Had an amazing experience here. David is the best 👌 I highly recommend it for travelers & and residents from close & far. Great prices 👍 It's a very historic place (lots of arcade history) Spacious place in oakhurst three floors including a mini golf, bowling, and a bar.
Had an awesome time with my family at Funspot. There are so many amazing games. I was skeptical about their claim at being the largest arcade in the world until I stepped inside. Their retro arcade room is a truly one of a kind room. Would highly recommend Funspot! Chris@ North East Ford
We were looking for a place to play inside out of the rain. Bring money or credit card. Almost Everything is self pay including mini golf. However, attendants are readily available for any issues (machines not giving tickets; screwing up bowling entries). Plenty of games and fun for all ages. Only negative there is no elevator for strollers. You have to walk outside to access each level (there are 3).
This place is a slice out of time that's fun for everyone. I think we spent only like $60 for two of us and had lunch there (classic snack bar food), played games for hours, pinball, arcade, and ticket awarding games. I left with a new glass from the prize counter. While you can do pretty much everything with a card, bring a few dollars to donate to the arcade museum so they can continue the upkeep of hardware that is becoming more and more rare. Also bought a hoodie because they had them. This place is amazing, very chill retro vibes.
You can’t go wrong with Funspot. The arcade has everything. Indoor Bowling and Minigolf. There is plenty of parking in the back, side and front. They have food on the “basement” level. Plenty of tables and chairs if you’re throwing a birthday party. A few bathrooms around the building. The games are fairly priced and most are in working order. It seems like the kids have fun collecting the tickets and reclaiming the prizes downstairs. While the adults have fun on the top level playing the games from the 80’s. This is a must visit if your in the lakes region. Its a 2 hour ride from Boston.
Great place for indoor activity on a rainy day. Plan on spending money. Many games to play for tickets. Bowling and Mini Golf was great fun. The food and staff were okay.
A must stop for all families on vacation❗Kids had a blast!!! I thoroughly enjoyed some of the older games, brings back memories. LOVE THE BUBBLE HOCKEY! Hit a small jackpot also😃Mini bumper cars were awesome for kidsos!! $20 lasted us over an hour here with 2 kids...wouldve only lasted 47 seconds at Dave n Busters. Highly recommend stopping here!!! 3 floors of all sorts of new and old games, mini golf, also go karts across the street and a bingo hall nextdoor! Minutes from everything in Weirs Beach.
I’ve been coming here for the past few years now, and it’s been so much fun! Tons of classic games, racing games and other stuff to play/do here.

We had so much fun! The food was great, live music was incredible, and the staff was beyond helpful. I want to shoutout Becky specifically, you can tell she really cares about every passenger on the cruise. She went above and beyond to make us feel supported, and made quick accommodations to make sure my 87 year old grandmother was comfortable. It made the evening very special and unforgettable.
We love the Mt. Washington boat ride. It's a nice relaxing time. Lots of views of gorgeous houses. Gift shop on shore & on boat. Bar on board with food. Depending on cruise, they have 3 diff boats. You can stop at the other stop, get off, and get back on within a time frame or just straight chill back & forth.
Had a great experience on the Mount Washington Cruise Buzz Brewfest! The tour covered major portions of Lake Winnipesaukee and the staff were friendly. It was certainly nice to sample brews and drinks while on the water as well! The views were fantastic and the ride was easy. Highly recommend!
We caught the cruise out of Wolfeboro - it was wonderful to experience Lake Winnipesaukee from the boat, which was beautiful and had 3 large levels. The staff were all super friendly. Boat and facilities were clean. Food from the galley was really good, too! Overall a great experience, would definitely do it again. Bonus: Wolfeboro was a great place to spend the afternoon!
We did the island cocktail cruise on the Winnipesaukee Spirit. Captain Chris was fantastic!! The ship was beautiful. All the staff was so pleasant. Audrey in the gift shop was so sweet! I can’t wait for our next trip out!! Price was great for the trip!
An amazing floating piece of history, giving amazing views of Lake Winnipesaukee. The crew are professional, helpful and courteous. If you are lucky enough to visit the lake area, this boat tour is a must!!
We had a wonderful cruise today 8/21/25 10am from Weirs. Enjoying a family Christmas gift.The staff and attention to details are exemplary. Todays Captains Jim Morash & Smitty Smith did a fantastic job at the helm & very personable. Sky's bright blue & the water like diamonds. We can't recommend this Excursion enough. Until next time! Photos attached.
Went on the buffet cruise and had a wonderful time! The crew was great. The food was great. I learned a lot about Lake Winnipesaukee and would recommend the cruise.

