Customer Reviews

Our birthday host was amazing. We love the simple set up, cleanliness & service the whole time we were there. I didn't need to do a single thing. My daughters & their friends had so much fun. Thank you all so much for an awesome service. We will definitely come back. God bless!

Despite some skepticism about a 16-year-old having a birthday party at Funquest, we booked it only five days before the date. Booking online was easy. The staff was super friendly and very efficient and knew what they were doing. Everything was streamlined and went off without a hitch. They were able to refrigerate my items and hold gifts securely. All the teenagers had a lot of fun. Thank you!

The floor needs a good, thick coating of Roll on. The wood planks go in different directions, especially in the turns. So.. young inexperienced skaters fall as a result, which can cause injury..I am an experienced former competitor, and I can't even grip that floor. Just trying to shuffle is a struggle. But otherwise, it's a very Kool place, the staff are super friendly! The music is awesome and it is a positive place! They offer beer, but can't sell it, because the entire staff are all under the age of 21.

Really wish we site said they had changed there indoor play ground is no longer there only a bounce house in its place and they do charge for kids under two now... update your rude response to me saying that I just wish it was posted on your website which it was not and still is not. I do follow you on social media but do not stalk the site to see your everyday changes. I have always talked very highly of this place as I've been coming to since I was a child. I was merely stating that y'all have nothing on

We celebrated our daughter?s 7th birthday here and it was probably the best party event we have paid for!! Stephanie was amazing and so accommodating by making sure we had everything we needed. We did a Wicked theme and she found extra plates and cups to go along with our theme colors. The facility was clean and the party was well organized. All the our party friends and kids had the best time and we can't wait to go back to FunQuest. Thank you for helping us celebrate our girl!!!

Love this place, we have been coming to Funquest for years celebrating my daughter Zoe's birthday. She calls it her OG... Everyone is always awesome.

I was a regular Saturday skater in the late 70?s (Skate Town) - this establishment has positively been transformed into a great place for children and families. It was my first time back since the 70?s to attend a family birthday party today. The birthday party room was great - the staff served and cleaned the area for the rented table. It was quite full when we arrived, but is was Organized CHAOS - in a good way! The girls behind the food counter and party check-in were attentive and welcoming. Great plac

This is our third time having a party at FunQuest. Our host was so great, she helped a lot. Also being so busy and a person getting hurt on the skate rink tthey handle it all like it was just another day. Definitely recommend!

Amazing!! We had my son's 7th birthday party at FunQuest and it was the best birthday party! Staff were absolutely awesome and the skating, games, etc. were incredibly fun. My son and his friends are still talking about it and can't wait to go back.

My 5 and 11 year olds loved their birthday party here. From pizza and ice cream to skating, laser tag, arcade games, and jungle gym (playquest). It was a hit for everyone ranging from ages 2-14 years old. It was amazing. Delaney was super sweet as our hostess and the manager Stephanie really made sure it was above expectations. Will definitely be booking again.

We had my son?s birthday party here and had a wonderful experience! Everyone from the lady at the front to our party guy Jayden everyone was so friendly and kind. The customer service was great and treated each and one of our guests with respect. Glad we chose fun quest to have our party!

We had a great time celebrating my son?s 5th birthday at FunQuest. When we arrived they let us know they upgraded our party at no charge. The party host was great and allowed me to sit back and watch for a change! 10/10 recommend!

We had a great experience celebrating at FunQuest for a birthday party. FunQuest handled everything and made the process so smooth. Hannah made the birthday girl feel so special. We will definitely be back for future parties.

Updated review to say thanks for providing some discounted days. We were there for Memorial Day, and my son and his friend had a great time. Loved the earlier hours and the discounted price. My only criticism that's negative is the music is way too loud, and there are way too many flashing lights. My son has mild epilepsy and this is so overwhelming for him. I cannot believe that anyone thinks this is normal.

Had my 6yr old daughter?s birthday here Sunday and it was fantastic! Salem our party host was SO nice and patient during all the party festivities. Definitely the way to go if you're looking for an easy party idea. The kids stayed after the party and continued to enjoy themselves.

Maverick had a great birthday party! Our party host was great!

Funquest hosted my sons 7th birthday party. Their customer service was absolutely amazing from the moment of Stephanie confirming his party with me and going over all the details to Delaney being an exceptional party host. If you are looking for a great place to host a birthday party, Funquest is amazing especially with everything the party package comes with.

Pretty good but admission is a little much, about $16 without skate rental. And the parents have got to teach their kids to pay attention to their surroundings and to what they're doing, but I guess you can't teach your kids what you don't know yourself.

