So many games! Despite it being small, there are all kinds of games, like coin pushers, claw machines, and more. The prices are quite high, and the prizes are mid. That really is my only complaint. Games can be dirty, I have gotten the Flu before from here. It's never very packed though. There are many events like Double Dollar Days and being to use grades to get game chips. Claw machine prizes are mid, typically knock offs, and the prizes can be hard to win; payout. This will be fun for kids, especially love the new icee machine. read more

Fun for all ages... Fun Factory is just that and it's nice to see it remain in the same spot at Kahala Mall for quite some time. I do get curious and veer in though don't have the card needed to play games which I think I do so that I don't get caught especially if I see a prize that catches my eye and to get the needed required tickets for redemption lol! I've always enjoyed carnival games and just the joy of catching that prize is the real thrill though this location is very small it's a bit a joy to take that much need break to make you smile indeed. I've purchased gift cards here for gifts on numerous occasion making it a great gift for all ages as they do have games for everyone and cute rides for the little ones. The distraction here is real as there's so many cute plushies in the claw catcher...I want that Hello Kitty Boba drink!!! Thank you! read more

Can I just say that my kids love fun factory? It doesn't help that it's in the mall where we frequent often. It also doesn't help that the claw machines have super cute squishmallows on a regular basis that forces mommy to play to win. Daddy also loves the Willy wonka coin drop game. Fun for the whole family! Yes, it can get very pricey if you are here regularly, but the kids and adults love it. They are always busy. The machines are very clean and the prizes are trendy. They definitely know the target market. read more

Fun Factory - Be there! - Arcades Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Great fun place to bring kids. This location caters to the smaller kiddos. Little smaller than other fun factories. Inside of kahala mall great for families :) read more

My kids love it here!! Nice place to have a bit of fun while shopping and in the air conditioning! Staff is usually pretty friendly and helpful, but also non-intrusive. Decently clean as well. There are a good selection of games but not so many that you get stuck in there long. Windward mall is a little bigger/has more games, if that's what you're looking for. Double dollar days are the best deals! Otherwise you'll drop a pretty penny for one visit. I come here often so it's worth it for me to take advantage double dollar days. There's also half priced games on Tuesdays for VIPs but it's harder to come on Tuesdays for me. read more

Fun Factory is a small arcade located within Kahala mall. Games seem to change up every few months or so which is kind of nice, however I'm not entirely sure what age bracket they are trying to target. On one hand theres a merry go round and some games for really young kids (probably 3-5y/o) and then theres a few of the larger machines for teens/adults like the Jurassic Park light gun game and another zombie light gun game that I cant remember the name of now. Seems like they're trying to target every demographic, but because its such a small space there's really only like 2-3 games available for each age range. Staff is friendly enough. Josh is by far the friendliest one there and he clearly wants to help everyone as much as he can. As with all arcades these days you need to purchase a card and load it with "tokens" in order to play. All tickets won in any game are loaded on to the card and can be redeemed for overpriced prizes. Nothing out of the ordinary on this end. read more

Kahala Mall is convenient with a ton of parking. So an impromptu Saturday with your kiddo at Fun Factory seems to be a decent activity. But..is it really?! I had no idea that it would cost almost $100 for an hour of rides and games for one child. We loaded a card for $30 with no idea what that buys you...quickly realizing after a few games and rides...not much. We added more money and our little one got sucked into playing the grabbing game which is really a scam. They included squishy animals that are silky in texture so the prongs can't get a proper hold on the toys. My little one wanted to try it again and again..deceptively easy. Great money maker. After this experience I feel like this place should be renamed "Fund" factory. read more

Fun Factory - Arcades Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

This was a fun place to spend an hour with my 2 nephews (ages 5 and almost 7). They had been here for a birthday party recently that left a big impression so we had to come back. An hour here cost us $30 per kid based on their game play (could be more or less for you based on the game choices). It was easy to reload money to the plastic cards you're given to swipe on the machines and the employees were helpful and present when you needed them. You load money to the arcade plastic card, which translates to tokens, and then each game costs a certain number of tokens to play, so make sure to check a machine before you swipe, as some of the machines take a lot of tokens. Some games allow you to win points, which you can trade in for cheap little toys (bouncy ball, mini slinky, plastic handcuffs, etc). They have specials where your money gets you extra tokens, so be on the lookout for that. Seems like a good variety of machines packed in a small space and my nephews enjoyed their time here on a Saturday afternoon. read more

