Whether you’re single or taken, the most romantic month of the year is upon us again! Experts predict that Americans will spend billions of dollars on Valentine’s Day. From the flowers to the chocolates, people will do whatever they can to show their appreciation to their significant other. However, you don’t have to break the bank to express your love to that special someone.  The Family Fun Center has tons of fun things you can do with your loved ones without spending a lot of money. It’s perfect for a fun date night without the kids or even a family night out. Here are a few reasons why the entertainment center is a perfect place for a date.

We all wandered through the aisles to find the right square chocolate box for our special someone. We glared at the shiny heart-shaped cardboard to see if they had just the right piece that they will like. We wondered if they would eat the caramel or the filling that oozes down each piece. Instead of chocolates or flowers why not gift an unforgettable experience instead! At Family Fun Center you can turn this holiday tradition on its head with a unique gift.

We have large 14-inch pizzas that can be topped with pepperoni, bacon, sausage, mushrooms, and much more. If you’re not in the mood for pizza there’s also has boneless chicken wings that can be smothered in sauces of the couple’s choice. This would be a special treat that will express how unique your significant other is!

February brings along so much pressure to schedule the perfect date. At Family Fun Center there are a variety of activities to do without spending hundreds of dollars to take someone on a night on the town. You can go head-to-head with your date in a round of Urban Attack Laser Tag, fight to win a game of Pac-Man, and strive to get a hole-in-one during Adventure Golf! A date at the Family Fun Center will also be less expensive than a dinner at a fancy restaurant.

Not only could you have a fun date night at Family Fun Center, there are numerous fun activities to enjoy with kids and the whole family – it’s in our name so you know there’s plenty of family fun. Start with the Funtasia Play Area where your little ones can run around a four-story maze of tunnels, crawl through tubes, and maneuver through obstacles. Kids will have a ball finding their way through the play area. It’s an outstanding attraction that will keep them entertained for hours.

If you’re looking for a way to impress your special someone or have a family date night, stop by the Family Fun Center. We offer a variety of fun things to do that you and your significant other will talk about for years to come. Click here to view all our specials and to start planning your trip.

Is it just us, or have these last few years been both a blur and dragged on forever at the same time? With so much changing so fast, and everyone trying to keep up with the news and the latest trends constantly, it can, unfortunately, be easy to accidentally push family-time to the back of your priorities list.

While finding the perfect school-parent-work-athlete-etc. life balance can be one of life’s greatest hurdles, we still think you should put in that little extra effort to spend with your family. Here are a few tips on how to make the most of your family time in Lakeland.

Schedule It In

Pick one day each week that is devoted to a family night – whether it’s spent at home or adventuring somewhere new together! Obviously, if your career has you on call or your schedule rotates from week to week, it can be hard to pinpoint a day of consistent availability each week. But when possible, set a day where no one makes plans except to spend it which each other, where you might have to say no to other plans that arise or request certain work and home boundaries when/where possible. It might be hard to adjust to at first, but you’ll start to look forward to that quality time each week in no time!

Make It Meaningful

Family time is not family time if everyone is home, but off doing their own things in different rooms or simply not paying attention to each other. Following up with our previous point, try scheduling in Technology-Free Tuesdays. Have dinners together away from the TV, without any cellphones within reach, so that you can all enjoy each other’s company and conversation.

Adventure Together

So, you don’t want to spend family time at home? Rest assured there are plenty of options to go out and do together. You can go on picnics, go hiking or simply a walk, play a backyard sport, go backyard camping, or even go swimming together! If you’re looking for something more suited for the indoors, you can take an art class, go to a museum, play board, watch a movie, or come join us at the Family Fun Center at our indoor fun park: a local Lakeland favorite!

Stir up a little friendly competition with our numerous arcade games, laser tag, and mini-golf course. To save big, check out our Family Fun Pack that’s only $49.99. It includes 4 Games of Adventure Mini-Golf, a one-topping pizza, a pitcher of soda, and 4 $5 Game Cards to use in our arcade. Sounds like the perfect family-time bonding to us!

Fall usually brings to mind yellowing leaves and the beginning of sweater weather. As the temperature drops, several holidays follow close behind, often encouraging family gatherings. With the year coming to an end, it is a great time to reflect on your life, and of those around you, too. Here at the Family Fun Center, we are grateful for our loyal customers, our amazing team members, and our ability to provide endless fun to all of our visitors.

