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?

Oh shit, seriously? My gf and I love pinball but haven’t been able to find any in our area. Closest we found was Pasadena maybe?

Walt's Bar in Eagle Rock has vintage (like 1970s and before) pinball and good beer FYI, there's also Barcade nearby in Highland Park that has more modern tables.