Ever since this year we've been offering Fun Factory as an incentive to my daughter for those weeks that she has achieved all her stars for doing her jobs everyday. She rarely gets all her stars so coming to Fun Factory is quite a treat. We've been here several times this year and she absolutely loves the grabber machine. My husband is good at it so it encouraged her to keep asking him to do it so she can get a prize. Well the last two times it was a little trickier to get. Not sure but the stuffed animals just kept falling through the grabber. My husband kept trying and trying but it still wouldn't pull up to the output. The manager was watching and he told us that he could just get the stuffed animal with a certain number of tickets. So we went to another game and played until we got that amount of tickets. Then at the end we redeemed it and got our stuffed animal. Today we went again and my daughter wanted to do the grabber. They had a narwhal in there that she wanted. We tried several times and it still wasn't happening. My husband went up to the worker and asked her how many tickets for the narwhal. She says 750. So we try a few more times on the grabber machine and it's still not happening. So we go over to another machine that has a high ticket payout and play until we get enough for the narwhal. Then when we are done we go up to the counter to redeem for the narwhal. The lady says that she has to talk to her manager. So she goes to talk to the manager and comes back to tell us that it's not possible to buy the grabber machine animals with tickets. She asked who we went through last time and we said that same guy, the manager. So he comes to talk to us and tell us that isn't possible and that the last time he made an exception for us. I was so mad. He never stated at all at any time that it was an exception. I told him that he shouldn't even have done that in the first place if that was the case. Terrible business to go back on their word like that. How's that when the lady at the counter says its 750 tickets to redeem but yet we can't get it. Unbelievable. I was so irritated about this whole situation. My husband had to shush me and I had to walk away and he dealt with the man. My daughter got the narwhal in the end but all of that could have been avoided, if he didn't go back on his word from last time and change the rules. We are probably never going back here again. read more

Shout out to Josh for going out of his way to help the nephew in getting his balloon at the end of his birthday party. You really made his and our day! read more

Fun Factory - Awesome employee going out of his way to help - Arcades Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Daughter wanted to come here to play games. Hubby has a game card here. You just have to reload your card and then swipe it to play games. We had a fun time this afternoon. My daughter played this coin game and finally won two Poke mon cards. Then, my daughter wanted to play air hockey with me so we did. So fun! I also played basketball with her to help her get points. Plenty of space in here to social distance. There were hardly anyone inside until it got later in the day. Located inside the mall. Such a fun way to entertain your kids. My daughter loves coming here every now and then. We will definitely be back again. Highly recommend! read more

Great place to pay with kids :) Not a big place, but there are plenty of different games to play. There are a few crane games that you can play until you get something without adding more tokens. My kindergartener loved that game (since she would never "lose"), but also bowling and snowball games. My younger toddler couldn't play much (obviously she's too young), but she had fun riding on the horsey, sitting on the car, and just waddling around ;) The staff was nice and helpful! They were all friendly and smiley - my kids are usually shy, but they waved to them :) The only downside is that it's not that cheap - you can easily spend $30 in an hour :p it might be worth it to become a VIP member if you are planning to stay here long. read more

Workers are always so friendly and we go every Tuesday when it's half off games. We go on certain holidays (usually 2x's a year) we get the double dollars, add) add $10 get $20 worth of credit. Lately the prizes from the claw machine and ticket winnings are what's popular and my kids love it. read more

Lots of fun!!! great place to go before dinner or a movie and even a better place to go after! Lots of fun lots of new games to play in the kids love them... Many of them teach them I hand coordination and other skills while they went, amazing prizes! read more

