It’s clear that there’s plenty to do here in New Hampshire. Winter, Spring, Summer, and Fall there’s something to do outside including skiing, tubing, sleigh-riding, and general exploring. Not to mention the many indoor attractions like flea markets and restaurants that fill the state. But this gigantic arcade might be worth changing all your plans! They claim to be the biggest in the world and, judging by how much there is to do, we believe it!
If you’ve spent most of your life in New Hampshire, there’s a good chance your childhood memories are filled with days at Funspot!

Founded in 1952 by Bob Lawton, Funspot is more than just an arcade. It’s a multi-activity experience that will keep you busy in a different way every time you visit.
FUNSPOT / Facebook To meet the man behind this legendary place, you can find Mr. Lawton in Long Tavern every Saturday from 3 to 4 p.m.
It’s hard to tell just how huge this place is from the outside, but once you walk in there’s no mistaking that it’s actually huge. And, just in case you don’t buy it, you can see the official designation on the wall from the Guinness Book of World Records. It’s officially the largest arcade in the world!

If you have a special place in your heart for the vintage games, you’ll want to check out the American Classic Arcade Museum where 300 classic games await you.