This place is amazing and so much fun! You can easily spend an entire day here if you want. Lots of obstacles that can be as challenging as you want depending on how you attack them and a fine zip line included in the basic package. A separate zip line course is worth the extra cost as you zip through the woods. We go here every summer from FL.
First time here and second time ziplining. Our guide we super helpful and fun! Candace and Peter I believe were their names. The staff that was there this past Tuesday was all friendly!
Took my son there last weekend for his 11th birthday and I was beyond impressed staff. They were very helpful and we had an amazing experience thank you very much.
Great day on a ropes/ adventure course. The staff is amazing and the course is very nice with a good touch of challenge for those looking for one. Definitely bring or wear sunscreen as most of the course is in the open sun. As far as the course goes though it is great and you go until you take off your harness. This is a physically demanding place so if that I'd not your style you may want to avoid it, other wise it is great and a fun time for children and adults alike.
The staff here was very knowledgeable and paid close attention the whole time. They were great at explaining the challenges and providing safety advice. We went when it was raining so that definitely added to the challenge, since the course was slippery, but had a fantastic time nonetheless.
Brought my daughter here for her 8th birthday and we had an absolute blast. The staff on the roads course are very helpful and attentive to helping you and your children if needed and are even great at calming down an 8 year olds panic. Would like to visit again next summer.
Such a great time! I took two ten year olds, my daughter and cousin, and they loved it! My daughter got really scared at the top of the first tree and didn't want to go through with it but the instructor talked her through her fear and got her to conquer the first obstacle and after that, she loved it! I was super impressed. She's been scared of everything her entire life, so it was a huge deal!
Loved the experience! The staff was very helpful ! great time...check it out!

Slide 1 of 8
Support this locally owned and family run establishment. Come here for the good movies and nostalgia of better days!! Location is unbeatable in the heart of weirs beach. They also host events for Laconia bike weeek!!!!
The location is probably a three star rating, but it gets an extra star for being something we could use more of, drive in theaters. Some drive ins do everything better but for nostalgia, value, and giving the kids a cool memory Weirs fits the bill. The food offerings are typical, greasy, and that's okay. Experience watching is good, no complaints. The bathrooms? The bathrooms are the worst place on Earth so be warned.
Don’t waste your time or money. You literally can’t see the faces on the screen. We left 15 minutes into the movie because it was that bad. Brandy at the ticket booth, instead of helping, chose to be rude and argumentative—and refused to issue a refund. I’m not about to sit through two hours of eye strain just because they don’t know how to turn up the brightness.”
👀 This is my 1st time commenting here, so here goes.. I have not been to the Weirs Drive-In Theater in 54 years. I have traved the world and have seen better homeless encampments in 3rd world countries.. 🙏 I love nature. If any company or business purchases this property and would like my help or ideas to make it, or anywhere else beautiful - feel free to contact me. 💡
The screen had all these lines on it, the visual wasn't crisp. There was also a firework show for a half hour during the movie. Absolutely insufferable. Bright flood light near the screen from lot next door doesn't help. Feel like they need to coordinate with their neighbors a bit more and smooth out their screen
The lady at the entrance was very pleasant! The facilities could definitely use upgrading, mowing, paving, screens, general updating. The ladies in the concession stand were not friendly at all.
Go. As soon as you can. There aren't many Drive-In Theaters left, and every family should enjoy this slice of Americana while it's still available. Bring some chairs, tune in your radio, and dig the outdoors movie experience.
Great time. Been going here for years. Glad they are up and running again. Treat yourself and relive days of old.

Nice happy pier on some clear blue water! Beautiful location, with boat rides and a train the runs along the side of the water. I have to come back!
Always a great place
I always enjoy coming here to sit and watch the boats. Nice relaxing spot. But always busy, limited parking and the road can get very busy in the summer.
Great place to meet friends- great view of the lake. Beach access- woke up early one morning to watch the sun rise over the lake- awesome view. Check out Dox for a good meal and a few drinks
Beautiful Views. Crowded for Laconia 🏍️Week. I parked on back street and traffic was still pretty heavy. They do have bathrooms (minimal wait times) under the main floor.
Very cool place with lots of shops to visit. Can take a boat or train ride. Parking is limited and not free, but it turns over quickly and right out front. Bars and food places, mixed with games and shops. You could even go to the beach. Bathrooms on the beach close early, the ones near the boat were still open. We often go for a few hours.
Lots to do lots to choose from. Boat rides train rides food and Game Center for the kiddos a nice place to walk along the small strip lakeside!
A breath of fresh air in the lake.