My daughter had her 8th birthday party at funquest. The kids had a great time and the staff were very professional and helpful. I highly recommend having your kids party here!!

My favorite time to take my daughter is Monday nights 6pm for Cheap skate, our favorite employee is Jaden he is very nice and helpful, and he should get a raise for being so awesome!

We came for an unlimited event that was scheduled 12-6 for NYE and it included unlimited pizza soda and skating. We arrived at 4:15 and at 4:30 they had dancing and a balloon drop in the middle of the skating rink so you couldn't skate, and at 5:30 when it ended my friend and I went to get skates and they weren't letting people skate anymore. We knew they had a balloon drop but the time wasn't listed, so we didn't get to skate at all even though we arrived 1.75 hrs before close. AND at 5:50 I asked for more

Our 4 year old loved FunQuest for his birthday! They took care of practically everything for us, and Delaney was the best! We will definitely be back for future birthdays!!!

We were there for my daughter?s birthday and we had a blast! The staff were all friendly and professional. Hailey was our party person and she was wonderful. The areas were clean and well kept. Overall just a great experience. ??

We recently had our 7 year olds birthday party at FunQuest and he had a blast. They handled everything for the party, making it seamless and super easy!

We had a great 12th Birthday for my daughter at Funquest! They were super helpful, communicative & made sure we had a fun time! Will definitely recommend to my friends. Our party server was so friendly & helpful. Thanks FunQuest!

We love Funquest parties! I have used Funquest over the years because their customer service and packages are unbeatable. It has allowed me over the years as a parent to enjoy my daughters and not feel like I'm missing moments because of the busyness of the details. The staff is warm and caring which made my 7 year old?s birthday an unforgettable experience. Kudos to Stephanie and Kim for being superb in service.

Good experience except, we had the VIP room and there was no air return in there so it was really uncomfortably hot. This would not be such an issue in the winter months.

This was such a great place to have a great time. We were able to roller skate or roller blade, Laser Tag, arcade. The arcade games are really overpriced, but at least we had a decent time. The food was good for a play place as well.

Great family fun! Some kids are too old to play in the bounce house. Not enough employee supervision.

Waaaaayyyy too expensive. $1-$2 per game (average) in the arcade, $30 (at least that include pizza and soda) per kid, pay an extra $5 for skate pushers, and a bit too much chaos on the rink. Though I do commend your employees for working their tails off! There probably wasn't enough employees for a packed Friday night. It's not the employees' fault that I don't plan to return.

Awesome place. Good for family entertainment. Skates, arcade, laser tag and more. Food and drinks are also available.

chloe and haylie had so much energy at the shop! they were such a joy to be around and we will definitely come back because of them!

we always have fun and we always have a great experience when we come there and everyone is very respectful and helpful and we will see y?all guys soon..

Very enjoyable place for the whole family. They have a kids playland area like what used to be in most fast food places, roller skating, laser tag, and a mini arcade. This would be a great place for a birthday party for kiddos as they have separate areas set aside for parties and a concession stand. My personal favorite of the area was the laser tag.

We had the best experience ever thanks again for every associate that helped us while we were there greatly appreciated

We had my 40th Birthday Party at Funquest after just getting back into skating after a 25 year hiatus. They're staff is always friendly and they go above and beyond! Highly recommend booking your next party here, or just come out and skate during public hours!

Well kept and clean. Not very busy. Music is outdated but typical of most skating rinks. We did like how the skating floor is level with the rest of the floors.

We had a blast! You cannot beat only having to bring a cake! They took care of everything and even orchestrated the party! Will definitely be coming back.

We had the best time here last Thursday. For the price you can't beat it. Something for all my kiddos ages. Staff is super nice. They really went all out for the Halloween bash. Look forward to coming back

We had our daughters 8th birthday there and it was a blast! And it was nice for me because I didn't have to do a thing! The workers served the kiddos and everything! The kids had a blast! Definitely would book again! The staff was outstanding!

It got very busy the second half of our party and was of course a very stimulating and loud environment, but my kids had a great joint bday party (3 & 6)! Staff were great at handling the details and made sure we had our pitchers of drinks kept filled until we left for the day. I would have a party here again!

Had a great time at Funquest! Chloe was super helpful with arcade prizes and helped me pick out the best prize.

Decided to try Funquest with my young nieces. Jayden at the front desk was extremely helpful and kind when answering our questions and overall made an amazing impression! The play area was well maintained and clean. The kids had a ton of fun and we can't wait to come back!

Great place for the entire family! Lazertag is a blast! They do well with keeping everything organized and clean.

Jaden did amazing at customer service. We all had the best time ever. Very clean and great place.

We had my grandson's birthday party there. He really enjoyed himself, as did the guests!