I'm not sure how long this Fun Factory has been around for, but I've dropped in with my niece on and off over the years. It's a good place to kill a few minutes, but you can easily go through the games very quickly and then there's not much appeal left. They do have a few games for each age bracket, but they don't rotate game offerings very frequently which at least to me seems fairly bland. The kids still seem to find interest in the merry go round and a couple games, but I really don't know how this location has stayed in the mall for so long I don't see how they get many return customers. Full disclaimer, I may be a little bitter because I can never win a stuffed animal on that claw machine! read more

This is the best Fun Factory on the island. I am really into the claw games and games you can win stuff. They have a good variety of games here. The staff is always nice and friendly. read more

I don't come here as often as I did when my daughter was a baby. Well, after that incident that happened a year ago. This place is pretty pricy. They got a new ride that takes pictures after your kid after the racing and I didn't realize how effen expensive it was! 18 tokens on Tuesday because half off Tuesday if you're VIP. So 36 tokens on regular days? Are you kidding me? not even worth it. I'll make sure my kid never rides that ride again. Anyways, 4 stars for the young girl who was willing to shuffle the claw machine for me. Because those machines are impossible to win. read more

My daughter wanted to ride a course and this place was one of a few I could think of. We bought a $50 game card so she could ride and play. It lasted a good 50 minutes for her. There were a lot of kids with their parents here on a Saturday. No social distancing or limit to the number of people in there. No sanitizing between customers so bring your wipes! There is hand sanitizer stations around the place though. One guy working the counter so be prepared to wait if it's busy. read more

I love bringing my kids to this location. The workers are friendly and helpful. The games are great. And it's very clean. read more

Fun Factory - Huge stuff animal game - Arcades Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Decent arcade. We came here after coming to a different location and all the games are rigged! Obviously it's an arcade, and arcades are rigged but I didn't win anything. Come here if you want to play games but probably not win any prizes. Very rigged! read more

My daughter LOVES the carousel ride ...... it is a fun place to treat your little ones when in the mall - I usually put $10 on my card and everytime we are in the mall we stop for a ride and a game or two.... secret is to go early during the weekdays when it is not busy !! read more

Great place in Kahala mall. OK, 1 extra star because I won my first Angry Bird here. over all, it's like Jungle fun and Dave and Busters. You need a card to play. Pricey but a good way to get away from the shopping stress!!! G read more

This is the regular pit stop at Kahala mall every time I bring my daughter grocery shopping with me. I always forget to check in here because I either too busy playing the games with my daughter (feel like a kid again!) or taking pictures of her playing games or on the rides. Fun experiences always! This Kahala Fun Factory is clean, never crowded and always fun! The boys that work here are always so attentive, friendly and helpful with the prizes area! The prizes are awesome too! Great selection to choose from! I will be visiting this place in the near future! read more

Fun Factory - Horsie time! - Arcades Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

I'm usually not a big fan of a video game arcade type places, but I actually enjoyed visiting this location of fun factory. It is dark in there, but doesn't feel slimy like other locations. Over all it felt very clean. They have games for kids of all ages and I don't remember seeing any violent stuff. It was quite a treat for my kids to go there. The staff was quite nice too. The honor roll program is interesting too. I wouldn't take my kids there frequently, but once in a while, I would read more

I find all the fun factory all over Oahu are much more fun than chuck e cheese or Dave and busters. Maybe because the prices for the tokens for their games and arcade are cheaper. read more

My daughter loves this fun factory!! They seemed to have gotten some really awesome prizes recently! We had over 250 tickets to redeem from two cards! She redeemed for a Princess Disney notebook and also a Sofia the First pink bracelet. It looked like they got a bunch of coloring books for boys and girls, many new items! She was a very happy camper last night!!! :D read more

FUN! Spent 15 dollars and played many games. I think the big fish game gives the most tickets for the price you pay? Got about 500 tickets. My cousin and i Waited for kuru kuru sushi while we played at fun factory. Got a hello kitty pencil box-- VERY CUTE! 2 wind up dinosaurs! Supper cooooool! 1 popper thing. read more

