- Laconia, NH, hosts Funspot, the world's largest arcade, especially popular during Bike Week.
- Funspot originated in 1952 as a mini-golf and penny-arcade pavilion and has expanded into multiple buildings.
- It offers diverse attractions including arcade games, mini-golf, go-karts, and bowling, all indoors.
- Galloping Ghost Arcade in Brookfield, IL, also claims to be the world's largest, with over 1,000 cabinets.
- Both arcades are considered the greatest, despite only one being the biggest.
- Funspot's third-floor 'museum' section preserves classic games, adding an aura of respect for the era.
- The arcade has gained national attention, notably featured in 'King of Kong' and articles.