Kids had a fun time! The people running it today were very respectful. You could tell their main priority was the kids having a fun time.

We have not been there to play but my sister are having a birthday party there and we are excited to go there

We had a BLAST at my sons 5th birthday party here, We we're able to invite up to 10 friends, parents were free, and I purchased the smallest package. For what you get the price is very inexpensive! Everyone was able to rent skates, have unlimited skate, unlimited play in the play house, unlimited laser tag, and had 12 credits on a game card. The package included 2 pizzas, 3 pitchers of soda/Powerade, and all the paper products. All I had to bring was the cake. (I actually did too much by bringing a knife, l

Super fun place! Lots to do kids enjoyed it

Celebrated our daughter's 10th birthday at FunQuest and it was a night to remember! Our party hostess was fantastic! She was engaging and fun and the kids loved her. She took care of set up, played games with the kids, lavished the birthday girl with special treats, and even bagged up the gifts for easy transport. Party guests enjoyed skating, laser tag, arcade and play place. There was something for everyone! Thanks FunQuest for a great party experience!

The party was AMAZING! Our hostess went above and beyond to accommodate us, and everyone had a blast. Highly recommend!

Excellent experience at FunQuest. We had our boys (ages 6 & 10) joint birthday party at FunQuest. We were very happy with the entire experience. The personal party host sat with my youngest to help him open gifts/read cards so that I could enjoy watching them both. We received a phone call the day before confirming our event and asking if we had questions. The kids had a great time.

The party aspect was good - we had a gal assigned to us to walk with us through it all - it was everything they said it would be on the website. A few thoughts for those who want more info: If you're looking for a calm, quiet birthday party, then FunQuest is not for you. We had our party on a Saturday and it was packed and loud. Loud music, too many bodies, smelly... All the things that come with large crowds indoors. But if that's your jam because you're not old and crusty like me, then you will love ev

Great place, fun for all ages. Friendly staff, great food. Great STEM program as well.

We just celebrated my sons 's 9th birthday party at FunQuest. It was an absolute blast. Our party host was so much fun and went above and beyond to make sure he had a great party. For the price it was the best value out of the other options for parties in the Lynchburg area, too. We will definitely be back!

i loved the staff they where amazing and really funny, the people there are really nice, the food is wonderful and they even have dip n dots, lots of cool prizes, and entertainment, best roller skating place i?ve been to in awhile ??

I just love coming to Funquest so much! The staff is so lovely and helpful, especially Chloe. The games keep my kids entertained for hours, and the food is great! I definitely would recommend this to anyone that has kids!

We celebrated our daughter?s 3rd birthday here. Had a great time with family and the entire staff provided amazing customer service! Desiree hosted our party and she was wonderful. Thank you for an amazing time!

Fun Quest did an amazing job helping us celebrate my sons Bday. We did a private party and had the most amazing experience. The staff was very helpful and attentive. All of my sons friends said it was the best party they have ever been to. I highly recommend allowing Fun Quest to host your next special event!

I'm here now. This is a terrible place and they do not care about the customer. My sons gave his shoes to get skates and when returning the skates tried to give him someone else?s shoes. They tried to say it was my fault. They were brand new adidas shoes. Ty hey tried to give us old adidas we've never seen before. Then they reviewed footage and wouldn't let me see it and said he came in with these old white adidas shoes. They won't compensate us. I have to file a police report now. I have proof of the purch

Took our daughter to Fun Quest Family Entertainment Center and we were not disappointed! She had an absolute blast, especially with the kid-friendly skee-setup ? just look at the joy in the picture I've attached! The staff was friendly and the place was packed with activities. A small suggestion would be to turn the music volume down just a tad, but other than that, it was a perfect outing. Highly recommend for a day of family fun!

We celebrate our son's birthday at Funquest. That was an amazing experience. We book the Vip plan,that give us a lot of options for the kids. The kids enjoyed it so much.The people that work there are amazing. We have Delaney to be our host for the party. She was wonderful, make it so easy for us parents. We will go back there for sure!

Great way to entertain 4 boys on a summer afternoon. Everyone was super helpful, especially Desy at the food counter. It's hard to make any decisions when the kids are all yelling for different things and they made that process much smoother.

My son thoroughly enjoyed his birthday this past weekend at Funquest! I cannot say enough wonderful things about the amazing staff! They all went above and beyond to make sure his day was perfect! And of course this took so much stress off mom so I could just enjoy his day with him and family and friends. Thank you all so much!

We had such a great experience having a party at FunQuest. Everything is taken care of- you just have to show up. Thanks for a great birthday party!

