While Fun City does offer a lot for kids
ages 5 to 12, they also make sure there are
activities for the younger kids.
"We have an area called Tot Town that's
good for kids 2– to 4-years old. We have
something for everybody of all ages."
Allison said… "It's a very rewarding
job and I to get to see families come
in together and play together. It's
great."
The interaction between
younger and older
generations of
gamers at
Fun City
sometimes
makes Allison smile a little.
"A lot of people still enjoy the old school
games," she said. "I think arcade games
have gotten really high tech. When kids
see the older games and people playing
them, the looks on their faces can get a
little funny."
Kids, she said, are not afraid to call their
adults out and make fun of them.
"It's funny to watch," she said. "If they
are with their parents they say… 'You used
to play this?' With all of these games this is
what you use to play?
The older games at Fun City include
Pac Man and Galaga. There are a couple
classics games that haven't changed much
like the cranes and little claws that grab
prizes.
Fun City is a token based operation with
no admission. Players compete and earn
credits and tickets. The tickets can be
redeemed for hundreds of different prizes
available.
"Our standard tokens are four for a
$1," she said. "But, special packages are
available. Once you get up to $10, it' 50
tokens, so you get 10 tokens for free."
Competing for prizes and bragging rights
can make a kid hungry. Fun City has
concessions covered with Fun City Pizza,
hot wings and even a salad bar for the kids
watching what they eat. Of course, there
are plenty of candy, flavored slushes and
other "healthy" options for everyone…
young and adult alike.
