Funcity Adventure Park — Attraction in Fayetteville

We recently visited the Arcade and Jump Place, and while we had a good time overall, I think it’s important to talk honestly about the value for the money.

🎮 The Arcade

The arcade has a solid variety of games ranging from racing and shooting games to claw machines and larger interactive setups. The kids loved the flashing lights and different options, and there was something for all ages. The downside, though, is the credit system and the cost to play.

You don’t use cash directly — instead, you load money onto a card for credits. The packages are structured so that the more money you load, the cheaper each credit becomes. For example: • $10 = 40 credits (25¢ each) • $20 = 100 credits (20¢ each) • $50 = 280 credits (17.8¢ each) • $100 = 600 credits (16.7¢ each)

Most games cost 6–8 credits, which works out to $1.33–$2.00 per play depending on which package you buy. Bigger machines cost as much as 24 credits, which can be anywhere from $4.00 to $6.00 per play. If you only buy $10 or $20 worth, you end up paying almost 50% more per swipe compared to the $100 package.

For families with kids who want to jump from one game to the next, the money goes very quickly. While fun, I didn’t feel the pricing matched the playtime — especially compared to other arcades we’ve visited.

🤸 The Jump Place

The Jump Place was definitely the highlight for the kids. They had a blast burning energy on the trampolines, climbing, and bouncing around. The area felt safe, well-staffed, and clean, which gave us peace of mind as parents. The play structures were engaging enough to keep the kids busy for quite a while, and it’s a good option if you’re looking to let them run off some energy indoors.

Pricing here felt more straightforward — you pay for jump time, and the kids can go wild without worrying about credits running out every few minutes. Compared to the arcade, this part of the experience felt like much better value.

⚖️ Final Thoughts

Overall, the Jump Place was well worth it for the kids, but the Arcade left me feeling shortchanged. The games are fun, but the credit system is set up in a way that makes casual play feel overpriced. If you’re willing to spend $50–$100 upfront, the cost per play gets more reasonable, but for families looking to just spend $10–$20, the money disappears fast.

I’d recommend the Jump Place without hesitation, but I’d go into the arcade knowing that the value for money just...

I’m really disappointed with my experience at Fun City. $70 for just two kids for only two hours is outrageous. On top of that, the staff at the front desk was unprofessional. When I asked about a military discount, the employee said there was one but admitted he didn’t know the code, didn’t know who could help, and the manager wasn’t even available. For a place that charges such high prices, I expected much better service and organization. Definitely not worth the money.

Update: funcity then reached out and bold faced lied about the chain of events that transpired. No apology. Yes I did get my discount after twisting the kids arm for almost 15 minutes(not three minutes), who by the way lied and said there was no manager there. Now we can add lying to save face after treating customers like crap to your resume. Right under "overpriced" and "not as good...

I love the layout of the activities and the open space. However, the most annoying thing is they have a row of massage chairs on the far right side of the building. They have no signage up that says do not sit here if you’re not willing to pay. As a result, there’s lots of people sitting in the chairs and they have an alarm that goes off when people sit in the chairs that don’t pay. It’s a loud screeching noise that’s highly annoying, especially for people with noise sensitivities. Staff do not ask the people to get up so as a result, the alarm goes off constantly inside the building. It overshadows anything good about the place. Either remove the chairs or turn the alarms or have a staff...
