What is a Family Entertainment Center?

Family entertainment center(FEC for short) always strives to maximize family fun and provide new and diverse activities for everyone to enjoy. 

What is an FEC?

Apart from being a fun and exciting way for you and your family to spend the day together, a family entertainment center is actually a small scale amusement park marketed towards families with small children or teenagers. FECs include an incredible wide range of entertainment options including climbing walls, arcade games, mini golf, free fall rides, ropes courses, laser tag, and more. And the wide range of games and activities provide entertainment for all ages and leave every member of the family with a fun and thrilling experience.

Family entertainment centers, sometimes called family fun centers, have been around for decades. The first family fun centers gained popularity in the early 1970’s as arcades and miniature golf facilities, and quickly spread across USA. As time went on, these facilities continued to expand and gain more activities, games, and new innovations. Today, nearly every FEC still includes arcades and mini golf courses however many new FEC activities have entered the scene. As the industry continues to grow, FEC games and equipment will continue to become more inclusive and diverse.
