Fun World

Another great place for game lovers. It’s good for both children and
has some great arcade games. I wish it was bigger and had a legacy collection of the classic 80s arcade games like Funspot:
I also agree with some of the other reviewers that they need to improve in hygiene and some parts of the place seem old and need renovation. However, overall it is still a great place.

There games are not as updated. They did get a couple new games though. Nothing serious. The ice cream to me taste like nothing … The only thing I like is the fried dough … The coins is cheap it’s like 4 tokens for $ 1.00 so that’s not bad if you wanna spend less. But it looks the same
When I was young having my birthday parties. I’m a 90s kid so can you imagine how much renovation this place needs

We took our children to Funworld to celebrate our youngest’s birthday. We didn’t reserve a birthday room this time, we just explored and had a great time. My younger girls loved the large ball pit/​play area! The games are a lot of fun and quite generous with tickets. Everyone especially loved the photo booth! I would definitely recommend Funworld for a great family day out or a child’s birthday party!

Such a great place to bring kids and adults alike ! We travel all the way from northern Maine just to visit fun world! There’s no other arcade and family fun center around like it ! Very friendly staff, great food and snacks. Love visiting the old arcade classics and the brand new games ! Worth the 3 hour trip for us !!

Your typical penny arcade. It’s entertaining to come here if you are a child or if you like racing games, but otherwise everything is kind of out of date. All the dancing games are old, the rides are only for children/​small sized individuals, and there are very few high tech games (like Fruit Ninja, etc.) The prizes look like they’re from the 90’s but the candy is never stale. The food is your typical pizza and hot dogs kind of deal — it’s edible but still very much fast food.
First choice? No. However, it is cheaper than Dave & Buster’s in Woburn so I’d still recommend coming here for if you want arcade games at a cheaper price.

This building is so old and rickety– I’m afraid it will crumble with us in it! I literally have had many dreams haunted by it. It could be a fun place if the structure seemed safe. Oh– and the extra fee kid area was nasty. It was fairly tidy where the grownups sit. But I had to go in to help my daughter who wasn’t quite old enough to go it alone… And I couldn’t believe the dust and cobwebs in the middle and back of the structure. Gross.

We went here for a birthday party. For $ 20, you do get a lot of tokens. But, the games are all a little dated. As much as I love vintage old school games… Many of the games were broken, glitchy or the controls were covered in grease and haven’t felt like they’ve been cleaned in weeks. Many «attractions» weren’t running. We really enjoyed some of the car racing games; especially since you could play against one another. It’s not a horrible place– just definitely needs to be updated.

Entertainment for the children lots of fun for all ages including adults place really needs a makeover is old and run down

Games are expensive — 1.00 each — and a lot are not in the best condition. Bathrooms are in horrible state. Food is very low quality — eat before you come. On the positive side u can use a credit card for tokens so you can get cash back. 20 dollars in tokens is the best deal for free tokens.

