🚗 VAULTED ROAD TRIP:
FUNSPOT! LACONIA, NH 🕹️
Sometimes the coolest stops are the ones you never planned on making.
While in the latest grail hunt through New England, our Vaulted Road Trip stumbled upon FUNSPOT (funspotnh) in Laconia, New Hampshire — and if you’re into pop culture, retro gaming or pure nostalgia, this place is incredible.
Funspot has been entertaining people since 1952 and is home to a massive collection of arcade games, pinball machines and other attractions. But what really got our attention was the American Classic Arcade Museum inside.
This isn’t just a room filled with old games. It’s essentially a playable museum of video-game history.
We found classics like Pong, TRON, Buck Rogers, Star Trek, The Main Event, Tag Team Wrestling, Commando and countless others — most still lit up, playable and not restorations. If you grew up feeding quarters into arcade machines, there are a LOT of “I remember that!” moments here.
There are also some incredible pieces of gaming history on display, including an original 1980 Pac-Man circuit board, vintage Atari memorabilia, the massive Hercules pinball machine from 1979, and the classic Shoot the Bear r***e game.
And it doesn’t stop with the arcade. Funspot also features rows of Skee-Ball and pinball, plus mini-golf, candlepin bowling and traditional ten-pin bowling.
For a collectibles business built around pop culture and the things we grew up loving, this is exactly what a Vaulted Road Trip is supposed to find.
⭐ HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
If you’re anywhere near New Hampshire’s Lakes Region, put Funspot on the list. We stumbled upon it almost by accident and ended up finding one of the coolest nostalgia stops of the entire trip.
Sometimes nostalgia is better when you can still put a token in it. 🕹️🎳
