Fun Zone
Fun Zone
Fun Zone (also known as FunZone or Fun Zone Amusements) was located at 229 Broadhollow Rd, Farmingdale, NY 11735. It was a popular indoor amusement park and arcade. It operated from roughly the mid-1990s until its closure in 2011, leaving nostalgic memories for Long Islanders who enjoyed its unique blend of games, shows, and parties before becoming something else.
History and Features
It featured a variety of indoor entertainment, including a large arcade with over 100 cabinets and redemption games, indoor amusement rides such as bumper cars and a merry-go-round, a multi-level laser tag arena and inflatable bounce houses.
Animatronic Show: The park famously hosted the Rock-afire Explosion animatronic band, which was inherited from a Sayville location, making it a unique draw.
Birthday Parties: The venue was a popular spot for children's birthday parties, with events often held in their party rooms or the Nathan's food court area.
Indoor/Outdoor Mix: It offered a classic indoor amusement park feel, even hosting secret raves before closing.
Pop Culture Impact: The venue was well-known on Long Island for its frequent television commercials during the 1990's and 2000's, often featuring the tagline: "Mom, we're so bored!".
Its Legacy & Closure:
Nostalgic Landmark: Fun Zone became a beloved, albeit brief, fixture for Long Islanders, with many sharing fond memories of the animatronics and atmosphere on social media. The center closed its doors around 2011, joining other lost Long Island entertainment spots, much to the dismay of its fans.
