Customer Reviews

Went here for my son?s birthday with his two siblings and two cousins. The place is huge and packed with fun activities for all ages. The kids had an absolute blast. Also pleasantly surprised by the solid food options available onsite. Great spot for a family outing or party.

Honestly SO FUN! And Very Cheap, compared to all the other "play places" we've been. So much to do, and even a little game area for younger children. Just lost one star because the food is mediocre, not many drink choices, and you can't bring in your own snacks or drinks. But just feed the kids before you go and it's an awesome time!!

Absolutely a fun place for all ages! They have various different types of games ranging from racing games to fighting games and even some classic arcade style games. On top of that, they have a massive 2 story Merry-Go-Round and other rides INSIDE the building. I'd highly recommend bringing kids & family here!

Plenty of arcade fun well actually three floors full of games. First time here and the prices and the customer service skills were excellent for two children to be entertained for a few hours of fun. Thank you for the great family fun night at a great affordable rate. For this you receive a very good rating/review.

Place is skeezy. Lots of broken games, no one attending the rides, play area is closed. Several rooms being used as storage. Old racetrack outside, clearly not being used. Lower parking deck is closed, so parking is limited. Bathrooms were gross, no urinals in the men's room. Only two stall and one was small enough that an adult would have trouble sitting down. Saw several old creepy dudes walking around without kids. The only positive was that the machines weren't that token hungry and $20 (plus free $7 b

Subject: Concerns about Customer Service and Military Discount Verification at FunWorld Nashua Dear FunWorld Management, I am writing to express my disappointment and concern about the poor customer service my family experienced during our visit to FunWorld in Nashua on Saturday, February 15,2025 Firstly, we observed the cashier being rude to her trainee, cutting him off mid-conversation while he was assisting us. This behavior was unprofessional and uncomfortable to witness. Furthermore, when we asked

Great time for our four-and-a-half-year-old. Plenty of stuff for her to do and was easy to spend two hours there. All of the employees were great and you get to leave with a prize what's better than that..( if you win enough tickets). They have time crisis 5!

Fun world is always a blast! They have multiple arcade games, a whole separate section for younger children! This Place is very affordable with a playground on the second floor! Tons of options for prizes to chose from winning tickets at the arcade games!

If your children love ticket games, this is the place to be. I really wanted to ride the 2 story indoor carousel but there was a line, and no one was running it in person to ask about special tickets or rider limits. I saw an original Centipede cabinet on the top floor and was super excited, hoping desperately to find more than a Mrs. Pacman vintage cab with someone clearly spending their day there, and 8 mediocre pinball machines. Had there been a half dozen more retro games in all the empty space I would

Surprisingly fun place in a tucked away location in the middle of the hustle and bustle if Nashua. Lot of people visiting and kids of all ages roaming the three levels. You can buy tokens using cash. It's 4 token for $1 and arcade games start at 2 tokens. It doesn't have a newsih feel and that what makes it interesting to visit.

Good place for bringing kids to an indoor amusement center. Some small rides, a ball pit play area, and arcade games. Games for small kids are on the lower level. Shooting and driving arcade games are on the second floor. Pinball is on the third floor. Some games reward you with tickets which purchase prizes in their store of fun stuff. I took off 1 star because they only had one fighting game. I took off another star because the cafe could be better by offering more options such as salad or fruit.

Great place for kids , affordable, fun, and I would recommend it to those who have kids. They enjoyed themselves as well as I did.. Pin ball games , old school games and enjoyable games. Great atmosphere, 3 floors, great for all ages.

It's full of nostalgia, and I had a good time. But I have to dock 2 stars because you guys got rid of Gauntlet Legends, but kept the broken old rafting and skateboarding games?