Oh FunWorld, where did you go? When we are kids, any playground seems like a land of pure joy. Once grown up, we get to watch our kids enjoy that same land of pure enjoyment. Unfortunately, it didn’t quite seem to be that way for me. I was saddened by some conditions and worried about safety in some locations throughout the building.
I do absolutely have to mention, the employees were absolutely wonderful that we dealt with. However, there should have been more employees working. We had to wait to be served a drink, and the same person who served our drink was later found supervising the playground. It seemed as if employees were just running from place to place fixing machines and running rides, then off to fix another game or off to help a customer. KUDOS to those hard working employees.
When we walked in, we were automatically hit with this very strong odor of mold and mildew. It is clear they have had some serious water damage issues through out all the floors in the building. But, on the bright side, the AC did appear to be on, so it could have been worse I suppose.
We first played some games with tokens and then made our way to the front counter to buy a playground pass. Wow, I remember when I was a kid I LOVED the playground. It hasn’t changed a BIT. I am not sure if that’s a good thing or not. The very big /​long slides in the corner look they are still rocking dust from the year 2000. The ball pit was hardly filled with balls. The bouncy area had exercising balls underneath because the bounce had «lost» its bounce without them. There were a few areas of concern that look like they need further repair. Some locations in the playground have been «fixed» or «patched up. But it looks like their way of fixing it an moving on. They DID have a very cool activity mat on the third level that my daughter and I were able to run around on. But wait, what’s that? The Ferris Wheel everyone loved as a kid? It is hidden behind a «toddler playroom» with quilts over the windows and empty pizza boxes to block out the view of the once very awesome ride CLEARLY has been retired for some time. SUCH a shame! What HAPPENED? Those pizza boxes have to go. It looks dirty when you try to hide a Ferris wheel with pizza boxes and quilts. The quilts ARE beautiful but maybe at least paint the windows with cartoons or upcoming events? Something that looks more professional would be better. I think the playground in general is fun for the kids and the price 6.00 is well worth it. However, even though it would be costly to do the whole thing over, It would be worth spending the money to have it revamped for a more 2015 look. I bet people would even pay more knowing their kids are playing in something up to date and safer.
Then we went downstairs. That was when I noticed they were having a party in the back. It appeared a staff member that was handling food did not have gloves on while preparing food for them. I also noticed a chemical bottle on the counter with HAND WRITING on it «PINK» Aka, Sanitizer. Huge no no to have chemical bottles sitting on surfaces where food is being served. Not too far away, I saw the employee’s drink cup, also on the counter. That worried me to know someone was drinking where food is being served.
We went on to check out the prizes, and checked out the bowling. We wanted to play, but others were waiting. So we decided to look around a little bit. This room has games designed for older kids and adults. Our daughter was too young to play any of these, so just a simple walk through was all we did. The floor seemed squishy in some spots. I remember the walls being painted with fun cartoon murals. Now they have been painted over with a plain sky blue paint. I am assuming they must have had significant water damage in this room.
I can’t imagine the cost it must be to fix water damage of a building so big, but my goodness there must be some sort of insurance for these kinds of things. My suggestion would be to just close for a couple of months and completely revamp the building (Inside and out). Not just replace a few water pipes, and paint over things. (I am not sure what has actually been replaced /​in/​the building), but just the smell of mildew is so overpowering. There must be something more that can be done? Many ceiling tiles were badly damaged from water. Some ceiling tiles were covered with tape and or stained back to white. But, it is very noticeable of the quick fixes. (I DID see two large dumpsters outside so it appears they ARE getting rid of some things) I would not mind paying more if I walked into an all new place! I am sure many people would feel the same way! I would really like to come back. I hope if the owner does read this, would welcome me back. My review is as honest as I could possibly be without trying to be harsh. These are my true concerns though. Best wishes to Fun World. I really hope that there are good things to come from Fun World.

If this place has working ac I’d rate it much higher. We went on a sweltering hot day & it was brutally hot inside the building. It really detracted from all the fun rides & games. The huge jungle gym is awesome & at $ 6 it’s a great value. The slides are massive & perfect for kids to have endless fun in & on.
The real gem is the two story carousel. It’s beautiful & a throw back to a bygone era.

I remember coming to Fun World when I was 7, playing games like Cruisin USA and Mortal Kombat. Ahhh those were the days.
Flash forward 20 years later. I happen to go back to Funworld. And what games are there? Cruisin USA. Mortal Kombat.
The moral of the story: UPDATE SOME MACHINES. This place is the Nick at Nite of arcades. Nobody plays pinball anymore. And as a final note, I hate that stupid Star Trek game that shocks you. I wanna smack myself for everytime I played that game.

Great location lacks in hygiene and the food is gross also customer service is not good! I probably won’t be going back but if I do it would just be for the arcade games for my kids.

Games are Excellent, the old one’s brings back memories like 1945 airplane game.
But its not the games that is on my mind right now, its the kitchen thats in the open that concerns me. (Quentin Tarantino voice)
1. Girl on the register touching pennies, nickels and dimes and money then goes back and puts pepperoni and cheese on the pizza.
2. Now the one that is in the cash register goes back and on a continuous loop and adds toppings on the pizza (Wearing no hair net or gloves) none of them wear hair nets nor gloves.
3. That is pretty disgusting, someone should call the «Health board» or Fox25 news. I felt like recording it on my phone and uploading it online but I didn’t.
There are tons of bacteria in the air, in our hands, tables, counters and probably more bacteria on currency.
Note: 2 – 3 years ago, i witnessed the same thing. SO this has been going on for probably since they open. Someone needs to address this issue!!!
I had told the girl without the hair net, in a polite manner without anyone hearing me. That they do not wear gloves, and that i witnessed those atrocities. She was embarrassed and got me my tortillas and melted cheese fast :)
Other than that, its a good place to brings kids to ride on roller coasters, carrousel and arcade games. I had a great time, but they need to do something about wearing hair nets, and gloves!
WHo know’s what else goes down, in all restaurants around the world. Lets eat healthy and cook at home ladies and gentlemen.

