Before fun centers, American families passed their leisure time by tilling fields, reading by candlelight, and writing long break-up letters to England. Declare your independence from boredom with today’s Groupon: for $20, you get your choice of three activities, plus a turbo card for 90 minutes of unlimited games and fun house rides (up to a $48.50 value) at Funfuzion at New Roc City. You must pick three different activities.

Funfuzion entertains adults, children, and childless college roommates alike with their wide selection of rides, video games, and other indoor activities. Mix and match your three activity credits amongst five popular amusements such as Roc’n Bowl, which returns bowling to its Studio 54 roots with flashing disco lights and music. Otherwise, strap on a computerized sensor vest and blast a few buddies on the space-age battlefield of Lazer Tag. You can also fulfill a need for circuit-contained speed on the electric-powered go-kart speedway (riders must be at least 60” tall) or sink a few black-light birdies during a round of glow-in-the-dark mini golf. Players who hate to spoil a neon walk can opt for rack & cue pool instead, where 25 tournament-size billiards tables gives you plenty of opportunities to practice hardboiled dialogue while the hostess service keeps you stocked with snacks, beer, and wine.

In between entertainments, you'll revel in 90 minutes of unlimited access to the fun house, which boasts hundreds of video and redemption games, as well as adrenaline-pumping rides like a MaxFlight roller coaster simulator, and Space Shot—a 185-foot rooftop tower launch (open seasonally). For the chronologically challenged thrill-seeker, Funfuzion also houses appropriately scaled kiddie rides such as a full-size carousel and the frog hop (a mini version of the space shot). Riders of all ages and altitudes can fuel their fun tanks at the full-service food court otherwise known as Galaxy Café.
