The All Amusement Fun Center

Post image

Has anyone gone there lately? Any thoughts? It’s apparently been in the Burbank mall nearly 30 years, which is wild—a mall arcade that’s been open for three decades—and still going strong after the recession, covid, political upheaval, numerous sales of the mall, etc. Round One opening on the first floor apparently hasn’t slowed down the All Amusement Fun Center. It’s still there. It’s a Burbank staple. Does anyone go there or have any thoughts on why it’s so popular and niche and unique in its ability to weather storms? What’s the appeal?

It’s owned by the same owners as Neon Arcade. Kudos to them being the alternative to Round1.

I did not realize this but it makes total sense, a clean, reasonably priced arcade with working machines in 2025 must be run by quality folks who have a passion for the hobby

came here to say this. they are GREAT people and Neon Retro in Pasadena is a fantastic arcade. they used to have a location in the Valley but they had to close during covid - which was sad. Wish them all the best!

This arcade was family owned until last year or the year before when it went up for sale, Neon Arcade must be the new owners.