Ever since our daughter was 1 years old she's been a FF-aholic. We would plop her on the carousel ride in the front and walk around in circles holding on to her. Now that she's 4, she no longer needs Mommy and Daddy to hold on to her. In fact, she's become so gutsy on that ride we have to tell her to stop putting her legs and feet up on the horses ears and leaning back while holding the pole. WTH? Our daughter now loves to play the other games and even their roller coaster simulation ride. Daddy has even won a Nintendo DS from the Stacker game. That game is sooooo addicting! I'm still hoping to win an iPad one day! This FF location is probably the cleanest FF on the island. I always see their workers cleaning the games, rides and tile floors out in the front. They are also very friendly and have even given a free carousel ride to our daughter once in awhile when they are out front. read more

My 20-month-old daughter recently discovered Fun Factory and it is now her favorite place in the mall! We can't go to Kahala Mall without a trip to Fun Factory-- we go at least once a week! We've only tried a couple of the games since my daughter is still too little for a lot of them, but she loves the basketball and the water shooting the ducks game! The last time we were there, we also checked out the prizes that you can trade your tickets in for and I must say that I was impressed with the selection available! I'm sure it can get pretty crowded at this location, especially at peak hour for families with kids but since we go during the day on weekdays, it's never very crowded! read more

Small and mostly for younger kids. Other ones have better variety of games for more age groups. But this location was clean and the staff very helpful and friendly. read more

This convenient location was just newly renovated! It's a little bigger now but also has some updated games! My kids are still young and usually stick to the kiddie rides (carousel, water shooting, car riding activities) but it looks like they have recently added a lot more older kids games. The staff here has been very friendly. My kids loves this place. Took off a star rating because the even though games are affordable it's still much more expensive than places like Chuck E Cheese. read more

Not quite the game place for the small ones but many parents take their keiki under 4 years in the morning to Fun Factory! Gets quite busy in the afternoon when school gets out! Not found of the many kids that hangout after school sitting at the games like the are benches talking story with their friends keeping others who actually want to play the games from being able to do so!!! The Animal card game has become an obsessive game for many! Parents will spend what must be at least $50 on credits so their children can sit at the game for more then an hour playing it not stopping to give others a chance to play too!!! read more

Came here yesterday with my grandkids and they had a blast! Prices are reasonable enough, and the environment was clean and much more preferable over chuck e cheeses or any of the other arcades around. Kid friendly and service was awesome. Keep up the good work! read more

Decent selection of fun things for a little kid, but a bit on the expensive side. Plus, the crane game seems rigged. My 4 year old daughter got really excited when I got the claw in a perfect position. The 3 fingers of it wrapped perfectly around the round stuffed animal and there was nothing anywhere around it touching it or exerting any sort of influence, and yet when the claw lifted up the fingers just went completely limp and let it go. You folks should really be ashamed of yourselves to operate such a gimmick and disappoint small children. read more

Clean. Affordable. Staff is friendly and attentive. Games are generous with the tickets. Perfect spot to wait for your table at Kuru Kuru or for your movie to start. Air Hockey is our favorite game. The only thing missing is Skeeball. read more

Fun Factory - Arcades Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Written by "Bobby Peanuts" age 6. I think Fun Factory is the best place. You get to play games there. You get to play basketball, and other games like Fruit Ninja and ski ball. People get prizes when they win a lot of games. You get to choose prizes. When you play the claw, it gives you tickets so you can buy a Minecraft sword and a toy gun! So that's why you should go to Fun Factory. So drive to Fun Factory now! read more

i used to go to fun factory when i was a kid. i remember all the ticket i used to collect just to get a candy or small toy that i would play with it for day or two. Now they are so many advance toys like ipad mini or samsung galaxy tap... what? what a lucky kids... these are items that you could possible to win, the reason we give 3 star is that we wanted to play few dollars of game to give it a try but worker told me it's no longer play by coins, they require us to buy the card and minimum of $5 in the card to get the game starting. They had a vip price where it's 10% cheaper but to get that you have to play a lot. i just wanted to play little and don't want to carry any card after i'm done. i wish they bring back the old system where you just get coins and use it that way. read more
