Funland Arcade

I did not enjoy anything here. It’s expensive you waste most of your time trying to win prizes and most of your money just on one machine. And their prizes are really bad cause you get 1 or 2 tickets to game. There are also no classic games so it sucks. COME TO THE ARC ARCADE LOCATED ON 11TH AND COMMERCIAL ST WHOOOO.

If you’re going to own a Funland arcade in a tourist trap town like Seaside Oregon then you probably want to keep your amusements in working order!
At least half of the games here are out of order. The place is huge and it doesn’t feel like they utilize that space very well. I can imagine some cool themes and decorations that they could add to the place but then, It’s not mine. Just to have the games working so that we could have played them would have made this review a lot better but alas, our visit was quite disappointing.
They do have a pretty good selection of games to choose from but like I wrote, most of them are broken. They have a few midway type amusements too like skeeball and a horse racing game but the place just feels old and run down. The staff was nice and helpful when we couldn’t get the ticket counting machine to print out or receipt. They have a concession area where you can get pizza or a slough of deep fried foods that you shouldn’t ingest and beer. The bad thing is that you have to drink your beer inside of the corral. You aren’t allowed to enjoy your brew whilst kicking some butt on The Fast and the Furious game.
They have the latest and greatest Star Wars battle pod and that game is a blast! Too bad it costs as much as most new cars but that raises the question of… If they have money for such expensive games, why don’t they have money to keep all of their other games in working condition? This place is one of the only places to go and entertain yourself in the whole town. Some people are there on a daily basis so I know that they are raking in the dough hand over fist. I just wish they would use some of that money to spruce up their business instead of whatever they use it for. Priorities I guess.
If you visit Seaside, a stop into the Funland arcade is a must do but don’t get your expectations too high. Its good for a few hours of fun especially at night when everything else is closed but in the morning, go check out the rest of the town.
Thanks for reading.

This was a really fun place to visit on our trip. The system is a little weird, you have to put money onto a card to play games with. I guess that it can cut down on repairs for the machines. they have beer and pizza too. it was really fun! On our trip back to seaside this year we will be back!

When I came here, this place was PACKED. It was slightly raining outside and was during Spring Break so I should have guessed it would be. The kids I was with had a blast. I thought a lot of the games were in poor condition and were quite old myself. They also had a pizza parlor partially attached and a bumper car area but it was smaller than the one across the street.
If you have kids it is still worth checking it out and letting the kids kill some time while you walk the drag looking at souvenir shops.

Cool place. Feels very nostalgic, probably due to the exterior of the building. Warehouse garage style doors look like the open up from the walls during warm summer months which seems great for the coast.
Lots and lots of variety of arcade games… except…for classics. There was the occasional galaga or Ms. Pac-​man dotted inside, but not much more of that age range. But hey, let’s face it, those games probably don’t bring the same money to the owners as the ticket games.
Food area looked nice with pizza options. Drinks have to stay in that area. Ticket machines payout is set pretty damn high, it seems like you can win a lot of tickets with nominal skills, which is good for kids.
There were lots and lots of games on the floor that were dead or dying though. It did not seem like this place employs a game tech like Ground Kontrol in portland. Or if they do, the person must have had the last three months off. All in all, I believe I counted 20 machines in there that were turned off or butchered beyond playability.
I will return for sure.

Walked in and right back out. Nobody say hi. And honestly what made us walk out was it smells like… puke!!! And pee!!! Gross!

Try: Fascination ($ 0.25 per game /​avg)
Seaside’s Funland follows suit with many of today’s arcades: load up a game card with credit to play video games and ticket-​producing games and cash in those hard earned tickets for a medium sized tootsie pop and a rubber bracelet. Open fairly late, its a good source of entertainment for adults and kids alike when most other shops close down on the main drag.
Video game selection was fair though not terribly diverse: (I think there was 3 versions of Time Crisis and 3 versions of Tekken) and ranged from $ 0.25 to $ 4.00 or so. There’s candy claw drops, skee ball, bumper «boats», and a pizza joint with some standard suds (which I did not visit).
The real hero of Funland is the Fascination parlor. It’s a rare bird, only seen at a few boardwalk arcades across the nation — but full of fun and nostalgia. The strange lovechild of Skee Ball and BINGO, this game ranges from $ 0.25 to a $ 1.00 (cash only) for a variety of game types (5 across, blackout, etc.). Its uniqueness, cost, and gameplay make Funland as a whole, a must visit while in Seaside.
Pros: Large building, helpful staff, and FASCINATION!
Cons: Not diverse game selection, can be expensive.

Two adult women without children enjoyed this arcade so much we went to nights in a row. The mix of games was great. There were old school classics like skeeball, California Speedway and Mortal Kombat 2, as well as new games like Time Crisis 5. Would have liked to try the bumper cars, but no one ever seemed available to run them.

This place has a lot of great games and the staff seems nice. My niece and nephew had a lot of fun and so did we. We still haven’t tried the pizza so I can’t speak to that. The variety of the games is excellent. So, no complaints from me.