Many machines are broken and several are out of service all together. Rides were closed with no mention of this on the website. That being said it was priced right and we had a good time despite how outdated and neglected the place is

I have not been to Fun World since 1993 when I had a party for my then 2yr old. My grandson (7) had a wonderful time. Very age appropriate. Only problem I had was the inside slide was $12. Someone in Marketing missed the mark. I would have paid $5 per hour for each child. Every hour change the color bands

My son was thoroughly entertained in the play area and carousel. Tickets are pretty inexpensive. This place is a godsend during winters when it's hard to engage kids outside and nothing is available nearby to engage kids.

Great old school arcade. We didn't use the play area but it would be good if you have an older arcade kid and a younger child in tow though $12 to enter play area is a little steep. The rides were closed which was disappointing to the kids but not to me. Lots of opportunities to get tickets and the prizes were pretty good.

For the variety of activities this is the best value of all the indoor play places in southern NH. Indoor amusement park rides, huge indoor play ground, and arcade games at reasonable pricing with decent prizes.

Fun World is good place to hangout with the family. Love the architecture of the building. The outside castle look is awesome. They have tons of games and the food is good. We love this place.

DDR Extreme is 3 tokens per set, and StepmaniaX is 4 tokens per set. Recently, there was a maintenance effort to clean the pads and make the panels less recessed. DDR Extreme I was able to play two sets of three 10-footers back to back (although admittedly it was painful because I'm not really in shape lol). There's also a community of dance game players that come over from time to time.

Fun world is a great arcade and playground. Great for a day with the kids. In fact I've been going since I was a kid myself. Haha.

I love this place. They could update the tickets to the electronic system, but whatever. There's slicker arcades out there, but my kids play much, much longer for the money and get comparatively better prizes. It's my favorite in New England. I'm not going to spend $100 for my kids to play at D&B?s for one hour when we can play almost three hours here.

Brought the kids over holiday break, they loved it. Very good price. Bring cash to get more tokens from coin machine.

3 floors of fun. I guess we came too late for the roller-coaster, and the merry go round. They were closed. But there were so many fun games. Retro, too. A large selection of shooting games. The halo game is super immersive! Two screens! Some the games are old and showing wear. There was a Chinese game that stole my last two tokens! Arrrhggh! Well I won both times I used the claw machine so I felt like a champ anyway!

Great place for the kids to burn some energy! Very affordable and ticket to prize ratio is very good. 20 dollars should last you about 30 min to 1 hour of activities if you take your time.

Kids loved it although the play areas closed for covid the Carousel was open as well as all there games. Really good place to blow a couple hrs and 20 bucks having fun

My kids really like it, great place for rainy days. People are wonderful, reasonable price Great location!

Fun for kiddos, a little dirty. Bring some hand sanitizer and just don't look too closely at most surfaces and you'll have a fun time.

I been going here since I was a baby it'd a bit dingy but it nostalgic and full of memories. Love to see whole renovation but I do love old arcade feeling. Went here one last time before moving and I'm going to miss it

Great place for the family. Kids had an amazing time even though the 3 story fun house is not in use because of covid 19 restrictions. But you can still go on their in door roller-coaster and the merry go round. Overall good fun and inexpensive too. That's always a plus ??

I really love this place so much I'm 23 now been going there since I was a kid, if I become a millionaire I'm buying out the place so it never dies it's basically a Konami museum at this point it's as authentically vintage as it gets after pinball wizard went out of business

Friendly service and fun arcade games. It uses traditional coin-operated machines and prize tickets, which is fading out as time goes on. I hope they don't change this because the vintage feel gives this place uniqueness compared to other arcades.

1st time I have been here in 30 years! My 8 year old grandson had fun with $20 worth of tokens for over an hour. I remember it being very dark inside, now it's bright and safe. We had a good time together.

Great place for kids to have fun and enjoy. I wish they had an elevator, though.

My son had a birthday party and it was a lot of fun!!!