We all had a great time for our son?s 10th birthday! The staff was friendly, helpful and attentive. Everything was organized from games to laser tag to skating to food and presents! We would definitely recommend Funquest for birthday parties! Price was great!

Party hostess was amazing! She entertained kids, kept track of gifts, served everything and cleaned up after. I really didn't have to do anything except make sure the kids had fun (easy task). They even kept our drink pitchers full and kept a party table for us since it was the last party at that table and it was crowded everywhere else. Everyone always has a blast. We have had parties there every year since the kids were big enough. Play area is great for littles. Laser tag is fun for all and of course sk

We had a great hostess, Delaney and funquest went above and beyond for our daughter?s 8th birthday. I love not having to deal with coordinating everyone, the setup and cleanup, truly amazing and Stephanie the manager is phenomenal!

Great party place. We had Desi today as party host. She was great!!!! Very professional, patient, courteous and fully committed to party group for entire time. She made sure all guests were taken care of....all ages, with a ?? Good food, nice, clean environment. Music overall a little loud at facilty.

My husband and I had our daughter's birthday and the staff was so friendly! Our hostess was super helpful and served us with a smile on her face. The kids skated until their feet hurt and played 3 rounds of laser tag. Would definitely recommend looking into their party options for your next celebration!

We had the best time at my sons 10th birthday. Our party host was absolutely amazing. She made sure that we had everything we needed. We had the unlimited VIP and it was worth every Penny. I'm very pleased with our experience.

Lovely family fun and cheap party packages. Thanks to the staff for making the experience nostalgic. The Party Person is the best and most unique spirit I've seen in the Mid-Atlantic

We were greeted and checked in quickly and pleasantly. Great value for the money. I took off one star because the seating area was not accommodating to one of size or handicap.

Very kind staff and great pricing specials. Fun atmosphere and easy transition between skating, laser tag, and jungle gym.

Usually have a decent time here, but for whatever reason they decided on a 99 degree day to not have the AC running very high (the units against the back wall are just not on), has to be mid 80s in here currently. People sweating everywhere, if I wanted my kids to have heat stroke I'd have just made them play outside and saved $50.

Manager said my kid was ?too big to play?, she was 10.

The kids had a lot of fun... can get a little pricey but we enjoyed ourselves. Will definitely keep coming back

It was so nice for all the kids and very well organized even tho it was packed in there. Our host was so great as well. 100000000% recommend

This is a very clean and awesome place for kids of all ages to have a great time. Everyone was extremely nice and helpful, making my daughter?s birthday perfect and a breeze. Our hostess was Audria and she was great! She went above and beyond decorating (brought some of my own decorations) and she took care of everything during our party time. My 3 year old and her friends and family had a great time skating, arcade games, playing on the play quest playground, and eating pizza! Thank you FunQuest!

We loved the place. The kids had a blast. My only problem was when my daughter was pulled from the play area for being 11 and the only reason they knew was because it was her bday party. While tons of other older kids continued to play. I'm not saying we didn't break the rule (play area only 10 and under), I'm saying if you're going to do one, do all. But seriously other than that, the place is an absolute blast. Will def go again!!!!

We went to FunQuest for a birthday celebration and brought a cake. We were told by the first manager that they could hold on to it (so it wouldn't melt in the car) but unless we booked the birthday party room ($300), we couldn't eat the cake inside. Instead, she offered the parking lot (no benches/seats/tables, etc). We explained that the situation was sensitive as we were hosting foster kids (siblings) who have been separated, and it was the first time in months that they had seen each other. The children

Just held my daughter?s 4th birthday party at FunQuest last Saturday, and they made sure to make her feel special on her special day! The Poppy appearance caused the exact excitement I knew she would ????

We have visited several times, but we returned recently and the service was unmatched! Each employee we interacted with went above and beyond -- they were so kind and attentive with our kids (several of whom are shy) and provided quick and clear service and answers to any questions or needs we had. Thank you! We will be back!

The staff was very friendly and helpful with my daughter's 8th birthday party!!! Party was a success and Birthday Girl and all her guests including adults had an awesome time!! Thank you will use Funquest again!!!

A good Family friends party just a fun place to take the kids. Staff if very friendly ever one of them clean environment the only thing I don't like it the bop it game right there being all loud when played beside that excellent place n staff. Thank u. Happy new yrs

Just had my son?s 6th birthday party this past weekend. We all had such a blast. Our party host was the sweetest. Will definitely consider for future events!

As a roller derby skater, i really appreciate the great floor, music, and the size. The set up is great, there's something for everyone, non skaters included. Staff is friendly, the facility is clean, and....they have fried cheese curds. Go. Skate. have a blast!

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.”