What are you thankful for this year? We’ve put together a few ideas to help you begin your gratitude list: 

Seasonal Food & Drink:

Whether you prefer sweet or savory, fall has no shortage of special recipes and flavors to be grateful for. Pumpkin spice, green bean casserole, honey-baked ham, and buttery mashed potatoes cover just the tip of the iceberg of all things fall. We all know grandma’s homemade pumpkin pie is better than the store-bought kind, but the flavors are sure to melt in your mouth either way.

While the temperatures don’t drop drastically in Lakeland, if you’re in the mood for comfort food, then you’ll want to drop by CAP’s Pizza Café. Our tater tots, soft pretzels, and mini corn dogs are the perfect snacks that’ll make you nice and toasty from the inside out!

Family Bonding Time:

November and December are filled to the brim with holidays and festivities. Veteran’s Day, Día de Los Muertos, Channukah, Kwanzaa, Thanksgiving, and Christmas are just a few of the days that fall on this time of year and normally bring the family together. What better way to bond with your family than over a little friendly competition?

There’s certainly something for everyone at the Family Fun Center. If laser tag isn’t your style, we have other options such as adventure golf, a soft play area, and a bustling arcade. There’s no shortage of family fun activities here. Whether the family is looking for a way to have a day of cozy, indoor fun or just looking for a way to spend the day, the Family Fun Center promises fun for all ages.

So, grab your cousins, grandparents, and siblings! Set up teams or see who can reign as the ultimate family champion. Don’t forget to hit the winner’s circle redemption center at the end of your trip to trade your tickets in for your souvenirs.

We hope you celebrate your holiday season with us and check out all of the attractions. View all of the Family Fun Center’s specials and promotions at https://thefamilyfuncenter.com/specials/ to start planning your next trip.

Summer 2021 is quickly coming to a close. Before we know it, it will be time for the kiddos to head back to school for a new year of learning. To get a jump start on a successful school year, here a few things Lakeland families can do to ensure that the 2021-2022 school year is the best one yet!

Go Back to School Shopping

It’s time to stock up on clothes, backpacks, uniforms and supplies to make sure that your child is well-equipped for the upcoming school year. Back to school shopping doesn’t have to be a bore either! Make your shopping spree an all-day affair with a stop for lunch at their favorite restaurant.

Start the Academics Early

It’s time to start easing your kids into a schedule that involves some cerebral activity again. Get them involved in puzzles, brain teasers, crossword puzzles or word searches to help ease your children back into “classroom mode.” It will get your child used to homework time in a fun, interactive way and ensure that they hit the ground running when they go back to school.

Begin Your “Back to School” Schedule

The first day of school isn’t the time to test out your new morning routine! You need to get your kids acclimated to waking up earlier so that when it’s time to go back to school it’s not quite as much of a shock to the system.

Have a Final Hurrah

If you have school-aged children, they are probably in denial and dreading the end of their summer fun. Make sure that they end their summer on a high-note with a family trip to The Family Fun Center! From laser tag, to the arcade, mini golf and the delicious food, your family will have a blast. Get the best deal with our Family Fun Pack which includes 4 Games of Adventure Mini-Golf, a one-topping pizza, pitcher of soda and four $5 game cards for only $49.99.

When it comes to summer and kids, free time can quickly turn into boredom. While it may seem like the only way to entertain the kids is with expensive outings to amusement parks and restaurants, you don’t have to break the bank to have fun in Lakeland. Here are some budget-friendly activities to help you bust that summer boredom!

A great way for your family to find gratification and budget-friendly summer fun is by volunteering your time. There are a variety of non-profits in Lakeland that offer volunteer opportunities that your family will find to be inspiring and skill-building.

Have a camp out in your yard! If you can’t take time off work this summer, take advantage of the great weather and go camping in your own backyard. Put away the electronics and enjoy nature with your family in the convenience of your own backyard.

Use the summer as an opportunity to get fit and keep your kids busy at the same time. Choose outdoor sports and physical activities that don’t require a big investment in equipment, such as participating in group hikes on local trails in Central Florida, playing outdoor sports or running in a local 5K.

Break up all the time spent outside and get the kids in the kitchen for some fun projects. The kitchen is a great place to teach skills like measurement and addition while also helping your kids practice reading and learning new vocabulary words. And the best part is you get to enjoy some tasty treats in the process.

Family Fun Center of Lakeland also has plenty of affordable options for fun! Try our beautifully maintained 18-hole mini golf!  If you’d rather escape the heat indoors, challenge your family to a bout of laser tag or spend the day with our extensive selection of over 100 arcade games! We have everything from classics to cutting-edge games, so the whole family can find a game to enjoy. 

Summer fun doesn’t need to cost an arm and a leg to be boredom-busting, fun or educational. Be sure to check out https://thefamilyfuncenter.com/specials/ for more ideas on affordable fun!