My 10 year old daughter would give this place 5 stars. I would give it two or three. I am splitting the difference. The place has all the stuff kids that age love and the games spit out tickets and you can buy the typical stuff with the tickets. I don't like going. It feels dirty and while I am sure the parking garage is safe but it just feels structurally unsound. What I do like is that there are generally not a lot of unsupervised teenagers, it's mostly families. So for $20 well have a good 1-1.5 hour

Really a great place for The family, lots of fun & games with prices

It's about what you'd expect from a place like this. Most of the facilities seem like they're being held together with duct tape (in some cases this is the actual situation). You have to wait to do the rides most of the time because they only have 1 attendant operating all 3 rides even in the middle of the day on a Saturday so only 1/3 rides is operating at any time. Also, the handicap access to the 2nd floor is outside on an uncovered root ridden path with a door that only opens from the inside so my son's

My family and I have never had a bad time at Fun World. This place is for all ages of kids and adults. 3 floors of indoor video games, rides, and food. everyone found an arcade game they loved.

Been coming here since I was a child (25yrs) and have great memories but I feel like they don't put money back into this place. The go kart track is looking run down and I doubt it's opperational, they have a roller coaster that I've never seen running, the kids play center they make you go downstairs to pay for it which is a pain because we always forget and they have an attendant at the playground so it shouldn't be hard to just pay as you enter. The play center looks absolutely disgusting and I highly d

Good to see all the arcade games of my past... wish the Star Wars Trilogy was working but maybe next time

It is a fun place for the kids. They love playing the games and running around. However, the owners need to take better care of the equipment. There are many games that have broken parts, don't work properly, take tokens and don't do anything, don't give you tickets when the game is done, etc. It's an alarming percentage of the machines, and it's depressing when your kid wants to play a game, its broken, so you go to the next one they are excited to play, and that one is broken too. Again, kids will always

Fun world has no admission price which is great, but the down fall is everything else costs quiet a bit of monies. I also wish the toys were just a smidge better versus dollar store qualities, all in all the kids had fun!

I wish there were more retro video games.... that worked... ??

Took my kids here today because I had fond memories of coming here on summer camp field trips growing up. I knew it would be a little run down but an arcade is an arcade. We let them play in the playground area with tubes and slides and after about 45 minutes of playing in that area my husband and I spotted a raccoon on the play equipment. The young girl who was watching the area was very nice and did immediately call up two other employees. They however did not at all seem concerned and didn't even stop an

Fun World is great for all ages! Indoor roller coasters, three floor jungle gym, carousel , bowling and many games ! Love it!

This place for arcades is nice but went down, The people that were playing the arcade games I wanted to play were being people kept hog in the games in the first floor and third floor, I ask them if I can take a turn and they told me to go away, very rude, The rides were 5 stars, it made me had more fun then the games. After that I wanted to go to the third floor. I like doing music games, First was playing dance dance revolution, When playing the down step was off, it didn't work making me failed the game,

This place is awesome, a bit outdated but all the games are reasonably priced. They still use coins and tickets which is awesome for kids to feel like they won when they see the tickets!

Brought our youngest child here (3 yr old) for the first time on Saturday. He absolutely loved it. They are a lot cleaner then before, much more of a comfortable setting for the kids to play. Staff is a little scarce for the merry go round and the mini rides but they're there if you ask. Games are well kept, though there were about 4 of the little kid games that just ate our tokens and gave no ride or game. All in all, my son had an absolute blast.

My daughter was super scared of this place. She doesn't scare easily but it Had an eerie feel to it, especially when we were the only ones on the carousel. I love things that are a little dated but the entire place is dated and not appealing when you walk in.

Recently visited with my young daughters for a birthday party, it was their first time there. I haven't been to Fun World for at least 12 years. Still looks the same and the games still eat your tokens. Many games were out of order. The pizza is still delicious. The bathroom was cleaner than I remembered. The prices for the indoor slide area, the carousel and the roller coaster are still what I think - too pricey Overall my daughters had a blast!