The rides are awesome, the people are wonderful, games are fun and the machines work! It is a great destination from anywhere in New England. For it to be worthwhile spend a day there!
And then… my wife had her wallet stolen. You must hold on to your stuff and watch it very closely. I love this place, but want to feel safe and I don’t here, especially with my kids around.
In all, if you go… leave your stuff at home or the hotel. Do not bring a bag that you will leave somewhere… it will be gone in an instant.

Its great atmosphere for kids but lacks hygene.
We usually go to funworld just for the arcade. This time around we went for the arcade and food. The place was packed and both kids had a blast. There are arcades are pretty inexpensive as are the non prize games. Its a fun atmosphere and we always get fun prizes.
Today, I went to try the food. Got in line and as I’m watching people throw chicken into the frilator and put pizzas together… I noticed, NO ONE IS WEARING GLOVES.
So Nasty that I get out of line then finally break and grab a drink from the vending machines.
Just get food before you go because you MIGHT be eating someones 200 person touched dollar. Litterly the cash reg girl left to go grab food with her bare hands.

Been coming to Fun World for over 22 years, On the first level there are redemption games where you can win skee ball tickets such as skee ball, big truck, bat man, tower power, fishing game, football, basket ball, wheel of fortune, deal or no deal, freeze, and many other great ticket games.
Next, there is a prize counter to cash in tickets for great prizes, a snack bar, and 5 – 7 token machines, and if you put a twenty dollar bill in the machine, you get $ 27.00’s worth of game room tokens, not a bad deal.
Second floor is the arcade game room, excellent games such as Alien’s, Terminator, Maximum Tune 2 and 3, Fast & Furious, Transformers, Time Crises 4, Ghost squad, and old school Cenepeed and MS. Pac Man. There is also a Merry go round, indoor rollercoaster and Himalaya as well on this floor.
Third floor, there are 2 air hockey tables, pinball games such as Iron Man, AC DC, X-​men, Transformers, Wizard of OZ. There is a six player Galaxian game, three dance games, and sports games as well.
Last, Fun world should think about re-​opening the Go-​kart track. I miss the days back in the late 90’s rising on the Go-​karts on the maze track, it was so much fun. Now the track looks like its worn out and the Go Karts all look like they are out of order.

Place always reeks of mold. Great many of the games a broken. Lots of the amusements usually aren’t running — or at least haven’t been every time I’ve been there.
If you have an X-​Box at home — your better off with it.

I was a huge FunWorld fan. I was. But lately it is a filthy, moldy, mess.
I’m not going to focus on the broken games and subpar customer service. Although those issues are quite prevalent. I’m simply going to describe what I am seeing and smelling at the indoor playground.
The playground is immense. And it looks like fun. My kids loved it. But the humidity is insane in here. As such, there is a mold problem in the padding and on the fabric surfaces. It smells like the Men’s locker room at the YMCA combined with the wet boots of a large construction worker.
The ceiling panels are falling down. There is duct tape holding some of it up, but that just lends to the unclean, under maintained atmosphere.
The staff doesn’t seem to care about who has paid to use the playground and whether or not they are wearing socks (a posted requirement) and, in some cases, whether or not they are wearing shirts or pants.
Because there is next to no monitoring of the playground area, anyone can sneak in and throw a toddler — wearing nothing but a soiled diaper and a smile — into the ball pit and slink away.
Which brings me to my final concern. This playground is not a nanny. It’s not a babysitter. Children are not to be left unattended (a posted requirement). With that being said, there are at least 25 kids using the playground and there is one adult in the supervision area; me.
Again, kids love this place. But then again, kids eat their boogers.
EDIT: there are now 5 adults and 40 kids. At least some adults have a sense of responsibility.

This place is great. It is a little old but pretty well kept. There are games for kids of all ages. Much better than Chuck E. Cheese’s.. They Actually make pizza here the rest of The food is made fresh as well… Meaning you don’t get hotdogs that are eight hours old.
The carousel is pretty nice… It has two levels…
