Are you looking for a fun indoor activity to do with the kids this winter? In this episode of Love Where You Live, we’re heading to Nashua, New Hampshire to visit Fun World. We’ll explore everything from classic arcade games like Centipede and Air Hockey to NBA Showtime to give you an idea of the fun you can have here.
Welcome To Fun World
Sometimes in New England—especially in the wintertime—there’s nothing to do outside. My daughters and I thought it was the perfect day to have an adventure, so we got dressed up to go to Fun World. This arcade is located just across the border from Massachusetts in Nashua, New Hampshire. It’s been there since I was a boy, and 28 years later and it’s still just as fun as I remember.
Inside, you can exchange your dollars for tokens to take advantage of all the arcade games. There’s the classic Air Hockey, which is always a great game for both kids and adults. For a truly retro experience, a game of pinball is always a good choice. You can find multiple levels of games, rides, a playground (though it was closed when we went), and more for the whole family.
Play And Prizes
One of the best parts of a day at the arcade is winning prizes. Some of the arcade games—like the classic claw game—allow you to win toys that the kids will love. You can also score tickets on many of the games, which both my daughters love to do.
After a day of fun, take your tickets to the Ticket Eater to count them all up. This machine is almost a game in itself for the little ones! You can take your receipt with a barcode to the prize counter and choose from tons of fun toys and trinkets. It’s a great way for the kids to remember the awesome time they had at Fun World.
Fun For The Whole Family
Emma and Alex loved their time here at Fun World with me, and we had a blast exploring all the activities. It’s an affordable experience that won’t break the bank but still provides a day of entertainment.
So if you’re on the border of Massachusetts, hope right over to Nashua, New Hampshire and visit Fun World. I’m an original Grand Stater from New Hampshire, and it was great visiting a place I went to as a kid. Be sure to check this place out, and stay tuned to the next episode of Love Where You Live to see where we head next!