Took my daughter here while I she was visiting. Lots of games to play and pricing for games was pretty standard. Only a couple things I would recommend? 1. Hire someone to fix your pinball machines?flippers would stick on nearly every game I played. 2. Not sure if there was some water damage in the facility but it definitely had that unique odor when you first walk in the entrance.

2nd time here however limited for 1yr playing too congested

Most people think fun world is for kids, but it's not its for everyone. They have pretty much everything a common arcade would have, I always have the best time you can win all sorts of prizes. The service is amazing the employee at the prize counter (Lily) was very nice and seemed under payed, she gave me 3 tootsie rolls when I only had enough for 2. Fun world also very in expensive $20 on tokens isn't bad for a child. Highly recommend for family trips. And children all ages

If you want a great place for video games where kids can earn a lot of tickets, this place is great. Lots of games for varying age groups and interests from ride in type arcade games to pinball machines to ski ball and other ticket paying games. For a rainy afternoon, this place works great for keeping kiddos busy and entertained without paying big money arcade prices.

As much I use to enjoy playing arcade there I felt there lack alot broken machine Second Floor and I also the racing game are good there but most the game like Daytona USA are not link up to 4 player head to head just solo played and Inital D is not even up to vs play Wangan Midnight 2 is good but number 4 machine the wheel is not playable in other word the wheel is just bad to played 2 and 3 are good to play player 1 just has some reboot issue but it ok Sega Machine are just hard to mantain these days do I

I have fond memories of coming here as a child. I bring my children here but it is definitely not the same experience. While it's still really fun and they are constantly getting new games, there's a lot of things in disrepair. Pretty much the entire building needs to be updated, old carpet, stained ceilings, the same broken machines forever covered, no go-karts anymore, and the playground area costs $12 a kid!! The prizes are worse than chuck e cheese prizes and the games COST WAY TOO MANY TOKENS! And last

My kids and I absolutely love this place. There are so many games, a couple of rides, inexpensive comfort foods, and more. This place has a nostalgic feel to it, and is every kids dream, playtime inside a ?castle?. If you have a few kids and only a few bucks, a little money goes a long way here. My 4 kids can enjoy 2 hours of games, eat, and go on a ride for $70?. We go almost every weekend!

Me and my daughter come here regularly and it's always a good time. Lots of games to win tickets and lots of arcade games just for fun. There are games from all generations here and you'll surely find one of your childhood favorites. Have a little extra patience with staff. I know they are struggling with employees like everyone else. Kitchen and dining areas are actually pretty nice for an arcade. Food is pretty basic. Unfortunately you get all kinds of people here that will take advantage of young kids. M

It's an okay place but has a lot of broken machines that eat coins without signs on them saying they are broken. Staff is friendly but the prizes for tickets need an update. A lot of prizes for small children, none for teens, and a cheap blender for adults. There are better arcades.

Went to fun world tonight. Sunday, with 2 children I was watching while their parents went for dinner. The kids had a wonderful time. Plus we met a terrific young man, Dylan, who was so kind and caring. The kids really liked him. They even told their parents about him.

Fun place to be at me and my brother had a blast. Just hoping that they can fix most of the broken down arcade machines and the ones that keep eating the quarters. Possibly test all games and make a list than have there mechanics fixs the small problems. Other than that very fun for friends, family and more. Coming back in April with younger siblings Possibly some family. Hope they get the coin dispenser fixes by than so me and my younger brother can try all the games

Oldest place I can still say my kids enjoy just as I did as a kid!

