Fun Spot, Laconia, NH (3 Smiles)

We went to Fun Spot today in Weirs and here is my review......
Date:  7/10/2010

Parking:  Plenty.  There was a large parking lot on one side and on the other side they had still more overflow parking.

Gate/Admission:  It is free to get in.   You can purchase tokens to play games or ride the kiddie rides.  You have to pay separately for golf (inside and out) and bowling.

Birthday Parties:  Yes

Bathrooms:  They have several bathrooms located on both floors.  They are unisex and the ones we used did not have changing tables.

Cleanliness:  We arrived early afternoon and stayed for about three hours.  The place was pretty clean.  The rugs could use some updating, but compared to many other arcades I have been to that are dark and dingy this facility was in great condition in comparison.  

Store:  They serve many of the popular fast foods.  With the order of a whole pizza you received 10 tokens free.  They also served salads, onion rings, hot dogs, drinks, etc.  There was a nice area to eat inside as well as outside.  We brought our lunch and ate at one of there many picnic tables they had available.

Overall:  Today was our first time at Fun Spot.  We had an enjoyable experience.  We played mini golf outside where my son won the last hole and a free round of golf.  We paid for our tokens which lasted about an hour and a half.  We spent $20 and received 100 tokens.  Next time I would probably not buy so many as towards the end he was restless and ready to go.  We had a problem with a couple of games and when we spoke with the workers they came right over and fixed the problem also giving us a few more tokens for our inconvenience.  They were all very polite.  The one issue I had with the games was winning tickets was not easy and you were not guaranteed to get a ticket even on the little kid games.  For example; at Chuck E Cheese all you need to score is 10 points to win a ticket at skee ball, but at Fun Spot you had to score 100 points. My son did not seem to mind, but I know some children can be sensitive when they do not win.  Overall we had a great time going to the world's largest arcade!
