Amusement Arcades for kids - WITH PHOTO'S (Denver, Thornton: amusement parks, houses)

[MobyLL]

Some of you may remember this photo of Funtastic Fun from the Englewood photos I put up awhile back:


Well I finally broke down and took my kids there... I had low expectations but it was actually a lot of fun. The kids had a blast for at least a good solid 2 1/2 hours. It is kind of nice that in the age of Disney World that places like this still exist. I'd say it is great for kids from about 2 years up to maybe 10 or so.

We have also gone to Paradise Playground and the kids had fun there too, but it is 80% bounce houses and for some reason has an odor that is somewhat like a high school gym locker room.

Anybody been to Fat City? Welcome To Fat City! We have not been there yet.

Loved all the photos...except the one of the fellow wearing the Red Sox shirt. After what happened in Denver last September, Red Sox stuff ought to be outlawed. Anyway it looks like the children had a good time and remember that the best thing you can give your child is the memories of the times you all spent together.

I like that they won't allow anyone in without a kid. It's been awhile since we've been there, but it used to be very clean (for that kind of place).

I was going to write the exact same thing! I just didn't want to rag on the dude who was nice enough to post the photos though.

Looks like the kids had a great time there. When I'm in the Denver area with my kids, they always want to go to Boondocks in Thornton. They have Miniature Golf, Go Karts, Bumper Boats, Laser Tag, and a whole bunch of arcade games. I usually end up taking them once a year, or so, along with my niece and nephew. We get the wristbands, which allow them to play on everything except the video games (they get a set number of tokens) all day for one price. It ends up costing quite a bit of money, but nothing like the amusement parks in southern California.