Not as sketchy as it looks from the outside. It's your typical video arcade/play space on steroids. My 4.5yo attended a birthday party and they had pizza, cake, and ice cream (all of which tasted not too bad) and then received a ticket to the playground, which is a massive hamster tunnel/slide/bouncy house/cargo net structure that would normally cost $12 for entry. They kids could easily spend 2+ hours in there alone. But we also received a bag of tokens, so we took the kids to play some of the games. The

Good value for the money. 3 floors. Haven't been since I was probably 10, took my 10 and 1 yr old and both had a great time. Playground is well worth the 6 bucks a kid. Actually better than I expected. Pizza wasn't bad at all. Games seemed to be working and stocked with tickets. Prizes weren't too crazy either, seemed reasonable. Hard to lose a kid too despite the 3 floors. Went on a Sunday at 1230.. got a little busier by 3pm but still wasn't too packed. Went to Apex recently in Marlborough and it was horr

Hours of fun for the whole family and it won't drain the wallet.

Dating a nerdy girl/guy? Great place for a date. Not even kidding. You get $27 worth of tokens for $20. If you each pop in a $20, you're bound to have hours of fun. The food there is surprisingly good. I wouldn't go there for the pizza, but if I'm there I'm getting the pizza. I'm not sure if I've tried anything other than pizza and fries, but I've never been disappointed. They could offer adult sized cups for adults, though. It has three floors of games. Unless you really want to play a specific game, you

Nice place, our kids are really like the ?Fun World?. Trully, most of the machines and rides haven't changed for decades and kinda outdated, and the winnings have become much smaller in recent years, but it is still a great place! Plenty of parking, friendly personnel, clean restrooms and pizza ?? without huge line ??

I love this place. From small child to adult, everyone can enjoy. You purchase coins to play. With every game, you get some tickets back. In the end, you get toys/gifts for earned tickets. Kids love that. If you think about the cost of coins and cost of toys returned, it seems like the owner is not too profit motived and is having priority on satisfaction of customers. We have been there three times and every time, we enjoyed very very much!!! Thank you Fun World!!

Amazing place for kids to play games win tickets and get price, bowling couple rides to do and they have a little fun park as well. It always stays crowded but they have many things to do so people get divided everywhere. We had blast planning to visit again soon.

Weird, old, a little decrepit. An interesting place to visit.

Great place to bring your kids for a fun time (especially in the cold weather months). Lots of games to play. There is a huge indoor play area that my 7 yr old daughter can play in for hours without getting bored. There is also a little roller coaster on the top floor that she Loves! There is another carnival type ride there as well (it goes in circles). The price for the rides and the play area are very reasonable. There is food on site but I would say it is average at best. Other than that awesome place t

My son had fun playing all the games. Of course, the cost of tickets per prize is crazy but normal. The carousel was running, but I didn't see any other ride operating.

My daughter had a wonderful birthday party. They accommodated us last minute, very satisfied ??????

Is a great place to bring your kids. The play area is huge. Three stories and there is hundred of games.

My 2 year old and 10 year old both love it here, plenty of games for both ages as well as adults! The food isn't that great so we usually just stick to drinks. There is an area with toddler friendly games and small rides on the first floor and another toddler area upstairs near the playground entrance. We have a great time playing games and enjoying the playground. The prizes for tickets they have to offer are plentiful and also a variety within different ticket ranges. The staff is always friendly as well.

Love this place.. I just wish it was open till 9 on weekends.. Had that old school penny arcade on beach front tourist strips I remember visiting as a child... Tokens, physical tickets, classic 80s video games, ect. .. Some of machines can be finicky but if you are familiar with jingling the coin slot return and usually corrects the issue . Definitely fun times and fun world

Very clean fun place for children of all ages! Staff was friendly and accommodating. My grandson loved it! We were not even out the door and he asked when can we come back. One of the games was not working properly and a staff member quickly came to fix the problem. Pizza was good too! Ice Cream a bit on the expensive side considering the portion size.

3 floors of fun and a nice big gym area with long slides,ball pit and much more. They have a carousel, roller coaster and more as well as many arcade games. Perfect to enjoy with family and friends of any age. They have a room for toddlers and younger next to the gym to enjoy. They have a dining area (no outside food). Great place to have a birthday party.

