Arnold's Family Fun Center - Oaks, Pennsylvania

The American Treasure Tour is a living, breathing time capsule for anything you can think of in the last 120 years. I still can't believe how much stuff is in there and days later I'm still thinking about everything. The music room is just a warm up before going on a truly mind blowing tour of a former tire factory turned into a culture vault. Just go and take the tour, you'll be transported back in time for a little while.

Arnold’s is such a rip off!!!! They charge you so much money for a package but only allow the kids to ride things 1 time! If you’re spending that much money you should be able to have unlimited fun on each item or offer a time limit! I will never take my family back there until they come up with better pricing. It was pretty empty there for a Saturday, and it’s probably because no one has that kinda money! Prices are ridiculous!!!

Celebrated my sons 4th birthday at Arnold’s and we had a blast. The kids love the huge bounce house. There’s two of them. A smaller one for 3 and under and larger bounce house for over 4 years old. Go kart for ages 3 and up. Reasonable food menu options and prices. Great kid friendly place to spend the day. They also have alcoholic beverages in the back for adults. Great date night spot as well.

I turned 33 today, and we had a super fun and fast race around the Arnold Go Kart track. The track crew made sure I had a great time for my special day, and I drifted around those turns like Dale Earnhardt Jr.! 10/10! Would come again! Also this whole place is pretty cool. Way better than any other fun center I’ve been to. There are loud sections where the arcade is, but there are also some quieter nooks where you can sit and take a break from the stimulation. They have some old arcade games as well as plenty of modern ones. The aesthetic of the old brick building made me feel at home. Thanks Arnold’s!

Plenty of entertaining stuff. Would be a good place to have a kids bday party. Bowling, go karts, laser tag, arcade, bar. Staff is nice but not exactly helpful, sorry to say. I asked if it was cheaper to pay for bowling by the game or by the hour and was told hourly, which cost more, and our second game got cut off halfway through. Tried to call multiple times to book a lane in advance and they didn’t pick up the phone. Overall it’s a fun spot worth going to and thanks for having us.

This place is rundown & needs bought out by someone that has the money to improve it. Otherwise, it’s sad & broken.

We (6 adults 20-30s) were looking for something to extend our time together after Top Golf & this seemed like a good local option.

I have a very mixed feelings about this place. It has potential but is the type of place that needs to be refurbished & rebranded. I could tell by photos it was hit or miss & it is. It kinda gives Friday Nights at Freddy’s without the robots. If you have an open-minded & fun group it works, but it’s no Dave & Busters. Keep expectations low. All in all short, I’d only recommend laser tag if there’s no better local option.

The details:

Pros:
-honestly really impressed with the black light putt putt art, a lot of creativity went into that. Props to the artists! Sadly people can’t respect someone’s hard work and have broken some of it. Frankly think this art was too cool for this place. (Putt putt balls are foam btw)
-laser tag was cool, with cons before though
-everybody else’s go cart worked fine & the guy at the line was cool.

Cons:
-it’s like a ghost town.
-there were some gross things, a lot of neglect, broken equipment
-was kind of expensive for what you get
-the time on go carts felt too long & therefore the wait is way too long to the point I lost interest & parked mine early. My helmet kept falling off & my left steering was difficult so I’d crash in the same spot taking lefts. Once or twice was fine but after the 4th time it had gotten old.
-Lights are too bright for that atmosphere.
-No one was at putt-putt which was fine but we didn’t see score cards. We were kinda over it at that point though so we nonchalantly hit balls through it without really trying. Again, balls are foam so already didn’t feel the same but likely because people don’t know how to act and no one’s watching besides some cameras supposedly. There’s also other balls everywhere so we would lose ours. It was all a neglected mess.
-Couldn’t find the girl running laser tag. There was a desk we waited at but she was inside & there was only an exit sign on the door. One guy’s vest broke shortly after we started. She reset it for us at least. It was also incredibly hot & humid inside to the point we all came out dehydrated.
-The young girl with the fake lashes at concessions then unnecessarily sold me a bottle of water for $3 when I asked for a water. Typically that’s when you ask if they want fountain water or bottled but she only gave bottled as the option. I saw the cups after she was running my card & asked do you not have free water? She said yeah. I said I can’t get that instead? Then accused me of asking for a bottle. I never order a bottle, I know what I said, she just was unnecessarily charging me for something I didn’t want. $3 won’t kill me but I’d already spent a lot that day & I’ve worked in customer service and this wasn’t it. Especially accusing the customer and then obviously rolling her eyes even though she’s the one that messed up. She was rude as he||, not the type of attitude for a “fun center”.

After typing this, I’m reminded how crappy all of this was we just tried to make the best of it. Don’t recommend unless it gets refurbished & probably bought out for someone to come in and make needed changes. But that’s just my 2 cents!

Boring
Most of the fun kiddie rides didn’t work
Not many arcade games
Looked like a ghost town ( which can be good if everything is working properly )
I would not go back

The only cons is the staff Thats in charge of the rides for the day , (that were working )are friendly

And the pizza is reallyyyyy good ?
Try for your self though?

This was an on the whim visit. I was was very excited but was very underwhelming and disappointed.
Pricing: reasonable for the kids
Attractions:
- go karts had a line, and the wait looked too long
- mini golf was horrible, the balls didn't glow (you'll lose it in the dark) overall just very cheaply executed.
- kids jump house was fun for the kids but the attendant was asleep on the mats. He looked miserable.
- kids train shooter was broken in one seat and I watched a little girl fake play for a whole 3 minutes, no refund or attempted to make it better. It looked fun when it works.
- bumper cars were fun but sad to see several cars broken in the corner.
- arcade was fun, surprised the card value held for as long as it did. The mini string bowling was fun for our 4yr old. The sad part was the large collection of broken games with no signs.
Facilities:
- back bathroom was cheaply repaired and made you feel as if it was dirty
- main bathroom was clean yet the 1 toilet stall had a household toilet seat... Unsanitary for commercial use does not follow code.
- the concrete floor has holes and are trip hazards watch where you walk
- rugs had tape, trip hazard watch where you walk
- in the back by the kid area is a random air hockey table with an exposed extension cord. This looks to be a electrical hazard if a kid were to grab it. Unacceptable, should be in conduit.

Won't visit again, but it was a reasonable time for the $30 price for the kid package.
