since my grammar college professor played on my team and let me call him by his first name. #bestdayever #worstdayever #wishiwasthere

Very clean and nice employees. Its frustrating not to be able to use the Funway card for food and drink (which are, of course, overpriced, but not as bad as a movie theater). The rides are well run, clearly with safety in mind. Its a joy to come back to a place I first visited over 55 yrs ago when they were just a go-kart track on the east side of 25, about 1/10th of a mile north of current location.

Great place, lots of fun, however staff dont wear face coverings all the way or at all and dont enforce guests to wear them even though there is signs all over the place. Arcade machines arent cleaned as well

This place offers arcades for children of all ages, they have roller bladding down stairs as well (check on line for pricing) they also have go carts out side in the back during spring summer and fall, as well as bumper boats, and batting right next to that. One of my favorite feature if this place is the bowling down stair we came here frequently with our family and its so inexpensive I think its 20$ for 1 hour its very fun. they have plenty of parking in front or the building and also on the side, this pla e is also great for hosting birthday parties.

Never knew this place existed but apparently its been around for a long time. They do a good job to keep the place looking updated. A lot of things to do. We didnt get a chance to do the outdoor activities and will probably come back to try the water bumper boats, batting cages, etc.

Nice place for families to have an afternoon of fun. Bowling, roller skating, arcade games, and a bunch of other things for the kids and family to do. Went roller skating for the first time in 30+ years. Nice rink but the rental skates are not that good. The rest of the facility looked nice and i will have to check out the bowling and other activites next time we go.

Had a good time bowling and drank some beer. It was a bit warm inside, I had to step outside for some air. Other than that I had a great time. Wasnt crowded.

Place is great. Unfortunately it’s a shame that when I go get drinks at the bar and spend a lot of money I am unable to leave a tip for the bartender on my cc. This needs to change. Most people don’t carry cash. It’s embarrassing for your customers who have to look the bartender in the face and say sorry I have no cash. These people are hard workers and offer great service. They deserve more. Please fix it

Review №36

Its fun.the game room is a waste of money. Its fun, but it burns through the 20-50 bucks u put on the card in 10 min crazy.. Bowling is always fun there, they got a 30 dollar 1hour long up to 6 people shoes are included. Decent food and drinks for the same ol price u see everywhere you try to go out to.. Staff is friendly. Skating is also fun skates are nice, they got little walkers for beginners 4a little extra.. All in all its a fun place to go. I would recommend it to anyone..

This place hasnt changed much since I was a kid. Still has a big roller rink, batting cages etc. Now with bowling and laser tag! Normally we go every couple of months and do their bowling deal for an hour. They keep everything clean and the staff is friendly and helpful. We always have fun and are willing to go back. They dont have anything special, but its good old fashioned fun.

I only love this because I grew up here and to see the overwhelming progression is amazing. Still full of scantly clad teenage girls, teenage boys overly doused in cologne, plenty to do for a price, and now newly equipped with drunk parents. See back in my day your parents dropped you off to go get drunk without you.

Review №44

Really disappointed, my daughter and I came in for some post dinner bowling on a Saturday and Sunday and were told all 20 of their lanes are full up from the hours of 545-930 pm. For parents who work and kids are in school the weekends are the only days that work, I could understand if half of the lanes were reserved for leagues but it’s literally the entire bowling alley. I saw quite a few other families being turned away as well. For being a family friendly place it sure is a let down for the kids, I’m not sure we’ll be back.

It looked a little weird on the outside, my opinion, but once I got in, it was amazing. There was everything it promised. The skating floor was huge and so was everything else, along with the amazing gas powered go carts, but the only problem was the food. It tasted...ok...and was cold. We also waited a great amount of time just to get a hamburger, and 2 sides, and there wasnt anyone in line...

They offer so much for kids & families! Bowling, roller skating, mini golf, batting cages, laser tag, arcades. Had my son’s birthday here, did laser tag, bumper cars, roller skating and reserved room. The kids had SO MUCH fun. Great price and an awesome experience. Most impressed with maintenance & attention to detail. Been to other locations that were dirty w/ broken arcades. Not here. Everything works and is well maintained.My only complaint is slow service at one of the concessions. Took a very long time for one pretzel.

Loads to do, we went for the roller disco which was surprisingly quiet for a Saturday! They have good music, requests, and games. The arcade is run by using cards which you top up, its nice because you can decide how much you want to spend.

Lane 15 jammed up 6 times in 3 games..unsupervised kid threw a ball down my lane. The food we ordered sat on the counter getting cold while we were waiting at the food counter. Still like the place just not a food visit today.

The kids played games, mini golf, go karts, laser tag, bumper cars, trampoline basketball, water boats. They had a lot of fun! Dont let them use all of their money on arcade games though.

Went for a birthday party and my kids had a blast. The staff was great and friendly. My son didnt have enough money on his account to cover the full price of the last game and the gentleman was kind enough to still let him jump on the basketball hoop. Thanks to all of you my children had a blast. Highly recommend!

The brand new outdoor mini golf course is well done. Fun to play, challenging without being frustrating, and each hole is unique. No fancy moving pieces, but still a well made, basic course with a good bit of ramps and layers. We had coupons for 2 free rounds of golf, but since the course is new and the price went from $4 to $7, we still had to pay the difference in the price change.They are definitely making some positive changes as the place was looking a bit run down in recent years. We also love coming here for family skate night. We bring our own rollerblades and it is very affordable even for our larger family.

Review №79

My high school team both boys and girls, which are well-known for the area goes here as their new house since the old one went into bankruptcy. Nice lanes for games and such but staff isnt that nice and have poor manners. Managers werent as great either as the last time I was there trying to figure what lanes we are on for practice, they just sat down looking at their phones and didnt even acknowledge my presence unless I made an obvious loud noise. Whenever we had to ask for a lane fix for a pin getting knocked down or lane just stops working, it always felt like an inconvenience to them. Other than that Mike is awesome. Half of the girls on the team gotten bowling balls with him and love it.
