City Fun Center - Poway, California

Clean place, very fun and colorful machines, I’ll definitely be coming back to try the glowing mini golf course!! We were pleasantly surprised by the relatively low cost of the games. We’re just a couple of adults and it was a great time, my favorite game was basketball connect 4 (they have some fun pinball machines in the corner too). I really liked the Atari Pong one as well ~ it’s not just a screen, there are physical components that move around! They also have play-til-you-win games that I’m excited to try next time so I can get a guaranteed prize lol.

This is a GREAT spot for kids and adults alike. Cheap fun date night idea: have dinner at In-n-Out across the parking lot and then come here for some fun.

It was a bummer that there weren’t a ton of people there - please stop by and support fun local arcades like this!

This place is outstanding. We had kids ranging from 4-14yrs old in our party and they were all easily entertained. The facility was CLEAN and all the games were great. My 4yr old was able to utilize the bowling alley with her cousins. The staff was on point. I mentioned that one of the crane games was not working to my daughter and a staff member overheard me and he immediately fixed it. The staff at the ticket counter very patient with my family as they decided what to buy with their tickets. As other people mentioned the prices do seem a little high; however gone are the days of 7/11, Family Fun Center & Boomers quarter arcade games. Honestly it didn't bother me, my family had fun for a few hours and that's all that's matters to me. We'll definitely be back.

It's new and clean. Not too overwhelming. We were looking for a fun easy special night with a 6 year old and this place was perfect. Easy to get to, easy to park, easy to play a few games in an hour. Bowling and mini golf looked fun. We'll probably go back and try those another night. The kid even felt satisfied to get one little toy with his tickets and save the rest to add up in summer. The glow party room looked fun.

I decided to stop by for the first time today to check this place out. They have mini bowling and mini putting that I haven't tried yet. I was there mostly for pinball. They have my favorite game which is Attack From Mars! I had a question about it so I emailed the contact address and got a reply very quickly! I look forward to coming back to play more pinball!

Stopped here after hearing a new arcade open, and missed the old Nickel City in Carmel Mountain. It must be the same ownership under a different name because they had Nickel City ticket rolls in some of their machines. Super clean place and polite staff. Played for a little over a hour on $25, which I would say is a pretty good deal. Great new games as well and good pinball selection.

City Fun Center is a new, nicely built, and clean facility. But when we visited, the games were constantly malfunctioning or in error states. We had to return to the front counter to have our cards refunded 5 different times over the course of an hour. Really kills the fun and momentum when you have get customer service constantly. And all of that comes at a serious price premium. My son loved the Fast and Furious racing game- $4 per play! $14 for 9 holes of indoor mini golf! Simply not worth spending hundreds of dollars here for a couple hours of entertainment for a family.

Came on a Sunday afternoon, it's really nice and new and has a positive vibe to it. Great area out front to get drinks if you are so inclined, $6 pints and $16 pitchers. $50 in game cards lasted two children and one adult 90 minutes... Most games are a dollar, there are some classics in back that are $0.50, and several that are much more (laser maze, mini bowling). Ticket redemption values are really high though, so the kids had fun feeling like they had a lot to spend, with lots of good options, even at lower ticket values.
