Global Family Entertainment Center Market Definition

A family entertainment center, often abbreviated FEC in the entertainment industry also known as an indoor , family amusement center, family fun center, or simply fun center, is a small amusement park marketed toward families with small children to teenagers, often entirely indoors. They usually cater to sub-regional markets of larger metropolitan areas. FECs are generally small compared to full-scale amusement parks, with fewer attractions, a lower per-person per-hour cost to consumers than a traditional amusement park, and are not usually major tourist attractions, but sustained by an area customer base.

Many are locally owned and operated, although there are a number of chains and franchises in the field. Some, operated by non-profit organizations such as children’s museums or science museums, tend to be geared toward edutainment experiences, arcade studios, , and VR gaming zones, physical play activities, skill/competition games, and others rather than simply amusement. Family entertainment centers, or FECs, are miniature indoor or outdoor amusement parks that offer a wide variety of entertainment for all ages. Bowling alleys, miniature golf courses, museums, water parks, and zoos are some of the many FECs that have endured for a decade.
