We’ve all had moments no matter what our social status where we enjoy letting loose and playing games. What better way to forget your worries of everyday life, then to dive into the world of gaming. Arcades are just the place to do so, offering a variety of fun for anyone to enjoy. They have games both the young and old can indulge in.
Fun Spot:
This is the largest video arcade in all of central Florida featuring an amazing two story arcade filled with many different games. The second story is all-inclusive and you can play as much as you want for a flat entree fee into the building. The games are a lot of fun, however they can get old pretty quick and some of them are really outdated. They have a lot of console games, as well as classics such as Galaga and Pack-man. The first floor I find much more entertaining, however it is coin operated so there is a fee for each game. There is a much better variety and they will give you tickets you can spend at a prize shop. They also have slot machines where you can try your luck at winning more tokens to play with.
Some other really fun attractions they have are go-karts, bumper boats, sky coaster, and snack bar.
Prices:
Go-Kart Armband – $34.95 (includes: Unlimited Go-Karts, rides, and over 60 arcade games)

Magical Midway:
This park is similar to Fun Spot, except it is a bit smaller. What sets this apart is the Star Flyer thrill ride; a new addition thrill ride that takes you up in a chair over 230ft into the air at 54mph. It is the only tower ride of its kind in the entire United States.
The arcade at Magical Midway is good, but has less of a selection than Fun Spot offers. All games at this facility are coin operated.
Overall it is a fun attraction to check into, the snack bar is good and the atmosphere is really uplifting filled with lights and music.

Midway Armband – $15.95 (includes: Unlimited Midway rides all day, 10 arcade tokens, 1 StarFlyer thrill ride)