It’s been 5 years since I been here but this has morphed into a "most excellent adventure!" TONS of fun stuff to do. Experience the positive energy with fellow male-female riders of all ages, shapes & sizes. It is truly a unique and gratifying experience. The only draw back is that it’s expensive if your not bringing lots of money with you the experience isn’t worth it .

Doing what you love to do with family and friends. Awesome ride, awesome views memories forever

Awesome arcade!! They give out real tickets out of the machines which is so satisfying, my kids loved it and the prizes are well worth the time to play for. Well worth the visit and we will be back!
Classic arcade games and some new ones. Kids always love going. Bumper car guy allowed my youngest to ride for free with my older kid. Only charged by the car. Very nice and friendly guy. Ticket counter staff always rounded up the value of tickets my kids had, to allow them to get something more expensive than what they'd earned. Nice people!
I've been coming to laconia for at least a week every summer since I was a kid! & this year my husband, 2 kids, & myself decided to carry on that tradition! I always went to the boardwalk & arcades as a kid, & this week was no different. We went the 2nd day we were here when it was sprinkling & had a great time in the arcades, (the overhang outside kept us dry walking the strip) & then went again tonight when the weather was perfect; & once again had so much fun! I love when it gets dark & the arcades light up the strip, both arcades have a good selection of games, each game is fairly priced, (it doesn't cost a bunch per game) & have good prizes for the amount of tickets! They have upgraded them since i was a kid so its not out of date, but they do still have some of the games from years ago; which i enjoy! Both arcades still use quarters & print out tickets when you win, which i like way better than having to load a game card, paying a fee for the card; & then having the tickets automatically go on the card. Putting the quarters in & seeing the tickets print out when you win is part of the fun & experience which newer arcades lack! The buildings are old, considering theyve been there for decades; but i love the nostalgia of them! We spent about 2hrs both nights we came, & the kids as well as my husband & myself had a blast! I also love how you can combine the tickets from both arcades since half moon owns them both! The staff was firendly & rounded up my kids tickets, so they could get the prizes they wanted; & didnt rush us out even though they were supposed to be closed! Parking wasnt bad at all, we found a spot fairly quickly; & it was $2 or $4 for 2hrs & we paid at the machine. We will definitely be back again next year & may even try to go again before we leave to go home this weekend.
We have been coming here for about 40 years....it is a must visit ! We go here at least 2x a year. Some really nice old games and just last month we found some brand new great games.
My family visited in shoulder season and had some experiences during our visit. Decent selection of older and newer games. There is some room for improvement here. First, three separate games failed - the staff taped off the broken coin slots. We were not refunded the money but were given tickets (which at first I thought was fine, though read on). Second, the prize counter is truly awful. The values are way too high especially for out dated plastic junk. Worst of all - no candy for low ticket values. This was a first for me. How do you not have low cost candy as a prize for the tickets for the kids? We visited several times and never saw even one party satisfied with the ticket counter. I personally saw ticket slips crumpled on the floor and we gave ours away to a random kid. My kids were disappointed calling it a "scam". So what went well? I was very happy to see the vintage Shooting Gallery in (mostly) working condition. I played it a lot - good fun. Also the antique Grandma's Predictions Machine fortune teller is worth a visit. Recommendations to the owners: 1.) check the coin slots of the games more often 2.) refund lost money which is very likely to be immediately spent 3.) dispose of the contents of the existing prize counter and replace it with a better modern selection and definitely include candy (like all of your local competitors are doing). Thank you for maintaining the Shooting Gallery and Grandma's Predictions Machine.
Great place to kill some time before or after the beach with the family! Fun arcade with lots of classics, from pinball and skee ball, as well as physical competitive games like air hockey (table nice and new in '23) and rod hockey. Plenty of chance and skill games that can really pump out the tickets, though the dude running the prize counter when I was there was kinda checked out/grumpy. It didn't bother the children, just the adults. There are a few newer racing and shooting games, as well, so there's options for all ages.
A nice entertainment spot on the weird beach area and perfect addition to a summer day trip to this scenic location. However, the rooms and ambiance look old. Need to improve cleanliness. They are on multiple shops with different sections of entertainment on the same side of the street. Bumper cars are just five dollars a person
I asked the woman working at the front what I could get for 31 tickets and she didn't speak. Then I asked if they had candy for a low amount of tickets(I hadn't read the sign yet) and she just stared at me and didn't speak. Then she threw my ticket away and continued to just stare. Nice games, fun atmosphere, very bizarre people working there...
