New Hampshire has a lot of things to love, but it's not exactly known for being the largest of anything. But what the state does boast is pretty neat. We might not have the largest hills, the longest trails, or the most population, but we do have the largest arcade! Located right here in New Hampshire, this place is great for people of all ages who like to have fun.

There are more than 600 arcade games to be enjoyed at Funspot, ranging from vintage pinball machines to more modern video games. It's easy to spend the entire day inside.
Funspot is also the location of the American Classic Arcade Museum, which has more than 300 games to enjoy. To make things even more fun, this place doesn't just have video games. You'll also find fun activities, including our favorite. Skee-ball, anyone?
Beyond the world of games you'll find lots of things to keep you busy. Bumper cars are always exciting.