My wife and I took our 4 year old on a recent trip. This was not our first time, but it will be the last until the arcade restaffed with courteous people. My daughter won a small stuffed animal at the race game and we put the toy into the stroller and didn’t touch it until we went back to the redemption counter to exchange our tickets for a prize. My daughter noticed the stuffed toy was coming apart at the seams as the stitching was broken. I showed the toy to the lady at the counter and she said we could trade it no problem. She walked over to a young man who was in the middle of what seemed like getting a number from a female patron. He looked up and instantly told the lady that it was too bad and he wasn’t going to repace it. She tried to talk to him but he seemed to annoyed to even look up. When she returned and told me what happened, I asked her if I could speak to the manager and she fearfully told us that it was who she just spoke to and to please not mention her name because he was already trying to get her fired. At this point, the high school drama that was ensuing was truly ridiculous for a so called family place.
We alsed the kid behind the counter if we could please exchange it and he brushed past me with a simple, «it’s my policy and you should have showed it to me when you first got it». I told him that we showed it as soon as we noticed it, but the idea that he was even being so rude over a cheap toy was disturbing. We went back and forth until I asked for the name of his manager. At that point he said, it’s my place and then threatened to call the police! This was laughable that his only go to was to threaten to call the police when someone asked for his supervisor.
I have since emailed the website to give feedback and called and spoke to someone who advised me that he would have the owner call me. Unfortunately, I have had no response. My guess is that based in his behavior, the fear from staff, and the lack of response by any professional representative of Funland, the kid behind the counter is an untouchable relative.
The toy was not a big deal but the fact that several staff expressed to my wife that this supposed manger is rude or vindictive, is an indicator of the disfunction of this staff.
The only good thing is that my daughter had a good time and out of her 4 year old mouth came the words, «don’t worry mommy, he is probably having a bad life.»

My kids love it. So go if you have kids but beware of high prices (50 cents for ONE game of skeeball?!?). The selection of games could be better (or at least cheaper) and the prizes are pretty limited. Seems like it was better when I was a kid or perhaps I was just easier to impress. One claw game gave us a toy 4 out of 5 times and fruit ninja is fun. Also found miss paceman for 25 cents. That made me happy! Need to play fascination still. Always loved that and when I peaked in it looked the same (which is a good thing!!)

WAY overpriced for 20.00 you play for like 5 – 10 minutes some games cost $ 2.00 ant they are all RIGGED the claws let go of a .25 $ prize EVERY TIME and you get almost no tickets I do not recommend Funland or Fultanos pizza!

Lots of games!
Some games are out of order but in the most part was all in working condition. You can play pretty much for 2 – 3 hours here.
Best games were the star wars game and of course the oldies like Time Crisis, Super Street Fighter II Hyper, Mortal Kombat II, and the basketball shooting game.
Great place to kill time when it is cold outside or drizzling.

Walking around downtown, we saw this arcade and thought it would be fun to play some games. So glad we did. This place was huge and a great selection of new and old games. It had my favorites; skee ball and air hockey. A fun place to go even if you don’t have kids!
They have a food court as well which we didn’t partake in but it looked and smelled good. Instead of using coins for the games you could put money on one of their cards using your credit/​debit card. Each time you swiped your card on the game it would flash and tell you how much you had left. I thought that was very handy! Would definitely come here again when in Seaside.

Games and arcade are great. Employee and acting manager’s attitudes sucked today. If I didn’t have a kid, I’d never come back based on this last interaction in a line of insulting experience by staff. A select few have been nice to us but overall when I inquire about anything I have received major attitude. The «manager» this evening ignored me completely while addressing him, didn’t even respond.

My kiddo hit the 1,000 point jackpot on the big wheel! We ducked into the arcade on Monday after the rain interrupted our frisbee game on the beach. My husband wanted a nap, so my daughter and I decided to see how fun Funland really was. The attached pizza place was packed and the food looked and smelled delicious. I spent $ 50 on a couple of game cards. I’m not sure if our experience was typical, but it took us over 2 hours to use up all of our game credits. We had to feed the tickets we won into the ticket counters several times, and together we wound up with over 2,000 points. We spent most of those on candy at the concession counter. We got a few toys and a small souvenir piggy bank that says «Oregon Rainy Day Money» to remember our rainy day fun in Seaside. Next time we go, I hope to play the Fascination games. They looked so fun.

Ok, this place is way fun. And I don’t have kids. I ain’t got no shame! They have a ton of games — from the classic Skee Ball to more recent Fruit Ninja. There are easy games for the kiddos, and games that higher skill levels can enjoy too. The games aren’t super spendy either, you can have fun for $ 10, but if you want to spend a good amount of time there, prepare to drop more cash.
And yes, they do have some decent prizes to play for. My group walked away with a Seaside coffee mug to remember the trip by, an Oregon State and 49ers shot glass, a frisbee to toss around on the beach, and some candy.
TIP: A couple machines promise a huge amount of tickets as a bonus if you make a certain goal, but they don’t pay out automatically (the «knock down all the hissing cats» game comes to mind). You have to go tell an attendant, and they’ll pony up the the tickets. Also, the pizza place next door has some great pizza. Expensive, yes, but good.

This is a great well kept arcade with amazing prices. Their ticket system is a bit outdated and they had a few out of order stuff, but overall a great arcade with your typical games and candy prizes.
I couldn’t believe how affordable the games were! All the games were 50cents-​$ 1! And the bumper cars (although really tiny) was only $ 2 during their special (I think it’s usually ($ 2.50). The arcades where I live are way more spendy than this! So it was shocking to see how affordable this was to have a good time.

Sure, the price adds up, but they had a fair amount of games even little kids could enjoy and some that offered large amounts of tickets. Loved that kids could actually get treats with just a few tickets too!

If you’re a kid — or used to go to Seaside as a kid — Funland arcade in Seaside is a MUST! Just walking in the door makes me happy!
I can’t wait until my son is old enough to play here for the first time.