My kids really enjoy all the games and they have a large assortment of prizes. My real problem is the high cost for the low quality food. And 1.99 for drinks with no refills and a really small cup. Definitely only bringing my kids here for special occasions.

Great fun, so nostalgic because I used to go there as a kid in the late 90s and loved it! The nostalgic part is that I felt like I stepped back in time. Almost everything was the same I think besides the cafe area. But it's budget friendly and so much to do. I look forward to taking my daughter there as she gets a little bigger. It def could use a little TLC but it didn't stop us from having a good time. Staff was friendly and bathrooms were clean also.

They've cleaned it up quite a bit. Classic place with lots of vintage and unique games.

This place has seen better days. Looked very run down in most areas and smelled heavily of cleaner. Also way too crowded. Barely had room to walk around comfortably.

Great time for the kids, free entry and $20 in games lasted my 2 kids about an hour and a half, granted they are more reserved than most the kids we saw. On that note, it is loud. Make sure to bring a tylenol if prone to headaches.

Tons of fun! Tokens are affordable. Basic fried foods I'm dinning area (not gf friendly). Everything from Skeeball to DDR and Time Crisis. I want to give 5 stars but we had a high number of tokens eaten by machines. There is a pay to enter play area. Real shame the big rides don't work!

This place holds so many memories from my own childhood and my kids' childhoods. I wish it were in better shape. Everything was very clean, but the building is getting old and some of the attractions weren't working. Also, the go kart track desperately needs to be reopened. At least the DDR and ITG machines were still in good working order.

It is a place for family fun or could be a place for a nice date night or friends hang out. There are lots of arcade games for everyone to enjoy. Although some machines get faulty,management does try to work on them in good time. I would suggest this place to anyone. No mask required during my recent visit in April, 2022.

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! Don't review an establishment based on driving by it and assuming it's 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 I've been to

Frequently Asked Questions

What’s it like visiting an arcade today?

It’s a mix of nostalgia and high-energy fun! Many arcades blend retro classics like Pac-Man and pinball with modern VR games, racing simulators, and rhythm challenges — often with music, lights, and a social vibe.

Is it better to go alone or with friends?

Both can be great! Solo visits let you focus on your favorite games, while going with friends adds competition, teamwork, and laughs. Many people plan arcade meetups as a casual hangout or even date spot.

What should I bring to an arcade?

Usually just yourself and a way to pay (some arcades still use coins, others use cards or apps). If you're competitive, bring your A-game. If you're social, bring friends or meet new ones over multiplayer games.

What’s the best time to visit an arcade?

Weekdays or early afternoons are usually less crowded — perfect for focused play. Evenings and weekends bring the buzz, especially at barcades or venues with DJs, tournaments, or themed nights.

Can I meet new people at arcades?

Absolutely! Arcades attract a mix of casual players and serious gamers. Whether you're jumping into a four-player co-op or chatting between rounds, it's a fun, low-pressure way to connect over shared interests.

Are arcades still just for kids?

Not at all. While many arcades are family-friendly, there are also adult-oriented ones with full bars, 18+ nights, or vintage nostalgia themes. Arcades today cater to everyone — from first-timers to lifelong gamers.

Are there events or tournaments I can join?

Yes! Many arcades host regular competitions, retro nights, cosplay parties, and more. Whether you're into high scores or just want to watch and vibe, events add an extra layer to the experience.

What if I’m not great at arcade games?

No worries — arcades are about having fun, not being perfect. Try a variety of games, ask others for tips, and remember: the vibe is more “let’s play” than “let’s win.”

Why are arcade prize games so exciting to play?

Arcade prize games are a thrilling highlight in 2025! Claw machines, skee-ball, and ticket-redemption games like basketball offer a rush of skill and chance, with rewards like plushies, toys, or electronics up for grabs. Modern machines feature vibrant lights, digital scoreboards, and responsive controls, amplifying the fun. The lively arcade atmosphere, with cheering crowds and buzzing energy, makes every win feel epic.
