Family entertainment centers (often called FECs) are purpose-designed venues that offer a mix of leisure, gaming, and recreational attractions under one roof (or in weather-protected settings). They aim to serve families, children, teenagers, and groups seeking social entertainment experiences. Typical features include arcades, laser tag, bowling, trampoline parks, VR/AR gaming zones, indoor playgrounds, mini-golf, escape rooms, and various skill or competition-based games. These venues often bundle attractions with food & beverage, merchandise, and event hosting (birthday parties, corporate events, group bookings).
FECs tend to be smaller in scale than full-scale theme parks or amusement parks; they are more local or regional in draw, focused on repeat visits, and usually located in or near residential or commercial zones (malls, entertainment districts, mixed-use developments).
